What Happens In Vegas...

Luke's P.O.V.
It's been a month since the whole Disney fiasco, now we're back home, but I'm only home with Dani... Who I don't get to see as often as I'd like. It almost feels like my best friend is slipping away. Christmas is just around the corner, but what do I get Dani? There is nothing in the world that expresses my gratitude for her.
"Earth to Lucas." Mikey spoke.
"Sorry, lost in thought." I replied.
"I can see. We're in the middle of writing a song, yet I feel that's not what you're thinking about."
"I don't know what to get Dani for Christmas and it's right around the corner."
"I'm buying Raegan our honeymoon."
"Honeymoon? We start tour two weeks to the day after my wedding, which you're both attending, soooooo...." I trailed off.
"When it comes down to it, if we leave directly after you and Dani on your wedding day, we have a week and a half before travel and rehearsals." Mikey stated.
"Can I steal that idea? Dani would love it. She didn't think we'd ever get a honeymoon."
"Only if you agree to help start writing. And mate... pick the correct destination. You know how those two get."
"That's it!" Ashton jumped.
"Destination... Permanent vacation!"
After that the song flowed out of each of us through hums, more lyrics, and guitar strums.

Dani's P.O.V.
"What the hell do I get Luke for Christmas?" I grumbled.
"I'm getting Mikey lingerie and a photo shoot so he can enjoy me on the road." Rae smirked.
"You slut!" I laughed.
"Oh hush! I'm also getting him a year of pizza."
"So Mikey." I chuckled, "That doesn't help me though."
"Do the photo shoot with me!" Rae jumped, I gave her the, with you?, look. "Oh, god! No! Not like that." she laughed.
"Hmm. Maybe." I blushed, "That still leaves one present to give him."
"It'll come to you." Rae smiled, before leaving the couch.
Will it? I asked myself before my phone buzzed.
Luke: Hey, pretty lady! Dinner tonight?
Dani: I dunno... My husband might come home.
Luke: I guess I should take you out then ;) What do you say?
I blushed at my phone.
Dani: It's a date.
Luke: See you at 7!
I jumped off the couch and went for the shower.
*****
7 o'clock rolled faster than I expected. I finished lightly curling my hair when I heard a knock on the door.
"You know you live here right?" I chuckled at Luke who was hiding behind roses.
"You really have to stop mistaking me for your husband." he joked.
"Right, so sorry. It was the roses." I smiled.
He kissed me softly, handing the roses over.
"Ready to go, love?"
"Ready!" I smiled, taking his hand and following him to the car.
We soon pulled up to the View House. A beautiful restaurant on the side of a hill overlooking the city.
"How many tonight?" the hostess asked.
"Two, please sir." Luke smiled, squeezing my hand.
I smiled at him, following him to the table.
We were seated on the patio with a light breeze and under the heaters. You would think that was a bad idea in Colorado, in the winter, but it was amazing. Seeing Luke after so long was amazing too. We caught up on every little detail. I finally have my best friend back.
"So how was today?" I asked, taking a bite of food.
"Great! We have a new song." Luke's smile could light up a room.
"That's great! When do I get to hear?"
"Maybe Christmas, maybe." he smirked.
"Ugh!" I laughed.
"Oh! My favorite guitar is no more." his smile dropped.
"What happened?"
"I got way too excited when we got into the song. Some strings busted, and some notches were lost..."
"I'm so sorry."
"Will you have a new one for the tour?"
"I'm sure... Not one that will mean something like that one did. My mum bought it for me when I was 14. It's been there through it all."
I saw the sadness in his face, and immediately knew what I was getting him for Christmas.
"Oh, look at that." Luke smiled, pointing to the mistletoe above us.
"Hmmm. I guess that I means we should kiss." I blushed.
We both leaned over the table into each others lips.
God, I missed this.

*Christmas Day*
I woke up to a very excited Luke... Ashton.. .Michael... Calum... And a sleeping Rae next to me.
"Rae." I groaned.
"No." she replied, covering her head with our covers.
"It's Christmas!" The boys yelled.
"Fine!" we yelled back, pulling ourselves out of bed.
Lucky for the boys they had made coffee. We all sat in front of the tree, full of presents.
My heart was racing waiting for Luke to get his present.

Luke's P.O.V.
My heart was pounding, everyone had exchanged presents , but Rae nor Dani have gotten to the plane tickets. My palms were sweaty and I could barely focus.
"Breathe, mate." Mikey whispered.
"Dani... Rae.. Here you go." Ashton spoke, he's been handing out presents the entire time, bad idea since he had a lot for himself.
"Open them at the same time?" Dani asked Rae.
"Deal." Rae smiled.
The wrapping paper coming off the boxes we set them in went in slow motion it felt like.
"Oh. My. God." They both responded.
"Fiji?!" Rae squealed.
"Dublin?!" Dani screeched.
Dani jumped into my arms, "I love you so much!" she hugged tighter.
"I love you too. Is that an okay destination.?"
"Perfect!" she smiled, that beautiful smile.
"Mikey, here's yours." Ashton spoke, handing him Rae's envelope.
"PIZZA!" Mikey jumped... like a kid on Christmas morning. "You're the best babe!" he smiled, kissing her playfully all over.
"And Lucas." Ashton spoke again, handing me a very large, heavy box.
I gave Dani the, how much did you spend on me, look. She just smiled, "Go on." she spoke.
I slowly pulled away at the paper until I saw what it was.
"A box." I joked.
"read the note!" Dani shouted.
I had help from the boys, and from a very nice mother-in-law I can't wait to meet. I know it's not the original, nor do I expect it to be as special, but I hope it's perfect. Merry Christmas.
I pulled the guitar out of the box, then out of the case. It was an exact replica of the one I had broken a few days ago.
"You.. How?" I stuttered.
"The boys helped me get in touch with your mom, she gave me the information on the shop she bought it from, it took some convincing that I was really your wife, and not a stalker, andddddd they expedited the shipping. OH! And it's not the exact same. I added a special touch to the back."
I turned the guitar over 'First Christmas' and a mistletoe.
"It is perfect." I gently set it down, and kissed her like never before.
"Hemmo, let's test this bad boy out." Calum spoke.
"Take it away Mikey." I spoke, grabbing my amp and plugging in the new guitar.
"Frustration, desperation
You say I need some kind of medication
Situation: no motivation
Destination: permanent vacation
Hey, I'm doing fine
And I know I'm out of line
So let's sing this one more time
It goes
Destination: permanent vacation
Na-na, na-na na na"

Best Christmas yet.

"Hey, Luke." Dani smiled, as everyone settled in for dinner later that night. She stood in the arch between the kitchen and dining room, holding a mistletoe above her.
"Merry Christmas." She smiled, crashing her lips into mine.
"Merry Christmas." I smiled, leaning my forehead to hers.
"Here's one more present... A preview for tonight... And for the road, every time you miss me." She winked, stepping into the dining room.
I carefully slid the photos out of the package, "Oh my" I mumble to myself, turning to see her wink again.
Dinner just became ten times more uncomfortable... Kind of like my jeans.
