I Wonder

"Henry, please be careful up there." Charlotte looked up at her husband with a worried expression on her face, watching as he put the star on the Institute's Christmas tree. Will had thrown himself in an armchair across the room, and he watched with an amused expression on his face. The fire burned strong in the fireplace as Henry stretched.

"Not to worry Lottie." He said with a grunt. "I have everything under control."

"Henry with things under control?" Will scoffed, earning himself a look from Charlotte. One hand gripped at the head of the ladder and he stretched the final inch to place the star on the tree.

"Ah. See, I told you!" He leaned back, admiring his handiwork.

"Henry, please come…oh!" Charlotte covered her mouth with her hands and watched, horrified, as her husband lost his balance. His arms pin-wheeled and he let out a yelp as he fell from the ladder, hitting the floor with a thud.

"Oh dear," he groaned and Charlotte ran over to him, kneeling down.

"I told you to be careful." Henry rested his hands on her shoulders and pulled her down for a quick kiss.

"You were being too distracting Lottie dear." Charlotte smiled and Will rolled his eyes.

"If I wanted to see this, I could've just spied on Jem and Tessa."

"Spied on us?" Will looked up to see his parabatai standing in the doorway, his fingers laced with Tessa's. "I thought you were better than that William." Jem smiled.

"You should know not to put anything past me, James." He and Tessa stepped into the living room, their eyes glancing over the Christmas tree.

"It looks beautiful," Tessa said, squeezing Jem's hand and smiling up at him.

"It does look lovely, doesn't it?" He took a step forward, abruptly stopping when he nearly ran into Henry lying on the floor and Charlotte kneeling over him. Jem cleared his throat. "Are you alright down there Henry? Charlotte?"

"Yes," Henry said simply, gazing at Charlotte. "Perfectly fine." Will glanced between the two couples and heaved himself out of the chair.

"You guys are making me queasy. I'll be back for dinner." He left the room and Jem pulled Tessa closer to him, his hand resting at the small of her back.

"Jem," she whispered, glancing up at him with her hands pressing against his chest. "We aren't alone."

"I am aware." He moved his lips close to her ear. "Look up Tess." She glanced skyward and smiled when she saw the mistletoe hanging above them.

"Hm," she said, biting her lip and looking back at Jem. "I wonder what that is for."

"Yes," he murmured, leaning down closer. "I wonder." He pressed his lips gently to hers, pushing her closer to his body. Her chest was pressed to his, and her hands slowly slid up his chest to wrap around his neck.

Slowly, he pulled back, teasing her. He rested his forehead against hers, grinning.

"Merry Christmas Tess."

"Merry Christmas Jem."

Short and sweet. There it is. Hope you all enjoyed! Please leave a review and let me know what you think. :)
