3RD POV.

It was Christmas eve, Evelyn had invited all her closest friends with a neat envelope in her fancy cursive handwriting that she did every year in a themed Christmas card.

Every year it would always be the same people, she had gotton tored of inviting the whole school so overtime she just kept it to her closest friends!

Like Funneh, Evan, Prince, Kai, James if he decided to come out of his cave (his dorm.), Gold, Lucas, Aly, Kyran... she never really cared to invite Alec but for reasons... (Funneh bribing her for some reason.) She had to apparently?

She wondered for a split second then did care because she'd probably leave him if he crash on a bicycle or something.

Anyway!

Her Christmas Eve Parties always had plenty of snacks! Evan would even play Christmas music on the piano in Evelyn's living room. And of course everyone would make a small treat to bring...

☆

it was around 7PM, Evelyn was setting down some chocolate chip cookies she made earlier that day on a plate, she also had a fancy charcuterie board set out as well.

She hadn't set out a lot of stuff because she knew mostly everyone else would try to bring something, and none of them would eat much anyway.

Suddenly, she heard a soft ring from her doorbell, signaling someone was there. She smiled and went over to her front door, opening it wide to see Funneh and Gold!

"EVY!!!!" Funneh said with a grin as she Hugged Evelyn tightly. Evelyn chuckled. "Hi!!" Evelyn exclaimed. "Funneh don't choke her, jeez." Gold said with a laugh, walking in with a plate of some... very... uh, interesting looking plate of brownies.

Funneh scoffed dramatically. "Let me hug my girlfriend, Gold." Funneh said in a exaggerated, offened voice. "Oh shush, I made brownies!" Gd said excitedly.

Evelyn looked at the burnt plate of what looked like Ashes. "Ohhh! Thats... that's great! Uh, did you use that recipe I showed you...?" Evelyn asked with an awkward grin as she went to shut the front door.

"Yeah! Although I did kinda turn up the heat a bit so they would cook faster." Gold said. "Cough. So you'd burn them faster." Funneh mumbled. "Funneh! For crying out loud! They're crispy!!" Gold said defensively, setting the burnt dessert on the snack table.

After Funneh and Gold set the secret santa gifts aside under the tree, the three of them started to talk in the living room. The fireplace crackled in the fireplace as it seemed to flurry outside.

A while later, a knock on the door filled the silence and bam! The whole gang was here!

Kyran waved at Funneh and Gold, who were on the couch still, with a smile. "Heyo! Sorry if we're a little late. None of them wanted to walk so I was getting last minute texts to ask for a ride..." Kyran said as he sat his secret Santa gift under the tree.

"It's okay, it's not like it's a big deal." Evelyn said with a smile. Kyran nodded.
Alec walked into the living room, same with basically everyone else beside Lucas and Aly who were already at the snack table.

Lucas set down a tray of some macaroons that Kyran had bought from the bakery. Aly was already eating one...

Evan was already at the piano. "Gee, you must be excited to play." Funneh said with a laugh. She was still sitting on the couch that was right next to the piano.

Evan laughed. "Yup! I've been practicing on more Jazzy music so I wanna test it out! Especially since I usually do the keyboard with more modern music for the band I don't really get a chance to do other kinds.." Evan explained, rolling his sleeves up to play.

You can play the song on the video above now If you want. It's optional if you want it to play while reading or not since it's just what Evan is playing in the backround of the events. :)

Everyone was talking with each other, eating snack. Once Funneh spotted Alec and Kyran talking to each other.... she knew it was time for....

*☆*GET KYRAN AND ALEC UNDER THE MISTLETOE SO THEY CAN FINALLY KISS*☆*

Especially since Alec had been crushing hard on Kyran for a bit now, hell, he had been talking about it to Funneh so now was the time! And it was a payback for helping Funneh get with Evelyn soo..

Funneh went into the dining room across the house to get her stuff, Alec meeting her in there as well. "are you sure about this?" Alec said in a doubtful voice. "Very sure!" Funneh said excitedly.

Funneh pulled out a long stick with some string tied to it with mistletoe on the end. "I'm a professional!" She grinned. Alec face-palmed.

