Squam was...well I don't see why he wouldn't be there at the apartment. Maybe he was out buying some groceries .... unless it was like 3 in the morning, then maybe not. You know what- obviously he wasn't in the room with her, BUT HE WILL BE. Soonly. Wait no um I decided he was in the bathroom. Sure.
Okay he was feeling a bit restless for some reason or another. Could it be the Christmas eve jitters? Nahh he hadn't had those since he was a kid. Then again it was his first Christmas with such lovely company in a long while. It also could have been the cat mrowling outside that woke him up at some point but now he was up. He'd even splashed some water on his face.
He flipped the light off and went back into his room to find that for some reason the light was on. /Wha-.../

Okay she DID hide this box in the closet, so maybe he already got a peek at it. BUT IF HE UNWRAPPED IT SHE WOULD KNOW AND SHE WILL BE MAD. So let's presume he didn't get /too/ much of a peek, if he did at all. u vu
She smiled without lifting her chin from the box. Somehow this seems like she's being possessive of the box to me, but she intends no such thing. No, Squam, she'd been WAITING for you to leave.
Or maybe he did wake her up, whooo knows. But if he did, she wasn't too deeply asleep, because goshdarn she did not look sleepy in the least.

"Gotcha somethin'. c:" I'm sure he's noticed, Rose. But she was finally straightening up a bit, and now she only had her elbows on the box. Is he going to have to pry it from your corpse, Rose No, if he reached for it she would give it to him; if he came closer she'd push it in his general direction without... pushing it off her lap I would hope. 8| Not that it's likely anything in there would be damaged due to nice cushioning.

He looked around. Did they have a clock yet? What time was it? He quickly gave up on seeing whether it was "officially" Christmas or not though and smiled at her like /awww for ~me~?/
No, the box is for her. She wanted to show it off in front of him like /HA I GOT SOMETHING AND YOU DIDN'T/
He wasn't feeling sleepy either- though that might change in due time. "Oh?" Anyways, he raised his eyebrows and approached the bed. He tilted his head, examining the box from afar as if he could read its contents. Which he couldn't. Though maybe he tried to make a few guesses. Which he also couldn't. He sat down across from her, indian-style, and took the present. He assumed because she was handing it to him he could open it now. And well, if he was wrong then she could always viscously tear the present out of his hands before it was too late. But before he even started to open it, "Merry Christmas... -I got you somethin' too." Should he go and get it /now/....so they can unwrap ~together~~??

AHA, INDIAN STYLE I always refer to it as hippie crosslegs or something.
That was entirely up to him---he's just going to go get it and make it all derp isn't he. Rose doesn't care but /I/ want him to open his present first because /I/ know what he got her, SO--"I didn't write you a card," she noted a little guiltily. ....... I'm not sure what that has to do with ANYTHING so I guess she wasn't listening to what he just said. 8| After a moment she slipped off the bed into the little gap between it and Mr. Snuggleduckie.

By the way, Rose felt like mushing his face for some strange reason. SHE WAS ABLE TO REFRAIN but... I thought I would mention. 8c Must be an overdose of holiday cheer. She's acting/thinking like Daisy a little bit here

Ahh what the heck, he'll go grab her present after he opens his. So for now- he gradually began picking at the wrapping. "Huh? Oh...pfff that's okay I've got you right here so I don't need you to write me a card. c:>" And also he didn't even /think/ of a card, uhwhoopsie. He looked back down at the present and finally began tearing (actually kind of gingerly) at the wrapping paper until said box was revealed. And he'll open that too. He'll probably glance up at her a couple of times in the middle of all this unwrapping.

Yeahhh, she figured that, which is why she didn't get him one. BUT SHE THOUGHT SHE'D MENTION ANYWAY. She was squirming just the least bit--squirming isn't the right word, maybe swaying. /Moving/. Not quite fidgeting. She was a little bit excite, she will not lie.
Also I'd find this very adorable if they had messy uncombed hair and were wearing muscle shirts. Or something.


DUN DUN DUN GUESS WHAT IT WAS ba-bayum. But if he unwrapped it all the way or was particularly observant, he might notice the box was not in mint condition and had already been opened (once). Because the object seen on the box (lady not included) was not the only thing in there sjdfjsdhhj.

