She couldn't say, exactly, when she'd made the decision.

If only because it felt as if there really wasn't a decision to make. The remaining distance between herself and Wesley had felt far more bearable with a mystical castle and the majority of a town separating them. Fred wasn't as certain about distance making things fonder anymore, so much as manageable. But now he was just across the hall.

Just across. And it might as well have been the same space, for all the protection from her own thoughts that offered. You couldn't see through walls, at least not in the traditional sense. But you could feel heat through them. It might be winter in Paris, but it certainly wasn't in Fred's small studio apartment.

And now? It was Wesley's birthday.

Maybe, back at home, that might've looked entirely different. Dinner, maybe. Another not-quite-as-planned date. And there always seemed to be some distraction or the other. But they weren't in Paradisa, they were in Paris.

And now she was back to the part to it not really being a decision.

It didn't take much to break into his apartment. She'd never had much trouble with locks, not when she set her mind to them. Wesley was still at work, which suited her plans perfectly. After all, if he'd been here? She might not've been allowed much further than the living room. But Wesley wasn't there. And that afforded her plenty of time to locate a handful of candles tucked under one cabinet, and to light them along the perimeters of his bedroom. Even if truthfully the lights coming from the window were far more appealing.

A bottle of wine and two glasses sat quietly on his dresser. Because it was Paris, and there was more definitely wine. Either way, her lack of deciding aside? Whatever Wesley decided, they could still spend the evening together.

Finally she settled herself -- and a familiar bit of blue fabric -- onto his bed.

And waited.

Wes leaned close, trying to calm his wildly beating heart and to regulate his already shortened breaths. He watched her start to undress him, one button at a time and it was both maddening and wonderful to see her doing it at such an unhurried pace. But he forced himself to hold still, even though every part of himself seemed coiled for action, aching for her touch. If only he knew a spell which could magic every scrap of clothing away in an instant...

But he could see that Fred was enjoying the slow removal and he wouldn't have wanted to deny her that, even if he had known such a spell.

Evening of the 27th

Wes had been sitting on the couch of his apartment, reading going over his research notes, contemplating whether he should do a load of laundry and wondering if Fred might like to order something in when he thought he heard her calling him from the hallway.

He got up and popped his head around the door-frame.

"Fred? Is everything alright?"

"What on earth is that in your hair?" He came forward to touch it, his brow furrowing slightly, but since she seemed in a chipper mood, he wasn't too concerned. In fact, her smile was rather infectious. "Been battling with spiders, have we?"

It was still early, but Wes was wide awake. He was rolled onto his side, head propped up on his hand, watching Fred sleep. He couldn't help it, he was still trying to remind himself that this was real. That it wasn't a dream he was going to be cruelly woken up from at any moment. Fred was actually in his bed, lying next to him. And hogging the covers, apparently. He smiled to himself and pondered whether he should try to ease some back onto his side.

It was Christmas morning, however, and he could afford to be charitable.

Unable to stop himself, Wes leaned down to press a whisper-soft kiss on the crook of her bare shoulder.

"We're going somewhere? Hang on, then, let me fetch my coat." He went to go do that, not releasing her hand, then locked his apartment door and pocketed the key.

"Lead on..."

Wherever Fred wanted to go, she was going to have to be their guide.

"Morning." He shifted back, making sure she had plenty of room to sprawl out, but then pressed close again, one arm casually draping over her middle. "I didn't mean to wake you. It's still quite early, actually..."

"Merry Christmas." Since she wasn't objecting to being woken up, he leaned in to place a firmer kiss on the side of her neck. "How can you possibly be cold when you've stolen all of my blankets?" He teased, his lips brushing against her ear.

"Oh, I see. The covers were suffering from neglect." He chuckled softly and wrapped her more closely in his embrace since the blankets on their own weren't apparently sufficient to ward off the morning chill.

"Well, it's a good thing you're here to make sure they get the care and attention they deserve, then." He murmured, happily pressing against Fred's back and curling himself around her to warm her up. "I'm willing to let you win this custody battle."

Wes was immediately intrigued, of course, and eagerly helped her to clear away the crates.

"I think I know what you've discovered, Fred. A secret entrance to the catacombs running under the city. I've read about them, but never had a chance to explore them for myself. How did you know this entrance was here?"

"I just meant that there will be some things I'll contest more than others. The best victories are hard won, after all."

He wasn't certain he ever wanted to get out of bed again, now that Fred was snuggled so close, wrapped in his arms.

"It's a good thing we all have the day off, because I'm perfectly content where I am, right now. Unless it's to fetch you your present, or some breakfast. Or both."

"Yes, it is, but you don't--" Have to go and fetch it just yet, he was about to say. But Fred was already wriggling out of his grasp, intent on dashing across the hall.

Wes soon realised what was about to happen, but was too slow in lunging to help tug the blankets free and watched rather helplessly as she tripped over and effectively left him lying now completely uncovered on the bed.

"Fred! Are you all right?" He was trying hard to suppress the urge to chuckle at the mishap and how exposed he now was, just in case she had injured herself in the fall.
