It was Christmas Eve, and a light snow blanketed New York as it bustled in joy for the upcoming holiday. It's been over a year since you and Gambit started living together and it was your first time spending Christmas together since you both were alway busy with X-men business. You two lived together in a small apartment which was good enough since you both didn't have much luggage.
"Gambit, wake up!" You exclaimed nudging the Cajun as he slept frivolously,"you said we were gonna go shopping today!" Gambit rolled over, turning away from you while mumbling something which you presumed to be French.
"<just five more minutes..>" he mumbled.
"No, now!" You shook him furiously until he sat up.
"Goodness girl, can't a man get some sleep in 'ere." He rubbed his eyes shaking off the sleep.
"You've been sleep all day," you scowled resting your arms on his leg, "You were up all night dealing with X-men ordeals."
"Oh, right. I remember now. Sorry darling, I'm just a lil' hazy, just woke up." He kissed your forehead as he got up from the bed and you realized he still had his uniform on.
"You can't go out in that! You have to put on something casual and not screaming 'hey world, I'm a mutant!'" The Cajun looked at his get up and considered what you said.
"Ok, I'll change."
"Whoop!" You exclaimed, throwing your arms up.
"But," he lifted a finger to silence your cheering.
"Awwwwww" You threw your arms back down in disappointment. Of course he wasn't going to let you off easy.
"We both have to go shopping separately ." He noted watching your face change.
"Separately?!" You shouted "you said we'll go together!" You whined but tried not to look more sad then you were angry.
"I know darling," he caressed your hair while looking into your eyes," if we go together we'll know what we are getting each other and that's no fun." Gambit had a point. If they did shop together they would know exactly what they were getting. But you wanted to spend Christmas shopping with him. Together.
"But Gamby~" you buried your head into his chest and nuzzled him like a little animal whining. Gambit chuckled as he petted the domesticated [f/n]
"No buts darling. That's how we'll roll and I promise..." your head was lifted up to meet his sincere red on black eyes, "...we'll spend everyday after today together."
"Hip to hip?" Your bottom lip quivering
"Only if you don't sashay. " he smiled that smile that made you feel butterflies inside.
"Promise" giggling you wrapped your arms around his neck.
