Over Time [Ethan Dolan]

Over Time [Ethan Dolan] 🎄

Description: Ethan and Y/N are co-workers, but they barely know each other. But they both have to work through the holidays.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas!

This happened every year. Y/N's boss insisted on staying open on Christmas Day, so without fail, every year since she started working at Jeff's Coffee House; she got stuck working Christmas Day.

"So Y/N, you and Ethan are working Christmas Day. You guys need to be here at five in the morning to open at six." Jeff says as he approaches her the week before.

Y/N stops making another batch of cookies and turns to him. "Jeff, I've worked every Christmas Day since I've started working here." Y/N informs him.

"Well everyone else is busy or out of town." Jeff replies.

"My family is going to New York to spend Christmas with my grandparents. I was supposed to go, again." She argues.

"You never told me about that!" Jeff yells.

"Yes. I did. I put it on your calendar and I put a reminder on your desk on December first." She lets out an exasperated sigh. "If you want the store open on Christmas Day so damn bad, why don't you cover it yourself?!" She asks, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Now you're working open to close on Christmas Eve. You either show up or I'm firing you." Jeff threatens before turning and leaving.

What she really wanted to do was tell him to fuck off and quit right then and there, but she really needs this job, so she kept her mouth shut.

As she started the batch of cookies again she realized that he had said she's working with Ethan, the new guy. Great, he has a whole day to hit on her like the others do.

§§§

Christmas Eve was a mess, just like Christmas Day would be. Every other store is closed so everyone comes to Jeff's.

Y/N arrived ten minutes before she needed to be there, because it had snowed, so she needed to shovel the sidewalk and she had to preheat ovens. She clocked in, turned all of the lights on, preheated the ovens and pulled out everything that was prepared the night before so she could just throw it in. Then she went outside to shovel and salt everything so no one fell.

By time she got inside it was five fifteen and she realized Ethan still wasn't there. She didn't really know much about him. Just that he started a few weeks earlier and that he is around her age. She's never worked with him before, so she didn't even know what he looked like.

§§§

She was in the back at six pulling the last batch of cookies out and putting them aside to cool when the employee door opened. A guy, Ethan, she assumed walked in out of breath. He took his hat off and stomped the snow off of his shoes.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. I slid off the road and I tried to get ahold of Jeff to have him tell you I'd be late because I didn't have any way to contact you but he didn't answer his fucking phone." He rambles. "I swear I'm normally not like this." He finishes.

"It's ok. It happens." Y/N chuckles. "And just a piece of advice, don't go to Jeff about anything. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself and his money." Y/N grabs a sticky note, writes her number down and hands it to him.

"You're kind of a pro here aren't you?" Ethan asks as he grabs the sticky note out of her hand.

"Yeah, I'm a manager and I've dealt with his shit for four years. He's made me work every Christmas Day since I've started here and yesterday I had to work open to close because I pissed him off when I called him out on it." Y/N says as she turns the tv in to watch a movie.

"He seemed nice when I interviewed and for a week after but here lately he's been a douchebag." Ethan says as he puts the food in the cases along the front counter.

"Yeah he does that with everyone. You just have to learn not to listen to his bullshit and how to defend yourself." Y/N says as she grabs a piece of paper to doodle on.

"So this may sound stupid, but is it normally busy in Christmas Days?" Ethan asks as he comes up beside her.

Y/N looks up at the clock. "Not until elevenish or noon. And it's pretty steady after."

"Well I'm glad my first Christmas Day here is with you. You seem like a great person." He compliments.

"Thank you. I'm glad I get to spend my Christmas Day with you and not by myself. Normally the other person calls off."

"I wouldn't leave you here by yourself."

§§§

After a hectic day they closed up and walked to their cars.

"Merry Christmas, Ethan." Y/N says before getting in her car.

"Merry Christmas, Y/N."

The Two Percent [Adrian ‘Taco’ Kovacic]

Description: Y/N has to handle some business and Taco gets protective.

Warnings: Harrasment, cursing.

After having been a trainee at Bondi for two years, Y/N finally finished her TAFE course, and got offered a permanent job.

Of course she took it. Who wouldn't?

She was three months into her first summer as a fully fledged lifeguard when she was asked to do a voiceover for Bondi Rescue on a incident that had occurred a month earlier.

"Ninety-eight percent of people down here at Bondi are great, they mind their own business, don't cause any problems. But then there is that two percent of people that are just complete assholes." She tells the camera. "There was an incident with a group of kids, sixteen year old girls. They were local, and it was the weekend, so where else do teen girls go on a hot weekend? The beach."

