MISTLETOE MEME

Ah, the shameless (shameful?) classic. Happy holidays, Holly Heights.



How it works:
➜ Your character is going about their business when suddenly... oop, mistletoe.
➜ Double oop, someone else walked under at the same time.
➜ Maybe this is usual mistletoe and they can just joke about it and awkwardly shuffle off.
➜ Oooooor maybe it's cursed mistletoe and they can't leave until they kiss each other.
➜ Good luck with that!

it's time

[ The thing about being short is that you generally have to look up a lot, but Chiyo always has a nicer time talking to Haruichi because she doesn't have to crane her neck quite as much as she usually does. That also means that she doesn't see any mistletoe appear above them, so when she throws out her arm in a particularly wide gesture (talking about how amazing she thought Haruichi was because she saw some of his batting practice the other day), she's stunned when it hits an invisible wall. ]

--Huh?

[ELMO]

[infield]

[ it was easy enough to seek out chiyo to chat with at this party--haruichi's really fond of his friend and finds her easy to talk to, even if she's currently being a little embarrassing with her compliments. he's about to deny what she's saying, it's just practice, and i'm not really good, i'm working on it, but the abrupt stop catches his attention too. ]

Ah--are you okay, Chiyo-chan? [ he watches her hand hit off the wall with minor confusion from behind his bangs, and then reaches out to do the same: sure enough, his hand is stopped before he can reach past it. haruichi frowns, trying to figure out what the cause could be, and he looks left, right...and then up.

...oh.

instantly, haruichi starts to color red, from his cheeks across his nose and down his face slowly. ] Um...Chiyo-chan. [ gestures...up ]

[admiringly]

[ Would you be a regular at Seido if you weren't good, Haruichi? would have been Chiyo's rebuttal. All she wants is to instill a little effusive honesty in his life. It's a consequence of being friends with her.

She follows his gesture, and her face matches his in seconds. She's bright with embarrassment and covers her face after emitting a tiny squeak. She doesn't have the longest bangs, but her hands work just as well. ]

W-We're stuck because of it, aren't we...? U-Um...

[ On one hand, she doesn't mind being stuck with Haruichi. On the other hand, she doesn't want to confine the both of them to that one spot forever. But a kiss... ]

Wh-what should we do?
