Arizona’s POV

The tension hung in the air, so chokingly thick Arizona was surprised she could still breathe. The silence between the four women was deafening, only being broken by the low hum of the car engine. What surprised the blonde was that the surgeon driving, and the one next to Arizona herself seemed to be extremely tense, and she could see Teddy kept shooting looks at her in her rear view mirror. Despite the obvious discomfort of the other women, Callie, or at least what Arizona could see of her, looked extremely calm. The PEDs surgeon realised she’d been set up by Teddy, and also realised that Callie had known she was going, did that mean she wanted her there, that she didn’t mind she was there, or did it mean she didn’t care if she was there or not…

Callie’s POV

She couldn’t turn around. She wouldn’t turn around to look at her. If she did look, she’d lose her resolve. If she was honest, she didn’t know if that would be a good thing or not. Callie realised she was grasping the seat tightly; she was going to kill Cristina Yang, as soon as she got her alone. She’d tricked her into this. She had known Teddy was going with Arizona when she’d asked her to come with her. Was Cristina that heartless, that she didn’t know how much pain Callie had been through, how much Arizona had been going through? And that they were still going through it? Cristina was going to be in a world full of pain when she got her hands on her.

Arizona’s POV

Pulling into the car park a few blocks away from where the carolling was being held, they could hear the music and chatter, and general buzz that an event like this could create. Everyone filed out the car, falling in a row, Callie standing next to Cristina, with Arizona in front with Teddy. Arizona shot Teddy a death look, which in her own defence she looked ashamed enough to look away from her glare. Arizona refused to look behind them, but could hear Callie’s boots rhythmic beat on the sidewalk following the two blondes. Why hadn’t she picked a longer coat, it was freezing! Her hands were jammed into her coat pockets, and still the cold seemed to penetrate the fabric, causing her to shake slightly. “It wasn’t my idea”, the taller blonde said in a hushed whisper, without even looking at her. Likewise without looking at Teddy, Arizona responded in a low hiss, “It would have been nice to be warned!” She shot her another dirty look, before her face softened, “Did she know I was coming?” she wasn’t sure what answer she wanted to hear. Teddy slightly shook her head slightly from side to side, “Not until she was in the car”. Arizona lowered her head in quiet defeat, so Callie would probably still be avoiding her if she could. “Right” came the small crushed voice, from her own lips.

Callie’s POV

Callie had hung back allowing the two blonde women to go on ahead of her and her roommate before grabbing a hold of the smaller surgeon’s arm. “Why didn’t you tell me?” Callie’s voice came out fast and franticly. Cristina pulled her arm away, and started to follow the other women, “You wouldn’t have come if you knew”, she stated. That was true, she wouldn’t have, and she’d been avoiding Arizona for the last few days, just for this woman to sabotage her plans.

Arizona looked cold. Her small frame seemed to be hunched, in a fruitless battle against the cold. Why did the blonde never seem to dress appropriately of Seattle weather? Every so often she saw Teddy throwing the smaller blonde a concerned look, and then realised that they were talking, and knew on instinct, their conversation topic was Callie herself. The notion didn’t frighten her, until she saw Arizona’s head drop, and her shoulders slump. The sight torn at her heartstrings, she wanted so badly to walk up to her, and wrap her arms around the smaller body, and lose herself in her warmth, in her smell, her touch, her love…

Arizona’s POV

Arizona didn’t want to be here, she didn’t feel festive. She didn’t feel full of the holiday spirit, or happiness. She felt insignificant, lost and alone. The women had joined the crowd of people all standing around the small band which were playing familiar Christmas carols and hymns. Soon after, someone had come around handing out leaflets with the words to the songs on for those, who like Arizona weren’t that familiar with all the songs.

