Summary: Lisbon is having a very bad day, but no one's even at work yet. What could possibly make it worse? Oh right, Jane and Christmas decorations.

Rating: I'd say probably a K+, maybe?

Jane and Lisbon

Lisbon arrived at the CBI, early as usual, on a regular Monday morning. She didn't see anyone in the lobby on her way in, which she found weird but thought nothing of. She was too busy thinking of all the complaints Jane had gotten on their last case and of the obscene amount of paperwork that needed filling out.

When she walked up to the elevator she pressed the button to go up, as usual. But what wasn't usual was that the elevator button didn't light up when she pressed it. So Lisbon pressed it again, and again when it didn't do anything to indicate that the elevator was on its way. Lisbon grew quickly frustrated with the elevator and after jabbing it a few more times, stormed up the stairs.

As she climbed the stairs, she deliberated on what could have possibly happened to the elevator to make it unavailable for use. She ran a bunch of theories through her head before deciding that this had Jane written all over it. It was probably one of his stunts, as if he hadn't had enough stunts during their case! She mentally cursed, and then cursed out loud when she tripped on the stairs and spilled her morning coffee on her shirt.

When she finally reached her floor, she went straight to the washroom to try to get the stain out of her shirt. Since she had taken off her coat upon arrival she'd spilled her hot coffee on her crisp, white blouse. Just her luck. She was having a bad day and the official work day hadn't even started yet. To Lisbon's great surprise, she couldn't get the stain out of her shirt; of course. She didn't want too put her blouse back on since it was all wet so she put on her coat. Her coat that she was wearing today didn't zip up all the way and it was revealing a little more skin than she felt was appropriate for work. But she didn't see many people on her way to the washroom; actually, she didn't see anyone at all. Huh.

She walked briskly to her office, not seeing or hearing anybody. That was weird but Lisbon figured half would call in sick because they were hung over from the holiday on the weekend and the rest would arrive late for the same reason. Typical. Lisbon went into her office and locked the door, the blinds were already closed. She took her coat off as it was starting to itch and started rummaging through her desk drawers looking for her spare blouse.

"Hey Lisbon! Wha…?" Jane trailed off. Lisbon shot up and turned around to face her intruder.

"Jane! What are you doing? I locked the door!" Lisbon spluttered.

"I could ask you the same question." Jane said simply. While Lisbon's face was red with embarrassment, Jane's expression was of utmost calm and serenity.

"I… the elevator wasn't working so I had to take the stairs and I spilled my coffee. But when I tried to get it out in the sink, the stain would come out so I needed my spare shirt and then you came in!" Lisbon said half-hysterically. "Don't look at me!"

"Ah, I see. But Lisbon, you needn't be embarrassed. You look much better out of your shirt than I ever could have imagined." Jane said with a cheeky grin. "And I did imagine."

"Hush." Lisbon said, her face turning even redder. "Leave."

"If you insist, my lady." Jane said, bowing chivalrously before exiting her office. Jackass.

Lisbon continued to look for her shirt, trying desperately to keep her mind from wandering to the way Jane's eyes had raked her body once he saw what she was wearing, or more accurately not wearing. Try as she might, she couldn't forget the way his pupils had dilated and the predatory glint that had entered them. She also couldn't forget the funny feelings it had sparked in her. She shook her head; she couldn't be having these thoughts at work. She couldn't be having these thoughts period. She opened the last drawer and of course, there her blouse was. She quickly put it on and made sure that she had done up all the necessary buttons.

Once this task was complete, she moved on to the daunting task of filling out and filing all the paperwork, mostly complaints courtesy of Jane. She walked over to sit down at her desk and moved some stuff around, trying to find the huge pile of paperwork that she had left right there Friday night. She began to search her office frantically before finding a small sticky note in the place where she had left the paperwork.

Lisbon,

Merry Christmas

-Hightower

Well, that was unexpected. Looks like all of that daunting paperwork had been taken care of. Huh. This was probably one of the best Christmas presents she'd gotten this Christmas. Well, except for Jane's. Somehow he'd known exactly what she had been wanting but not actually daring to go out and buy herself.

