"Why are we in a craft store again?" Carmilla groaned.

Laura tugged at her girlfriend's wrist as she dragged her around the store. "We missed Christmas with my dad, and because of the whole trying to kill your mom thing, i haven't had time to buy him a present. So now I'm going to find something to make him."

Carmilla rolled her eyes. "Well don't pick anything made out of wood, you might get a splinter and that might give your dad a heart attack."

The tiny brunette huffed, "It will NOT. Yes, he's overprotective, not crazy."

Carmilla shrugged and slowly intertwined their fingers, "If you say so, Cupcake." A slow grin tugged at the corner of her lips as she stood her ground and pulled her girlfriend against her. "You know, instead of wasting our time here, we could be doing something a bit more fun." She could see the goosebumps riddling the smaller girl's skin.

"Carm, w-we need to be looking for something for my dad," Laura squeaked as she pulled back, bumping into the yarn racks behind her.

Carmilla went to trap Laura against the racks, purring slightly. Laura shut her eyes and gave in to her girlfriend's wishes, only to feel the presence of Carmilla no longer surrounding her. She slowly cracked open her eyes, only to widen them to the size of dinner plates a second later.

Laura had to clamp her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. There was her bad-ass vampire girlfriend playing with a ball of yarn on the floor that had dislodged itself from its brethren.

"C-Carm?" she managed to say without letting out a laugh. Her eyes were tearing up from trying so hard.

Carmilla froze and immediately dropped the yarn, standing up and dusting herself off. She grabbed her almost dying from laughter girlfriend and started to drag her away from the yarn section muttering, "Don't tell a soul. Let's go find your dad his stupid present and leave."

Laura couldn't help but let a small giggle escape. Carmilla just sighed in slight embarrassment as Laura gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
