Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

After a Thursday that included finals, playing Santa with Jarod at the Perk, delivering presents to Parker, and then running the coffee cart, Isabel was ready for a quiet day.

The door's open and Isabel is sprawled on her bed watching the few Christmas movies they didn't get to watch last night.

Greg held up a sprig of something green and dangled it over their heads. "What d'you suppose this could be?"

Isabel smiled and tipped her face up to him. "Gee, I wonder."

"Did you know mistletoe is a parasite?" he asked, grinning. "People don't usually talk about that part because it's icky."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I did," she nodded. "But it think the lovely Christmas tradition more then makes up for it. And you know how important traditions are to me."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"That's true." He pretended to think. "Now...what was the tradition that goes with this plant?

Isabel grinned, tangled her fingers in his shirt fron, then pulled him down and kissed him soundly.

Greg smiled against her mouth. "Oh, I remember now," he murmured before returning the kiss.

"This might be one of my best presents yet this Christmas," Isabel said. She nipped lightly at his lip before pulling away. "Want your presents?"

"Is helium a noble gas?" Greg asked, raising his brow. "Um, that was a 'yes.'"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Gee," she said affectionately. Isabel pulled several brightly colored boxes out of the pile and handed them over. "Merry Christmas!"

Greg grinned as he unwrapped each one. "Merry Christmas. Thank you," he said, and snagged her around the waist for another kiss.

"Just don't hurt shoot Peter too many times?" she asked in between kisses. "And I loaded a few pictures into the frame for you. There's a few from rafting and some other ones."

Greg smiled. "Okay, want yours?" he asked, leaning out into the hallway to grab a bag (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/ladies/5981/).

"If I said no would you believe me?" Isabel teased, eyeing the bag eagerly.

"Then I'd be sad and you'd never get it," he said, pouting.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We can't have that. So yes! I want my presents!" And for added measure, she bounced.

Greg handed her the bag, and stuffed his hands back in his pocket. No, he wasn't touching anything inside his jacket pocket. Don't be silly.

Isabel opened the bag, laughed, then put t-shirt right on. "I love it," she smiled. "It's perfect."

Greg smiled. "And it goes really well with this," he said, pulling a little box (http://www.zales.com/largeImage/index.jsp?PID=2523003) from his pocket.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It does, doesn't it?" She took it from the box and put it on, then smiled up at him. "What do you think?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"I think you look gorgeous," he said, and moved to kiss her again. "But then, I'm a little biased."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Just a little," Isabel murmured. "But I won't hold it against you."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Not even if I ask nicely?" he murmured, pulling her against him.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well...if you insist," she whispered, slipping her arms around his neck.

"I'm very pushy," Greg said solemnly, kissing her on the nose.
