Artie
It was around 2:00pm, and my afternoon with Tina had been going great! I was a bit sidetracked however. Many ideas were being reasoned in my head about how I should go about giving my present to Tina. 'Can't you not just wrap it up and give it to her?' I thought to myself. Nope. As a matter of fact, my present for Tina couldn't exactly be wrapped, so the delivery of her gift had to be special. I thought of some ideas.
We decided to get bundled up and go for a walk. Though the snow was hard to maneuver through with my wheelchair, it was what Tina wanted to do, so I was not going to be selfish like I had in the past, and ruin a perfect day.
"Are you ready to go?" Tina asked
"Yup," I replied, as we headed out the door. It was not too cold out, which made our walk more enjoyable.
The mid-Christmas day weather was gorgeous. The sun was shining, the trees were sparkling from the thousands of flakes surrounding them, and the fluffy snow was a perfect shade of white. My thoughts were then interrupted when what felt like ice cold needles attacking my face.
"Hey!" I squealed, sounding like a terrified little girl. Tina laughed at my state of embarrassment. Her laugh, oh how I loved her laugh. It was so unique. It was like music to my ears.
"Oops," she said innocently. "Guess you are going to have to get me back, but only if you catch me!" Tina knew she could outrun, me, a wheelchair bound boy.
She started sprinting down the shoveled pathway, while I tried to catch her. Ten seconds later, she was already out of breath, panting as she sat in the snow on a neighbor's lawn. Tina was not an athlete.
"Already tired?" I asked. I knew by the look on Tina's face that she was planning something. Before I knew it, yet another icy snowball was whipped at my face.
"Nope!" She replied with a smirk. I laughed at her amusement and leaned in to kiss her, as it started to snow.
Tina
The rest of our walk was more peaceful. Artie wheeled himself, with me on his lap, on the way home. The warmth of his body was relaxing in the chilly weather. There was something comforting about Artie that made me love him so much. Maybe it was his low, charming voice, or his super human upper body strength.
When we got home, Artie made me hot chocolate, and he some coffee. I personally did not like the taste of coffee. Artie however, was a bit addicted to it.
Artie led me to den at the back of my house, which was puzzling. Usually when we watched a movie it's in my room, but that thought only crossed my mind for a fraction of a second. I was just happy to be with him, and that's all that mattered.
He stopped, waiting to see my reaction. The room was glowing with candles lit along the coffee table. The lights were dimmed, and there was instrumental music playing in the background. Artie wheeled over to where his guitar was sitting and started playing along with the music and sang to me. The song was unfamiliar, but it was amazing. As Artie finished the song, I could feel tears starting to form.
"Artie, that was…" I could not even comprehend words to describe my feeling. I was speechless. "That was beautiful," I said, letting the tears trickle down my face.
"I wrote it for you, Merry Christmas, my love," He spoke tenderly.
I crawled closer to him, from where I sat myself earlier, and gently pressed my lips to his, as he wiped the tears from my eyes. The kiss deepened, and I ran my hand through his dark brown hair, and moved my legs to meet his, where they intertwined. About a minute later we both slowly pulled away, smiling at one another.
"I'm glad you liked it. I phoned Kurt earlier today, right before our walk, wondering if he could decorate the room, I knew he wouldn't turn down a task like that, even on Christmas," he laughed. "I was going to ask Mr. Shue if we could sing the song for Glee, as a duet," he offered.
"I would be honored."
Quietly, Artie started playing his guitar again, and we sang together, a tune that we both knew.
You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow
