"Officer I promise! We didn't do whatever you think we did!" Prompto had his hands up defensively as he desperately tried to reason with the officer in front you.

It wasn't too late into the evening, but the sun was already setting and darkness was ready to bloom. Christmas lights were on and decorating the houses around you. You and Prompto had been walking down a sidewalk in a suburban area before the snow around you had tempted you to attack each other. You two had just called a truce on your snowball fight when you were approached by this officer. He seemed to be a tired middle aged man, with a scruffy beard.

"That couple says they say you throwing things," the clearly irritated officer huffed pointing a finger back at a house across the street. The couple he was talking about must have retreated back into their home since you couldn't see them.

"Snowballs. We were throwing snowballs," you sighed, not believing that you might get arrested on Christmas Eve.

"If you need proof, just look at us!" Prompto gestured to himself then at you, trying to point out the areas that still had snow residue on them. "Do you think I would do this to make a fashion statement??" Prompto pointed to the snow on his beanie, sounding a little too desperate.

"Look it's not that I don't believe..." The officer was cut off by noises coming from his walkie talkie. He sighed before unclipping it off his belt and bringing it to his ear. "Can you repeat that?" He said into it. You heard more noises come from the walkie talkie, but couldn't make out any words. As the officer listened to it, you shot Prompto a side glance. He was looking back at you with wide eyes, clearly not comfortable with this situation.

"Alight, alright. On my way there," the man said, putting his walkie back on his belt. "Well look like you're free to go."

"Wha- Really?!" Prompto beamed, glad to have this misunderstanding over. You smiled in relief as well, feeling your shoulders relax. The cop had already began sauntering back to car when he replied.

"Yeah, the culprits were seen egging a local gas station," he said before entering his car, then driving off. You and Prompto stood there in silence and watched him drive off.

"Oh my gosh!" Prompto suddenly exclaimed, "We were just about to get arrested! I can't even believe this." He gloved hands were on his head as he tried to process what just happened.

You shook your head, "That was pretty crazy, but Noct would've bailed us out if we did end up behind bars." You hoped that he would at least.

"Yeah, but I still can't believe that happened. I think ... I think I'm gonna faint," he joked as he fake fainted on you.

"Hey!" You were caught off guard when the weight of his body hit you, but still managed to stay standing. You'd be lying if you said you didn't appreciate the sudden extra heat he gave you. He smelled so much like hot chocolate, you were sure he must have bathed in it instead of drinking it.

While holding up his weight, you thought for second of tossing him off of you into the snow. Before you could though, he brought his phone up. With the front facing camera on the two of you, he exclaimed, "Say cheese!" Not giving you any time to react, he snapped the picture. You were sure you had a confused or surprised expression in the picture, but gave it no mind since he always did that to you.

"Alright, alright, get off me," You pushed him off of leaning on you, before shaking your head. "How bad does your day have to be to end up egging houses on Christmas Eve?" You felt bad for whoever had their houses egged and even for the cop who had to look for the punks. Though, you were really glad it wasn't your problem anymore.

"Dunno, pretty bad," Prompto mused looking down at his phone. "Ha, this one came out great!" He gushed over the photo and you shot him a skeptical glare. He always said that even when you thought you looked funny in the pictures.

Ignoring your glare he grabbed you hand and started to pull you along, "Come on, Noct and the others must be wandering where we are."

You were a little surprised that he grabbed your hand, but still you let him pull you along, readjusting your hand in his so that you were more comfortable. You never held his hand before; it felt nice, even though there was no actual human contact since your both wearing gloves. You were kind of glad that was the case, since you didn't have to worry about having sweaty hands. You two walked in the light snowfall, letting a pleasant silence settle between you. You glanced at the decorated houses as you passed them by. At some point Prompto started humming the tunes to Christmas songs. Unable to resist, you started to sing the words to the songs, only stopping to laugh when you messed up. Prompto tried to be your backup singer, but occasionally outshined you by singing too loud which caused you both to laugh. You reached Noctis's house in what felt like no time.

Once there you finally separated hands with Prompto as he began to knock on the door. "Noct, noct, Open up!"

"Its freezing out here!" You added shuddering into yourself.

"Well look who decided to show up," you heard Gladio's muffled, deep voice through the door. You heard the sound of the door unlocking, followed by "Its open!"

Prompto opened the door for you and let you walk through first, following close behind. The immediate warmth of the house was highly appreciated by the both of you. Prompto closed the front door as you both stood near the doorway.

"I really hope you have hot chocolate ready," you mused as you took your coat off and Prompto tried shaking off some excess snow.

"Oh yess please" Prompt added.

From his spot on the sofa Noctis let out a small chuckle, "Yeah there some in the kitchen, but don't expect me to bring it to you though." He stretched as he readjusted himself to get more comfortable on his couch.

"I'll get it. As it were, I was just about to serve myself another cup." Ignis stood up, leaving for the kitchen.

"Though don't get too comfortable, aren't you forgetting something?" Gladio grinned at you two. Neither of you knew what he was talking about and stood there confused.

"What you mean?" you asked after thinking about it and not figuring it out. To this he simple pointed up. Both you and Prompto followed his finger to the ceiling and saw it. The small branch of mistletoe that was taped to the ceiling. You froze with your eyes wide. You heard Prompto let out a surprised gasp.

"Don't say I never did anything for you," Gladio chuckled as took a seat on the sofa, never taking his eyes off the two of you.

"For what its worth I told him not to do it," Noctis commented, though he was also watching you two curiously.

Prompto turned to you with a blushing face, "{N-name}, if you don't want to, we don't have to.. I mean its only a plant, but its like a Christmas tradition,... I mean that doesn't matter if you're not comfortable-" He rambled not being able to look you in the eye.

Meanwhile you took a deep breath, clenched your fist, looked right in the eyes and said, "Prompto."

He immediately stopped talking and stared back at you. You grabbed the collar of his jacket and leaned in, kissing him, using all your determination not to pass out. The kiss was hard and honestly not very good, but still you felt you heart and stomach do backflips. You could heard Gladio cheer you on, while you pulled back. You stared at Prompto with a blushing face, waiting for him to say something.

"...wow," he smiled with a dazed expression. "That was awesome," he smiled, no longer embarrassed. You grinned at his reaction.

"Yes well, as impressed as I am, I don't plan on holding this forever," Ignis's voice brought you back to reality and you saw him standing there, trying to hold three mugs of hot chocolate. You took you cup from him, as did Prompto. Neither of you could take the goofy grins off your faces.