He smiled as though he was going to laugh when he saw the snuggie box. He didn't laugh though, he didn't want to sound like he didn't like it or something. AWW AND IT WAS RED /just like old times/. Red is his favorite color you know. Or maroon. Whatever- he likes shades of red (pink included). He opened up the box (which was unnoticeably easier to open up than he would have expected) and took the snuggie out to...pet it or something. Idk if the watch was rolled up in the snuggie or under it or what but some way or another he managed to make the watch fall out onto his lap. He hadn't been expecting it and must've been worried it was made out of glass and going to shatter or something because he immediately snatched it back up like /ohsht/. "Whoa..." And then he finally noticed it was a watch. It was a nice watch at that--a swiss army watch which he also appreciated for its red-ness. He set it on the back of one hand and held it out to look at it better. He looked impressed. "Damn, this is a nice watch--and I'm glad you're trying to keep me warm, haha." TRYING TO GET OUT OF BEING MY SNUGGIE HUMMM. But oh, where were his manners- he set the watch down on top of the snuggie and leaned forward to kiss her and give her a quick squeeze. "Thank you, babe~"

Now he oughta go and get her present...which was probably in some obscure place in the apartment. Or maybe not. He trusted her not to rip open presents on sight. At some point (idk if she has anything to say/do) he will get up to retrieve her present- which /is/, in fact, bigger than her head.

HEY SHE WOULDN'T MIND HIM LAUGHING until she's a shrew no even then she probably won't mind.
Rose was just smiiiiiiiling widely and her teeth were showing, though she sort of seemed to be trying to smile less. She did one of those closed-mouth laughs when he kissed her and did not at all tense up when he hugged her, instead /mmhm/ing at his thank you, and telling him Merry Christmas afterwards.
Indeed Rose would have politely ignored any gifts he leaves lying around--unless he put one right in front of the door to trip her with. A little difficult to ignore those ones, I'd imagine. Rose sort of reached for him when he got up--touched his knee or something--but very very briefly. She's not that clingy skjdkj. When he came back, she, too, reacted with raised eyebrows. She was not expecting something bigger that her head, and she wasn't sure what to think of it. So she looks sort of <: o right now.
She would (again) scoot closer when he sat down again though. IF he sat down. She might not be entirely eager to open it, but she /was/ curious.

He indeed sat down when he came back and only had to hold out the box slightly to hand it to her. It wasn't exactly light...but it wasn't too heavy either. "Here. When I saw it at the store I thought of you, soooo..." /so yeah. OPPUN IT WUMMIN./ no, shoosh idk what store he was in or whatever. BUT HE WASN'T /LOOKING/ FOR AN ELVIS HELMET, he just happened upon it and was like /oh hayyyyy/.

Saw what in which store now---oh, Rose supposed she'd find out. "Hm," she mused. OPEN-MINDEDLY. Not /hm I must look down my nose at this pitiful offering/. Of course, she had no idea. There was no way it was light enough to be lingerie, no matter how many he stuffed in there. Maybe it was that playgirl mag he promised he'd get her. More than one. Or... one that was the size of a phonebook, maybe.
These thoughts ran through her head as she--idk if he went and wrapped it, so I'm going with the more vague "OPENED"--it and peered in.
OH HEY a helmet. She lifted it from its box, smiiiiling. HOW DID HE KNOW SHE LOVED PRACTICAL PRESENTS gosh 8) <3
Her smile vanished when she surprised herself by turning it over and looking at the other side. She staaaared a bit like a cat seeing its reflection for the first time, gaping a tad, then turned it over to the blank side /is there another one that I missed somehow/
She turned the helmet back so that Elvis faced her again, and tilted it this way and that, inspecting each angle and shortly afterwards began to smile again.
Then she did something--a reverse sigh. That sort of happy mouth exhale. And she began to laugh, quietly, as if mostly to herself (probably mumbling a couple "Oh my God"s), and her face was a little red when she glanced up at him.
With a bit of effort, she set it down on her lap, then changed her mind and put aside on the bed instead, scooching over to him and hugging him so tightly under the arms without warning.
She would have told him she loved him if they were at that point.
Instead, she laughed just a second more as she pressed her cheek against his--WHICH ISN'T AS GAY AS IT SOUNDS because she's facing him, not next to him. Okay maybe still gay. When Rose pulled her face away, she gave him a very immediate kiss on the lips. The another that lasted a bit longer before unhanding him, though her hands were probably still on his person somewhere. Likely his arms or shoulders. "How much did it cost?" She asked in amazement(...?) Apparently she thinks an /Elvis/ helmet would cost gold bars or something.