Y/N was with new trainee, Adrian, better known as Taco, up at North Bondi, just watching the water when she heard a girl tell someone to go away. Neither one of them payed attention to it, but after the second time Y/N turned her head to look.

A older guy was over by the girls, he was about twenty, only two years older than her.

"Hey Tac and Y/N, I think you might have an issue a couple of meters away from you. This guy just keeps talking to these girls, and they aren't liking it." Chappo, who's in the tower, says over the radio.

Taco grabs his radio to answer back. "Yeah mate, we heard one of them tell him to go away. Has he touched any of them?"

"Not yet, but he's inching his way closer, just keep an ear out."

"Copy." Taco replies and sets the radio down. "If we have a rescue, you can go in just incase he acts up, you shouldn't have to deal with that."

Taco only says that out of sympathy, because ever since Y/N started at Bondi, some men would touch her butt, or grab her boob on "accident", or just do it because they think it's ok.

"Nah, I'll be fine." Y/N replies and grabs the megaphone to move some swimmers down to the flags.

After a while Y/N saw a few of the girls go into the water. She was standing in the back of the rhino drying off after a rescue, so she had a great vantage point. She sees the guy get up and follow them so, she radios up to the tower.

"Chap, I'm going to go talk to these girls. I'm not going to identify myself yet. Could you possibly send someone down here."

"Yeah will do. Take Taco with you and be careful." Chappo replies.

Y/N takes her lifeguard rash guard off and that leaves her in a black bikini. She jumps off the rhino and walks over to Taco's side.

"We're going to go talk to those girls, take your pullover off." She tells him. Taco nods and gets out of the rhino. He takes the pullover off and sets it in his seat.

They casually make their way into the water and Y/N stands beside one of the girls.

"Hey." She greets the young girl.

The girl turns and sees Y/N and Taco. "Hi." She smiles.

"Is that guy bothering you and your friends?" Y/N asks quietly, trying not to draw any attention.

"Sort of, but it’s nothing we can’t handle." The girl replies.

"Well, we are lifeguards here, so if you want him to go away just come get us. Alright?" Taco says. The girl nods and they walk back up to the rhino to see Bacon standing there as well.

"How’d it go?" Bacon asks.

"She said they were fine, but I told her we were lifeguards and that if they wanted him gone to come get us." Taco replies.

"Ok, I’ll just hang out here with you guys incase he acts up."

§§§

Eventually, the man got too close to the girls, and put his hands on the girl Y/N had spoken to earlier, and she was livid.

She was in the middle of talking to Taco when she saw what happened, so she cut him off.

"Excuse me, I have to go make a scene." Y/N says and hops off the rhino.

She starts speed walking over to the group and makes it to them before Taco even has a chance to breathe.

"Oi, buddy!" She exclaims. The man looks at her and the girls move away from him. "Come here. Now." Y/N demands. The man reluctantly agrees and walks over to her. "What do you think you’re doing?"

"Talking with to the girls." He responds.

"No. You were talking. They were telling you that they didn’t want anything to do with you, but you couldn’t take no for an answer."

"What the hell is your problem, little girl?! I could stomp your ass into the sand!" The man exclaims and comes closer to Y/N, and that is when Taco intervenes.

"I suggest you back off mate." Taco warns.

"Or what? It’s not like you can do anything."

"I can and will do something if you touch her." Taco states firmly. The man rolls his eyes.

"You need to leave the beach, and don’t come back." Y/N says.

"Why?! I didn’t do nothing!" The man exclaims while throwing his hands around.

That’s when Taco stands in front of Y/N. The last thing he wanted was for her to get hit.

"You touched her! Did she say you could?" Y/N asks as she points to the girl, who quickly shakes her head no in response.

"Whatever, she liked it."

Last straw. That’s what set Y/N off.

"Get the hell off the beach and don’t come back or I will call the police and have them arrest you." The fire in Y/N's eyes seemed to finally convince the man that she wasn’t screwing around, because he turned around and bogged up the beach and both lifeguards watched the man leave the beach.

After that was all said and done Y/N walked over to the girls and apologized for their experience with the man, and asked if they were all alright.

All of the girls were grateful that she and Taco stood up for them and assured the two they were perfectly fine, and then they left for their homes.

§§§

After pack-up when all of the lifeguards were in the tower they were all talking about how the day went when Bacon brought up the situation up at North Bondi.

"Y/N was a total badass, she wasn’t taking shit from that bloke." Maxi says.

