Merry Christmas, Diana

[dresdenforhire]

"Hell's Bells, coal a gain," I said, making a face as I peaked into my stocking. We aren't supposed to be opening stockings yet because one of us was still technically in bed and possibly asleep but I couldn't help it. I had to know.

Coal again. You'd think after a few years the big guy would give me a break but apparently that wasn't the case. I guess when you lived for several centuries a grudge of a few years wasn't much. Maybe eventually it wouldn't be much to me either but right now it sucks.

"Fat. Jolly. Petty. Stupid-face," I grumbled, which probably didn't help me get off the naughty list. I don't even know what I'd want Santa to get me but it's definitely not coal. I should start putting them in pressure and eventually I'll have diamonds. That'll show Santa. Or maybe living well is the best revenge? There was a goddess laying in my bed that loved me like crazy. Still... "Next year I'm warding the stocking..."

"Oh, so you're saying because I get in a lot of fights it's not the same as when I pick a fight with Santa?" I asked, turning around to move in behind her, arms wrapped around her waist as I pulled her close.

"Or are you defending him because you're both part of the 'brings joy and happiness to those all over the world' club? It can tell, it's a conspiracy," I told her, kissing her ear before my fingers began to move along her side, tickling her for just a moment before she put me in some sort of judo-throw-lock-thing. Worth it though.

No judo, but she does stop his hand with alarming speed.

'I'm saying people who care about their Christmas stocking probably don't usually try to fight the old man... but I suppose it could be a wild conspiracy.' she lets herself lean back against him.

'Do you want breakfast, Harry?' she repeats.

"Well when you say it all reasonable like that and while not ranting it all makes perfect sense," I said, leaning down to kiss the top of her head as my arms settled on just holding her. I guess I can't get too upset about any gifts I did or didn't get from Santa Claus. I'm pretty sure that I used up all my good karma being with Diana.

"And breakfast sounds fantastic. After we open... 5 presents?"

Diana rolls her eyes a little, shaking her head.

'Go on, then,' she didn't have the heart to quite say no, though she did stare towards the kitchen for several more moments.

'Since you were so disappointed with your coal. But then we are having breakfast.'

"Of course we're having breakfast. After we open 6 presents," I said, as if one of the most intelligent and wisest women to ever live might not notice that I slipped an extra present in there before breakfast. "I want you to see what I got you before we eat though. So I promise after you open that then we can eat."

'Four now, because you're being cheeky.' she counters, crossing her arms.

'Alright. You can open the one I got you as well.'
