    "Aww come on Crocodile. I really need help with this!" You whine through the phone. 

    "I said no ____" Crocodile sighs, "I have work to do." You frown thinking for a second before smiling mischievously.  

    "I'll give you some of the cigars my dad brought back from when he went on his last business trip. You know the real expensive ones."  You hear him let out another sigh on the other end of the phone and hold your breath. 

    "Okay fine. When do you want to go?" You dance around holding in a squeal of excitement. 

    “How about tomorrow evening. Maybe around five?”  

    Alright see you then. I’ll swing by your apartment and pick you up.” You hear a click and finally let out a high pitched squeal. Finally you had gotten your long time crush to agree to go Christmas shopping with you. You hadn’t told him exactly what it was that you were going to be shopping for, but he could figure that out tomorrow.  

     

     

    "I'm leaving." Crocodile says staring at the room filled with Christmas trees.  

    "No please I really want your help picking one!" You plead, peering up at him through your lashes. He watches you for a few minutes wiping a hand over his face before letting out a deep breath.  

    "Oh fine but make it quick." You walk through the aisles of trees inspecting them while pulling Crocodile behind you by his elbow. After thirty minutes of looking for a tree you had seen all the ones inside the room. You frown eyeing two of them that you had narrowed it down to. "Just pick one and let's go." Crocodile mutters. 

    "I don't really like either of them though." You say tilting your head looking at the trees from a different angle hoping that the change would make them look better.  

    "Why don't we just cut down our own then." Crocodile mumbles sarcasm lacing his tone.  

    "That is a great idea!" You say hopping in place. "Come on don't you have a place out in the mountains? I bet there are beautiful trees out there!" He looks up from his phone with a blank face. 

    "No." He says slipping his phone into his pocket and crossing his arms across his chest. You pout at him. 

    "Pretty please Crocky!" He winces at your nickname for him frowning and lighting a cigar. He watches you sighing. 

    "Why can't I ever say no to you and mean it?" He sighs. You giggle grabbing his arm again and pulling him from the store to his car. The two of you get in driving to his cabin about an hour out of town. After arriving, you pull him through the powdery snow that had fallen earlier that morning, to the forest behind the cabin. He stops by a shed, pulling out a saw, and following behind you. You skip through the snow looking at the different trees around you. You stoop over to look at one, seeing if it had any dead branches before hearing Crocodile mutter behind you. You frown a bit turning to him.  

    "You've been grumpy all day." You say sadly, watching him as he plays with his phone.  

    "I didn't really want to be here." He replies not looking up from his phone. You look at your feet sadly.  

    "Well I'm sorry that me wanting to spend time with the person I love is so troubling." You mumble turning and stalking off to the cabin. Crocodile watches after you his eyes widened in shock. Once you reach the cabin you stand on your toes and grab the key from the top of the door, unlocking it and going inside. Grabbing some wood from beside the door you throw it into the fireplace and light it, sitting in front of it. You sigh wringing your fingers together sadly. You hadn't meant to snap at him....or tell him that you were in love with him. Hell he had every right to be upset after you had drug him around all day. You curl up on the couch in front of the fire and fall asleep thinking about how to fix what you had done. 

    A little while later you are awoken by the door slamming open. You sit up from the couch quickly looking at the door, finding Crocodile dragging a large tree behind him. You raise an eyebrow at him as he drags the tree into the living room. He disappears out the door again only to return a few minutes later with a tree stand.  He doesn't say anything as he sets up the tree in the stand filling it with water. You watch him quietly, unsure of what to say. The tree he had brought in was beautiful, the biggest tree you had ever had. 

    "Um...Crocodile. What are you doing?" You finally ask as he finishes fixing the branches of the tree. He looks over at you with a smirk. 

    "I had to find the perfect tree for my girl didn't I?" He grins at that walking over to you and wrapping his arms around you. "I didn't realize you just wanted to spend time with me. I love you ____" He whispers kissing the top of your head. You blush giggling lightly and throwing your arms around him.  

    "I love you too Crocodile."
