Description
Alice curled up to the sleeping body next to her and rested her head against his chest. It was so hard to believe that just weeks before they had been fighting Mad March and the Queen of Hearts, and now they were lying in her bed without a care in the world. She looked up at Hatter's sleeping face and giggled despite herself…he just looked so funny without a hat. Luckily, said hat was hanging on the bed post. She stealthily reached over and got it and placed it on his sleeping head.
"I knew you liked me better with the hat." He said, opening his eyes.
"I thought you were asleep." She laughed.
"I was until the hat." He admitted. He then picked the hat from his head and placed it on hers. "Looks better on you."
"Well, aren't you sweet?" She giggled.
Alice leaned down and pressed her lips to his.

Hatter walked into the looking glass room, breath held and heart pounding. His eyes scanned the crowd looking for that one brunette in the blue dress.
His eyes froze. Target spotted.
Alice had her arms around Jack Heart. I guess she chose him after all. He thought with a sinking feeling as he watched Jack lead Alice to restore the looking glass.
I should just…fade out. He told himself. With one last longing glance he turned to leave without even saying goodbye.
And then he heard the one thing he wanted to hear more than anything else: "Hatter!"

Hatter gripped tightly at Alice's hand as they strolled through the snow.
"How much farther until my present?" She asked, shivering in the cold.
"Just a few more minutes." Hatter promised. Alice clung tighter to him and he chuckled, remembering a time when hugs from Alice were rare.
"I'm afraid that your present is going to be better than mine." She said. "I mean, we have to walk to yours."
'That's because it's in my loft." He explained.
"And here I was hoping for something big." She fake sighed.
"Oh, it is. Trust me."
They had reached the door of his apartment building now. "Warmth!" Alice let go of his hand and rushed to the elevator.
"Well, I see what you care the most about." He stepped into the elevator with her. He was completely taken by surprise when her lips met his as the elevator doors closed.
"Now, what do I care most about?" She whispered against his lips.
He grabbed her hand as soon as the doors opened and whisked her to his loft.
"Wait!" He said excitedly before she opened the door. He took his hat off and placed it on her head, it was so big that it slid down and covered her eyes. A Hatter's blindfold.
He opened the door and removed the hat. There, sitting at the table and ready for dinner was Charlie, the White Knight.
"By Jove, look at you! Just Alice is looking splendid indeed!"
Alice shot a radiant smile towards Hatter as she went to hug Charlie.
Hatter smiled back.
