Christmas for Sam

[thethirdwonder]

It was kind of weird how technically Cassie had had Christmas in a different place every year thanks to the islands magic. London had been pretty last year but Cassie was really enjoying New York. Especially the beautiful decorated apartment she shared with Sam. It was definitely a better job then she could have done on her own.

And now it was Christmas morning. She and Sam had spent a late morning in bed and then had a leisurely breakfast, also in bed. Cassie had taken then tray back to the kitchen and prepared a nest of pillows in front of the Christmas tree for opening presents. Spending the whole day in bed sounded like a great idea, but that didn't mean the whole day had to be in the same bed!

When she was done, she went back into the bedroom and pounced on Sam to pull him out of bed. "Come on, it's ready!"

From anyone else the present might have been insensitive, but Cassie knew just how much Bee meant to him and just how much it had to have even a little piece of him on the island. Best. Girlfriend. Ever.

"You don't ever have to worry about anything you give me," he told her, pulling her even closer. "You know me perfectly."

"I'll try to remember that." She meant it as she curled into his side. As much as she wanted to, she knew there would always be a little insecurity, but that's how she knew it was right. She left the arrogance to the Bats.

"Speaking of perfect, can we just stay here for while? I'm feeling just as close to perfect as you can get on Christmas." Of course there would be going out and seeing friends later, and there were people missing from the island, but right now...Cassie just wanted this moment with Sam to last as long as possible.

"Right here sounds good to me," he said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her a bit closer. Sam would gladly stay like this all day, every day, except that he would probably die of malnutrition in a few weeks.
