AN: Happy holidays peeps! If you're a college kid; enjoy all the free food and clean laundry, I for one am.

When the bleeding wouldn't stop, Beca dragged Jesse to the nearest clinic.

"How many stitches are you up so far?" Beca asked when she walked back to the room with a cup of coffee in her hand where Jesse was getting the cut on his arm stitched. He was barely holding it together. Jesse was never fan of needles, they actually frightened him.

"I don't know" he managed to say as he looked at her, he looked paler and she was only gone for 5 minutes.

"Nurse Mattila?" Beca put her hand on Jesse's shoulder.

"Seven" the male nurse answered her in a thick Finnish accent. Beca squeezed his shoulder to comfort him. "You're doing well Jess" She placed a kiss on his cheek as the nurse finished stitching him up.

"You have to go the hospital two weeks from now to get the stitches off" The nurse informed as he placed a band aid on the stitches on his bicep.

"Okay" Beca nodded. The nurse made sure to tell them everything they should know on how to take care of the wound. Beca nodded along and didn't interrupt even though she knew what to do.

"Here" Beca handed him a juice pouch as they made their way out of the clinic. He was still out of it. "Jess" she called

"Thanks Bec" Jesse took the pouch from her and placed a kiss on her head. When he didn't open the pouch Beca stopped him. "Jesse" she held both his shoulders

"Yeah" he answered as he looked at her.

"Snap the fuck out of it, you're fine, there are no needles around, 'kay?" The haunted look on his face worried her. She always knew how much he disliked needles but never thought it was this bad.

"I'll be fine" he smiled at her, it didn't reach his eyes.

"Dude, you're freaking me out—C'mere" She cupped his face and kissed him. It usually worked whenever she wanted to get him out of any mental state. She hoped it would work now. "What was that for?" he asked with a grin on his face.

Beca sighed a sigh of relief. It worked. "For how well you did while getting stitched up"

Jesse smiled placing his hand on her waist before he leaned down and kissed her.

A nurse clearing her throat made them break the kiss. Realizing they were standing in front of a door they stepped away to let her get through "Sorry" Jesse apologized for them then put the straw in the pouch. Tasting the juice he turned to Beca "This is really good" He said as he looked at the pouch in his hand.

"Glad you like it" Beca took his hand as they walked the entrance's way.

"This is good" Beca closed her eyes as she rested her head on the edge of the Jacuzzi.

The Jacuzzi was outside the cabin, the view was basically, aurora lights in the sky and snow white landscape. It was breathtaking.

"mmhm" Jesse agreed, he had his hand rested on the edge as well, to keep his wound dry. He was sipping champagne as he looked at his feet. He was sitting to her right.

"I wanna go for a swim" he told her.

"Unless you mean at a swimming pool, you're not going anywhere" Beca said firmly without moving a muscle.

"But"

"Not happening," she opened her eyes and sat up "I'm too young to get called a widow, so Jesse get this idea of swimming in Nordic water out of your head" She splashed water his way.

"Becs, it could have reached my wound" He put the glass aside then looked back at her.

"I don't care about your injury" she shrugged.

"I know" he sighed "You don't care about anything but your precious music" Jesse pouted

"Yeah, that's why I'm here with you instead of being at work" she snorted slapping him playfully before she leaned in and kissed him then slowly climbed on his lap. "Also, swimming means wetting your wound dumbass" she mumbled kissing him

"I'll wrap my arm in a plastic bag" Jesse said when she broke the kiss. "And you can totally admit that you like me more that work, it's totally normal" He shrugged

"Is it?" She threw her arms around his neck. He nodded. "Why should I trust your word?" she asked leaning to kiss him again.

"I would never bullshit you." He answered her between kisses. She made a sound of acknowledgement as she deepened the kiss. She smiled when he unhooked the bikini top she was wearing.

"Hey awesome nerds!" Beca said slowly as she waved at her friends, well at the camera attached to her laptop, she was skyping with her friends. She has been ignoring phone calls and texts from them since the start of the week, and after days of not hearing from them, she decided it was time to see their faces, they were her family after all. But skyping at 11 pm wasn't what she hoped would happen. 11 pm meant 1 pm back in L.A.

