Chapter 9: Wishes and Winter Sweaters.

"Just shut up about it, Dez." Austin's voice grumbled, sounding from across Sonic Boom. It sounded like he was in a very bad mood. Which was odd for Ally since it was early Christmas morning and she knew no one who would be grumpy at a day like this, especially someone like her boyfriend.

Until of course she actually saw the Blonde walk through the door, wearing a Crimson Red sweater that had, what looked like, a knitted photo of him but with reindeer antlers and a red nose- it was absolutely horrid- the end cuffs with ruffles as well as the neck hole.

She had to bit the inside of her cheek to keep herself from laughing.

"H-hey, guys." she greeted them, offering Austin an apologetic smile, as if to say that she was sorry to see him in such an ugly sweater but nevertheless she added. "Nice sweater, Austin."

This made him blush the same color as his sweater while Dez burst out laughing. "Ally!" he whined, pouting and crossing his arms like a 5 year old.

She giggled at him. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

He continued to pout and grump like the Grinch. And she couldn't help but think how adorable he looked even in the ugly sweater that he wore.

She smiled at him and held up her arms. "Okay, come on, come here. All the Grinch needs is a hug." she said, urging him to move closer to her. He quickly caved for her request and tackled her into a hug.

"I'm guessing that's the sweater you told me your grandma knitted?" she asked once they pulled away.

"Yes." he sighed, grunting again "It's terrible, Ally. And I can't even take it off because my grandma made me promise to wear it all day. Ugh, where's a wish bone when you need one- I wish to be out of this sweater!"

"Hey, I thought we weren't having a contest of who will have the worst Christmas sweater this year?" Trish suddenly came through the door, surveying the two of them.

Austin glared at her but she just laughed it off.

"Come on, Trish." Ally said to her while she rubbed Austin's back in a comforting manner, like every good girlfriend would do when her boyfriend was upset. "Give it a break. It's Christmas, let it slide."

Trish gave them a fond smile, it was rare to see Ally showing this much PDA in front of them. But as the Brunette had said, it was Christmas so she'll let it slide, but maybe just a little teasing wouldn't hurt.

"Okay, but if it makes you feel any better Ally had a sweater with her face on a snowman when were thirteen and-"

"Trish!" Ally protested, her cheeks turning red as Austin gave her an amused smile.

"It's Christmas, Ally, let it slide." she repeated, strutting out of the shop. "My work here is done. Merry Christmas, guys."

Austin kept on laughing and it seemed that Dez was holding in his laughter as well, while Ally glared at her boyfriend (8 months into their relationship yet she still can't believe how right it sounded for her to call him her boyfriend).

"Aw, come here," he imitated her earlier tone, spreading his arms so that she could step in and be engulfed in his warm hug.

She continued to pout much like him earlier but still moved closer to his embrace, nuzzling her head into the crook of his neck, right where the ugly white ruffles of the sweater ended.

A giggle escaped her as the ruffles tickled her face. "To be fair, even though mine didn't have ruffles all over it, it did glitter like a disco ball and I had a carrot for a nose." she said, referring to the aforementioned sweater Trish had brought up.

Then they heard a small clicking noise.

"This is so going to be on the website," Dez mused, smirking at the picture in his camera. "This week's poll will be on what's cuter: You two cuddling or Austin's sweater? Both are puke inducing at some point but still..."

Then he strutted out of the shop like nothing happened. The musical duo just stared at the Redhead.

For a few seconds they were just quiet, before Ally burst out laughing again. She wriggled out of Austin's embrace to race up that stairs to the practice.

Dumbstruck by what was happening, Austin only managed to stop her as she was entering the practice room.

"What-?" he blinked a few times "What just happened?"

She turned back to face him from the balcony up the stairs "Dez just added a new poll to our website, let's go check it." she answered, giggling a little "Also, I think the whole world just saw your adorably ugly sweater."

"What?!" he exclaimed, eyes widening like saucers. Then he ran upstairs, the next thing she knows, he was pulling her inside the practice room.

"Austin, calm down."

"I am so gonna kill Dez once I'm out of this disgusting sweater." he huffed, after he checked their website and true enough the poll was already posted- a picture of him in the sweater(dubbed as 'Austin the Red nose Reindeer') and then next to it was him and Ally hugging(or Auslly hug)- surprisingly, the poll was on a close tie.

"Ugh!" he groaned, rubbing both his hand on his face in exasperation. "I just wish this day would be over so I can get out of this sweater!"

"Oh, wow, that's a very precise poll." Ally said, plopping down beside him on the couch, peering over the laptop. "Who knew that us hugging and you wearing a god-awful sweater had the same cuteness level."

"Ally," he whined again, although this time it lacked the indignant tone. He was really exasperated from all these nonsense.

The Brunette chuckled "I'm just kidding, Austin." she scooted closer to him so that they were cuddling. "I'm sure your fans adore you even more so after seeing you in that sweater."

He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her even closer. "I'm not worried about that... it's just that... it's embarrassing to have the world see how much my grandma treats me like a little boy... I don't know, I just-"

"Hey, come on, there's nothing wrong with that." she assured him, squeezing his hand "You know how grandparents can be, they always want to show how much they love you. I think it's sweet that your grandma took the time to knit you a sweater- even though, that design doesn't really suit you- and I'm pretty sure most of the people who saw that picture is thinking the same thing: how lucky you are to have grandparents that love you so much. Plus I think your grandma was ecstatic about having to knit that sweater for her super-star grandson."

