[It was either Bond or James T. Kirk, and I'd rather not make a Star Trek reference...orz]

The warmth of her light-hearted smile made Vash blush slightly as he in turn began to smile as well. "Yeah..." slowly he placed his hand on top of hers and held it, "Merry Christmas." He couldn't help but turn his head slightly away from her to hide the reddening color that had appeared in his cheeks. It wasn't often that he did this sort of thing, and frankly he felt it was a bit nerve-wracking to say the least.

"Was it too soon??" he thought, "Or should have I gone in for a kiss?" "No it's too early!" Hidden beneath his rosy tint was a cacophony of endless questions and rebuttals banging across his mind and giving the poor Swiss a bit of a headache. But he was not about to compromise the wonderful situation he was in. The headache was worth it.

One question however did manage to stand out from the others though. "Do you want to exchange gifts now?" he asked meekly, trying to bring his gaze back to her but failing, "Or would you like wait until midnight?"

He quickly felt along the side of his jacket to make sure the present was still in place and gave a small sigh of relief when he felt the gift. It took a bit of work to get it but Vash didn't mind making more of an effort if it was for Lenna.

[...at least it wouldn't be a Star Wars reference. >A>]

As he turned away in embarrassment, Lenna giggled at his behavior and wondered where the usually confident Vash was. She guessed that even the hardened cop could have a cute side to him as well. Once he grasped her hand in his however, she felt her own face heat up. Vash was never the best at expressing himself, she knew that but the small gestures were enough for her. The actions of endearment towards her made her heart beat faster.

Looks like waiting all these years had paid off.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by his question and the more she thought about it, the more it seemed like he was actually nervous about tonight. She smiled again in an attempt to provide some solace for him and replied, "Well, either way could go..." she backtracked as his expression worsened, "We could do it now if you want."