Hearing her voice, they all greeted her with big smiles on their faces.

"Did we wake you up?" Chloe asked

"Nah, I was watching a movie, waiting for you guys" She stiffed a yawn.

"Did you commit a felony yet?" Amy asked

"Breaking and entering" Beca answered truthfully but they all thought she was being sarcastic

"Where's Jesse?" Emily asked

"He dozed off like an hour ago" Beca glanced at Jesse, he was peacefully sleeping next to her, smiling in his sleep.

"Shit, we should let you go before we wake him up" Chloe said.

"I'm wearing earphones, and Jesse is a heavy sleeper anyway, don't worry about it" Beca smiled at her friends. "So, how is it going people? Anything happened that I should know?" She asked

"We're the ones who should be asking the questions not the other way around, Shawshank" Amy said with a smirk on her face.

"Well you can't physically harass me, and I can easily disconnect" Beca gave them half a smirk.

"Amy is right, we're the ones who should be asking the questions." Stacie nodded. "How's the fucking?" she asked casually

"Very straight forward Stace" Beca arched an eyebrow.

"Well Jesse fell asleep watching a movie which means he's tired which answers your question Stacie" Chloe said looking at Beca before she turned to Stacie and said "Great"

"Wow" Beca sarcastically clapped. "Well done Chloe" She added "Someone tap her shoulder for me" Beca requested. She glanced at Jesse when he moaned softly, he had a small frown.

"You're in a good mood" Aubrey laughed

"She's constantly shagging her guy, I'd worry if Becs isn't in a good mood" Beca heard Amy say as she eyed Jesse.

"Just a sec guys" Beca smiled at her friends as she took off the earphones and put her laptop aside to check on Jesse. He was sleeping on the arm he had stitches on and it was clearly bothering him. "Jess" she called gently shaking him. "Lets change sides," she told him. She figured that if she got him to sleep on the side of the bed she usually slept on he'd naturally rest his weight on his left side and still face her. Being the heavy sleeper he is, she knew it would take time to get him to do what she asked him, she went for the only way she knew worked like a charm, kissing him. She laid next to him and placed kisses on his lips until he responded, she then wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him gently until he rolled on top of her, still sleepily kissing her. "Sorry for waking you up" she apologized as she slowly rolled over him and got off him without breaking their kiss not until he was laying on his left side. "Go back to sleep Jess" she said softly to his ear after pulling away, he sighed softly when she kissed his cheek before getting up, she grabbed her laptop and sat back on the bed. "Where were we?" she asked after wearing her earphones

"We thought you went to bed and forgot about us!" Chloe said eyeing her friend.

"I just had to do something" Beca ran her fingers through her hair.

"Your hair looks messy" Chloe smirked "He's sleeping, huh?"

Beca rolled her eyes then moved her laptop towards Jesse "See, sleeping" She said turning it back to her. "And the fuck would I do in five minutes?" Beca asked

"Um, you were gone for like twenty minutes" Emily answered as she looked up from her phone

"Was I?" Beca arched her eyebrows glancing at the feature on skype that counts the time you spend per video chat. "Wow. I was" she chuckled. She didn't realize that she spent that much time making out with Jesse.

"What took you so long?" Aubrey asked

"Um, I had to get Jesse to move on his other side, he hurt his shoulder and it was hurting him" she told them. Lying about his injury was only because she knew her friends too well to know that the sun will rise and their questions won't end. "Skiing" she said before any of them could ask her. "He hurt his shoulder skiing"

"Is it bad?" Stacie asked

"No, he's fine" Beca assured her then glanced at Jesse when he threw an arm on her waist and sleepily pulled her to him and when she didn't let him, he rested his head on her lap. "I'm sorry, just a sec guys" Beca put the laptop aside again and slid in a way she'd be sitting in the middle of the bed with Jesse still resting his head on her lap she reached for laptop and put it next to her.

"We should let you go to sleep" Aubrey said as Beca adjusted the laptop

"No, it's fine" Beca started to stroke Jesse's hair. "How was lunch?" she asked. Chloe had invited Stacie, Amy, Emily and Aubrey over for lunch.

"I made lasagna" Chloe informed her.

"With extra cheese" Amy added trying to do an Italian accent.

