Lucy's POV:
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
I am currently helping Lucy decorate for a Christmas party. Her parents aren't there, and besides, I could use an excuse to celebrate. I twist gold and sliver garland together and hang it around the living room. The living room is circular and sticks out from the back of the house. About one fourth of it is completely windows with redwood between. The table and flooring are also redwood, the couch and chairs beige. I hung a mistletoe smack dab in the doorway out to the back deck. Maybe that way I can kiss Loke. Maybe even afterwards sit on the deck and look at Lucy's neighbors' Christmas decorations. Maybe I could do Christmas at his house, I'd love to know his family traditions.
"Lucy" Lucy shouts from the basement.
"What" I ask.
She throws a heavy box at me and I barely catch it.
"Decorations" she answers.
"Oh"
"Yeah" She says.
"Can I invite Loke" I question.
"Sure, but I put the candy canes around" Lucy replies.
"Thank you" I exclaim.
"Did you get a text from Gray?" Lucy inquires.
"Nooo, you?" I question.
"No, she never doesn't text back."
"I'm worried" I say.
"I'm gonna text her and Loke" I comment pointing to the couch.
I walk over to the couch and sit down. I grab my phone and text
Lucy to Gray : Are you there? Ur missing out on the fun.
Lucy to Loke: Hey, me and Loke are going to throw a Christmas party, we're going to invite some cool people and some from different schools, wanna help decorate?
Loke to Lucy: I'd love to gimme 7 mins
"Is Loke coming" Lucy asks.
"Yep" I reply excitingly.
"Good, now you can help me get a string out of this clump" Lucy comments holding up tangled fairy lights.
"Okay" I sigh.
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
I start by trying to find the end of the lights. After a bit I hear the doorbell go off.
"Loke!" I say.
"Hey man" Loke replies.
"Want to help me untangle these before anything else?" I ask, but it's not a question.
"Sure" Loke responds.
Loke seems sadder than normal today. Kinda sluggish, not looking anyone in the eyes, I'm a bit worried.
"You okay Loke" I ask with my hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, I guess, I mean, mom's gonna be gone for Christmas" Loke answers.
"You can Christmas at Lucy's house, I mean, It's what I'm doing" I reply trying to make him feel better.
"Knots out" He says holding the string of fairy lights.
"Decorate the tree now?" I question.
"Sure" He answers.
We decorate the green fake tree with many red and gold ornaments. We hang silver garland on the tree and above the fireplace. All while listening to Maria Lanzas's album on blast.
"I will never get sick of this song, I love every version by every person who covers it" Loke opines.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas" Loke sings off key.
"Come on Lucy"
"No, I'm a horrible singer" I reply.
"Make my wiiiish cooome truuuue all I want for Christmas is you" Loke belts off key.
"I won't make a list and send it" I give in.
We awkwardly sing extremely off key. Lucy looks at us, but she goes back into the basement after giving me a thumbs up and a nod. After the song end Lucy walks up from the basement.
Presents and cards are here
"Here I got these for you" She says handing us two wrapped boxes.
I open mine. It's a Danish language dictionary and cat ears (an inside joke).
Loke opens his. It's a brown pleather jacket.
"Oh my god thank you" I respond.
"mention not" Lucy replies.
My world is filled with cheer
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah
"Lucy, you offered spending Christmas Day over here, is that fine?" Loke asks.
"Of course, why though, if ya don't mind me asking" Lucy inquires.
"Everyone going for Christmas, don't want to sit there and drink coffee alone and watch movies, alone" Loke answers.
"Yay" I exclaim.
"Why are you so excited?" Loke questions.
"Because I can spend Christmas with you" I answer laying down on his
Fairy lights are Christmas lights for the fairy tail