And no, she has yet to notice the additional gift in the box kjfjskjkd.

He was busy fixing the watch onto his wrist while she was opening her present, but that didn't take him too long at all. He'd have to set the date and time and whatever else this thing had on it a bit later. He gave a slight smile /is she gonna like it, I hope she likes it, she likes elvis doesn't she?/ and that smile turned into a grin as he watched her reaction. He put his arms around her as she hugged him then kissed him, and then loosened up as she pulled away. "Wha-" He furrowed his brow, still smiling. "It doesn't matter~"

But oh well, if he didn't want to tell her it mattered not. She hadn't been that happy in......... lol like she would know. A WHILE. Long while. God she wanted to put it on an altar rather than wear it and expose it to the weathers.
Still, BEST BOYFRIEND EVER c8 Besides that one guy who got her two limited edition anniversary casettes Suddenly Squam was one pink bullet hotter. She cupped her hands over his cheeks, gave him one of those /MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMwah/ kisses, and scooched off of him.

He was pleased that she seemed to like her present so much. AND GOSH, if he knew she wanted to worship it, he'd have bought two, one for use and one for show. u nu He smiled into her kiss. Or if you want to be gay, he ~melted~ into it. Okay maybe not that exactly but for that moment he felt more contented than he had in a looong time. "Glad you like it. ♥ I thought you might." He kissed her back- though it probably wasn't the same kind of MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMwah kiss she gave him.

He felt the pressure on his head and almost immediately figured out what she was doing. He pulled away, but didn't make an effort to stop her from putting the helmet on. He simply made a face at her. One of those /Roses do the darnedest things/ faces I suppose. "Sooo...? Is pink my color or what?"

She tittered a little and gave the helmet a peck. "Goes with your eyes. Thank you." She said the latter a bit more quietly. Or maybe a lot more--she just meant to thank him for the helmet though.

WHERE DID MY REPLY GO TO THIS, I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY TECHNOLOGY.

Anyways, he looked up when she kissed the helmet, as if he could see it somehow, then he looked back down to her with a soft expression on his face. "You're welcome." And hey- that sure seemed like a good idea. Seeing her go back under the covers like that made him remember he was cold. He could use his new snuggie for warmth some other time; like when he /didn't/ already have his other snuggie and some blankets to use for warmth right there in front of him. Before he crawled in after her, however, he figured he should take the helmet off (or would she prefer to sleep with it). So he did so, and took care to set it somewhere nice like on his dresser, and then he climbed under the covers after Rose. He was laying on his side, facing her, but he didn't go all octopus on her just yet.

You know what, she would not at all mind sleeping with the helmet. Squam can go wait in Ainsel's room to give them some space.
I mean if Squam is going to sleep with the watch---
Rose was just watching him with her head resting on one arm. There is the slightest possibility that she is thinking, and a slighter possibility she was thinking about him. GASP. Even slighter was the possibility that she was thinking about how on earth she was going to be able to pack up and move on now that.... /this/ happened. She wasn't sure what "this" was, exactly, maybe its name is Liam Ather. Yes he can be an event if he wants to be.

Oh he's an event is he? Is that a fat joke? u nu No, but anyways, an actual post now-
He glanced down at the bed momentarily when he noticed she was actually watching him. I'm not sure why... it was a little late in the game to be feeling shy. Maybe it was because he had something on his mind himself, and looking at her directly made it weird to be thinking such things.
And such things may have included realizing he couldn't think of anything else he could possibly want for Christmas; or you know, in general. Except maybe the balls to tell her what he wanted to tell her.

If he WASN'T laying down she would have started wondering if there was a problem. Maybe related to the bathroom.
But apparently he is lying down--oh yeah you mentioned an implication about lying down post before last HAHA nvm this I'm forgetful. e De She was feeling glad she got the giftgiving over with. If they actually did it on Christmas day in front of a tree and everything she'd be so embarrassed and antsy and "ennnnh". By the way, she still wasn't sleepy, but she could pretend to be if she wanted to.
She half-wanted to. More than that she wanted to move closer, so that was what she did. Again. But she closed her eyes too so it wasn't much of a /hay shy boy~ ;D/ move as it could have been.

