Thought I would add a cute one shot before Christmas! Let me know what you think? Based off of the song Just by being you.

Elis POV

Let's run away

Where nothing stands between me and you

Let's find a place

Somewhere a little closer to a dream

And call it a home

Where there's no right and there's no wrong

And we can be all alone

I watched as her teeth shattered and she rubbed her hands together for warmth.

It was the night before Christmas, and, her stupid parents left for the weekend. I am also pretty sure they forgot that Christmas was this weekend.

So, of course, she was a total wreck.

She had cried in my arms for hours and screamed how much she hated them.

Who would even do that to their child?

Take off and leave with only an hours notice.

I had then scooped her bridle style when she finally stopped crying and took her to my house.

So here we are, at hotel Eli where all your wild dreams come true... Hera did at least...

She had her ocean blue eyes on me, watching me with a look I had never seen in her eyes before; want and need.

She took off her jacket, eyes never leaving mine for a second.

I use to believe that little saint act she put on.

But now, I knew her way better than to believe such a thing.

She was far from saint- especially when she was with me.

I knew from the second I carried her in this house, that 'Saint Clare' was far gone.

Next her shoes came off.

She slipped them off incredibly slow and I stood their watching, anticipation running through my face.

She chuckled Evilly and walked slowly to me.

Once she reached me, her arms circled around my neck and she moved her arms down so that her hands were now on my chest, running them down until they reached my belt.

I gulped.

She was most defiantly not upset about her parent's absence now. She was probably even thankful, I know I was.

She pulled me down on the couch and cuddled up to my chest.

She was practically on my lap and her Nose was nuzzled in the crook of my neck.

I immediately gripped the remote to the TV and turned it on.

I looked down at her when I did this, and she had a frown on her face, easily mistaken as a pout.

"Quit the act Goldsworthy." I heard her say with venom.

I turned to her in confusion.

"Care to explain what you're talking about?" I asked with one eyebrow raised.

"We are alone Eli. You wont even let me cuddle with you without you looking like someone is going to walk in and get you embarrassed. You don't have to act like your some kind of saint. We both know for a fact that isn't true." she spoke with suggestion in her voice.

"Neither are you." I shot back at her with a devious grin plastered on my face.

"Never said I was." she winked at me.

"And I love that you aren't. You're perfect." I kissed her button nose. "In every" her forehead, "single" her cheek, "way." I finished and finally kissed her sweet red lips.

She giggled and cuddled against me even more.

She laid her head on my lap and held me hand as the TV continued to play some sort of Christmas movie.

Fifteen minutes passed and she hadn't spoken.

I looked down at my lap to see my little angel sleeping.

I listened as I heard her breathe softly in and out, and then sigh.

I smirked and then within seconds fell asleep with my perfect sleeping angel.

And I'll take off my halo

If you take off your wings.

You don't have to be invincible

Cause I sure ain't no saint

You'll always be my angel

No matter what you do,

Cause you take me to heaven just by being you

Merry Christmas! Let me know what you think!
