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!

[Man, that reaction is the CUTEST. Naruko can't help that his smirk turns into a wide smile in response. Holy cow, what a cutie! He reaches out to grab Haruichi's shoulders lightly, not realizing that the other had stopped already because they were trapped here.]

Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna do anything bad. It's just a tradition, right? No big deal or anything!

[infield]

[ oh--haruichi doesn't flinch away from the hands on his shoulders but they definitely startle him a little bit, and he looks at the guy from under his fringe, his cheeks starting to shift from pink to bright red as he puts together all the pieces. the landlord has done some weird things in his time here, so magic cursed mistletoe is definitely not out of the question.

two: naruko says 'tradition' and haruichi realizes exactly how to get out of this predicament, which sort of makes him want to die and mostly makes him hate the landlord a little tiny bit more today. ]

It's-- [ god his knees are going to give out from all the blood rushing to his head any second ]--um, I think we have to...

[littleredbean]

[!! Oh gosh... 'we have to'... that goes straight to Naruko's nether regions heart and he winds up blushing a little. This cutie is so embarrassed, but so forward! How could he NOT kiss something so adorable??]

O-okay. It'll be quick. Promise.

[Hopefully not too quick. He breathes in slowly, and then leans in quickly to press his lips against Haruichi's... before he can lose the nerve!!

And hopefully before anyone can stop him, lol.]

you asked for it

[ryosan]

[Naruko leans further in for a kiss, closer, closer, too close - but before they make contact, a level voice drifts between the two. Soft, menacing.]

Only one thing will be quick, and it won't have anything to do with kissing.

[Naruko's demise.]

[ is haruichi really ready to kiss this person? he sort of knows naruko, he's showed up to baseball practice a few times, and he likes him okay, but kissing? he gave up his first kiss already, but that felt different considering he barely remembers it and this would be--!!

but, before it even happens, there's an Ominous Voice, stage left. haruichi jumps back. ] --Aniki!!

[ he sounds a little relieved. oh thank god ;A; ]

[littleredbean]

[!!! Nooooo, he was SO CLOSE!! Naruko looks up, hands still on Haruichi's shoulders and...

...oh god, he's going to die, isn't he?]

...h-hey, she said we have to, so... so why not??

[OH NO HE'S GIVEN HIMSELF AWAY.]

[ryosan]

[For someone who's caught some loud upstart in a compromising situation with his little brother, Ryousuke's expression remains frighteningly calm.]

Oh? I've never been much for rules or simple superstitions as these. [and yet, he smiles.] Particularly when they involve Haruichi.

[littleredbean]

BUT SHE SAID IT WAS OKAY!!

[Naruko is on the verge of freaking out here, PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM??]

[ryosan]

Are you sure you're not just putting words into people's mouths?

[No one's putting anything into anyone's mouth.]
