I think I'm attempting the impossible with this...please wish me luck with actually finishing all twenty-five of these. I'll be posting one a day all the way up until Christmas day. These are all at random periods in their lives and none of them are connected to one another in any way.

She's so incredibly bored.

She isn't surprised, parties weren't really her thing and they probably would never be, but the entourage of people surrounding her are surprised by this, constantly reminding her there's plenty of activities to partake in and plenty of people to talk with, but really, she just wants to go home and curl up on the couch with her boyfriend and put a movie in.

She tells him this with the holiday themed music reverberating throughout the halls, the group of people dancing to the music and drinking all around them. The Christmas tree in the living room is lit up in an assortment of colors, a variety of different ornaments hanging from top to bottom, the traditional silver star sitting atop the green tree.

"You want to watch a movie?"

She purses her lips together when she looks up at him from their small corner of the Treble house, who were more than enthusiastic to host this years holiday party for the university's a cappella groups. "Okay, no. But, I thought that it might get you out of here faster."

He laughs lightly, pulling her in close to him by her tiny frame. "You're something else, Beca Mitchell."

She leans her weight against him slightly, tilting her chin up towards him to look him in the eyes. "Please?"

Jesse doesn't reply, just moves his arm up to hold her firm on her shoulder, leaning down to push his lips against her own. She eases into it happily, drowning out the conversations around her and the music playing loudly from the boombox. He pulls back a beat later, eyes still trained in on her blue ones. "Alright. Let's go."

They make it back to the Bellas house, just next door to where they were, walking hand in hand in the cool, chilly air that seems to be so appropriate for the holiday season. The dark night is lit up by the Christmas lights hanging up on most of the surrounding homes, the lake across the street reflecting all the different hues into the night from the houses bordering the body of water. There's Christmas music still in their range of hearing from the party they just left, 'Baby It's Cold Outside's' soft echoes making its way out of the house walls.

The couple puts on a pair of pajamas before curling up together on the couch, Beca leaning against Jesse's chest lightly in the Bellas living room, flicking the TV on, Jesse searching for another new Christmas movie to introduce to his girlfriend.

"Oh," he says, plastering a confused look onto his face. He reaches behind him, pulling the small green leaf out from behind his back and waving it up above both of their heads. "What do I have here?"

"You know, you didn't need the mistletoe to get a kiss tonight. You could have just kissed me. Really, I would have been okay with that."

"I know," he says, grinning down at her lazy form resting against him. "But, I thought it'd be romantic."

"You really are the biggest dork I've ever met," she says, but she leans up to kiss him softly against his lips regardless.
