An AustiNina Christmas (Austin)

[Deleted]

Nina considered herself a fortunate person. Along with having an amazing boyfriend, she had what could be considered "cool parents". Granted, they were still parents and did things that parents were expected to do, like being cautious around the boyfriend, but they were also willing to meet their daughter halfway.

After a family Christmas Party that Austin was invited to, Peter and Glinda Devoll were about to head to bed before Peter turned to Austin and Nina.

"You two have a nice time, and I'll try to keep Peter Jr. in his room," he said. He then looked at Austin directly. "Midnight." And that was all he needed to say. He liked Austin a lot, but rules were rules when it came to his daughter and dating. He smiled, hugged Nina, and extended his hand to Austin before going to bed. Glinda hugged them both and whispered to Nina.

"Make him a cup of hot chocolate and sit by the fire with him," she said. "It's very romantic." Nina chuckled.

"Night mum, night dad, and thank you," said Nina. Once they were out of the room, Nina attempted to push Austin over to where the mistletoe was hanging.

Austin was having a great time, while it wasn't the first Christmas he spent with a girlfriend's family, it was the first time he wasnt side eyed. He had to admit that some of his thoughts about Nina werent always on the pure side but he never once acted on them out of respect for not only Nina but her parents. Plus he was pretty sure Roxy and Peter J would team up on him in some type of prank tidal wave. Though he finally got alone time with her when her folks went up to bed.

He nodded in consent at her dad, he had until midnight to spend time with his girl. He smirked down at her as he moved backwards towards the mistletoe she was pushing him towards. At least she was straight to the point, it paled in contrast to the to the nervous motor mouth she was during their first meeting. He cared for her...quirks and all but he was skeptical about telling her he loved her. He didn't want to jinx it, he had been hurt so many times before.

Once under the Mistletoe he gave her a surprised, false innocent look
Oh dear, it would seem as if our location has been compromised"

He said as pressed his lips against hers, the hot chocolate could wait, his favorite thing in the world, had to be kissing his girlfriend. Of course he his hands immediately droped to her waist to pull her closer. The present he had brought, a but forgotten.

Nina was very much in the same vote with Austin when it came to the "I love you" thing. She had been hurt by a few guys too in her years at Hogwarts. She felt in her heart that Austin was the right one, the one she just might marry some day. There was so much in common between the two after all. However, the "I love you" part, at least said in the sincerest of ways, would take some time. She did tell Austin she loved him at times, but it was in the same way she told her friends in some sentimental moment.

The kiss was a long, passionate one though. Austin was by far the best kisser out of all her boyfriends. Prior to it she laughed a little at his comment, but said nothing. And afterwards, she was breathless for a moment as well.

"Mmmm... Happy Christmas to me," she finally whispered with a smile. "I'll go make that cocoa." She sneaked in a final brief kiss before heading to the kitchen. A moment later, she returned with the two cups, marshmallows and all and sat down by the fire as her mum suggested.

"I've missed you," she said to him. "A few more months and you and I won't have to wait so long at a time to be together."

Austin snickered at her breathless outburst, he loved her quirkiness it never failed to bring a smile to his face, even when things were bad. Taking the cup of offered chocolate, he pulled his girlfriend into his arms.

So, christmas eve we...my family have this big dinner, its mostly because christmas day is really busy for my uncle and aunt they live in america mostly, would you come over? Meet my family since I've meet yours?"

Even if Austin couldn't tell her he loved her just yet, she would be the first and hopefully the only girl he brought home to his other, of course there was one other situation where he would bring another but things werent that far along.

"True, so what are the plans? Are you moving out straight away or no, I have an extra room in my apartment, that's always open."

Of course when he pictured her moving in, he didn't picture her ever using it but it was nice to offer.

When Austin invited her to Christmas Dinner, Nina raised an eyebrow.

"Bloody hell," she said. "I haven't met your family, have I?" She then thought a moment. "It should work though. My family usually does a big Christmas Eve breakfast as opposed to a dinner." She then kissed him again. "I'd love to meet your family, handsome."

Nina sighed and shrugged about her plans. The idea of living with Austin both delighted and worried her. She had heard negative stories about couples moving in together too soon and the consequences. And she didn't want to lose Austin. He was the best thing that ever happened to her.

"I'll probably live here for a short while," she said. "At least until I see if I can make Pro with the Wasps. If not, I have a few other teams in mind. If I totally bomb out, there's always the Ministry. Living with you does sound lovely, but are you sure you and I could control ourselves?" She said it half jokingly, but only half because it was a concern. Nina was a fun girl who could be wild, but when it came to... certain things, she was a bit more traditional. And she wasn't just referring to Austin's hormones, but hers as well of course.

Austin smiled and kissed her forehead again, she was adorable sometimes. "Cool, my family's extremely nice but there are few nosey people, so just be warned...they don't exactly bite their tongue"

Of course Austin would never press the issue of her moving in with him. He knew that it was a big step and more than willing to wait until she was ready. "Whatever you think is best darling"

He could tell she was worried so he decided they should talk about other things, he remembered the gift he had bought and smiled. "Here, I got your gift, so I just figured you could open early" he said summoning the package and handing it to her.

Nina snickered about the biting their tongue part.

"Pfft... like I bite my own," she said. "I'm all about outspoken people. You forget I'm like the least socially awkward Hufflepuff ever."

Nina then grinned and laughed when Austin said whatever she thought was best.

"My choice, huh?" she said. "I knew I liked you for a reason." She laughed again and kissed him. "Just joking. I love you for a million reasons, my epic Arrow."

She then beamed at the gift he brought to her.

"Awww Austin, you're my gift," she said. "But I can't turn down free stuff. And oh speaking of..." Nina did the same for her gift for Austin, handing it to him. Inside was a golden arrow necklace she found at a Muggle shop in one of her still rare but somewhat more frequent expeditions into that area. "Happy Christmas, Handsome."

(Lemme know what Nina got!!! Hehe!)