"Yes, you could see the steam coming from her ears all the way from South Corner." Reidy laughed.

"And Tacky, I’m so proud of you mate! Always having her back." Deano adds.

"She’s always had mine." Taco replies and smiles down at Y/N, who in turn, smiles back at him.

"Awe, so sweet!" Harries exclaims.

"Yeah, it’s safe to say I’ve found my new buggy buddy."

Secret Santa [Will Lockwood] 🎄

Description: Will and Y/N’s best friends rig the Secret Santa, because they know Will and Y/N are in love with each other.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 3 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Y/N walks out of the locker room with her roommates Brooke, Morgan and Mady carrying her duffle, and book bag. They had just finished up at practice and were heading back to their house.

"Y/L/N! Wait up!" A voice calls out from behind her. Everyone stops and turns around. Luke, Griffin, Jake and Will are all walking together.

"What's up?" She asks as she adjusts the strap of her duffle bag that seemed to weigh twenty million pounds.

"Christmas party is at our place right?" Griffin asks, giving Will a look in the process.

"Yeah. Does that need changed?" Y/N questions.

"No. Will didn't believe us."

"Because we usually do team parties at their house." Will defends himself.

"It's senior year, we thought we should change it up a bit." Morgan says.

They start walking out to the parking lot again and Y/N continues to struggle with her bags. Will notices as he walks behind her, so he falls in step with her and grabs the strap. Y/N turns to face him as he pulls it off of her shoulder.

"Will, it's ok. I can carry it." She whispers as the rest of her friends carry on with their conversation about the Christmas party.

"I know you're still hurting from that hit on Monday, that and it's icy outside, let me help you." He's right, so she finally lets go of the duffle bag.

They make it outside and to their vehicles, but Will follows Y/N to her car. She unlocks it and puts her bag in the backseat. She turns to grab the duffle bag from Will but he motions for her to step aside and sets it in there himself.

"Thank you." Y/N smiles and gives him a hug.

"No problem. Be careful bringing it in and relax tonight ok? Don't try and deep clean or anything. Just eat some food, take a hot shower and go to bed."

"Yes mom." Y/N replies sarcastically.

"Ok lovebirds lets go! It's freezing!" Luke yells out of the window of his car, waiting for Will.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Y/N laughs.

§§§

The next day the group went to a Christmas tree farm to get their trees.

While searching for trees everyone besides Y/N notices Will watching her lovingly.

They had all been asked to take a picture with a young boy, who absolutely loved hockey and the University of Michigan's teams.

Y/N loves kids so, she was more than happy to take a picture. She squatted down next to the boy and wrapped a arm around him with a bright smile.

Will kept his eyes on her the whole time. He also loved kids, and Y/N's kindness toward kids, and any other person only made him like her more.

"Do you guys see those two?" Mady asks as she walks back to the group from the bathroom. Will and Y/N were both taking a picture with the little boy now.

"Yeah they make me sick." Luke says.

"Shut up, Luke. You're just jealous Will likes Y/N more than he likes you." Morgan laughs loudly. Brooke hip checks her to shut her up.

"They're both oblivious." Griffin says.

"We need to figure out how to get them together before the end of this semester." Jake sighs.

"I've got an idea." Brooke says and the group turns to face her.

"Elaborate." Luke says.

"So you know how we're doing Secret Santa again right?"

§§§

It was the weekend before the start of winter break, and the hockey teams were having their annual Christmas party. Everyone had pulled a name for secret santa, but Brooke and Luke made sure Will and Y/N drew each other.

Y/N had spent the two weeks before the party freaking out. She wanted to get Will the perfect present since it was their last year. She had asked everyone for ideas, but everyone was just as clueless as her except for Luke and Brooke.

At first Will had freaked out but he had a perfect idea for Y/N.

Y/N, Brooke, Morgan and Mady arrived first to help the boys finish setting up. They were all dressed up, the decided theme for this year was "black tie". Will let the girls in after checking Y/N out as well as he could with her jacket on.

He grabbed some stuff from their hands and helped them put their coats away before finally getting to take a good look at her.

"You look absolutely amazing Y/N."

Her face flushed as she straightened out her dress.

"Thank you. You look very handsome, Will."

Throughout the rest of the time before the party everyone was busy trying to make sure everything is perfect.

Will had rounded the corner when he spotted Y/N by herself standing on a chair hanging up a decoration.

"Y/N, please don't fall." Will says as he walks up beside her.

"I'm a big girl Lockwood, I can look out for myself."

