Day Eleven
Title: Music
Summary: Lloyd and Nya listen to Christmas music

"What a nice way, to spend the year."

Lloyd holds Nya in his arms and spins around with her, making her squeal and grip his upper arms. Lloyd smirks and sets her down again.

"No," Nya whines, raising her arms to Lloyd.

Lloyd chuckles and holds her in his arms again. Nya snuggles into his chest and clutches his shirt.

"Can we put a different song on?" Nya asks, her voice muffled in Lloyd's hoodie.

"Sure, which song?"

"Underneath the Tree?"

Lloyd unlocks his phone and finds the song, hitting play.

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

Tonight
I'm gonna hold you close
Make sure that you know
I was lost before you
Christmas was cold and grey
Another holiday alone to celebrate
But then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

I found what I was looking for
A love that's meant for me
A heart that's mine completely
Knocked me right off my feet
And this year I will fall
With no worries at all
'Cause you are near and everything's clear
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

And then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree
Tonight

By the end of the song, Nya is curled up on Lloyd's lap, leaning against his chest and griping his hand.

"Hey, I'll never leave you alone...especially at Christmas."

"Promise?" Nya nearly whimpers, not wanting to be alone.

"I promise," Lloyd leans down and kisses her.

Using song lyrics to make a chapter longer? Yep. Using my new favourite Christmas song? Yep. Hope you're all staying safe and well.
