This is my Christmas one-shot even though Christmas is more than a month away. I wrote it for I'm Burnin' Up For You Baby because 'Gloves' was just so cute, and I too am deep within that winter mood.

"Holy flip it's freezing!" Selena gasped as she stepped out of the public bus.

"I know!" Demi's initial reaction to the cold was to laugh, "Isn't it great?"

Selena started walking hurriedly towards their hotel, "No!" she rubbed her hands together, "A walk in the middle of the winter was a terrible idea."

"Hey," Demi linked her arm through Selena's happily, "you were loving Coney Island until it started snowing."

"Yeah, well, I would have loved it more if we drove." Selena quickened their pace.

She mused that New York had to be the coldest place on Earth during Christmas time. There was no one to be seen in the streets, and it looked surreal without the normal hustle of the people's comings and goings. Selena breathed out heavily and watched the steam billow out around her. Their hotel was only a block away, but to her it looked more like a mile in the falling snow.

"Let's not go back yet." Demi stop walking, "It's so beautiful out here."

"Are you out of your mind?" Selena shivered, "It must be minus 300!"

"You're exaggerating." Demi smiled.

"Says the girl with gloves!" Selena said indignantly.

"Oh come here!" Demi pulled Selena's arms around her neck, and tucked her hands under her warm scarf. She was having far too much fun being alone with her best friend to let them return to the dreary Hilton. She put her hands on Selena's waist and pulled her close. The city lights around them winked through the frost, and the snowflakes settled so nicely on Selena's curls.

"Are you warmer now?" Demi asked.

"I guess I am," Selena replied, "but it feels like were dancing."

"Can't you hear the music?" Demi began swaying them slowly, side to side.

Selena's light laughter sounded like bells in the night air. "Of course I can hear it."

Demi's humming was soft and sweet. Selena felt much warmer in her friend's arms. They danced slowly in between cars, and they stopped in the middle of the street. Demi gave Selena a grand spin, and brought her in even closer than before. Their noses were almost touching.

"You know Demi," Selena said softly, "I've noticed that you have very beautiful eyes."

"Thank you," Demi smiled, "I've noticed that this is kind of romantic."

Selena bit her lip, "You're a very romantic person."

Demi looked at her friend thoughtfully, "You're a very beautiful person."

Selena grinned and turned away blushing. Demi leaned forward and kissed her cheek. Selena turned back to face her, and tilted her head to the side slightly "Demi?" she licked her lips, "Sometimes I think you're in love with me."

"I am in love with you." Demi said gently, "It just scares me to think that you're not."

"Don't be scared."

And then Selena kissed her.
