VA Christmas story

DETAILS - Dimitri totally didn't go strigoi, the school is having a Christmas party, and every body knows about Rose and Dimitri's relationship because of Rose, and most do accept it. If you don't understand much of this read the first couple of chapters from Promises to learn about what Rose did to get found out and why she did it. This story is set from Promises, so most of it probably won't make a lot of sense to someone who hasn't already read that story.

It's the 'night' (day for humans) before Christmas.

ROSE POV

Stretching out and making a roll for where I thought Dimitri was lying, the floorboards greeted me warmly.

"Ow," I muttered, rubbing my face with my hands. "Dimitri?" I pulled my legs out and sat flat on the ground, making myself comfortable while my eyes scanned the room for Dimitri. "Where'd you go?"

I clawed to side of the bed frowning and slowly pulling myself up. He ditched me, god. I sighed and stretched a little more when I was up, picking up my bra and underwear, putting them on while I searched for the rest of the clothes I was wearing last night.

They were gone, great. Stuck to go walking through the corridors in ass hugging and wear and a bra that pushed my boobs up, making me look a size D instead of C. talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

I glowered at the door, releasing my hatred on it. As I moved towards it I heard some shuffling outside that quickly disappeared. I opened the door ready to tell off some kid for breaking and entry, not to mention stealing, and found myself eye to eye with a grinning Dimitri.

A grinning Dimitri that had breakfast, yum. "Yum, bacon and eggs." I mechanically pushed onto my tiptoes the peck him on the lips before dragging him into the room and shutting the door. "Where'd you stash my clothes?" I demanded, eyeing off the bacon and egg burger he was holding.

He noticed my stare and handed me the burger was a dumbstruck look on his face. "I didn't take your clothes Rose, your wearing the clothes I want…" he pursed his lips. "And personally I think they looked better in a heap on the ground." He trotted over to the little wooden table he had and put down the orange juice and his burger.

I frowned, taking half my burger in the first mouthful and taking my time to chew and swallow. I took a swig of the orange juice to wash it down. "So who did then?" I muttered, walking over to the table and taking a seat on one of the little chairs opposite of the table. "Some kid walked in and stole my clothes? Yeah that's likely, how'd they break in?" my voice was incredulous as I took another bite of my burger.

Dimitri's face went sheepish when he sat down on the other side of the table scratching his head. "See… I sort of accidently left the door unlocked… I was in a hurry, I didn't want you to go hungry and the guardians eat everything very fast…"

My eye twitched a little, like literally twitched. Swallowing not only the burger bite I had but the lump of pissed off accusations I glared him down. "You let some kids steal my clothes?" at least they didn't take everything. "Okay no problem. You'll just have to go into my dorm and find me something else to wear," he frowned, contemplating something. "I don't give a crap how strange it looks to see a guardian walking into a novice's room looking for clothes," I stood up and went over to the bedside table and snatched up my key, tossing it to him. "I want something to wear."

He sighed. "After I finish my breakfast," he smirked. "And after the morning exercises." Oh that sounded so good coming from his lips. But I could see what he was doing; he was trying to save himself. If we were locked up in his room all day Lissa or someone would eventually come, and he'd send them off to my dorm so he wouldn't look like a creepy stalker guy.

And I laughed at that, almost choking on my burger. "After breakfast, yes. No morning exercises until you get back though, let that be your motivation." I nodded to him and finished off my burger, dusting off my hands I went to go back to sleep.

I heard his frustrated sigh, but I knew I'd won. The only way he could refuse would be if he decided he'd force me into morning activities, and he'd never do that. He'd consider that rape, but I say its not rape if you enjoy it, and I'd enjoy anything Dimitri did to me no matter what earlier demands and claims I may have made.

I must have fallen asleep while I was waiting, and when I woke I found myself nose-to-nose with a smiling Dimitri. He didn't hesitate upon seeing my eyes flutter shut again, I felt his lips crush into mine and my body shifted to roll on top of his.

He chuckled. "You don't even know if I got your clothes yet, you could…be breaking the rules." I cut him off briefly mid section there, he felt the need to snap his teeth shut to prevent a moan, which I thought was rather funny.

Giggling like a preschool girl I continued planting little kisses along his jaw line. "You wouldn't take advantage of a defenseless, immature little school girl would you? Not without at least obeying her one little request to fetch her some clothes?"

The arms he had wrapped around me tensed with anticipation when I drew a leg up between his and pushed myself up from his body with my arms, leaving my face so close to his that my hair formed a private space for me and him only.

"No," he breathed, unclipping my bra from the back. "I love you so much Roza..." he sighed, pulling me back down and rolling us over so he was now pressed on top of me, but he kept most of his weight off me. "I locked the door this time. No interruptions." He purred, and from then on we were both incapable of words.

I could feel Lissa getting closer and closer to me, but I honestly didn't care. Yes, I loved Lissa, she was a sister to me, my best friend. But I was loving Dimitri right now, so she could go deal with whatever she… Ooo, party.

"Lissa's… coming." I choked out between kisses. Dimitri's body shrugged, showing that he had no interest in the subject. "We… have… to go." I unwillingly pushed myself off to the side, effective breaking all of our connections. "The Christmas party, we have to go." I chuckled, seeing his heart broken puppy dog eyes sending me a silent plea. "Come on, we only have to go for an hour. Where are the clothes you got me?" I asked, rolling away from the arm he sent after me to pull me back to him.

