A/N: So I wanted to write something with fluff and this happened. It was really fun to write, so I hope it's fun to read as well. By the way, thank you to everyone who read, reviewed, and favorited my other story. Means a lot :)

I don't own anything.

Garrett sat in the snow with his back leaning against a tree. Kate was seated on his lap, her head resting on his shoulder. She ran her fingertips across his hand, mindlessly locking and unlocking her fingers with his.

"Still haven't come to your senses?" she asked.

"Of course not. That's no fun."

"I'm guessing that your idea of fun is sacrificing the normal diet you've been practicing for decades and decades for something much less satisfying that you may have trouble adapting to, as well as giving up your nomad status, all for someone you only just met?"

"Are you trying to make me think twice about coming here? Because that's not going to work. You're stuck with me."

"That's not what I was doing," she said, the corners of her mouth quirking into a smile. Garrett had convinced her a few weeks ago that he wasn't going anywhere. She liked his reassurance, though. It made her feel safer for some reason, like he was one thing in her life that was permanent.

"For the record, I did give this partial thought before jumping into it."

"Partial?" she asked, amusement laced in her voice.

"Yes, partial. Instead of thinking over every little detail about what I would be giving up, I was prepared to give everything up if it meant that I could be with you."

"Is this the part where I'm supposed to swoon over your dedication to me?"

"It would help."

"I wasn't serious."

He chuckled.

"I know. It was worth a shot."

She smiled. Fate must have been on her side to give her someone like him. She was still new at the relationship thing, but he made her feel like it was as easy as breathing. She wondered how long it would take for her to get used to the feeling of needing him. Was that how it felt to know that you'd always have someone? It was like she was just throwing herself off of a building, confident that there would be a net to catch her.

Thinking about the possibility of never finding him made her frozen heart fall to her stomach. Or even worse, if he hadn't kept his promise. She thought of how upset she would have been not only that she'd lost her sister, but possibly the best thing that had ever showed up in her life as well. She quickly realized that she didn't like this warped, alternate ending to her offbeat fairytale. She liked the regular ending; her happily ever after of sorts with Garrett.

She hoped he didn't mind it. He did give up a lot for her. It was a risky move, but in all honesty they had both been too blinded by love to care.

"You could have ended up hating it here," she said, not really meaning to actually say the words aloud, but oh well.

"I was determined to make it work. Challenges are sort of my thing," he said with a smile. She rolled her eyes.

"Believe me, I know."

He was a former nomad. Of course he loved a challenge. But that got her thinking about what his life was like before her. What did he do and where had he been? She had been with a coven for the duration of her vampire life. It made her wonder what it was like to be unattached, to be rootless. It had to get lonely at times. Maybe even a bit upsetting once you realize that you don't have anyone. She didn't think that was the case with Garrett though. He was an adventurer at heart. He had to enjoy that kind of lifestyle, right?

"What was it like being a nomad?" she asked, because she finally had to. It seemed like he thought about her question thoroughly before answering.

"It was always interesting. It was complete freedom all the time. It never got boring. You could do what you wanted to do, the only limitation being that you couldn't expose what you were to humans. If you didn't like it somewhere, you could leave the next day. If you wanted to visit a certain place, you could simply pass through and move on."

She frowned.

"It seems like you really liked it."

"I did."

"Then why did you leave all of that behind for me?"

He chuckled as if she'd asked a foolish question.

"Because you took priority, Kate. You always will. You were all I cared about as soon as I met you. Nothing else mattered after that."

She smiled.

"So reckless and impulsive."

"You wouldn't have it any other way."

"What makes you so sure about that?"

"Because I know you," he said before leaning down and capturing her lips with his. She smiled slightly against his lips and sighed when he pulled away.

"I suppose you do," she said as he rested his forehead against hers.

"You act like that's a bad thing."

"It just means that we're in… this a lot deeper than I thought."

"It's called love, Kate," he said with a smile.

"Right. That."

He looked into her golden eyes for a few moments before he noticed the glimmering effect that the sudden, dim sunlight was having on her skin.

"It's sunrise. Should we go back home?" he asked. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"Do we have to?"

"Tanya might start to worry. We've been out here all night," he said with a chuckle.

Kate exhaled another breath before slowly opening her eyes.

"You're right," she said, standing reluctantly and taking his hand.

"It's okay though. We've got plenty of time to spend together."

She smiled. He had a point.

A/N: I'm thinking about continuing with this because I think I have an idea on where to take it. I'm a little undecided though.

Thanks for reading :)

Reviews are lovely x