Speaking of Jane, what had he gotten into? She heard noises from the bullpen that weren't indicative of the team's arrival. She went out to see what was happening and was met with a strange sight. Jane was humming to himself while taking decorations off the tree. The team was nowhere in sight, no one was.

"What are you doing?" Lisbon asked. This obviously took Jane by surprise as he must have jumped five feet in the air.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking down the Christmas decorations." Jane said with a friendly smile.

"That's not what I meant, I can see that. I meant why are you doing that? Isn't that the custodian staff's job?" Lisbon said.

"Well, yeah but consider this my Christmas gift to them." Jane said. "What are you doing?"

"I was going to do that mountain of paperwork you so graciously caused." Lisbon said with an unforgiving glare. "But it seems that Hightower took care of it s now I'm here with nothing to do. Where is everyone anyway?"

"Why Lisbon, have you forgotten? Today is a holiday, no one is here and no one will be here today." Jane said with a smirk, trying to keep from laughing and being unsuccessful.

"Oh shit. You're right." Lisbon said. She dropped her head in her hands. She couldn't believe she'd forgotten that. "Well, since I'm here anyway, do you want my help?"

"Why thank you Lisbon, I would love your help." Jane said with a genuine smile. He walked over to the CD player he'd brought and pressed play. The bullpen was immediately filled with Christmas music.

"Where should I start?" Lisbon asked, not knowing if Jane had a system.

"Well, I am removing the decorations from the tree so if you want to put away all the tinsel on the desks and other streamer-like things that would be a great help." Jane said.

"Okay." Lisbon said. With that, she got to work taking down decorations. It didn't take very long with the two of them and they were almost done in less than an hour. Jane was cleaning up the last of their Christmas tree and Lisbon was looking for something else she could do. She gazed around the bullpen and quickly found it. The mistletoe.

Lisbon walked over to it and reached up. She reached as high as she could but she proved to be too short to take the mistletoe down from its hiding place. Why hadn't she worn her heels today? Instead she had chosen to wear her flat shoes.

"Jane! Where's the step-ladder?" Lisbon asked.

"In the custodian closet. But I wouldn't bother, it's locked." Jane said, returning to humming along to the music.

"Uh, Jane?" Lisbon said.

"Yes my dear?" Jane replied.

"I can't get this down, I'm too short. Can you help?" Lisbon said.

"Aw, you're not too short you're just vertically challenged, that's all." Jane said with a smirk.

"Hush. Get over here and help me." Lisbon said, her anger flaring ever so slightly.

"Alright I'm coming." Jane said, walking over to where she stood. She was standing under the mistletoe, he noticed with a chuckle. "For the record, I think you're the perfect height."

"Wha…?" Lisbon said, but she was cut off by Jane pressing his lips to hers. To say she wasn't expecting it would be an understatement. She had imagined this moment more times than she'd like to admit, but never like this. This was more than her mere imagination could have conjured; it was soft and tender, loving and sweet. It was magical. This was her own piece of Christmas magic.

He hadn't meant for it to be like this, their first kiss. He'd meant it to be when he'd been able to convince her of his feelings for her and after she'd admitted her own. But when the opportunity presented itself, he had to take it. It was almost incomprehensible, this kiss. He'd meant for it to be a chaste kiss on her lips, but he'd yielded to her when she'd responded with zeal. She was a curious one, exploring his mouth with her tongue to no avail. All too soon, she ended it.

"Well…" Lisbon said, slightly out of breath.

"Wow." Jane said, unable to form a complete sentence.

"Yeah." Lisbon said. "Um, that didn't happen."

"It didn't?" Jane asked, slightly dejected.

"No, it didn't" Lisbon said. She didn't want to be made the fool because of one of Jane's stunts. She'd guarded her heart all her life, she wasn't about to let it shatter now.

"Did this?" Jane whispered as he leaned in for another mind-blowing kiss. This time, she didn't stop it. She was too caught up in kissing Patrick Jane to remember all her well thought out reasons for why they shouldn't so she just did.