He sighed, giving into defeat. "Your clothes are on the table." He said, tossing his legs over the side of the bed and grabbing his things off the floor. "I guess I have to put something else on." he sighed, walking butt naked over to his draw.

I bit my lip, willing myself not to jump at him. He was doing that on purpose. I spun around to face the other direction when I pick up my clothes. When I looked at them I went wide-eyed. "Sure, you don't wanna go to the party, but you'll get me a Santa skank outfit?" I scoffed, peering back at his now half dressed body.

He was grinning widely. "I think you'll look good in it, if you don't like it you can go get something else…" he chuckled

He'd gotten me a little red miniskirt with white fur trimming, matched with a boob-tube singlet lined on the top and bottom with the same white fur trimming as the skirt. There were also some red tights and tights to go under the skirt, and elbow length red gloves. And to hold the little outfit together neatly, there was a Santa hat and a huge candy-cane.

He put his hands up, feinting innocence. "It wasn't me that got it for you, Lissa gave me this card with it, too." He picked up a card and held it out for me. "Apparently her, Mia, and Alina are wearing the same thing as you." He smirked. "She tried convincing me to go as Santa." He chuckled. "I didn't wanna play the fat guy though, so I think she got Adrian too."

I took the card and read it. It said:

Merry Christmas Rose!

This is one of the many presents I got you this year, so you'd
better wear it, okay? If you don't Adrian's going to distribute
the photo's he got of you naked in Dimitri's bed, and he'll raise
your clothes on the flag. Yes its blackmail, but it's going to be
fun!

See you soon, love Lissa.

So that's how she wants to play. There was I knock at the door, and I felt Lissa's amused feelings. I ran over to the door still in my underwear, flung it open and ripped her in before Christian could do anything about it.

"Adrian took photos of me while I was naked?" I demanded, shaking her a little.

I heard Dimitri gasp. "He was looking at you naked? Where is he?" Dimitri growled, pulling on a long sleeved button down white shirt that looked almost formal.

Lissa giggled at me and shrugged at Dimitri. "Yes and I don't know where he is. Okay so I'll see you-"

"Hell no." I cut her off. "I want those photos, or I'm not going anywhere dressed like that." I growled, jabbing a finger at the heap of red fabric and white fluff on the floor. "You know I would have gone dressed like that anyway, you didn't have to black mail me." I shuddered at the thought of Adrian taking photos of me while I was naked and asleep.

She sighed and pulled out a tiny cell phone. Where'd she get a phone from? "Burn the photos Adrian, she's wearing it." She flipped the phone shut and grinned. "See? All better." She turned around and danced out of the room back to an irritated Christian.

I went to the part dressed in the outfit Lissa had brought for me, and was glad to see that Alina, Mia and she were also wearing the ridiculous thing. Adrian took one look at me and took off in the other direction, obviously guessing that I intended to clobber him over the head with the biggest, hardest object I could get my hands on, which at the moment would be Dimitri. We I'd already broken the one hour deal I made with Dimitri, because we both had to stay for the ceremony. The queen and some other important people had come to the school to take part in our ceremony, and we were all just taking our seats to listen now.

She blabbered on and on about loads of crap that had happened throughout the year. About the strigoi's many attacks on the school, about the bravery and dedication of the novices that gave up their lives early to help save the school, and the strength of the guardians and novices that managed to ward off the attacks.

She spoke about me a lot, which was sort of embarrassing. She started going on and on about how many lives I'd saved, and how my early warning about the strigoi managed to save a lot of people, and how I 'sacrificed' myself to the strigoi in order to protect the school from attack. She spoke of Alina, and how she was unique and strong, discovering ways to bring back the eternally damned souls of both guardians Belikov, and Hathaway. A.K.A Dimitri and Nikki.

When we got to the awards part we all perked up. The awards usually consisted of well done trophies for juniors and seniors that aced there field exams and things, but our little group was looking for a split bravery award this year.

Sure, none of us did what we did for the awards, but we were told yesterday that we would be receiving numerous awards, which is why we came tonight.

The awards went on and on, and every third award was for Me, Dimitri, Lissa, Alina, Adrian, Mia, or Tamika. Tamika only got one award, and that was for the field experiences she was dragged through. Lissa and Adrian both got bravery awards, and they both got medical awards for assisting the nurses with their magic in times of need. Alina got one of the bravery awards and a medical award, but she also got an award loyalty. Dimitri got an award for bravery, loyalty, determination, and his ability to kick ass at everything. Mia only got a bravery award, but she seemed surprised that she got an award at all.

And then there was me. I only won one award in theory, but that was because they decided to put everything together instead of handing me fifty trophies and certificates. My award was for determination, bravery, dedication, self sacrifice, strength, and blah blah blah the list went on.

When the ceremony was finally over me and Dimitri took off, eager for a night along. I went to my dorm first to drop off my trophy and get changed out of this ridiculous outfit, and then I hurried over to his room to meet him.

When I got there the night went on, we talked for around five minutes before we were ripping each others clothes off on his bed.

Yeah the endings a little crappy, but I couldn't think up anything else. I hope you enjoyed it, bye.