"You're a klutz, Y/L/N." Will laughs.

"Shit!" She exclaims as the chair tips forwards from leaning too far. Will grabs her legs and pulls them to his body to hold her up.

The chair gets back on all fours and they both start laughing hysterically. Will picks her up and sets her on the ground.

"Maybe you do need someone to look out for you." He flirts.

§§§

After eating a lot of food, downing some drinks and taking a lot of pictures and videos of the games they played it was finally time to exchange presents.

Everyone had found their present and opened at the same time.

Y/N opened her gift to see a few things wrapped. She grabbed the smaller one first. She unwrapped it and opened the box. Inside was a rose gold necklace with "VIII - XI - MMXVI" engraved on it. She recognizes the date, August 11, 2016.

Will opens his gift to find a book that has things involving him on the cover. He picks the book up and opens it. It's pictures of him and Y/N. Most of them are candids of the two that he assumed they're friends had taken. Some were selfies they'd taken together, some were from school events. He looked through the whole book, scanning every picture with a big smile on his face until he got to the end. It was a picture of Will and Y/N looking lovingly at each other during a party, and under it there was a note.

Don't forget me when you get to Vancouver, rockstar. I love you.

Y/N Y/LN

Will looked at Y/N who was opening the last gift in her box.

He had gotten her a necklace with the date they met, a bag tag with his name and number on it and a picture frame with his favorite picture of them.

This was his plan, to ask her out using secret santa.

She unwrapped the picture frame and smiled while tears gathered in her eyes. She picked up the note and covered her mouth.

Brooke and Morgan who were both sat on either side of her looked over at Will.

I will always love you, beautiful. Be my girl?

Y/N looks at him and he stands up to go over to her. Y/N stands up as well and Will grabs her hand.

"I guess we're on the same page?" Will chuckles. Y/N nods.

"I love you, Will." He wraps his arms around her body and pulls her into him as she places her lips on his.

Luke and Brooke look at each other and fist bump.

"We're damn good matchmakers."

Black Ice [Connor Rhodes] 🎄

Description: Connor and Y/N meet in the ER on Christmas Eve.

Warnings: Car crash, injury.

A/N: Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Of course it had to dump snow on Christmas Eve in Chicago. When else would be a convenient time?

Snow causes everyone to drive even worse than normal and there is black ice everywhere.

The Emergency Room had been packed all day with general sickness patients, falls, trauma, literally anything that could get thrown at Chicago Med's staff was getting thrown, plus more.

There had been another accident on the highway and Connor was pulled from Cardio to help out.

His first patient had literally just been wheeled in on the stretcher as he walked in. A woman around his age, all banged up and unconscious, connected to a Cardiac Monitor, showing she is having some Tachycardia.

"Twenty-Eight year old female unconscious, and tachycardic. She was in the accident on the exit ramp." The paramedic says.

They lift her onto the bed and lay her flat. A few nurses join and quickly switch her to their monitors.

"We'll stick this cut on her forehead up and let's get a MRI and CT of her head, make sure she doesn't have any internal injuries. Also order a low dose of Propanol, that should help her heart rate." Connor orders.

"Yes Dr. Rhodes." The nurse replies and walks out of the room.

Connor grabs a suture kit and pulls a stool up beside the woman.

"Alright, lets get this cut stitched up."

§§§

After the dose of Propanol, imaging, and stitching were done, the woman's heart rate went down and it was determined that she didn't have any brain injury and the unconsciousness is most likely just a result of "fight or flight".

Connor kept checking in on her every chance he could.

He didn't know why, but something just pulled his interest to her.

It was around ten thirty in the evening when she finally woke up. The nurses paged him and he made his way down quickly.

He knocks on the door before entering. Maggie is in the room getting the woman a drink.

"Dr. Rhodes, this is Y/N Y/L/N. She is a interior designer here in Chicago." Maggie says.

"Hi Y/N, I'm Dr. Rhodes. I've been taking care of you since your accident earlier this evening. How are you feeling?" Connor asks as he takes a pen light out to check her eyes.

"I'm feeling ok. Just a little sore." Y/N replies.

He puts the light away and sits on the stool near her bed.

"Well, you are doing really good. You just have a cut on your forehead that we stitched up and when you were brought in your heart rate was high. Is that normal for you?"

"Yeah, I was anxious while driving and I worked myself up I guess." She replies quietly.

"It happens to the best of us. I flipped my car into a ditch one winter during college." Connor says, trying to make her feel better about the situation.

She lets out a light chuckle and smiles at him. "Yeah I guess it does."

