Who? Emma and Tim
When? Christmas Eve night
Where? Emma's flat
What? Christmas celebrating
Rating? TBD

Emma's tree was lit and she was lighting a few candles around her flat. It was late Christmas Eve and Tim was coming over for the night and she wanted things to be nice. There was gifts under the tree and there was a plate of homemade cookies (from the deli, not made by Emma!) and a steaming pot of hot chocolate staying hot with charms on tray on her coffee table. It was very homey and Christmasy, she thought. At the knock at the door, she checked on her hair in the mirror, straightened her red velvet dress before she opened the door. "Hi," she smiled up at Tim.

	Tim broke into a grin as he looked down at her. He was dressed nicely under his thick, winter cloak--a button-down shirt, sweatervest, slacks and jacket. He had a scarf and hat on, too. A grin crossed his features at the sight of her. She looked beautiful. "Merry Christmas, Emma." He said, leaning in to steal a kiss straight away. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Happy Christmas," she beamed, returning the soft kiss. "I'm so glad you're here. Come in, come in; it's so cold. There's a fire going that I conjured up and I have cookies and hot cocoa," she smiled, offering to take his jacket, scarf and hat. "Is it snowing? I would love to be snowed in on Christmas," she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim stepped through the doorway and shed his cloak. He passed over his jacket, scarf and hat, too. "No, not snowing at the moment." He said, rolling up his sleeves a little. It was very warm and cozy inside. "We can pretend." He added, grinning a little. His tail hung limply behind him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She hung his things inside the closet, then walked over to him. "I guess we don't need an excuse to spend the day cuddled up in bed," she beamed up at him.

Emma draped her arms around his waist, smiling up at him. "Thank you, again, for nursing me back to health. I would have hated to be sick over Christmas," she said. "I would hate for that," she gestured above their heads, "to go to waste," she smiled, gesturing to mistletoe.

"No, we don't." Tim was so glad that they'd gotten past their argument, though there was still something nagging at the back of his mind. He'd have to talk to her about it today. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her close.

"Oh?" He looked up above him and broke into a smirk at the mistletoe.

"You know, Mistletoe are supposed to be filled with nargles." He said, turning his attention back down to her.

	Emma stared up at him with a perplexed expression. "What in Merlin's name is a nargle?" she asked, peering up at her mistletoe. "I just wanted kiss you under the mistletoe... it's tradition," she smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're really mischievous..." Tim shook his head. "It doesn't matter." He leaned in to kiss her, following her instructions to do so. Who was he to go against tradition, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-22 01:39 am UTC (link)
	She laughed softly, pulling him closer to her as he kissed her. "Mmmm.... Merry Christmas," she smiled as she pulled back. "Are you hungry? I promise I didn't bake any of it," she laughed softly, walking with him over to the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-22 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Tim gave a gentle chuckle, pulling her even closer to kiss her again. "I'm starving." He let go of her as she pulled back, and followed her to the sofa. "What'd you get? Do we have actual dinner, or just cookies?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, no, dinner is in the kitchen staying hot - again, I didn't cook," she promised him, "and I just set this all up in here because I wanted to be festive," Emma grinned. "These are all fancy Christmas cookies and there's a roast in the kitchen," she said, sitting beside him on the couch. "Are you hungry for dinner? Because we can do that... or whatever. No formal plan."

