[Setsuna looks up and just stares at the plant above his head. He knows what it is, yes, but he doesn't understand why it's over his head.]

Huh? What're they hanging this stupid plant everywhere for? [He has the screen of the device zoom in on it, just to show what he's talking about. And yes, he doesn't know what mistletoe looks like. And he doesn't know the tradition behind it, either.] Weird....

[Educate him, or kiss him. Or both. Or he might kiss your character. All options are good.]

[ So he's being followed from a distance before Sara finally gets up the nerve to actually approach him, not even noticing the plant.]

...Setsuna? [ It feels strange to use his name but the things she'd seen...]

[beyourarmy]

Wha-? [His heart beats just a little faster hearing that voice. He hasn't heard from her in what feels like ages. And as if he ever needed a stupid plant or curse to kiss her.]

[Well, until recent, at least. He has, after all, been respecting what she said. Just can't force a person to move on, not completely. That needs time.]

[He looks back, a little stunned, and she's too close. He leans in without a word, his lips going right for hers. Eyes closed.]

[glass_not_ruby]

We need to-

[ Okay that was not the reaction she was expecting and Sara stilled, her eyes widening for a moment, before she tentatively returns the kiss.]

[beyourarmy]

[It wasn't anything he had planned on, either. Once it's over, he looks slightly ashamed and pulls back. Hurt flickering for a moment.]

...so. We need to what?

[indecent_butterfly]

[An opportunity like this can't be passed up, even if ne will most likely regret it later even if ne wouldn't curse him--this time. Either way...]

It's said to offer good luck for those who follow the tradition. [And fertility but let's overlook that one shall we?] Or friendship and goodwill.

action;

[beyourarmy]

Huh? I don't feel full of goodwill or friendship. Just confusion.

[And an unwanted pull in Hatter's direction. After all, Hatter is just close enough.]

action;

[indecent_butterfly]

For those who kiss under it.

[There is also the hope of marriage in the coming year...but again, ne'll overlook that one as well.

Poor thing, ne was just going to kiss his cheek out of fun, but plans change when curses are in affect. A little step closer is all it takes after all to change the direction of thoughts from cheek to lips and inaction to action.]

Because it's apparently a Christmas tradition. You're supposed to kiss under it.

I don't understand why, either.

[Video]

[beyourarmy]

Kiss?

Thanks for letting me know! [The mistletoe above him bursts into flames as Setsuna walks away from it.] I know what I'm going to be doing the rest of the day, if I'm stuck outside.

[destinedtobeunpopular]

Have fun with that. But it might not always let you.

[valentineluke]

Best keep year-round out of the forest or anywhere with trees, then.

[beyourarmy]

Why?

[valentineluke]

Curses aside, it's fairly common plant here. Run the risk all 365 days of being under one.

action; Needed some cuteness before tackling the other tags xD

[sympathyforme]

[Kira is better educated on traditions, no matter what country, and so it's not surprising that he does know. As the responsible senpai he is, he tracks Setsuna down, wraps his arms around it from behind and kisses his cheek.]

Christmas spirit.

Re: action; Needed some cuteness before tackling the other tags xD

[beyourarmy]

Christmas -

[He feels lips against his cheeks and blushes, slightly. He turns back.] Senpai...I don't think any of us have Christmas spirit.

[But, kiss for a kiss. There is a curse, after all. When he's twisted around enough, his own lips touch Kira's cheek in return. But his might linger just a little longer, his eyes mostly closed.]

But, if you say so.

action;

[sympathyforme]

We can just fake it. If it scores you free kisses, why not?

[He ruffles Setsuna's hair, but doesn't pull away.]

[confined_to_briah]

( Did you really think you would get away, Setsuna? Arms wrap around his waist and Alexiel nestles against his back. )

What a nice surprise.

( Action )

[beyourarmy]

[He's all wide-eyes and pink cheeks, turning back to see her. It's a reflex, for so many reasons. And the mistletoe hanging above them isn't helping.]

Huh? .... [He can't stop himself from leaning in to touch his lips to her cheek. At least he's controlled things enough it's not her lips.]

( Action )

[confined_to_briah]

( Alexiel laughs softly and kisses his forehead. She's not letting go of him just yet. )

Mistletoe is for kisses. ( Surprise kisses usually. ) I think you can expect many of them.

[worldofourown]

[ Karl slips up next to Setsuna, arms crossed behind his back, expression bland -- the picture of well-meaning innocence. ]

It's mistletoe, silly boy.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[Slightly flailing, Setsuna turns.]

Well, how am I supposed to know! [He points at the plant.] They don't hang this shit all over Tok...to....

[Too close, Karl.] To.... [He's valiantly trying to fight the curse, but there is no way around it. Setsuna reaches out to grab Karl's collar, to pull him forward forcefully for a full on lips kiss. Not a gentle one, either.]

action;

[worldofourown]

[ The only response Karl offers to the kiss is a raised eyebrow. Teeth clack together sharply, his lips spreading in a grin that is absolutely indecent -- before he bites at Setsuna's lips. ]

[ Hard. ]

action;

[virginwings]

[She has no idea what it is either, but since she's passing by, she figures she should figuratively say hey.]

It could be a thing for Christmas...

action;

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, apparently it-

[Horrified pause. Not that she isn't cute, or anything, but kissing married women is kinda wrong! At least he diverts his lips to her cheek when he turns.]

action;

[virginwings]

It?

[She blinks when he stops mid-sentence, but is drawn in too, placing a kiss accidentally on his earlobe shortly after he places one on her cheek. Deep down, though, she's quite startled.]
