You have a huge family, and they take the holidays so seriously.

I'm talking 'Christmas-Eve-party-in-Peepaw's-mansion-with-plus-ones-and-secret-Santa'. On Christmas in 2012, your aunt brought actual reindeer.

So, yeah. It's sort of embarrassing.

This year's the same as every year, except you're single this time. You're pretty sure if you see anyone else kiss under the mistletoe, you're gonna have to walk out and sleep in a pile of snow.

Everyone's just dispersed after finishing Secret Santa, and you're in the kitchen; you're looking for something to eat, but you mainly just need something to do.

Just as you stumble across a tin of your favorite cookies, someone else waltzes into the kitchen, whistling to themselves.

It's just your cousin's friend he brought, Leo or whatever.

In a Santa hat, a green button-up, and black jeans, he looks like a Latino Santa's elf. You're not sure if that's intentional or not, but it's kind of a good look on him.

Leo laughs awkwardly and sticks his hands under his armpits. ''Hey, um...are you a part of the family?''

After a second, you realize he probably came in here to get away from the noise, like you.