A song which Arizona recognised vaguely was being played, and she could just hear Teddy’s voice next to her singing along. Cristina like Arizona was doing a sort of hum to the tune, and only joining in at the chorus. What was distracting the PEDs surgeon however was the voice she could hear quite clearly over the rest around her, the same voice which always made her smile when she heard the owner singing while cooking, or in the shower. The owner which was standing inches behind her, so close she could practically feel the heat radiating from her. Arizona’s hands began to shake slightly both from the cold, and the sheer closeness she was finding herself in, to the woman she loved. She wanted so badly to turn around and kiss the mouth that beautiful voice was coming from, not caring who around them saw, but she couldn’t. Not anymore. She felt Callie moving behind her, and saw her hand come around her right hand side, holding a pair of black gloves. Arizona turned slightly to look her in the eye, and got a nod in return. Arizona smiled slightly, taking the gloves, accidently touching the Latina’s hand and felt the usual electricity shooting between them. Arizona gulped as she put the leaflet she was holding in between her teeth, pulling on Callie’s gloves. They were a little too big for her, but they’d keep her hands warm, and they were already…warm. Arizona realised Callie had just taken off her own gloves to give them to her. She took the piece of paper from her mouth, and looked back over her shoulder, to see that the dark haired woman was looking deliberately at anywhere but where the blonde stood.

Callie POV

It was taking all her self control to not move from where she stood. Half her was telling her to wrap her arms around the small blonde stood in front of her, while the other was telling her to run. Her body however was listening to neither, and instead it was torturing her, by standing so close to the smaller woman. Callie hadn’t been given a word sheet when the guy had given them out earlier, not that it mattered she knew a large amount of them from her childhood, and for the ones she didn’t she could see over Arizona’s shoulder, the paper she was holding. The paper started to shake slightly. Callie had to hold in a chuckle, Arizona really never did dress for the weather. The raven haired surgeon slipped off her own gloves, without thought, and passed them to the cold blonde. She hadn’t planned that Arizona would turn to look her in the eye, and when she did it totally took her off guard. Her breath caught, and she could see the questioning look in her ex’s eyes. Callie nodded slightly, confirming it was okay to take them. Arizona turned back to take them, brushing her fingers along her palm in doing so, causing a tingle to shoot through Callie’s whole body. The blonde thankfully didn’t seem to notice Callie’s body tense at the touch. Callie couldn’t look at the small blonde any longer, and settled her eyes on the band she could see over the top of people’s heads. She however could feel the smaller woman’s gaze on her, but refused to meet it.

Arizona’s POV

A few more songs were sung, some Arizona recognised, but on the whole there was more she didn’t. As the last notes were played on the last song, a young man appeared on the small constructed stage, speaking into the microphone, “Give around of applause for the band”. Everyone clapped, some more lively than others, before the young man continued on, “Thank you for such a good turn out. I know how cold it is. There are a few stalls behind the stage, which will open as soon as I finish, which will be selling some hot food.” A small cheer resounded through the crowd, causing the man to smile and say before stepping down, “I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and a fulfilling New Year. Thank you.”

Arizona felt everyone start to move in all directions, but was every aware of two things. One, Cristina and Teddy pushed their way immediately towards the stage, and two, Callie was being pushed into her back by the crowd’s movement. The small blonde battled her way through, seeing a thinner gap of people in the opposite direction to the stage (and the food), gasping slightly in relief as she cleared the crowd, stopping beneath a tree. She turned to see Callie pushing herself free as well, looking slightly dishevelled. Arizona sat on the ground as she fought a slight chuckle, as Callie shot a glare at a random passer by. Resting the back of her head on the tree behind her, she chuckled slightly, “I think we’ve just been dumped for hot food”. Callie chuckled faintly back; “Bitches” was her simple reply, sitting next to the blonde surgeon.

Silence soon fell between them, as the crowd started to disband in all direction. From here Arizona could see there was more than a “few” stalls selling things. There were stalls selling soup, burgers, hot drinks, and yet she couldn’t see the women who’d abandoned them. She heard rather than saw Callie’s grasp and slight chatter of her teeth in the cold. Arizona felt the guilt wash over her instantly. “Sorry, here” she began to remove the black gloves from her own hands, and was stopped by Callie shaking her head. “No, you keep them, I’m thinking about getting a coffee. Do you want one?” Arizona would be lying if she said she wasn’t surprised by the offer, “Err…yeah sure. Hang on I’ll get you the money for mine,” and made a move to stand, was haltered by Callie’s hand on her arm. “It’s okay I’ll get them”, she said with a smile, and stood. “Don’t move or I’ll never find you”, Callie said looking her straight in the eye. She wasn’t sure what made her do it, but Arizona feeling uncomfortable under the look she was being given looked away, breaking the spell, causing the dark haired woman to walk away.