"How is it that you always manage to turn horrible situations into something beautiful as that? I mean, I never even thought of it that way but you... you're amazing, you know that?" he gazed down at her, his Hazel Brown eyes boring into her, letting her know how that he meant every single word he said.

He wasn't upset about the sweater anymore, in fact he's forgotten about it already.

Ally blushed at his compliment but didn't tear her gaze at him, she just stared back. Sure he's complimented her countless of time throughout their relationship- he's called her beautiful almost everyday, perfect, talented, and he's called her amazing quite a few times too- but there was just something how he said it today that made her feel fuzzy and warm- he made her feel complete.

And if she was being honest she thought he really did complete her; he's the only person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, it might be a little to early for her to think about it now but she's sure about it, she's sure about her choice.

That being said, since there's really nothing else to be said, Ally reached up and kissed him full in the mouth. At first, he was caught off guard by her notion but soon relaxed and kissed back.

The kiss was unlike any other they had shared before(and they'd shared thousands of kisses by now). It was a very happy emotional kiss, it was sweet, honest, solemn and blissful- it was indescribable how they felt for each other, but that kiss, it explained all their love for each other.

"Merry Christmas, Ally." Austin breathed out once they pulled away, caressing her cheek with his thumb "I love you."

"I love you, too, Austin." the Brunette smiled at him.

It was the first time they'd ever verbally said that they love each other but even without saying those words, it was pretty obvious.

After a few more minutes of just looking at one another in complete silence- both of them wanted the moment to last forever, memorizing every single detail about each other and wanting for this moment to be permanently engraved in their memories- Ally finally broke their gaze and moved from her place to stand up.

"By the way, I think I might be able to grant your wish to get out of that sweater." she said as she walked to the supply closet.

"Really?" his face lit up, following her to the door of the closet. She was getting something in there. "Wow, Ally, I mean I know we just said we love each other but really, you want to do it in here?" he waggled his eyebrows at her. Of course, he knew that's not what she meant, but it was always fun to mess with Ally.

She flushed then smacked him in the arm with the package that she got. "Austin!" she scolded. This boy really just had his moments sometimes.

"Ow- hey what's that?" Austin chuckled, rubbing the arm that she whacked.

"This is what I'm talking about, you dummy." she playfully snarled at him, shoving the neatly wrapped flat box into his chest.

"You got me another present? No fair, you didn't tell me we can get each other multiple presents, now I feel bad because I only got you one present." he pouted as he started to unwrap it.

"Just open it." she dragged him back to the couch.

He obliged and opened the package. The box contained a neatly folded T-shirt, but it wasn't just an ordinary T-shirt, it was the White V-neck limited edition Jimi Hendrix T-shirt that he wanted to buy ages ago. He wasn't able to buy it because it sold out in, like, 30 seconds after it went on sale.

"Merry Christmas, Austin." she said in a small voice.

Austin gaped at her "H-how did you get this?" he picked up the shirt, holding it out in front of him- he couldn't believe that she got him this T-shirt.

"I ordered one before it even went on sale, so I already had one reserved for you in case you weren't able to purchase one during the sale." she shrugged.

"This is incredible! You're incredible! I love you so much! Now grandma can't be mad at me for taking off this sweater because my beautiful, loving, fantastic girlfriend got me this T-shirt. " he pecked her cheek before shedding off his sweater and putting on the T-shirt. Then something else caught his eye.

At the bottom of the box that contained his beloved Jimi Hendrix shirt was a silver guitar pick necklace. He picked it up. "And you got me a necklace, too?" he said in his most incredulously amused tone. "Ally, how much did you spend in all of these?"

She shook her head "That necklace isn't even half the price of the Pandora Charm bracelet that you got me and the T-shirt is nothing compared to that custom made dress you got me."

He hung the necklace on his neck and then pulled her up from the couch. "That's it, I'm taking you out for lunch- I'll pay, no buts." he told her before she could even protest as he dragged her out of the practice room. "But first we have to show grandma what you got me."

When they got to his house, his grandma and his parents were more than pleased to see what Ally had gotten Austin. His grandma had taken a great liking to Ally, so of course Austin was off the hook for taking off the sweater.

Suffice to say, a few days later, she too received a knitted sweater that resembled the snowman one Trish had mentioned. Now Austin's wish to see Ally on that sweater would be fulfilled as well.

A/N:Have yourself a Merry Auslly one shot people! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoyed this and brought out your Christmas spirits! This is an establish Auslly. And I know I should be updating IYAA by now but I have this story that's been bugging me for a month now, so I had to write that one up first or else I'll only end up having writer's block.

Song of the Chapter is Fixer Upper from Frozen because I absolutely adore how the trolls embarrass Kristoff in front of Anna in that part of the movie. Also because I think Austin and Ally are both really similar to Kristoff and Anna, not just in appearance(you know both boys are Blondes and the two girls are Brunettes). For example, Anna and Ally are both very quirky and awkward at most times and also their love for love then Austin and Kristoff music skills and love for animals.

As for that story that I said that's been the cause for the hold up of an update for IYAA, I might upload that story next week or something, it's a multi-chapter story but only like 4-5 chapters long. So, hopefully, I'll be able to finish the 7th chapter of IYAA before 2014 ends. OH MY GOD, guys 2014 is almost over- it's been a month since the finale of season 3! Season 4 will be on January 18th! Ahhhhhh! If you're excited say 'woot, woot'. Okay, no actually don't say that, that was dumb. I'm sorry.

Anyway, as always please tell me what you think of this in the reviews. Thank you for the support, more to come and never hesitate to talk to me, I don't bite. =)