"That sounds foodgasmic" Beca smiled.

"Have you tried any of the Finnish dishes?" Aubrey asked her

"Yeah. They were good, I can't pronounce any of the stuff I ate even if I tried, but they were good" Beca nodded

"Hey Bec, we're not keeping you up to chat about food, tell us about what's going on there" Chloe said "You better start from when you first landed there until now"

Beca let out a sarcastic laugh. She knew they were going to ask so she has prepared what to say to them "Okay" she nodded "Day 1, we landed in Helsinki and traveled to the north. Day 2, we checked in at the resort, and spent the night in glass igloos where we watched the aurora lights. Day 3, we went skiing and Jesse hurt his shoulder. Day 4, we didn't do much 'cause of his injury. The log cabin we're at is fucking great."

Of course day three was a lie, but they didn't have to know yet.

"Short, classic Beca" Amy shook her head in amusement "Didn't do much as in fucked his brain out?" she guessed. Beca shamelessly nodded.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" Chloe eagerly asked

"There's a close by village we're visiting" Beca answered before yawning.

"That sounds boring" Amy remarked "I expected something like hot steamy sex in some hot spring in the wild forest"

"Amy" Aubrey nudged her

"What?" Amy rubbed her shoulder.

"There are no hot springs in Finland, you can find them in Iceland though" Emily said and they all gave her weird glances "What? I Aced maps" She shrugged.

"I'm very impressed Legacy" Beca nodded as she drew lazy trails on Jesse's shoulder.

"What time is it there?" Chloe asked

"five to midnight" Beca answered

"You should go have some sleep" Chloe smiled at her friend. "We'll talk when you're back in L.A"

"She means we'll grill you for details when you're back" Stacie explained

"Good night then, or goodbye, whatever works" Beca shrugged and after saying their goodbyes Beca disconnected and put away her laptop then slid down and curled up in Jesse's arms.

Jesse woke up before Beca, he decided wake her up in the corniest way he could think of; he ordered breakfast then drew the curtains, he watched the view out of the window, until he heard room service knocking on the door.

"Thank you" He smiled politely closing the door. Jesse walked back to the bed and climbed on it.

He ran his hand up her leg then rested his hand on her waist, unlike him Beca was a light sleeper, and his touch woke her up.

"Morning" she said in a low voice as she stretched.

"Morning" he leaned in and kissed her and laughed when she pulled him to her. "Slept well?" he asked pulling away.

"Meh" Was her answer, she played with his hair. "How's your arm?"

"I'll live" he smiled pecking her lips before he got off her and grabbed breakfast to bed.

"Thought I'd bring you breakfast in bed as a gesture to show you how grateful I am for having you as a best friend and lover" he grinned when she made a face at the word lover.

"Don't say lover, I associate that word with cheap, sappy, and very trashy romantic novels." She explained.

"Sappy romantic novels?" he arched an eyebrow

"Yeah, I read those back in college, they're hilarious" she nodded watching him sit on the bed.

"Any other words you don't like, I should know about?" he handed her a mug of coffee.

"Daddy, oh man do I hate that word, it sounds so dirty to me!" she cringed sipping her coffee "I blame porn" she said defensively at the look he was giving her "for ruining the word"

"Okay" he chuckled "Daddy lover" he teased "It could make an awful stripper name" he said thoughtfully

"Fuck you Jesse" she said between sips

"Right after breakfast" he said formally "my dearest lover"

"I hate you right now" she chuckled reaching for her phone

"What, you gonna call your daddy for help?"

"Shut up, I'm expecting an e-mail" she put her back her phone. "A work-ish e-mail from an intern, he's got demos that I told him to send" she explained.

"That's cool"

"And with the time gap, I don't know when he'd send them" Beca put back her phone and curled up next to Jesse as she sipped her coffee.

"I had a very nice dream last night" Jesse shared with her as he sipped orange juice.

"Yeah?" she titled her head reaching for the toast.

"Yeah, it was basically making out with you, as I said it was nice" he nodded

"It wasn't a dream" she mumbled as she chewed her toast "We did that" she added after swallowing. "I was up video chatting with the girls, they said to say hi to you. Anyway, you were in pain because of sleeping on your arm and I had to get you to sleep on your left side" she shrugged "Kissing you helped" she leaned over and pecked his lips.