I'm not sure if he's sleepy or not, but even if he was, he'd have a hard time falling asleep on a full mind.
He smiled when she moved closer, but hesitated to drape his arm loosely over her as he often did.
/So what?/ is what he thought. And that translated to:

So what if I spill the beans and she doesn't love me back? It'd be nice, but I can't really /expect/ her to. Maybe she'll be one of those people who suddenly realizes they love someone after being confessed to. 8'| Or maybe she'll just feel uncomfortable about it and suddenly act like I have cooties. But I mean it's not like I'll suddenly change just because I tell her, except maybe I'll feel a bit better (or worse). Yeah, I can totally use that in my arsenal of excuses if she wants to leave me after I admit it. Oh god, why am I telling myself she's going to leave me, oh god.

And I'd hate to see his face as he thinks these things. He's probably thinking it pretty rapidly, and his facial expression might be changing once or twice. Then finally, he snapped he laughed, very quietly to himself, and put his arm loosely over her as he intended to do earlier. "Yeah, I love you." ...as if he was deciding whether or not he did or something... And he put his face in his pillow. IT'S NOT AS /LOLOLOL I SO SHY u///u/ as it seems.

"Mmmuh" He was talking more and she wasn't sure she wanted to talk and--oh he's stopped talking.
... At least he wasn't demanding to know how /she/ felt. That was always a plus. She supposed he was right, too--not about the whole...... L word thing. She wasn't sure she wanted to believe he was right about that, since... if he /was/ and then he, oh she didn't know--changed his mind that would sort of suck.

((I should note here YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD SUCK EVEN MORE, ROSE if /you/ changed your mind. Gosh.))

But he was right--he should be right. Nothing /has/ to be changed. It still got pretty awkward somehow though. Maybe she should have just laughed it off (too)?
"I love you" "HAHAHAhaaaaahahahahahahaha good night."
Maybe not. It's not like she can go back and change her reaction anyway. Come to think of it, she guessed it was maybe sort of about time he sprung the words on her--how long have they been dating now, a year? Just because she wasn't ready for.... something, she didn't know what--didn't mean LIAM had to be not ready too. What were they getting ready for? marriage, kids, old age, a house with a picket fence and a nice lawn Oh God oh God HE SAID IT DIDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING

Rose eventually calmed herself down and decided she wanted to at least try to make things less awkward before she sleeps all of this off. She knitted her eyebrows in vague, antsy thought. A kiss would work splendidly, but she wasn't sure she was up to it. Sex... she was pretty sure he maybe knew about how she /"solve problem" with seks/ but there wasn't a PROBLEM and she didn't want Squam to think there was one.

She took a bit of a deep breath and propped herself up with her arms. And she looked at him. /And now what, Rose./ She cheekpalmed, her expression reading exactly that. Or maybe it read /Now I am unable to sleep, Liam Ather/ WHO KNOWS A part of her wants to make up some lie about hearing the fridge stop running and having to go fix it

His expression probably looked more neutral than anything. HE WAS SORT OF HOPING SHE'D GO STRAIGHT TO SLEEP ALSO. That would mean he wouldn't have to start feeling so guilty so soon.
But ohp, there it was: the guilt. And he gave her a guilty shrug. He didn't like the awkward. Then he had an idea- /talk/ the awkward out of the situation, by just being completely honest-! "You....You kind of seem like I just told you you have cancer." /AM I YOUR CANCER, BABY? -sob-/ But oh wait...he remembered she /didn't/ like talking the awkward out of things.

ROPES is pretty sure he's not the type to be that bothered by something he's had in mind for a brief amount of time sssssoooo. She supposed he's "loved" her for a while now. DON'T SAY YOU LOVE ME, YOUUU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME-IF YOU REALLY WANT ME, BETTER GIVE ME SOME TIME~
I think I forgot to mention she's been sort of blushing all this time, but that's probably because I hate that word. Blush. It's so desu and weaboo andANYWAY MOVING ON
"Hm," She reached up, touching the back of her fingers to his face. /If I ever loved someone... .....I don't think not telling them will bother me.../

I the roleplayer think it will definitely bother her. Probably for a different reason than why Squam's buggered about it but bothered nonetheless.

