Hello friends! I think this is my first fanfic in a long time and my first Hey Arnold! fanfic ever. I wrote this in like an hour and I just had to post it. I haven't felt very inspired in a while until just now so I hope you all enjoy this little fic of mine

I do not own Hey Arnold!

Arnold was laying on his bed thinking about a blond hair blue eyed woman who constantly plagued his mind. She had been avoiding him lately. He didn't like it. He was spoiled with her attention since way back in grade school and now that they were both 17 he had gotten use to the attention. Not to mention that they had been dating since they were 15, they were usually inseparable. He knew something was up and he wanted to know what it was, but he couldn't just demand she give him attention that was stupid. He gave an aggravated sigh and turned to the picture of him and Helga at the beach from last summer. He smiled at the memory she had never let take as many pictures of her then that day. He held the frame close to him let out another sigh.

"Are you pining football head?" asked a voice next to him

His eyes snapped open as he looked at the girl who had just been in his head. He wanted to glare at her but try as he might he couldn't. With a sigh he pulled her towards him. Giggling she let him. He buried his face into her neck and breathed in her scent. Gods he missed her.

"Well if this is the welcome I'm going to receive perhaps I should disappear more often" she commented with a smirk

"no" said pouted Arnold "where have you been lately? I missed you"

"don't tell me you forgot what tomorrow is" said Helga smirking once again clearly amused

"I...um..." he looked at the calendar next to his bed and saw that tomorrow was Christmas eve "oh"

"I have been getting your gift ready, what did you think I've been doing?"

He blushed and said "avoiding me"

She laughed slightly "never on purpose love" the she kissed him

She was surprised when he rolled on top of her then took control and deepened the kiss sliding his tongue past her lips and getting lost in her taste. They broke apart panting slightly

Helga let out a shaky breath "oh yeah, definitely disappearing more often"

"no" Arnold growled before kissing her again

Hours later Arnold held Helga close. She sighed in contentment, "so Arnold am I to assume that you forgot to get me something this year"

He laughed "I've had your gift ready for months Helga. Should I be worried that you are just now getting mine done?" he laughed

"whatever football head, go to sleep love" she said before cuddling into his side

"whatever you say Helga, good night"

Well? How was this for a first attempt? I hope it was okay. Please leave me a review and don't flame me too bad, its winter and I'm short on aloe.

Thanks for reading!
