Author's Note: Here's another one! I'm trying to do one a day, so I can fit them all in before Christmas :) Maybe Olicity tomorrow? I also want to do Karamel, ColdCanary and 10Rose. Any others you want me to cover?

"Didn't expect to see you here." Max leaned against the wall, and only Alex's agent trained kept her from jumping in surprise.

"Why?" She rejoined. "Because this is a party where only rich snobs are invited?"

Max laughed softly. "Partially that. Partially because I saw you spending Christmas Eve with your family."

Alex tilted her head toward him in a slight nod. "Fair. In truth, I'm on a mission for the DEO. Cadmus has sent out another message, and we thought that their next strike could be here. So I came to keep watch out."

"I didn't know you cared." Came the teasing response. Alex rolled her eyes. "While you're waiting," Max continued, holding out his hand invitingly. "Care to dance?"

She considered for a moment. "Why not." He looked surprised, but didn't comment as she took his hand and let her lead him off.

They danced in companionable silence for a moment. It was a silence that Alex was only able to achieve with a few people. She was surprised, though, really, not too much, that Max was one of them.

He did, eventually, break the silence. "Have any plans for Christmas?"

"My mother is coming, and Kara invited her new boyfriend, Mon-El. And I'm sure James and Winn will show up. Winn always seems to know where the best food is." She shook her head in fond amusement that the thought of the man that had recently become her friend. "I'd invite you, but I don't know how Kara would take it. Or Winn, for that matter. He might get too excited and explode."

Max gave a real laugh this time, but his eyes were serious. "You'll be the odd one out."

She blinked. "Was that you hinting at me to invite you?"

"Do you want it to be?"

"Oh, so we're being cryptic, are we?" She teased, gratefully falling back into their usual banter after the unusual moment of seriousness. Max smiled, but his eyes wasn't in it. He didn't respond.

They danced for awhile longer, again in silence, though this one was slightly more uncomfortable. Alex wouldn't go so far to say awkward, exactly... but there was something off in the stiff way that Max held himself, hands on her hips.

"Are you ok?" She wasn't good at keeping silences.

"What?" He frowned. "I'm fine."

"Ok." She didn't press him. If he wanted to tell her what was up with him, he would.

He did. "It's just that I- I don't actually have anyone to celebrate Christmas with. You know, genius never takes a break and all that." Max was trying to make light of the situation, she could tell.

"No family?" Alex regretted saying it immediately after she did, and quickly covered up. "Friends? Staff, even?"

"My staff spend the holiday at home." Now he leaned foreword, lip just brushing the shell of her ear as he spoke. "And you, Agent Danvers, are my only friend."

She shivered, and pulled away a little bit. "Well... if you put it like that... I guess my sister wouldn't mind too much."

Max started to smile. "Was that an invitation I just heard?"

"Don't push your luck Max."

She gasped as he leaned down and kissed her. It was completely out of the blue, but Alex didn't even think about pulling away. Instead, she kissed him back, quite hard.

When he pulled away, he pointed at the ceiling. "There was mistletoe."

She hit him in the arm.

Author's Note: Ahh, I forgot how much I loved them. I watched a few of their scenes before this, trying to get in character, and I realized just how much I miss them on Supergirl :( I'm cool with Alex being gay but... still... They were an OTP...