A thought occured to her right then. Maybe she SHOULD lie. One of those vague not-really-a-lie-per-se lies that----will probably make him mad when he finds out it's not completely true. Why was she so sure it would be a lie though. Maybe she did lo... she didn't know. Rose didn't know how she felt, not for sure.
With a sigh, she placed her head back on the pillow. "I'm thinkin' you're right." No idea whatsoever. She opened her mouth a bit as if to say something else, but she didn't.

He wasn't even sure how long he loved her. /I/ know, and if I told him, I'm sure he wouldn't like the answer. /jeez, it took me THAT long to say it? 8(/ ...except maybe it just took him this long to feel comfortable enough to confess; that and figure out that he was in love in the first place. He flopped back onto his back and placed a hand underneath his pillow. "But, y'know, I feel kinda better now. All I really wanted to do was tell you." Gosh, he sure is chatty, suddenly. |8;

Oh, well, great then. She's glad ONE OF THEM feels better. No she's not bitter, she is a bit surprised though. For some reason there was the smallest pang of disappointment when she heard that was /all/ he wanted to do, but what else was there for him to do?

"Really?" She didn't at all mind him being more talkative. He usually wasn't. In fact, Rose sort of wanted him to keep talking. Talk her to sleep, even.
If he did keep talking, eventually she'd return to being riiiiiight next to him. Her favorite spot in the whole apartment.
I'd say the whole city but that's so gay

HE FEELS BETTER AND WORSE AT THE SAME TIME OKAY. He feels better that he's gotten it off his chest, but now he feels guilty for admitting it at all. He wouldn't feel guilty if /someoooone/ hadn't made him feel so nervous about it.
yes it's all her fault, be quiet. "Yeah...well, sort of..." He lowered his voice a bit. "What I mean is- I just wanted to tell you...but I still mean 'it' even if you..." Aaand he cut himself off. For some reason, he really didn't want to get into whether or not she felt the same way either. From what he could tell...sheeee...
okay. he couldn't tell. ): But in his opinion it was leaning towards a no at the moment. Such a pessimist. "Hm, I shouldn'ta splashed water on my face earlier." Now he was the one who couldn't get back to sleep. Though, if she eventually moved closer, he'd probably get comfier and fall asleep at some point anyways.

Maybe he only feels nervous because /sooooomeone/ made /sooooomeone else/ feel nervous /first/.
OR NOT okay it's all Rose's fault. She's sorry. She killed the jews too.

She really did feel kinda bad though. HERE HE IS telling her how he feels and she's just making faces at him. (This makes me think she's been making silly faces like people do to babies but no no no no).
"... I don't know." She said it slowly and carefully. Let's see how he interprets this : |

Yes she did move closer, around the time he said he shouldn't have splashed the water.

He didn't really mind if she just made faces at him. It was just nice to talk to her in a moment where she couldn't easily get away.
He looked at her face without saying anything for a little while. He wasn't /exactly/ sure to what she was responding to, but it made the most sense that she was saying "I don't know if I feel the same way". Which...he could understand. It wasn't exactly easy for /him/ to figure out how he felt. Someone else had to clue him in first. "Mm... that's okay." Whatever she was "I don't know"ing about... it was 'okay'.
Gradually, he'd start to worm his arm back over her; as he got more sleepy.

It was nice to talk to him. And listen. They should do more of that, she thought.
Rose loved how he was just so accepting though, and she wasn't sure there was a reason she couldn't try to be the same way.
So he can love her if he wants. She won't get mad or leave or act awkward or even mind this arm that was again confining her to the bed.
She snuggled a bit more against him. BECAUSE, UHM, SHE WAS COLD YEAH idk why she's smiling a little bit she's just cold.


In the morning she's going to wake up to the Elvis helmet and be : D again, so probably even less awkward there.

He exhaled, and this time it was more from contentment than out of nervousness. And hell, u Au like he cared /why/ she was snuggling him. He just liked her snuggling him.

And that's good... actually okay, he probably won't beat himself up in the morning as much now that he feels a little better about how this went over.

When he feels himself dozing off, he'll probably make an effort to give her a peck...somewhere on her face. He won't really be aiming, I'm guessing, so... yeah.