	"I'm not hungry yet, just checking." He hadn't been hungry now that Marcus had moved in. There seemed to always be food around, so long as Tim did the laundry. "It's very festive." He added, turning to press a kiss to the side of her head. "When do we exchange presents?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-23 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Emma leaned closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder when he kissed her. Presents, Emma like presents, she smiled to herself. "Well, if you've been a good boy, then I have a present for you," she smiled up at him. "Do you want your gifts?" she asked, gesturing to the Christmas tree. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-23 03:14 am UTC (link)
	"Gifts? More than one?" Tim asked, pulling a small box from his pocket. It was long and thin, almost like a wand box, only shorter, and wrapped in gold wrapping paper. He held it out to her. "I only got you one thing." A beautiful, silver necklace was inside the box. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-23 11:51 am UTC (link)
	Emma smiled. "Don't worry. One is your gift and one is something we can share," she told him, taking the box from him. She pulled off the wrapping and admired the necklace with a bright smile. "Oh, Tim, it's so pretty," she grinned up at him. "Thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-23 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	"You like it? I wasn't sure if I should get silver or gold." Tim said, nervous he hadn't gotten the right thing for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-23 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, no I just love it," she smiled, runnng her fingers over the delicate hearts. "Thank you," Emma said, leaning over to kiss him sweetly. "Can you put it on me? It will look pretty with my dress," she told him, pulling it out of the box before she turned away from him, pulling her hair off her neck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-24 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	Tim returned the kiss, very gently. "Of course." He accepted the necklace then delicately wrapped it around her neck and fastened it in the back. His fingertips trailed along her skin and he leaned down to plant a kiss against the back of her neck before pulling away again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-24 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Emma let out a soft sigh when he kissed her neck, touching the heart that lay against her neck. "Thank you," she smiled when she turned back to him. Emma summoned his gift and it floated over into his lap. It was long box, wrapped in deep crimson wrapping with an ornate bow. "I hope you like it," she smiled. Inside the box was a handsome black wool pea coat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tim opened the present, and gave a bright smile and soft laugh at the present. "I love it!" He said, lifting it and opening it up to slip his arms into the sleeves. "I was just telling Marcus how much I needed a new coat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-27 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, good!" she grinned, clapping her hands together, admiring how he looked in the jacket. "Took awhile to find something I thought would look good, and it looks like the search paid off. You look great," Emma beamed, standing up to straighten the collar on the jacket. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-27 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Tim stood and tugged on the jacket, enjoying himself very much. He stepped half-way across the room and turned around so she could get a good look at him. "It's magnificent." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-27 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Emma nodded in approval. "I'm glad you like it," she said sincerely. She crossed the room toward him, holding her arms out so she could hold him. "Happy Christmas," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist, tucking herself inside his jacket as she rested her head on his chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-27 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Happy Christmas, Em." Tim said, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. "I think I'm getting hungry now," he added softly, kissing the top of her head. "Are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"There is a roast in the oven, grilled veggies, mashed potatoes and a fabulous wine breathing on the counter," she told him, taking his hand as they walked into the kitchen.

Emma knew that eventually they would have to talk some things out and she wondered if they would have to get so serious on Christmas. "Sit, and I will serve," she grinned, pouring him a glass of red wine.

	Tim stripped the coat off as they headed into the kitchen, and draped it over the back of a chair. He rolled up his sleeves as he headed into the kitchen to help her. "No, let me help." He said, stepping up next to her. "Dishing out food's something I can do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-27 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	Emma handed him the glass and gently pushed him away. "No," she laughed, "I did not cook, so you have to let me pretend I did something," she laughed, playfully trying to push him out of her kitchen. "You are persistant, Tim... I will give you that," she laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-28 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, okay." He said, grinning softly, and turned to sit down at the table. "All right. Is it bad that I like watching you in the kitchen?" He asked, playfully, leaning back in his chair a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-28 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Emma grinned over her shoulder at him as she dished out dinner. "What? You like the idea of me in the kitchen? Should I put on an apron so we can play house?" she teased with a grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-28 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Would you?" He asked, mock-excited. It was playful, and he was grinning as he lifted the wine glass for a sip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-28 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Emma arched an eyebrow, waving a spoon at him. "You'd just better eat what is served to you, or you'll pay later," she teased right back, passing him a plate. Emma smirked as she fixed her own plate. "Maybe if you're good and we play house again... I'll wear just an apron.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-29 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Tim gave a soft chuckle, accepting the plate. "All right, all right, I'll behave." He grinned softly, setting the plate down in front of him. "With incentive like that, how could I not?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-29 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	Emma laughed with him, walking over to sit across from him with her dinner and a glass of wine. "Happy Christmas," she smiled, clinking her glass with his. "Enjoy," she insisted, cutting into her meat. "So... what's going on with you?" she asked casually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-29 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	Tim shrugged softly. "Nothing new, besides that it's Christmas." He said. "What about you?" He asked, digging into his food. It was very good, and he hadn't known how hungry he really was until there was a plate of food in front of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-12-29 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Emma had to admit that it was pretty good, though she didn't make it herself. "Well, I was planning on going to see my mom tomorrow, but I wasn't sure if I could handle you meeting her the first time like that.. on Christmas," she sighed, picking at her food. "So, I went to see her about an hour ago. You don't mind if we go another time, do you?" she asked him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-12-30 04:41 am UTC (link)
	"Whenever you want to." Tim said, reaching a hand over to rest on her arm--whatever part of it he could reach. "No pressure." (Reply to this) (Parent)
