A True Gift (Becca x MC)

This is my first ever submission to #ChoicesCreates, the theme being ‘The Holidays’. It’s a bit short, but i didn’t think it needed to be much longer.

Thanks to @dopecatcollins for hosting as usual and this weeks co-host @captainsugarcakes.

Alison is sat on the bay window seat, looking outside watching as snowflakes slowly descend from the sky. Each snowflake swayed side to side as it fell in its own individual rhythm. It was a calm and peaceful backdrop, providing Alison a mental escape from the pit of writer’s block.  Her gaze is broken from the snowfall at the sound of a few light knocks at her door, a smile already forming at the knowledge of who is on the other side.

Becca followed her knocks and let herself in as she so often did and greeted Alison with her big beaming grin. “Hi Alison!”

“Becca!”

The blonde and the brunette wrapped each other into a tight hug. Alison was warm and cosy, Becca felt slightly cold to the touch having not long returned home. As they broke apart from their welcoming embrace, Alison looked down and noticed Becca had been holding a small box. It was no bigger than her hand and it was covered in red sequins, paired with a golden ribbon tied in a near perfect bow. The very picture of a Christmas gift.

“Erm Becca… is that?”

Alison was beginning to feel worried, they hadn’t been together long, and had no idea they were getting each other gifts. Becca quickly sensed her internalized flustering and put her hand on her shoulder to help reassure her.

“Hey I know this is still new, but I wanted to get you a little something to say thank you.” Becca continued to smile, her face glowing with glee as she passed the small box to Alison, giving her full permission to open it.

Alison took the box from Becca’s hands, and stared at it for a few moments, wondering what could be inside such a small box. She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty she had nothing to hand over to her girlfriend in return. She looked to her and could see the excitement portrayed on Becca’s face, somehow smiling brighter, and wider than before as Alison hesitantly pulled at the golden ribbon.

“Err. Becca…there’s nothing in here?” Alison’s face quickly fell into a look of confusion.

“I know!” Becca laughed giddily and lunged at Alison, ambushing her into a big hug, almost lifting her off her feet. “What was I meant to get you, you already have me.”

“I can’t believe you made me worry for nothing!” Becca set Alison down which freed her arms and she was finally able to return the embrace, her enthusiasm causing both girls to stumble around the room as they laughed wildly.

“Happy Holidays”
