December 15th – Lights
'Come on,' Su laughed, her head resting on Kuvira's lap. 'There has to be one thing you don't despise about Christmas.'
'I don't despise it', Kuvira sighed, toying with Su's hands as she spoke. 'I'm just saying I find the whole shebang pretty overrated.'
'You are such a spoilsport,' Su replied, and Kuvira blew her a raspberry, letting go of one of her hands to tangle it within the older woman's silver tresses.
'Fine, if you really have to know, I do like the lights.'
'The lights?'
'Yes. I do like seeing the streets all prettied up and colourful. Does that make me a terribly corny person?'
'No,' Suyin replied gently. 'It just proves I was right. There is a soft spot in that stomach of yours after all,' she added, poking her finger at her former student's belly.
Kuvira caught her hand and raised it to her lips, pecking it briefly.
'Didn't you know that already? After all, didn't I fall for you?'
