Under The Mistletoe

My toes flexed instinctively inside my shoes, begging for the slightest friction to create some sort of warmth. Snow fell lazily from the gloomy sky, peppering the tops of my boots. I shivered against the cold, tucking my jacket tighter around my body - it wouldn't matter, the cold was an incessant snake that slithered its way in regardless. I could feel it in my bones.

A puff of steam billowed out from between my lips as I let go a soft sigh. What was he doing? I wondered for the millionth time. I would have been tapping my toe out of irritation, but I was afraid they might break off if I did, instead I waited, frustration building.

"Ready?" Jasper appeared out of nowhere before me, goofy grin resting brightly on his lips. I couldn't help but reflect his expression - his happiness was so damn contagious.

"I've been ready, and nearly turned into an icicle waiting for your slow ass," I whined, fighting back my smile.

"Sorry darlin, I forgot my hat."

"Hat? What the hell Jazz, you had me freezing to death for a hat?!"

He smirked, a flicker of mischief licking at his cold, blue eyes. "Not just any hat baby girl," he drawled out laying his southern twang on thick.

Turning with a huff, I stomped toward the car, regretting it immediately as the pain shot through my nearly numb foot and up my shin. Because I was stubborn, and proud I flinched only slightly, and kept walking. Only my limp must have been obvious because suddenly the earth tilted, and I was met with the sky, Jasper's arms wrapped tightly around me as he cradled me there.

"Put me down Jazz," I rolled my eyes, turning to him. A laugh bubbling up as soon as I caught sight of his face. Or his head rather, sitting proudly a top his golden mop of hair was the ugliest green and red elf hat I had ever seen. "What the hell is that?" I giggled.

"My special hat."

"And what's so special about it? Unless if by special you mean it has to ride the short bus to school..."

He smiled softly, bringing his hand up and flipping the point of the hat over his forehead. A small green bundle tied to the tip of the hat hung just above our heads and I recognized it immediately. Mistletoe. I smiled back at him and his silly face, his twinkling eyes.

"If you wanted a kiss Jazz all you had to do was ask," I chuckled.   Leaning in, I placed a warm kiss against his lips, deciding I didn't mind the hat too much.
