Tom Holland Imagines

Christmas special #7: Christmas Movie Marathon

A/N: This is so late but at least I posted today!! I'll try to catch up tomorrow or at least on the weekend!! 

You love Mondays. It's a fresh start to a new week. To you Mondays feel like hope and possibilities. Today though you wake up with a headache from all the mulled wine and sweet candy you had last night.

Anyways, you get straight out of bed and make yourself a coffee. Once you finished that as well as a whole bottle of water, you put on your gym clothes, turn your tv on and do a couple workout videos. After that you get ready for the day and leave for uni. Your lectures today are fine. You get so distracted that even your headache seems gone for a while. Once you have a break with y/f/n though and she asks you all about last night, it's back. Of course, you tell her, however you leave out the bit where the boys were talking about you.

"So what's next on your pact?", she asks.

You shrug and tell her that you've not made any plans.

"Yet", she argues.

"Well, I don't know, technically we didn't agree to do something every single day. That just kinda happened over the last week."

"So? You want to spend time with him right? Yesterday he called you, I think you should suggest something today."

You're really not sure. You know he can't find you annoying. Whilst that was your fear all along it would be really stupid of you to still think that. But still you don't know for sure what he thinks of you. What you are. What this whole thing is supposed to be.

She's gorgeous, but...

Sounds like he finds you attractive BUT not attractive enough to date? You're pretty BUT all he wants, if anything, is a solid friendship. Some fun maybe. Distraction over the holidays because he'd be bored otherwise.

So many possibilities.

"Show me that list of yours", y/f/n says. You get out your phone and show it to her.

"Okay so the weather isn't really good today plus we have uni until 5. I Think", she wiggles her eyebrows at you, "that calls for the Christmas movie marathon."

You can't help but laugh at her. "I hate you", you say.

She smiles widely. "I know."

Throughout the whole day though you contemplate asking Tom to come over at night. Before you can decide what to do, you get a text from him. You catch yourself smiling at the notification.

What are we doing today?

Suddenly you think of what your dad used to say to you.

"No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount anxiety can change the future."

Thought you could come over to my place and we'll watch some Christmas movies?

Immediately after you get an answer.

Christmas movie marathon it is then. I'll bring some stuff so we can make pizzas?

You agree. What an amazing idea. You're already getting hungry.

The second the doorbell rings you get extremely excited. Ever since you'd agreed to meet tonight you couldn't wait to see Tom again. When you open the door and he greets you with a hug and a big smile your heart warms.

"Hey."
"Hi."

You let him in and he puts the bags down on your kitchen counter.

"You ready to start?", he asks and you nod eagerly.

"I'm so incredibly hungry!"

Whilst you make the pizzas you talk about each others day. Tom asks more about your uni classes and you get all excited as you tell him about why you love what you study so much.

Every now and then you catch Tom stopping what he's doing and just looking at you.

"Hey the tomatoes don't cut themselves", you point your knife at him and he's startled.

"Uh yeah sure", he says an you can tell he's embarrassed.

Finally, you can put both your pizzas in the oven. Whilst it cooks you both clean up and once you're finished the pizzas are finished too.

"I am so excited for this", you exclaim as you sit down on the couch, your pizzas on your laps. You quickly decide on which movie to watch first before you dive into the food.

Two movies later the pizzas are gone and you've both put your feet up on the coffee table so you're practically lying next to each other. Your eyes are already getting heavy and without thinking about it, you lean your head onto Tom's shoulder. Once you realize what you just did you freeze. But Tom just takes the blanket next to him and wraps it around both of you. You immediately relax, however your heart's still pounding like crazy. When just a second ago you felt like falling asleep you're far from it now. This moment was way too perfect to miss it.

That's when you realize it.

You like him.

No matter what he thinks of you.

No matter what the BUT meant yesterday.

You like him a lot.
