You and Leo have been dating for three years, but this would be your first Christmas living together.

Your Christmas wish was that Leo would propose. You always like to casually bring something up about marriage in a conversation every once in a while.

At the current moment, you were cuddled into Leo's side with your eyes closed.

A thought popped into your head and you sprung up. Leo woke up from his nap and looked at you with tired, squinty eyes.

You couldn't help but aw at the sight. He was too adorable for his own good.

"What is it?" He asked in his tired voice while trying to manage a yawn.

You yawned after him.

"We should get a real Christmas tree."

Leo agreed and the two of you got ready to get one.

You put on leggings, an oversized sweater, a scarf, boots, and your coat. You threw your hair into a bun and put on your gloves.

Leo had on a pair of jeans, a shirt, and a jacket.

You both soon arrived at the tree farm and went to one of the workers to grab a saw.

Leo grabbed the saw and you grabbed a cart to carry the tree. You and Leo began your little scavenger hunt.

You wanted a not too expensive tree that was about seven feet tall and pretty.

Leo wanted an eight foot tree that was almost eighty dollars and you refused because you didn't have enough money.

You were cold and shivering because it was snowing. Leo noticed and wrapped his arm around you and pulled you closer.

He gave you a warm kiss on your cheeks to heat them up from the physical reaction called blushing.

He loved it when you blushed.

You saw a tree surrounded by little ones. It looked absolutely perfect and you ran up to it.

You wanted this one.

Leo began to cut it down. It successfully fell onto the cart and Leo hulled it up to the front.

You realized something and stopped. Leo looked at you from behind and gave you a questioning look.

"Leo..."

"What?"

"Was there a price tag on that?"

Leo widened his eyes and checked the tree. Of course with the bad luck you two shared, there was no price tag on it.

"Well, we can always say that the price tag fell off..." Leo mumbled quietly.

"I guess we can just say that."

You and Leo continued your journey up to buy the tree and get it wrapped up.

Timeskip-
The workers believed you because of your charming smile and innocent looks.

Leo finished wrapping the Christmas tree on top of his truck. Hopefully the tree won't fall off.

A blast of cold air met your face as Leo opened and closed the door. He started the truck and you both drove home.

"Where do you want to put the tree?" You asked while grabbing Leo's hand.

"We can put it in the corner of the living room. How about that?"

He glanced at you and you gave him a satisfied smile. You couldn't help but lean over and kiss his cute cheeks.

"Perfect." You whispered.

***
The tree successfully stayed on top of the truck. You opened the door so Leo could get the tree in.

You got the box of Christmas ornaments from the garage and began dealing with that while Leo put up the tree.

After ten minutes, the tree was up and ready to have lights and ornaments on it.

You looked at Leo and smiled. He smirked and opened his arms for a hug. You shook your head and walked into his warm, open arms.

Man, was this going to be the best Christmas season ever.
<><>
Okay, this sucks. There's barely any details. I'm going to make the other three/four one shots tomorrow because it's late and I'm tired.