"I genuinely don't think this is gonna work." Alec huffed, putting his hood back on his head. "Alec, stop being insecure. C'mon, where did the confident and flirty Alec I knew when WE dated???" Funneh asked. "Dead and buried." Alec said bluntly.

"I just never really felt what it's lime to have someone- to like someone I genuinely love- like a lot." Alec explained in a silent yell. "Oh c'mon, it's gonna work, let's try!!" Funney dragged Alec out of the dining room, stick in hand.

"Can't we reconsider!!" Alec shouted.

☆

With Gold in the living room, she sipped some warm hot cocoa. Prince and boatboy, his little brother Bennett, had finally arrived, even Prince would even admit that Evelyn only invited him was because him and Gold were dating...

Prince walked over to Gold, gently kissing her forehead. "Can I have a sip of that hot cocoa?" Prince said in a teasing voice, sitting down beside Gold. "No, it's mine." She said with a giggle. Prince pretended to be offended. "Aw man! Why not??" Prince said, leaning his head on her shoulder.

"Because I sipped it. I don't want no- uh- slobber in it!" Gold said with a proud smile. Prince laughed. "Slobber?! I don't slobber! That's so unsanitary." Prince grinned.

"Yeah right." Gold said with a playful grin

"Oh, how dare you. I might just not give you you're Christmas gift." Prince said teasingly.

"What-"

"I'm just kidding, here." Prince handed her a flat black box. Gold set her hot cocoa on the end table of the couch, taking the box slowly. She opened it up to reveal a delicate looking gold necklace with small diamond charm.

Gold gasped softly. "Oh my gosh... it's beautiful...!" She said with a smile spreading across her lips. Prince smiled, kissing her cheek. "A beautiful necklace for a beautiful girlfriend." He said softly. "You flatter me." Gold said. "That's because I love you." He grinned.

☆

Lucas and Aly were watching Evan play on the piano. "Holy shit, I never knew how good you were." Aly said surprised. Evan chuckled. "Indeed! I can play anything." He said confidently. "Anything?" Lucas raised their eyebrow. "Anything!" Evan grinned confidently. "What about bohemian rhapsody?" Lucas challenged...

That I fact was a song Evan didn't ever learn how to play...

☆

James and Kai were by the snack bar. "Y'know, I'm shocked you came..." Kai said low, eating a cookie. James hummed, he was watching Funneh who was on the second floor, hanging off the second floor railing to dangle mistletoe above Alec Kyran.

Kai looked over as well. "Hold shit, what the hell is she doing???" Kai squinted in confusion. "I overheard Funneh and Alec talking about Funneh helping him get Kyran with him under the mistletoe. "Well, I knew that but I didn't think it would go to that extreme." Kai said surprised.

"Although I did put some tequila in the apple cider Prince and his little brother brought so maybe that'll give Alec some liquid courage.." Kai said with a huff.

"Yeah, atleast everyone else's love life is doing better then ours." James said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Indeed." Kai hummed.

☆

Alec and Kyran were talking by the stairs where Funneh was above. Alec paused to rub his eye. "Is you're eye okay..?" Kyran raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah! I think somethings just in it..." Alec mumbled.

"Oh, maybe try putting like.. water on it? That's what I do sometimes." Kyran suggested with a smile. Funneh aggressively shook the stick so Kyran would notice the same mistletoe above them.

Alec hummed. "Oh yeah, maybe." Alec murmured. "Anyway.. I think I'm gonna go talk with Evelyn,haven't talked to her in a while, see you Alec!" Kyran smiled. Kyran waked away.

Funneh stomped down the steps. "He's a fucking idiot!" Funneh cursed under breath. Alec aggressively rubbed his eye. "OW! and I think I got a eyelash stuck in my eye for real now!" Alec winced.

"...idiot.." Funneh murmured. "Ugh, I'm going to drink some of that Apple cider.... it taste weirdly better then usual..." Alec grumbled as he stomped over to the snack table.

Funneh huffed, following him as well...

☆

As the time went on, everyone chatted with each other. Over time people also started to give each other their secret santa gifts to each other as well!! Alec had already given his to Prince, flashbacks of him running around the mall all week playing in his head.