"Okay" he said slowly. When she was done inhaling her breakfast, he moved it aside and climbed on top of her.

"Sappy romantic novels, huh?" he leaned in and kissed her behind the ear.

"You should read them, they're like a cross between soap and softcore porn" she tilted her head

"I'm intrigued" he said against her lips "do you remember any of them?"

"Um, not really. But it's usually scandalous, and somehow forbidden love and all that shit. They'd make great movies—I have a very great Idea" she said sarcastically

"do tell please" Jesse smiled

"People love crappy romantic movies, I'm gonna produce a movie, you'll do the sappiest score ever in the history of film, we'll make a lot of money and never have to work again"

"Only if you could, not work" He sighed closing the distance between them

"It's a great idea" she mumbled between kisses

"Very" he chuckled. All talking stopped when she wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

"Making out with you is seriously one of my favorite things to do, lover" Jesse pulled away to catch his breath.

"Stop saying lover, or else-"

"Or else what?" he cut her off by kissing her forcefully

"I—won't—let you—touch me" she answered breathlessly

"Just say the words, and I'll stop" he moved to her neck while his hand grabbed her butt.

"Jesse?"

He pulled away from her neck and looked up

"Take off your t-shirt" she ordered "And get that smug grin off your pretty face!" she rested her weight on her elbows.

"You talking down to me is such a turn on Becs"

"Then fucking off with your t-shirt off already!" She ordered in mock annoyance while rolling her eyes.

"Is this how you treat all your toy boys?" he asked jokingly while taking off his t-shirt

"No, only the one I love" she pulled his down

In the small village they visited, much to Beca's delight, they found a bar. Jesse being the social one, made friends with most people in the bar, who were mainly elderly while Beca got hammered, and chatted with an old Finnish man who she didn't understand a word he was saying nor did he but he was drunk so it didn't matter, and her excuse for getting drunk was; they serve damn good alcohol.

"It's all about the tempo" Beca said before sipping from her whiskey. "When you figure that out, the rest just comes to you"

"sinun täytyy alikypsentää liha" (you need to under-cook the meat)

"Exactly man!" Beca nodded "Oh I love this song!" she exclaimed when Kiss me I'm shitface started playing, she then turned to Jesse who was on her other side.

"It's a great song" Jesse said calling for a refill. "You know Dropkick Murphys?" he questioned looking back at her.

"Great band" she hiccuped. She nodded along to the song while stomping her foot before she jumped off the stool and started singing along to the chorus to Jesse.

"So kiss me, I'm shitfaced

I'm soaked, I'm soiled and brown

in the trousers, she kissed me

And I only bought her one round"

She laughed at the look on Jesse's face, he was amused by her yell/singing and the fact that she knew dropkick Murphys fascinated him. Not to mention how she was entertaining everyone at the bar by her drunk singing. As she was about to sing the next part, Jesse cupped her face and kissed her until she pulled away and ran to the restroom to throw up. And naturally he ran after her.

After, throwing everything she drank up, he helped her up and ordered a cup of coffee for her. This bar served good coffee. He thought she'd prefer to leave when she started to feel better but she didn't.

"Let's play pool, Jess" She nodded at the pool table. "Winner gets to make the other do something with/for them" she winked

"Anything?" his eyes light up

"Anything except swimming in cold water here," she said in a bored tone. He groaned "So you in?" she asked

"Hell yeah!"

Beca won and she had Jesse do all the souvenir shopping for her friends and family while she just carried the bags with him.

The next few days passed too fast; they did a lot of tobogganing, had snow fighting, went on a Reindeer sleigh ride through the Arctic wilderness, they had fun.

"We should definitely come back here" Jesse said he zipped his suitcase

"Totally" Beca agreed. She looked around the cabin checking whether or not she left anything out.

"You all set?" She asked watching him put his suitcase down.

"Yep" he nodded taking off his shirt.

"What are you doing?" she laughed watching him glance at the time.

"We still got some time left" he shrugged picking her up and help her wrap her legs around his waist. "For some loving making" he added supporting her weight with his hand. "With my best friend and wife" he smiled watching her lean in to kiss him.
