A/N – Just a little Christmas fun for you all, I hope you enjoy it and I'd love your opinions. Merry Christmas everyone.

Spock strode purposefully through one of the numerous hallways of the Enterprise with the intention of finding the captain, who was not answering the con once again. Whilst on his search Spock observed a large group of cadets carrying boxes of varying sizes in one direction; Spock hailed one of the cadets over.

"Excuse me cadet."

"Yes commander" the cadet responded dutifully.

"What is the objective of this group at present?"

"Captain Kirk ordered us to move these boxes from storage to the main hall immediately."

"Very well cadet, carry on."

Spock moved ahead of the group towards the main hall all the while planning to berate Kirk for avoiding his responsibilities. The main hall door opened smoothly and Spock entered silently, Christmas music filled the air from distant speakers. Instead of finding Kirk, Spock found you, his partner of four months; you were stood upon a small step-ladder fishing brightly coloured tinsel from a box and hanging it around the room. The earlier group of cadets entered the room and approached you.

"Officer (L/N) -" one of the group began.

"Just put the boxes over there" you cut them off motioning to a far off corner and returning to the task at hand with the gusto of 1000 men.

Spock approached you "Officer (L/N), would you please inform me what is going on here?" he requested as he took his usual rigid position with his hands behind his back.

A smile reached your lips at his stubborn refusal to use your first name while on duty in an attempt to keep things professional.

"Well Mr. Spock, Captain Kirk ordered me to decorate this room for tomorrow's Christmas party."

"I see. Do you know the captain's current position?"

"Nope, his last words before leaving were and I quote "I've stayed still too long, I should leave before Spock or Bones find me" you chuckled moving the ladder to a different spot "Then he ran as fast as he could, now please be a doll and hold this ladder still while I pin this to the ceiling".

Spock raised a questioning eyebrow at the human saying but complied anyway "What is the function of these decorations officer?" he inquired.

"Just to make the room look festive and nice" you beamed back.

Spock looked up at the ceiling in distaste as you climbed down the step-ladder "And you accomplish this by hanging fake plants from the ceiling?" he continued.

"It's mistletoe Spock; it's tradition to hang it from the ceiling at Christmas."

"For what purpose?"

"Well…" you glanced around the room knowing how private Vulcans could be, once you'd confirmed that there was no-one else in the room you pulled Spock into a deep kiss; when you finally released Spock from the kiss the tips of his ears were a light shade of green and a look of confusion was plastered on his face.

"Two people caught under mistletoe together are supposed to share a kiss… but if that makes you uncomfortable then we could do this instead" you carried on reaching out your hand and extending your index and middle fingers.

Spock hesitated for a moment before mirroring your action and participating in a Vulcan kiss.

"Just make sure you avoid Kirk when near the mistletoe" you beamed.

A smile tugged at the corner of Spock's lips "I do believe that I would only be caught under the mistletoe with you from now on".