After a few minutes tho, tipsy from the apple cider taht Kai had poured tequila in.. Kyran pulled Alec aside into the dining room across the house.

"Hey so uh- I'm you're secret Santa." Kyran murmured holding out a box. Alec's eyebrows raised. "Huh, didn't see that coming." Alec chuckled as he set his cup down on the dining table to take the box.

Kyran hummed, fidgeting with his hands as always. "I had been wanting to give it to you for a while now... y'know... ever since we became friendly again after years of being petty and rude to each other.." Kyran explained.

Alec nodded in understanding, unwrapping the gift to reveal... an old trophy... made with some cheap.. fake gold...

The words *☆Yanori Middle school. Hockey star player!☆* carved on it with the fox mascot on top.

Alec's eyes widened. "Y'know... I always felt you were the one that deserved it that day... not me." Kyran mumbled nervously. "Wow, Ky... I uh..." Alec was at lost for words... trying to keep himself from grinning or even tearing up from joy.

Alec cleared his throat, looking off to the side. Kyran chuckled slightly. "Heh.. you're actually sorta pretty when embarrassed..." Kyran blurted out.

He slapped his hand over his mouth, face looking mortified with embarrassment. Alec's eyes shot back at him In suprise. "What?" Alec breathed out.

"UUHH- I SAID YOU LOOK- *☆*SHITTY*☆*" Kyran blurted out again. Turning away to leave. "GOODNIGHT ALEC!" Kyran practically sprinted out of the dining room, Funneh who saw the whole thing watched as Kyran grabbed his keys and booking it out of the house.

Alec still stood there with a beating red face, frozen like a statue.

☆

A bit later, Alec still held onto the little trophy like a lifeline, replaying Alec's words over and over again as he sat beside the fireplace.

Funneh plopped beside him. "Welp, it's clear he likes you back. You didn't get like you wanted tho, sadly." Funneh huffed, eating a cookie. "...he said I was pretty." Alec breathed out to himself.

"Yeah? So? He complimented you once. You're acting like a teenage girl in a movie from the early 2000's." Funneh said bluntly. "You've never felt like this with Evelyn?" Alec Asked.

"Oh- well-"

"Oh she really was." Evelyn butted in with a grin. "When we first started dating she would sometimes come up beside me and just stare at me while I was doing whatever." Evelyn said with a laugh.

"Oh shush..." Funneh grumbled, crossing you're arms. "But hey, atleats you know he likes you back... even if he immediately ditched the party from embarrassment." Funneh said.

"Honestly I think he's just walking down the street sipping a juice box because I remember one year ditching the party with him. Taht was when you would invite the whole school." Alec explained as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Possibly... although I'd just leave him be, he'd come back if he really wanted to see you again.." Evelyn suggested. "True... true..." Alec murmured. "We are sorta similar in that aspect..." Alec added.

"Actually, what's the trophy he gave you from?" Funneh asked curiously. "He had said something like "you deserved it more." Or something like that." Alec hummed.

He held up the trophy so Funneh could read the engraving on it. "Yanori middle school, hockey start player!"

"Did he ever mention that we played hockey together years ago...?" Alec asked. "No! He never did. I thought he hated sports tho?" Funneh raised an eyebrow. Alec hummed.
"He did... mostly... but he always enjoyed ice skating, and once he figured out I was signing up for hockey, he wanted to as well so we could be together still which was cool at the time." Alec explained.

"And when we did play hockey, I was usually the start play and ahead of the team, Kyran right behind me." Aalec started to explain. Flashbacks starting to flood his brain. "After a while tho... we had been in this lile... 'championship' but it was more of a test if we would be super dedicated to Hockey when going into high school... which sounded cool at first but..." Alec cleared his throat.

"Kyran started performing... really poorly which meant he was also dragging down the team because, if our team could win, we would be able to still keep the team together into high school and still do games like that." Alec took a long pause to remember what else. Funneh adjusted her position to lean in closer slightly.

"So I was all frustrated... because I had been so great so far but... working in a team was never something I was very good at... even after like 3 or 4 years of playing... and when practicing one
day I snapped... i had started to just... yell at him and scold him for being so.. bad at it..." Alec swallowed, wiping his eyes.

(I don't know shit about how hockey works so cut me some slack on this next part.)

