Violentine- Forever and Always

Just Say Yes

Summary: All Clementine wants for Christmas is for Violet to say yes.

"Please just tell me!" Violet was practically begging at this point.

Clem chuckled at her childish pleas. "I already told you, Vi." Then she went back to work on plating the cookies the two of them and the kids had made for the Christmas party they were throwing with all their friends.

Violet huffed from her place at the kitchen table. "That's not an answer."

"It is. You asked and I answered." Clem explained to her girlfriend.

Violet groaned again at the lack of an answer. She loved Clementine, yes, but sometimes her stubbornness got under Violet's skin. "Please Clem, just tell me what you want!"

Clem didn't bother to look up as she replied. "I already told you, Vi. All I want for Christmas is for you to say yes."

"But say 'yes' to what?" This was driving Violet insane.

Clem smirked, "You'll Know when the time comes." Was all she said.

Violet sat back in her chair defeated. She knew she wouldn't get anything else out of Clem no matter how she pleaded. Just then she felt a vibration emit from her hoodie pocket. She checked her phone and saw she had gotten a text. "Louis and Brody are here." She said as she rose from her seat, pocketing her phone again.

"Alright, I'll see you when you get home. Have fun!" Clem told her before she reached the door.

Violet rolled her eyes. "Not so sure about that last part." Then she was out the door.

Violet walked the crowded halls of the mall deep in thought, her hands tucked into her pockets. Louis and Brody on either side of her, arms loaded with bags of Christmas gifts for tomorrow night.

She had been absent from most of the conversations, too lost in thought about her problem at hand.

"What's with you Vi? You've barely said a word the whole time we've been here." Came Brody's voice, noting how silent the blond had been.

Violet sighed. "Nothing." Was her simple reply.

"Come on Vi..." Came the cheery voice of Louis. He turned to face her and started walking backwards despite the numerous amount of people around. "You need to turn that frown upside down. Christmas is like two days away!"

Something seemed to click for Brody. "You haven't bought anything yet. You worried about getting the right gift for Clem?"

Violet groaned in response. "That's just it. I don't know what to get her!"

"Well, what'd she ask for?" Came the redhead's reply.

"For me to say 'yes'." Came her unenthusiastic voice.

Louis made a face at that. "What the hell does that mean?"

Violet shrugged. "Your guess is as good as mine."

Brody thought about it for a minute. "Maybe it's just her way of saying she doesn't want anything?"

"But I can't just not, get her anything. This is Clementine we're talking about. If anyone deserves something special for Christmas it's her." The stress of not knowing was killing Violet. Clementine was the most selfless and caring person Violet had ever met. She was always so willing to help others in need and always thought of herself last.

She had wanted to get something special for the person she cared for the most in her life, but she couldn't think of what. They had specifically gone on this trip together to pick out gifts for their remaining friends. And she was leaving the store empty handed yet again. She had already bought something for everyone else, Clementine was the last one on her list. But there wasn't anything Clem needed or didn't already have, and whenever she asked the girl in the baseball cap what she wanted she always replied with the same answer, for her to say yes. No matter how many times Violet thought about it she still couldn't decipher what it meant. Say yes to what? She had even resorted to asking Tenn and AJ if they knew anything, but both boys were as clueless as she was.
