Sir I wanna buy these shoes

For my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry sir?

Daddy says theirs not much time

And I want her to look beautiful,

'Cus Mommy meets Jesus,

Tonight

"I had to get her something," he sobbed into her shoulder, her arms wrapped around him protectively.

"I understand, Hatter you loved your Mother very much. I would do the same if my mother were dying." Tarrant looked up at her with moist pale blue eyes. She offered him a small smile, which he returned.

Absently she stroked his electric orange hair; he buried his face in the length between her shoulder and neck. "Thank you Alice."

She smiled again, "You're welcome Mo Bhilis Gradh." He smiled and tilted his head up and kissed her.

"What was it like when your Father died for you Alice?" He wondered aloud.

It's hard to say but I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack (please take me away from here)

'Cus I feel like such a nezoniack (please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep (please take me away from here)?

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To 10 million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)

"My father always told me that while I slept, ten million fireflies would be dancing around my room, and just before he died he told me that they would think me weird because I hated saying goodbye to them. But I still know where some are." She smiled. "He always told me Earth turned slowly, and to enjoy the days or else they would speed up." Alice blinked back a few tears, "It was very hard for me, but after he died I made two little fireflies, one I gave to my father and his funeral, the other I still have." She smiled and reached for the long chain around her neck and pulled out the firefly charm.

They smiled at one another again, 'This Christmas things will be better,' Tarrant thought to himself, 'because were together, and although both our parents died on Christmas Eve, that doesn't mean we still can't enjoy the holidays.'

A/N: I know, I know. I still have all those other stories to do but this has been screaming at me for a while! Any who, the first song is Christmas Shoes by (I think) New Song and the second song was Fireflies by Owl City.
