Yes ma'-

[Some stuttering, here.]

No, I'm truly so-sorry, uh-

[And a crash]

Thank you ma'am, I'll see to it that my eye heals up, yes, thank you, it was nice to meet you, bye!

[ooc: catch him anywhere!]

[Lucy is out running errands when she catches sight of Steve. He's cute and she thinks she's talked to him once or twice, but maybe not. She's seen him on the network anyway. This seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce herself and if he's standing under some mistletoe...

Oh well.]

[punchedhitler]

[Part of the problem is that even though Steve would rather not kiss anyone, he can't actually bring himself to be rude to anyone, so when she approaches he holds still, as if that will keep the mistletoe away.]

Hello, miss.

[This is an inevitability.

Since Uhura convinced her to ask Steve out, Penny has strenuously avoided him to delay what will almost certainly be either awkward acceptance or apologetic rejection. Of course she would bump into him while out and about. Of course there would be mistletoe present.

She might have to stand on tiptoe to deliver it, but Steve, here's a kiss.]

action;

[punchedhitler]

[He reaches to support her, and picks her halfway up to kiss her back.

Oh.

Oh no, Penny.]

action;

[anunluckypenny]

[Blame any and all enthusiasm behind the kiss on the curse. It may be more difficult to attribute the fact that Penny clasps her heads behind Steve's neck to mistletoe.

There's no excuse for prolonging that kiss.]

action;

[punchedhitler]

[He spins them both and settles her on the ground, and looks dumbstruck.]

Miss Penny.

action;

[anunluckypenny]

[Oh. Once her feet are firmly back on the ground--literally and metaphorically--she is supremely embarrassed.]

Steve! Hi. [This clearly can't get worse.] Wouldyoumaybewanttogoonacoffeedatewithmesometime?

action;

[punchedhitler]

[He turns bright pink]

I-yes-sure-I mean.

[Maybe he didn't pick up the word date, or, more likely, he's just so embarrassed he doesn't know what happened]

I'm sorry about the curse.

action;

[anunluckypenny]

[If she wasn't dead, she'd be a similar color.]

Really? The--oh, the curse. It's... I mean, I didn't mind. No! I mean... [She has no idea what she means.] Sorry. About the curse. Too.

action;

[punchedhitler]

I-yes.

It's okay, I mean.

[Freddy's out on patrol when he crosses paths with Captain America.]

What happened to your face?

[yourbestguysgun]

You better be taking names there, Captain.

[ So Bucky can then go around threatening people. Obviously. But he's smiling anyway because without this curse he wouldn't be justified in his jealousy. ]

[punchedhitler]

[Steve touches his eyes, which is healing up]

I got into a scrap. It's nothing, really.

[punchedhitler]

No reason to, Sergeant.

Getting into trouble, Mister Rogers?

[punchedhitler]

No one's been too angry, yet.

[yourbestguysgun]

I kinda think there are plenty of reasons.

[punchedhitler]

Like?

[ Tony is out on a like, Family Circus-esque series of errands and shit around the City, but he runs into Steve and pauses, actually heads over to meet the guy, because if that's what ] I think it is. Is that a black eye?

[punchedhitler]

[He looks kind of embarrassed, okay?]

It's nothing.

[fe_male]

Oh, come on. That was rhetorical. Of course it's a black eye. Due to the nature of today I'm going to assume the obvious reasoning. Weird shit, compulsive kissing, surprise mistletoe.

[punchedhitler]

It's from a few days ago, Tony.

[A girl passes by them and giggles, and holds up a sprig.

Steve goes bright red and tugs Tony in the opposite direction]

[fe_male]

[ Hey, Steve, c'mon, okay. Well, whatever; he makes that 'what can I do' face at the girls and lets Steve tug at him. ] Hey does that mean we have to kiss now?

[punchedhitler]

We're not going to k-

[Famous last words. They hit the right patch of mistletoe and Steve sweeps Tony into a victory day style kiss, dip and all]

[fe_male]

[ Well, Tony hits a state of both totally not surprised at all and then wow okay yeah sure this is super surprising roundabout the time Steve actually dips him and keeps going. And he's kissing Steve right back, holding on to his shoulders in the dip and straightening up with remnants of the initial surprise still on his face.

They quickly all but give way to something along the lines of 'cat that got the cream'. ] Wow. Wow. Check that off my bucket list. I never thought I'd get that one done.
