Prompt: "look what we're standing under"

"Where are You taking me mon amour, the partys back there" You giggle as Charles pulls you away from the giant Christmas party you threw this year. The sound of laughter and holiday music fades the further he pulls you down the hall. Twinkling Christmas lights that decorate the wreath hanging over the entryway cast a warm glow and adds a special feeling to the atmosphere.
"I wanted to give you your gift now" he says and stop you both in the middle of the hallway. He smiles down at you as you pout playfully.
"You said we were doing gifts this year" you tell him with a quirk in your brow.
He rolls his eyes, "we both know neither of us followed that rule"
"True, yours will be here tomorrow" you both chuckle and that's when Charles digs into the pocket of his suit. Pulling out a small yet fancy looking box with a silk ribbon tied around it.
Your eyes light up with excitement as Charles hands you the box.
"Is it that bracelet I told you about?" You guess as you gently open the soft box.
Charles chuckles and shakes his head, pushing a strand of hair behind your ear as he says, "just open it mon cœur"
You look up at him one more time before you lift the black lid off the box. A gasp falls past your lips and you cover your mouth with one of your hands, the Swarovski diamond choker necklace makes your eyes widen.
"Charles..." you say softly. Immediately Charles feels like you don't like it.
"If it's not your style I can get you a different one I just saw you looking at it and I thought-" he continues to ramble on, stumbling over his words until you throw your arms around him. Catching him off guard and making him confused, but he still wraps his arms around your waist.
"No Charles it's, it's perfect I love it" you tell him, pulling back to look up at him.
He lets out a breath of relief that makes you giggle.
"You had me worried for a second" he tells you with a small smile.
You shake your head, "I love it Charles, I love you"
His smile widens even more, looking up for a brief second before looking down at you. A glint of mischief in his eyes, "look up mon cœur"
You frown in confusion but Charles puts his finger under your chin to guide your eyes up. A small laugh falling past your lips as you catch sight of the mistletoe hanging over your heads.
You look back at him as a wide smile spreads across your face, a blush coats your cheeks.
"Well you know what that means" you say as your hand comes to cup his cheek. He leans into your touch as he nods.
"I definitely know what that means" he says lowly before leaning in. Catching your lips in his in a soft and sweet kiss.
You both pull back, slightly out of breath. He leans his forehead against yours as he smiles down at you, his eyes full of love and adoration.
"Merry Christmas y/n"
"Merry Christmas mon amour"
