John was shivering when he entered that apartment he and Zatanna shared, taking his gloves off and unbuttoning his heavy trench coat while hanging it up, struggling to take off his heavy boots. "Zee, it's a frigging blizzard out there."

“What do you mean blizzard? The weather didn’t call for snow this Christmas. We live in New York for Satan’s sake.” Zee stood in the kitchen in a Christmas sweater and a pair of his boxers. Along with knee-length Christmas themed socks.

"Must be some hero bullshit happenin' "

“You know, not all weather phenomenons are hero’s fault.”

"Alright alright, you got me now come here, I need some warmth"

Zee rolled her eyes dramatically and huffed. “You baby it’s not even that cold outside.” She reluctantly shuffled over to him. Her blue eyes sparkling in the Christmas lights.

"Im frigid." John wrapped his arms around the back of Zatanna's neck bringing her in close.

“Your hands are cold.” She groaned, on the inside her heart fluttered a bit, a small smile coming to her lips.

"Much like my soul, correct?" The brit snickered while putting his forehead against hers.

“I don’t know. I think it is melting a bit.” She brought her hand up to ruffle his blonde locks.

"Can't tell if that's an insult or a compliment." John made a small face of discomfort while she messed with his hair but it quickly subsisted as he kissed her softly before sliding his hands down to grab her and drag the witch to the couch they shared. "I hope your yoga pant and cape friends don't mind I’m taking you for the holiday."

“They aren’t Yoga pants.” Zee huffed her arms crossed as she pouted. “You know there have been plenty of times where those yoga pants and cape friends have helped you.”

"Sorry, I meant Latex."

Zee rolled her eyes and grabbed the tv remote. She started scrolling through the options. She clicked on Netflix. “You know Hallmark Christmas films are my guilty pleasure.” Zee smiled at John.

"I'll add that to the list of things that make the all mighty Zatanna Zatara go 'Woo!', I know many people who'd like the list." John inched closer to Zatanna while resting his head against her shoulder.

“That and my vegetarian pizza.”

"Of course, love eating plants!"

“Don’t you dare call me a rabbit again.”

"I wouldn't dare think about it, I'm more scared of you turning me into one." Constantine smiled softly while lifting his head from her shoulder and lightly turning her head towards him. Caressing her perfect face against his hand only made his smile grow even bigger. "Have I ever mentioned you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen? Especially in my clothes."

Zatanna smiled with a cocky smirk. “One or two times.”

"Well good, I mean it."

Zatanna smiled from the palm of his hand. She rested her cheek against it closing her eyes. His hands were finally at a normal temperature.

John rested his head against hers one more time while cupping his hands around her face in a gentle manner, slowly rubbing circles on her cheeks with his thumbs while closing his eyes as well, his soft breath against hers.

Zatanna kissed his cheek before shifting her position on the couch. She moved to cuddle into his chest as her trademark Hallmark move. She leaned over to grab the fluffy white blanket they kept on the arm of the couch. She flicked the fabric so it covered the pair.

She felt so warm against his touch, it was nice while it lasted that is. While they shifted John took off his tie and tossed it on the small table in the middle of the room. He held her close in his arms never wanting to let go. "What are we going to watch?"

“We have a couple of different options. A Christmas Melody, A Christmas Detour, A Very Merry MIx Up, A Christmas Prince, etc.” She smiled up at him from her position on his chest.

"I've ever really watched E.T, Home alone 1-33 and Die Hard. So i suppose you're choosing for us." John kissed the top of his darling Zee's head softly and with love and comion for her.

“A Christmas Detour it is!” Zee said with a cheer as Netflix symbol popped on the screen. The sound of Christmas music coming from the speakers. Her head resting on John’s shoulder.

John softly nodded while watching the movie with his beloved, resting his Head against her, he leaned them back slightly before drifting off into a light Slumber due to the movie being slightly boring and he was just tired as is. For some cheesy reason he was thinking of a memory, a memory that would make him sure of his choice.

"Zeeeeee no no you can't make me let GO" John gripped onto the railing of the ice rink while his feet failed in keeping him upright. The Brit was terrified and was clinging to the edge for dear life.

Zatanna giggled from her position on the ice behind him. She wore her skinny jeans and black leather jacket. Her long black hair framing her face. She looked at the Brit with pity. ”Come on John,  be a man.” She encouraged with a smirk. Zatanna loved to Ice Skate, and tis the season in New York City. ”Just let go and trust yourself.”

"Absolutely no bloody fucking way! I don't want to fall again." He said probably louder than he needed to as the vapor oh his hot breath meeting cold air exited. He finally got himself to stand on the blades while still gripping the edge under his gloves. Tis the season he wore his heavier trench coat and for American winter weather.

“Stop whining you whimp.” Zatanna skated over to him and offered her arm. “I’ve got you.” She smiled gently at him all of the amusement vanished. Her blue eyes sparkled with and care. “Always.”

John's heart flustered slightly, he knew he knew she was the one. That exact moment he choose. He leaned over slightly, still holding onto the railing well gripping onto her arm tightly. "If I'm going down you're coming with me." He let go and tried his best to stay balanced, gripping onto Zatanna.

“Alright just move you legs with it. Don’t lean too far forward.” Zatanna encouraged him as the pair slowly moved forward.

John slowly moved with her really trying to not fall again, grabbing onto his beloved. "Right… Yeah think I'm getting it." He took his eyes off his feet and ice to look at Zee with a smile. Soon as he did, he started to slip and she was coming down with him holding her, the Brit made sure she didn't hit the ice, and he would first to cushion the fall.

"Ugh--" John woke up abruptly sitting next to Zee. "Mmm, must have fallen asleep." He petted Zatanna's head and kissed her temple softly before moving the blanket and standing up and stretching. Yawning slightly he turned back to his beloved. "M getten whiskey, want anything, luv?"

“Please pour me some eggnog. And add some type of alcohol.” Zatanna looked up at him with a wide grin. She paused Netflix and stood with a stretch.

"Right." John left to the kitchen to get himself a glass to pour some whiskey into as well as one for eggnog and mom wine. Fishing through a drawer all the way in the back, he grabbed a small box and held it in his hands till shoving it into his pocket and grabbing the glasses. He handed her the wine and nog while setting down his own glass on the lamp stand.

"Zee… I.." John swallowed harshly and continued. "Look, I know we've had our ups and downs dear, and i know we agreed on not getting any gifts this year but…" He took the box out of his pocket and ran his thumbs over it before bending down onto one knee and opened the box for her.

"Will you marry me, Zatanna?"

"Yes."
