It was the holidays and I could finally spend it with Snow. Oh, how I longed to be there with him, near the tree unwrapping presents- under the mistletoe, too.

I walk up to the apartment, bags in hand, and barely manage to reach the doorbell.

~ring~

It was almost unreal. I was spending Christmas with Simon Snow- and of course, Penelope Bunce.

The door opens and Bunce is standing there in a purple jumper, talking to someone on the phone. She motions for me to come in and directs me towards the tree.

She palms her phone, "Help him." She goes back to her call.

Did she actually put him in-charge of decorating the tree?! What was she thinking?

I look over at the huge flurry of green and tinsel and glitter and oh, Crowley- Snow's probably choking.

"What happened here?!" 

"I swallowed-" he coughs again, barely completing his sentence, "- some of the glitter."

I stare at him in utter disbelief. 

"But I'm fine now!" He gives out a few more glittery coughs before drinking water and finally calming down. 

Bunce runs out from her room- still on the phone, "Was someone choking in here?!"

We both look towards Snow who just bows his head and laughs.

"Please, just decorate the tree, that's all the help I need from you guys." Bunce rushes back into her room.

"What's wrong with her?" I ask while putting up tiny faux snowflakes.

"Her mother's upset that she isn't spending Christmas back home. Especially since she hasn't been there since a few months now."

"Oh," I rip open a packet of silver and golden balls.

"Merry Christmas." Snow reaches out for my face and I lean in too.

He is warm, as always, and I can't help but let him wrap around me. This is exactly what seven years of pining have led to. This is what I wanted all along. A genuine hug and a warm kiss for the holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Simon Snow.

I'm really trying to take that slow and write something good.