Christmas Carols [Nolan Patrick] 🎄

Description: Nolan doesn't feel the Christmas spirit but Y/N, who lives above him, keeps playing Christmas carols really loud.

Warnings: None

A/N: Day 2 of 12 days of Christmas!

Nolan Patrick is the real life embodiment of the grinch this Christmas. This would be the first Christmas he wouldn't be home with his family because of his career.

Of course he loves hockey, but he also loves his family and wants to spend time with them during the holidays.

He didn't have a tree, or any decorations for that matter. He didn't participate in any normal Christmas traditions. Really the only thing he's done for Christmas was a video with the Flyers media team saying what his favorite Christmas movie was and why.

He hadn't even listened to Christmas music, even Frosty the Snowman, until his upstairs neighbor decided to blast her Christmas carols on a Saturday afternoon.

He kept quiet about it, even though it was annoying him, but she kept blasting it every few days, and after a bad loss, coming home to hear Christmas carols was the last thing he wanted to deal with, but he didn't want to cause issues so he just put his headphones in. With anyone else he would've told them to turn it down, but this is Y/N, his beautiful neighbor/kind of friend/crush. He won't tell her to turn it off.

A week later they bump into each other in the elevator and Nolan brings it up.

"So you seem to really like Christmas music."

Y/N smiles and replies, "Yeah, of course. Who doesn't?" Nolan stays quiet and looks down at his shoes. "You don't like Christmas music? You listened to it last year." Y/N questions.

"Yeah, this year is different though." He replies and starts to fiddle with his duffle bag.

"How so?" Y/N pushes.

"I can't go home because of work, so there's really no reason to celebrate."

Y/N sees the hurt on his face. He really wanted to be with his family.

"Well, how about this, you can celebrate Christmas with me since neither of us can go home this year." She suggests.

Nolan looks up at her and he shakes his head.

"It's ok, I swear. I don't want to intrude, I'll just have to celebrate next year."

"Nolan we've known each other for like three years. You're not intruding." Y/N laughs.

"Seriously, it's ok. I'll just watch some movies and order some takeout." Nolan assures.

The elevator stops on Y/N's floor and they look at each other.

"I won't take no for an answer Nolan." Y/N argues as she steps off of the elevator. "I'll make you stop being your little grinch self." Y/N winks before walking off to her apartment.

Nolan leans against the elevator wall and lets out a deep breath.

§§§

A few days later Nolan is walking into the building with Travis. They had just left practice and decided they wanted to play video games at Nolan's place.

"So Patty, how is Y/N?" Travis asks as they play call of duty.

"She's good. Why?" Nolan glances at Travis' face to see his smirk.

"Just wondering. You avoided the elevator." He replies.

"Uh. Coach says we need to stop being lazy." Nolan mumbles.

"So it doesn't have anything to do with Y/N getting home around this time?"

"No." Nolan croaks. "It's not-. Y/N doesn't-. Damn you Teeks." Nolan sputters, his cheeks burning.

"You like her. She invited you over for Christmas. Go or I'll kick your ass."

§§§

Nolan walks into the lobby coming in from Philadelphia's cold, snowy weather. It's the day before Christmas Eve and today was their last day of practice until the day after Christmas.

After brushing his hair out of his face he looks up to see Y/N standing at the front desk waiting for her mail. She turns her head to see Nolan standing there and waves at him. He walks over to the desk and asks for his mail as well.

"So, Christmas."

"Your place or mine?" Nolan asks.

"Be at my place at one. Don't worry about bringing anything." She says as she grabs her mail.

"You sure?"

"Just bring yourself Nol." She smiles before walking to the elevator.

§§§

Nolan switches the hand the bag is in before knocking on her door.

He knew she said not to bring anything but he didn't feel right so he got her a gift. With Travis' help.

The door opens and Y/N smiles at him.

"Hey, come in!"

Nolan walks into the apartment and looks around.

It looks like a Christmas bomb went off.

"I like your decorations."

"Thanks! I about broke my neck climbing up on a ladder to put the star on top of my tree." She chuckles.

"I brought you something as a thank you for letting me spend today with you."

"You didn't have to Nolan. If anything you're doing me a favor. Making me feel like less of a loner."

"You're not a loner. You know Travis, Carter and I love spending time with you."

"Yeah but I'm just the girl you guys hang out with sometimes." Y/N replies. "Anyway, I got you something too." She goes into the living room and grabs a box. "Open it, I might slip up if you don't open it now." Her bright eyes made Nolan's heart melt. Maybe this would turn out an ok Christmas.

