The moment that he had drawn Elena’s name from the hat, he had known that this was going to be great. Among all the names thrown into the Secret Santa raffle, he’d been the one lucky enough to pick one of his best friends and at the time he had been rather excited about finding the perfect present for her. That excitement had lasted for about a few weeks and had declined gradually since then. Suddenly, nothing had seemed good enough for Elena. He had never hand picked a present for her before and it turned to be much harder than he would have ever thought. Now he was standing here empty-handed while everyone else was already revealing their Secret Santa. Finn’s own Secret Santa had been some random werewolf he had spoken to maybe once or twice. The present was alright, but Finn’s thoughts were preoccupied by Elena whom he finally found standing not too far away from him. He thanked the other wolf briefly for his present and rushed towards his friend. She was smiling at him and that somehow took some of his feelings of guilt away. But of course she was smiling. She didn’t know how much he had failed her yet. But she was about to find out. “I’m gonna make this quick” He started out. “I am your Secret Santa and I have been through all of New York at least twice, but I really had no clue what to get you and it’s probably too late now, but maybe if you tell me what you want, I can buy it for you and give it to you a little later” That was a bad excuse, he knew that, but was hoping to win her over with one of his famous charming smiles while Elena was listening with curious interest, patiently waiting for him to finish. She seemed amused, though, crossing her arms. “Well…” She spoke that word with care. “…to answer your question at least…” A wide grin was spreading across her lips. There was clearly an idea forming behind her forehead. Then her gaze suddenly went up, right to the mistletoe that was hanging above them. She pulled him into a kiss and the moment that their lips met, Finn knew that there was no better present he’d ever get for Christmas and holding her closer, leaning into the kiss completely, he also knew that this was the perfect present to get for Elena and how on Earth could he not have thought about this sooner?
