"I can't believe you actually convinced me to let this vacation happen." Bruce said, slamming his car door as two other cars pulled into the area. Diana climbed out from the passenger side with a laugh.

"Bruce, this will be good for the founders. We've needed a break for a long time." Diana replied, opening the truck of the car and pulling out a bag.

Bruce cringed. "But for a month? You know I don't like to keep Gotham unprotected for so long." He pulled out another bag before shutting the trunk.

"You don't like keeping Gotham unprotected for an hour." She said, rolling her eyes. They both turned to the rest of the cars as John, Shayera, and Barry exited out of one car while Clark and Lois exited another.

"I didn't know you owned three lodges." Clark said, slinging his bag over his shoulder. Lois grabbed his hand and walked with him toward Bruce and Diana.

Bruce gave him a cocky smirk. "You didn't know I own an entire lodging site." He turned to the lodges, all three hugging the curve of the iced over lake.

"Pick one, and we'll figure out who's bunking with who." He said. Barry raised his hand up and pointed at the one on the far left end of the row.

"I call that one!" He said. Bruce grabbed Diana's hand and shook his head.

"No, Diana and I are taking that one." He said. Diana smiled. Barry frowned and crossed his arms.

"Why do you get to bunk with Wondy?" He whined. Bruce held up their interlaced hands.

"Because she's my girlfriend." Diana laughed.

"Can I at least bunk with you two?" Barry asked as the two heroes walked past him toward the lodge that he had called dibs on.

"Absolutely not." Bruce answered over his shoulder.

He pulled Diana up the stairs before fishing in his pocket for the keys. Diana put a hand to her hip with a smile. She entered the cozy lodge, a sigh escaping her lips. She turned around.

"Why specifically this one?" She asked. Bruce set his bag down and smirked. He walked toward her with his hands stretched out for her. She placed both of her hands in his, breathing in his scent as he got closer to her.

"This was always the lodge that my parents stayed in when I was younger. I didn't want Barry to turn into a slob in here." He answered. Diana chuckled.

He pressed his lips to hers quickly before pulling away. "I've also might have decorated a bit in the bedroom before we got here."

She raised a brow at him before chuckling to herself. "Lead the way."
He dragged her up the stairs and into the room just off to the left of the large and open sitting room that had taken over the second floor. The second floor was tucked in the back of the lodge, leaving the whole first floor with a high ceiling that made the rafters almost go invisible. She gasped when their room had came into view, the bed covered with rose petals and paper snowflakes, with white christmas lights adoring the headboard and the tops of the windows. She smiled to herself as the vanilla smell that came off the lit candles filled her nose. She closed her eyes as Bruce turned off the lights in the room, letting only the orange glow be the source of light.

She felt her bag fall off of her shoulder and land on the side of her boots. Her scarf was pulled off gently. Bruce moved a side of curls to the other side of her face, her neck revealing itself to him. She hummed her satisfaction when he pressed a kiss to the skin, leaning into him. She stood there, letting the electricity that had shot out of his lips send shivers down her spine. Bruce smirked against her skin.

"Like it?" He murmured. She opened her eyes and turned to him. She smiled.

"Very much." She answered quietly. She unzipped her jacket, dropping it on her bag before reaching for Bruce's jacket. She tugged on it, and he obeyed her silent command and also dropped it on the ground. She groaned in frustration.

"Why did you have to wear a turtle neck today? Of all days..." She mumbled. He chuckled. He leaned in and kissed her, his hands wandering her body until they rested on her hips. He pulled away from her.

"Just to tease you." He answered. He kissed her again, taking a step forward.

He let her lay back on the bed before making his way over her. He kissed her again before making a trail down her neck. She hummed again, her hands going down to the hem of his shirt and pulling it up slowly.

"Bruce!" Clark's name rang out in the empty lodge. Bruce stopped and pulled away from Diana. He looked at the open door of the bedroom, with a glare. Diana laughed and sat up.

"I'm going to kill him." He said to her. Diana giggled and stood up, taking Bruce's hand in her own and leading him out of the bedroom. They walked to the very edge of the second floor, looking over the ledge to see Clark grinning with a hat in his hand.

"You have to chose a name out of the hat." Clark said, shaking the hat with little slips of paper inside of it. "We're doing secret Santa."

Bruce rolled his eyes. "That is why you yelled out? This couldn't wait till later." He glared at Clark. Diana placed a hand on Bruce's shoulder to calm him down. Bruce sighed. "Fine."

He descended down the stairs, grumbling. He picked two slips of paper. Clark held up a finger and looked at Bruce and then Diana. "You can't tell anyone who you have."

When Clark left, Bruce held up the two slips. He smiled. "I got you." She smiled.

"Who did I get?" He opened up the second slip. He smiled again. "Me."

"Convenient." She stated. He shrugged.

"So are we going to resume?" He asked. She sighed.

"Not now, I have to figure out your gift." She said, walking down the staircase. Bruce frowned.

"You don't have to give me a gift, Princess." He said. She shrugged.

"I want to." She sat on the couch with a loud sigh. "Besides, getting a gift for you is going to be difficult and I want a challenge." He smiled and sat beside her, putting an arm over her and pulling her close to him. He kissed her hair before shutting his eyes.

When Diana had realized that he had fallen asleep, she quickly untangled herself from him and headed back upstairs, grabbing her jacket and scarf from the floor and putting them on. She tiptoed her way out of the lodge, grabbing the keys to Bruce's car. She shut the door and walked to his car, a list of potential presents running through her head.

Her eyes scanned the endless items among the shelves for colognes before she moved onto the watches. She frowned. It wasn't because she didn't like them, but a watch was something Bruce already had, something he had many of. That included cologne and the endless racks of dress shirts and ties. She left the clothing store empty handed, her eyes searching for the next store to go to.

She gasped at the sudden poke at her leg before she looked down at a dog sniffing her. The woman apologized with a smile before heading off once again, cooing the dog in an effort to follow her down the street. She bit her lip as the dog looked back at her, giving out a powerful bark before trotting alongside the woman, its tail waving back and forth. She smiled, turning her head in the opposite direction to head to the one place Bruce didn't have anything from.

She paced the small isle, a smile as the employee explained each one that had caught her eye. Diana stopped, a sudden connection forming and a smile making its way to her lips. She knelt down and stared back at the animal in the corner. The one who separated itself from the others. The animal walked up to her and sniffed her through the cage, a bark, strong and powerful, echoing through the shelter.

"He seems to like you." The employee said, bending down and reaching out to the dog, which shrugged away from him and stood closer to Diana. "He's usually quiet and he doesn't really get along with the others.

Diana smiled and nodded. "Just like someone else I know."


Yay I finally finished. I would've posted earlier but I got too lazy. Thanks for reading!