"Only if you open yours first."

Wrapping Paper [Quinn Hughes] 🎄

Description: Quinn can't wrap gifts to save his life. Y/N is his neighbor and can help.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas!

"Mom, I have no idea what I am doing." Quinn whines to Ellen through the phone.

He's trying to wrap presents, and it's not going well.

"Well did you watch a video honey? Maybe that can help." Ellen suggests.

Quinn tries to pull the wrapping paper and accidentally rips it. "Damnit." He mumbles. "I did watch a video, it just doesn't work."

"Well, do you know anyone there that can help you?" She asks.

"None of the boys know how to." Quinn says, setting scissors down.

"How about Y/N? You guys always say that she knows how to fix and do everything."

Y/N is Quinn's neighbor and a photographer for the canucks. He has a tiny crush on her, but we don't talk about that.

"Mom. I am not asking Y/N to help me wrap presents." He sighs.

"Why not? She's always told you if you ever need anything just let her know." Ellen questions. She really didn't understand why he couldn't just ask Y/N for help. She's a really sweet girl.

"Because I'm twenty years old and this is embarrassing." He replies. He tosses the scissors on the carpeted floor and runs a hand through his hair. "Maybe I should just get bags."

Ellen laughs. "You do what you want honey, but I know Y/N will help you and not even question it."

"Ok mom." Quinn sighs, again. "Well I know it's late there so tell Luke and dad I love and miss them."

"I will. Goodbye Quinn, I love you."

"Love you too mom."

They hang up and Quinn looks around his living room, at all of the presents he needed to wrap.

"This is going to take forever."

§§§

"So Quinn, how is present wrapping going?" Brock asks after practice.

"It's been like three days and I only have two done slightly correct. So if that tells you anything." Quinn replies, taking his helmet off.

"Dude, just ask Y/N. Have you been to her place lately? She's got everything wrapped perfectly under her tree. I even had her wrap that one toy for my nephew."

Y/N walks over to the bench and greets everyone.

"Hey guys, were doing the Christmas pictures today just let me know when you want to start."

Everyone gives her a "ok" and she goes back to set up her camera to take pictures of the rest of practice.

§§§

After practice and the Christmas pictures and videos were all done Brock, Elias and Quinn were all walking to the vehicle they carpooled in to go home and play video games when they saw Y/N walking to her car.

So, as any teammate would, Brock decided to take advantage of it and help Quinn out.

"Hey Y/N!" He exclaims. Quinn shoved him and gave him a death glare while Elias just giggled. She turns around and stops to wait for them.

"Hey Brock, what's up?" She asks, shifting her bag on her shoulder.

"Could you help Quinny wrap his presents? He's struggling." Brock side eyes Quinn, who rolls his eyes.

"Yeah of course! Just let me know when you get home and I'll come over and help you?" She questions.

"Yeah! Thank you." Quinn shyly replies.

"No problem! You guys have fun playing video games." She says before she gets into her car and drives off.

"See Quinn. She's a sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid to talk to her." Brock chuckles, throwing his stuff in the car.

"I'm not afraid to talk to her." Quinn pouts.

"Yeah ok." Elias pipes in.

"Shut up Petey."

§§§

After getting home, Quinn texted Y/N and told her he was home and she replied a few minutes later saying she'd be over soon.

He looked around his apartment and decided to pick up stuff he'd thrown around randomly.

If only Jack and Luke could see him. They'd never let him hear the end of it. He can hear their voices in his head already.

"Quinn's got a crush."

"Quinn's whipped."

Whatever floats their boat.

His doorbell rang and he scanned around one last time to make sure it didn't look like a complete pigsty before opening it.

"Hey, thanks for coming over."

"You don't need to thank me. I've got brothers, I understand wrapping presents isn't really a guys thing." She laughs.

"Especially not mine." Quinn laughs with her.

§§§

After an hour, all of the presents were wrapped, labeled and decorated with bows. Y/N even sort of taught him how to wrap presents.

"I know you just taught me but I might just have to keep asking you to help me because I actually really like spending time with you." Quinn says, watching her write on a tag for Lukes gift.

"I like spending time with you too. You're a great person Quinn."

"Thank you. I think you're great too." He smiles. "So, would you maybe want to stay and watch a movie with me? I'll order us food." He offers.

"Yeah, that sounds great." She smiles.

Later after eating and while they were in the middle of the movie, Quinn gets a text.

Brock

So did your presents get wrapped Quinny?
