3 and half weeks later
Skye was decorating her room for Christmas Eve. The school went on winter holidays 5 days ago and the gang was focused on helping their parents in decorating houses. Skye was doing the same thing and her house was almost ready for Christmas, only her room was remaining without decorations. She even had her personal little Christmas tree for presents which she also decorated in toys and stripes. While looking at her tree she reminded one thing: Chase was also preparing himself for Christmas, but unfortunately by only himself, which made Skye feel sad a little bit.
Skye (thoughts): Chase is doing his best to make this Christmas unforgettable. Still it's not right to celebrate it alone. But hey! I promised him to help, I should go.
Skye quickly came to her closet and put on some warm clothes, then she went down on first floor, told her parents where she's going and closed the door. She went to Chases house to see how's he doing and when she saw his house, she couldn't get any happier: all walls were covered by garlands with little lamps on. Skye also saw Chase inside the house who was putting tape above his TV. He turned his head to see Skye and stopped fixing tape, then he went to open the door.
Chase: Skye! Glad you came here!
Skye: Of course. We decided that I'll help you after I finish decorating my house. Come on.
The duo entered the house, which looked like more adorable than before: it was very light inside, many garlands, Christmas tapes were hanging on walls. Skye looked happily at decorations feeling comfy in Chases house.
Skye: How much time you spent to do all this thing?
Chase: 3 hours.
Skye: Woah, in solo. I should came earlier. You must be a little tired.
Chase (giggles): Nah. The hardest thing is to prepare the Christmas tree. It's kinda tall.
Skye: Oh ok then. Let's go.
Chase went on second floor form where sounds of struggling could be heard and then Skye saw Chase who was caring Christmas tree. She never thought that Chase would be so strong though and was looking at him in awe.
Skye: Wow! It's quite heavy.
Chase: I thought the same when I was 13. I bought it only because of presents.
Skye: Did you actually received presents?
Chase put Christmas tree carefully on floor, looked at Skye and shocked his head sadly.
Skye: Oh God. I'm sorry to hear that.
Chase: It's fine. Now, give me that box.
Skye: With Christmas tree picture on it?
Chase: Yup.
It took 30 minutes to fully decorate the tree, but the cutest thing was when Skye was sitting on Chases shoulders and put a start on top of the tree. Then they laid on coach to rest.
Chase: Phew. Thanks Skye for help.
Skye: No problem Chase.
Chase: Oh wait. I never used it before, but (takes something from floor) one man said that this thing is for couples. Can you tell me the name of it?
Skye blushed madly: Chase just showed her a mistletoe. This blush made Chase look confused.
Skye: Chase. It's a mistletoe. When the couple is staying or sitting under this thing, they kiss.
Chase (blushes): Oh, sooo, that means...
He didn't finish his sentence as Skye leaned and kissed him, catching Chase off guard. He kissed her back as his heart filled with love fully: his crush kissed her. 10 seconds later they let go.
Skye: Wow. It felt... nice.
Chase: Yeah, but why did you tight your lips?
Skye: Because... (sighs) I love you.
Chase: You love me? But... why?
Skye: At first, you are very talented and handsome boy. At second... you need the person who loves and cares for you.
Chase (smiles): I... I love you too Skye.
They hugged each other not wanting to let go as Chase started sobbing a little, making Skye worried.
Skye: Chase? Everything alright?
Chase (sobbing a little): Just... I'm happy that someone loves me. I'm... so happy for the first time: I got friends who are ready to help and I have you as a girlfriend.
Skye: Awwwwww! I'm so happy to see you like this.
Chase: Promise me one thing please.
Skye: I'm all ears.
Chase: Never leave me and... be with me when I need this.
Skye (kisses his cheek): Promise!
