A/N: Hello again! I couldn't figure out what to do for this story, and then I figured since Evlynn got a private season introduction at home, Jassandra deserved one too! But because its Jassandra of course it's gotta get super super fluffy. As I said before I'm handling Jassandra as a casual shipper this year, but I hope you're able to soak up the goodness no matter what! Enjoy! This has been one of my favorite carols this season for some reason.
December 2nd: This Christmas
"Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you: This Christmas"
Cassandra was sitting cross-legged on the couch. She was eating a bowl of Christmas lucky charms and wearing button-down pajamas covered in reindeer and Santas. Christmas carols blasted through the apartment. December had arrived and she was in full swing.
Hang all the mistletoe, I'm gonna get to know you better: This Christmas.
Cassandra hummed along to the music as she crunched on cereal and marshmallows and turned her attention to her task for the morning.
Jacob hadn't been there when she'd woken up: she assumed he'd gone to the Annex to get in some early-morning research. So, she'd taken the opportunity to start looking for Christmas-card layouts to surprise him with. He'd been so sweet making them the cards last year: now she wanted to be the one to make him smile. As she was about to text Eve and ask her for her opinion, the door opened, bringing in Jacob carrying bags and covered in snow.
Their eyes met and they both immediately froze.
"You were asleep when I left!" Jake exclaimed.
"I woke up." Cassandra stuttered. "I...thought you were at the Annex."
"No I was just running out to…"
Jake's eyes immediately shifted down to the bags in his hands, and Cassandra's followed. There were a few from Nordstrom, and Macy's, and clutched in between two fingers, she eyed a small blue one.
Quickly, Jake shoved the bags behind his back and chuckled nervously. Cassandra rolled her eyes at him, but they quickly moved on as he walked over to the couch.
"What're you working on over here?" he said happily.
"No!" Cassandra exclaimed. Thinking impulsively, she grabbed his face and kissed him hard. He stumbled and exhaled, and Cassandra bit her lip as she pulled away.
"Tell you what?" Jake said, grabbing her waist. "Why don't you log out of whatever it is there you don't want me to see, and I'll go hide these bags, and we can both pretend none of this ever happened."
Cassandra smiled flirtatiously, her eyes bright and full of love as she looked across at him. Softly this time, she leaned up and kissed him again.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"Just for being the best boyfriend ever," she said. "And because I love you. And because it's Christmas again and this one's gonna be more amazing and special than any Christmas before because I'm spending it with you."
"But you spent it with me last year." Jake argued, teasing.
"But I love you even more than I did then, even though I didn't think that was possible."
Once again their lips met in a soft dance. Jake smiled and looked down at her before pulling her hands off his middle and starting towards their bedroom.
"Put your PJs back on while you're in there!" Cassandra called, suddenly envisioning a cozy Saturday at home. "I'll get you some Lucky Charms! They're showing Christmas Magic on the Hallmark Channel!"
Jake laughed as he went to hide the gifts he'd bought. He was in love with the most wonderful girl on earth, no doubt. Thinking about the month ahead of them, he knew she was right: This Christmas would be better than anything they'd ever known before.
And this Christmas, will be a very special Christmas for me.
A/N: I was eating my Christmas Lucky Charms for breakfast this morning and I just figured Cassie would love that to pieces. Also, for those of you who didn't get the reference, "Christmas Magic" is one of Lindy Booth's Christmas movies(Which you should all definitely go watch cause its fantastic.) See you tomorrow with "Mistletoe and Holly". 11 Days Until Season 4!
