Sorry, just an update.
1) I love you guys. Seriously.
2) I hope you have a great Christmas or Hanukkah or 'I get to eat all the food in my house because my parents are at work' or 'YAAASSSS NO SCHOOL'. Whatever you celebrate I hope it's great.
3) I really am sorry that this is sort of just an update so I am attaching a short little one-shot about Snake Eyes and Temper's Christmas in Snake Eyes' cabin. Takes place in ASWAT-verse.

rudeandveryginger, Audrey Whyte, KarmaJay, ZabuzasGirl, MsKMJ, and anybody else that asksI never get tired of you guys reminding me that I have to update the story. Really though, if I hadn't had you guys as a constant reminder, I would probably still be on the fourth chapter of A Snake with a Temper.
I love it when you guys review and say that you are enjoying my story, another reason why I'm still not on the fourth chapter of A Snake with a Temper.
A special thanks goes out to QueensGambit for her grammatical corrections to my story.
6) Question: DO ANY OF YOU KNOW A GREAT, CHEAP WAY TO GET G.I. JOE COMICS? (Preferably an app) I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
Now, please enjoy!
Temper's feet hit the snow with a soft *thud* and she continued running. She weaved in and out of the trees, making sure not to look back. Her heart pounded in her ears, the only sound she could hear was her bare feet running on top of the soft snow and the footsteps of the man behind her. He certainly wasn't trying to be quiet as she could hear him before he fell in step beside her. She didn't look to him and he didn't glance to her.
They came out of the forested area and went from snow to hard, rocky ground. Still they kept running until the edge of the cliff came near and they came to an abrupt stop.
Temper muscles ached and she reveled in the feeling. Snake Eyes handed her a bottle which she took gratefully and drank with greed. Her lungs pushed and pulled air out, her heart raced.
Temper was dressed in a sports bra and boy shorts, Snake Eyes wore something a little more appropriate, sweat pants and a t-shirt. I said a little, not a lot. It didn't matter as sweat followed gravity's rules and ran down their bodies. Heat radiated from the two, a product of their exercise that made them wish the air was a little chillier.
Snake Eyes sat down and Temper followed suit. Orange, red, and yellow painted the horizon and the sun bid them goodnight. A light blue filled the sky, then navy and white stars dotted their vision. Temper laid back onto the cold ground and name the constellations above her. Meanwhile, Snake Eyes watched her every movement and wondered how he came across her and what he did to deserve her. She often thought the same thing.
Temper looked to Snake Eyes only to catch him staring at her. She gave him her brightest smile that took his breath away.
"Enjoying the view?" she teased.
Thoroughly, he signed.
"We should start heading back," she advised.
Right, we still have to cook dinner.
It seemed to Temper that the run back was shorter than the run there. When they were safely in the cabin Snake Eyes fixed dinner and then joined Temper in the shower.
Temper sat in between Snake Eyes' legs and leaned back onto his chest. Timber made his way to his master and Temper sitting by the fire and curled up next to them. Temper watched the clock intensely until the hands reached twelve, then she turned her head and kissed Snake Eyes.
When they broke apart she said to him, "Merry Christmas."
