The pair had made plans to get together at Juliet’s place on Christmas Eve. It was the only time they had between all of the family things that were going to be happening with the holidays. Shopping for Juliet had gone so much easier for Raziel than shopping for anyone else in his family. He had her gift tucked away safely in a dresser drawer weeks before the actual day. It was even wrapped in beautiful silver wrapping that reflected the colors of the room. The long necklace box held inside a beautiful bloodstone that would help heighten her psychic abilities, while also grounding her. The stone was used for centering and grounding, his grandmother had taught him that it vibrated at the frequency of the root chakra. He had hopes that it would help her find more control over her powers, potentially magnify them.

Raziel was so excited to give her the necklace, but he knew he had to wait until after dinner. They had the whole night ahead of them, and so he kept the silver package tucked neatly away inside his expandable jean pocket. The white sweater was pulled over that, with his favorite winter jacket. He apparated to the spot just inside her front door, where he slid out of his shoes, and deposited his jacket. It was only then that he stepped further into the main room, his smile bright. “Juliet?” he called out, announcing himself.

He stood there with a bottle of wine in one hand, and a plate of cookies from his mother in the other. “I hope you don’t mind, mum sent a gift along. Her favorite cookies, Christmas Nankhatai cookies,” he said, while holding the plate aloft for her to see. The beautiful green and red spiraled cookies were a favorite in the family. His grandmother had always made them.

Merlin, she looked beautiful as always. When she leaned in for that light kiss, his arm slipped around her waist to pull her in closer, being careful of the plate that she now held. "You look delicious," he quipped, unable to keep the comment to himself. "The leggings looked like candy," he said softly, giving her a playful eyebrow waggle, before kissing her properly. No quick light pecks, he'd missed seeing her the past few days. The days leading up to the holidays had seen the shop busy between selling gift cards and people getting tattooed. Business was booming.

It was only then that he let her go, loosening the arm around her waist. "I can grab us some glasses for the wine," he proposed, the wine that he'd been holding in his free hand was brought back up to show her. "Then we can exchange gifts?" he said, curious eyes glancing at the canvas she had set down just moments before. What was it? Where would he put it? He couldn't contain his excitement, she had quickly become his favorite artist.

	Her cheeks blazed, and she pulled her lower lip between her teeth as she considered whether or not to tell him. "I'd never experienced it at all before," she finally admitted, feeling far younger than her twenty-one years and hoping he wouldn't be put off by it. He certainly hadn't seemed to have been disappointed by her participation in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was surprised, which unfortunately he knew was likely clear on his face. He had never been terribly good with poker. But he looked happy, no trace of any ill feelings. He pressed a kiss to her lips. "I'd have never known," he admitted softly, nudging his nose gently against hers. "You're beautiful," he whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent)
