A/N: Hey everyone! Today's story was prompted to me my sodapopp99 on Tumblr. Just a little funny bit for you today, with a hint of shippiness. Enjoy!(Note, we are now back in present day. So yesterday's story would be 2 years after this one)
Chapter 13(present day): I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
It was late one night at the Library. The Librarians had been on a long mission that day, and upon their return, had decided to stay in their rooms there.
Cassandra couldn't sleep. The things they'd seen on the case today had been pretty awful, and nightmares plagued her. Now, she wandered the shelves, looking for something to take her mind off of the day, or if that wasn't possible, to keep her occupied all night.
"Hey" Jake said, suddenly appearing next to her. "You couldn't sleep either?"
"Nope"
They simply walked together in silence. There was nothing to say. They each searched for their escape, but now looked at the things around them a little less frequently. Even without words, walking together was comforting.
It wasn't long before they bumped into Ezekiel, quiet and sulken for one of the first times since they'd known him. They nodded their heads at each other and he simply joined them. The Librarians walked together, still not exchanging a word.
As they got closer to the annex, they thought they heard giggling breaking through the silence. Confused, they tiptoed around the corner. Ezekiel spotted it first.
"You two have got to see this" he whispered, his classic smile back on his face as he laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Cassandra asked. "Did someone break in?"
"Depends on who you consider the people down there to be."
"What are you talking about Jones?" Jake sighed, too exhausted to argue with the kid.
"Just come on!" He motioned his hand towards the balcony railing. Jake and Cassandra followed him hesitantly.
It was all they could do not to scream. Eve was standing there, kissing…Santa Claus? They couldn't deny it; there they were, kissing under the mistletoe: Eve and a man in a big red suit.
"What?" Jake expressed. Cassandra was rendered speechless. Ezekiel was laughing up a storm next to them.
"Please tell me that's not actually the Santa Claus that we've met." Cassandra said.
"I can't believe you two haven't figured it out yet" Ezekiel roared. "It makes this whole thing even funnier"
Jake was about to ask him what he meant, when the kissing stopped for a moment, and the man in the Santa suit turned just enough for the LITs to get a glance at his face.
"Oh my god" Cassandra gasped, her hands flying to her face.
"Is that?" Jake began.
"Yep" Ezekiel said.
There it was before them, the strangest thing they'd ever seen in the library: Flynn was dressed like Santa Claus, kissing Eve under the mistletoe. The whole group was laughing then, trying hard not to be heard.
The scene didn't stop. They kissed again and then she tickled him. Jake and Cassandra stopped laughing, while Ezekiel still managed to find the whole thing hysterical.
"Alright" Jake urged. "Let's go"
"Are you kidding?" Ezekiel exclaimed. "Don't you wanna stay to watch the show?"
"No! What the hell is wrong with you Jones?"
Cassandra jogged away from the scene, but Ezekiel stayed rooted in place, his eyes still glued on Eve and Flynn, who had now returned to kissing, and hadn't stopped. He'd just pulled out his phone when Cassandra turned back, grabbed him by the arm, and dragged him away.
"Oh come on!" he exclaimed. "This would be perfect blackmail!" Cassandra sighed and shook her head.
"We really need to have a discussion about your moral compass" Jake grumbled.
Ezekiel still laughed, trying to look back and get a video as Cassandra dragged him further and further away from the scene.
A/N: Well that's it! Hope you enjoyed the foolishness. I'm super excited for tomorrow's story! See you then with "Baby Its Cold Outside" I think you're gonna love it. 12 days to Christmas! Bye LITs!
