no gifts, no tinsel, no stupid christmas music.. just you and nat in the moment.

she’s had a rough day. usually, every day is a rough one for natalie. she didn’t have the best home situation, and wasn’t a very reasonable person either. she was impulsive which lead to her making things worse for herself.

one place she felt safe and content was your arms. laying with you, feeling your breath against her neck..

you were just supposed to be hanging out, but out of nowhere, natalie sits up. “almost forgot.” she muttered gruffly, reaching into her jean pocket.

“here.” natalie handed you a little box. “i know, i know.. we agreed on no presents but. found some lying on the street.” she shrugged, clearly embarrassed.

inside was the most beautiful crystal bracelet you’d ever seen. it wasn’t even pristine , probably not even real.. but the fact it was from her made it better. infact, you’d even mentioned this exact crystal in conversation with her the other day..
