It was two days before Christmas and like always I was spending it alone. I use to spend Christmas with my best friend, but a month ago he became one of Gotham's greatest criminals and got himself thrown into Arkham.
"Hey (y/n), Got any plans for Christmas?" Ed asked with a smile.
"Spending it alone." I said sipping my coffee.
"You could come to my place." He said with a smile.
"Sorry Ed, but I'm happy spending it alone..... Christmas just isn't my holiday." I said walking out of the cafe.
I made it home and let out a sigh as I set down and turned the tv on. I flipped through the channels for awhile before turning the tv off and going to lay down. When I woke up it was to the sound of my door shutting. I set up and walked into my living room and looked around.
"Must have been my imagination." I said as I turned around to go back to my room.
I gasped as I came face to face with my childhood best friend.
"Jerome!" I exclaimed as he smiled down at me.
"Hey doll. It's been awhile." He said with a smile.
"Your here..... how?" I whispered as I looked him over.
"You didn't really think I'd miss Christmas with my best friend did you?" He asked with a laugh.
I smiled up at him as he pulled me into a hug.
"I missed you." I said hugging him.
"Don't worry. This time I'm not going anywhere." He said with a laugh.
I placed my head on his chest and let out a sigh as I closed my eyes and breathed in his sent. I looked up at him and smiled softly.
"Now let's get this place decorated!" He exclaimed as he left me in the living room.
When he came back he had all of our decorations. I smiled as we started to decorate and after awhile everything was decorated. I smiled as Jerome hugged me and nuzzled his face into my neck.
"God I missed you." He whispered as he hugged me tighter.
"Missed you too J." I said turning in his arms.
I heard him chuckle as he looked up. My eyes followed his and a blush quickly appeared.
"Mistletoe. Know what that means?" He asked with a wink.
"We have to kiss?" I asked innocently.
He laughed as he leaned down and gently kissed me. I sighed happily as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. After a few seconds we pulled apart and I smiled softly.
"Jerome.... what are we?" I asked after he pulled away.
"Best friends." He said looking at me.
"Are best friends suppose to kiss like that?" I asked walking up to him.
"What do you want me to say?" He asked softly.
"I don't know. Tell me the truth. How do you really feel about me?" I asked stopping in front of him.
He looked down at me for a few seconds before a small smile appeared on his face. He walked over to the mistletoe and grabbed it and then put it over both of our heads.
"This is what I feel for you." He said pulling me back into a kiss.
I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
"I love you (y/n)." He whispered as he pressed his forehead against mine.
"I love you too Jerome." I whispered quietly.