"And then the day it came... the final day... we were doing sort good... it was a tie for a majority until the it was the last score... and I remember exactly what happened... Kyran was almost about to score for once.. he swung... and missed miserably, falling over and then the other teams goalie shot all the way to the other side where the rest of our team struggled to get it away from our goal.. and I completely lashed out on him, worse then before. I pushed him down a second time... I screamed at him.. and then I was forced into the penalty box for the rest of the round... and then guess what?" Alec paused to take a breather.

"Judging by this large ass paragraph of a memory, Kyran made you're team win?" Funneh said low. "Yup!" Alec said with a tired smile. "He was the tiebreaker and had our team won... and was a awarded the star player award... I still think out of pity they gave it to him. But... I was still salty... and I got my ass beat by my dad later on so ☆extra salt on the wound☆" Alec said with a huff.,

"But... I suppose even after all of that... I still remember Kyran's face... his tears and all that..." Alec frowned. "I know I'm the reason hes so scared to mess up at anything..." Alec muttered low, staring down at the trophy. "Yet he was the one in the end to feel worse..." Alec cleared his throat wiping his eyes.

"Are you crying?" Funneh squinted. "No I have dust in my eye." Alec grumbled.

"Welp." Funneh stood up. "LOOVVED that large paragraph of a story from when you two are kids- I'm gonna go tell Gd the tea now- OH HEY KYRAN'S BACK!" Funneh pointed to Kyran who was being dragged back in by Lucas.

Alec shoved the trophy into his backpack he brought and went to sit on the couch. And Funneh ran off away.

Evelyn watched as Funneh ran off. Looking back at Alec. "Gee, I never thought you and Ky had such a... crazy past." Evelyn murmured. "Like a motherfucking rollercoaster." Alec muttered, staring up at the ceiling.

"Hm.. anyway." Evelyn stood up. "You want more Apple cider?" Evelyn asked. "Nah... I've had too much.. I think Kai put some type of liquor in it..." Alec said I'm a mumbled tone.

"True... I knew it was more strong then usual.." Evelyn muttered. "I'm gonna go ask him.." Evelyn walked off.

Alec sat there alone...

☆

The Christmas party peacefully went on. Lucas and Aly kept begging Evan to try and play bohemian rhapsody. Even tho he didn't know how. Kai and James mourned their dead girlfriends by drinking large amounts of the apple cider.

Gold and prince were being all lovey dovey with each other. Funneh was talking with Kyran, trying to see if he'll go sit with Alec. And Evelyn was at the snack table.

So yeah, peaceful for them.

Alec didn't think Kyran was gonna talk to him for the rest of the party, hell, the rest of the month until the whole 'you look pretty. What did you say? UH I SAID YOU LOOK SHITTY! GOODNIGHT ALEC' incident was forgotten.

Alec stood at the snack table, chewing on the macaroons Kyran had brought. It was a blueberry one which was oddly good.

Kyran came up as well reaching for a pink macoroon that was probably strawberry flavored, taking a bite from it. "Uh... hey, Al." Kyran murmured, leaning against the table beside Alec. "Hi...?" Alec raised an eyebrow, a little confused and surprised.

"Sorry about that whole.. thing.. from earlier, y'know, saying you looked shitty or something- don't remember what I said fully tho." Kyran mumbled, glancing away embarrassed.

'Don't remember what I said tho'

Ohhh, that was a lie and Alec knew it. He let Kyran play into the fantasy tho. For his and Kyran's sake.

"Meh, it's okay. I kinda got used to you calling me insults." Alec said jokingly. "And the gift balanced it out anyway..." Alec added with a smile. "...Good... I'm glad you actually liked it..." Kyran smiled slightly.

A more comfortable silence fell over the two. They both ate their macaroons and chatted for quite a while... Fun.eh watched in the distance with a big fat grin. Alec knew both her and Lucas snuck a picture or 8.

Choosing to ignore tho because atleats he got to talk to Kyran... although it's too bad they were at a werid angle to where Funneh couldn't dangle her stick with mistletoe at the end so They would kiss but hey, it's the simple things that count, and a pleasant conversation was all Alec needed honestly.

So for the kost part, it was a success!!
