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!

Yeah sure, you just need to bend down so I can see what I'm pulling.

[ He didn't want to accidentally pull out any of his sempai's hair while trying to help him. At least he can reach up and carefully tug out the decorations that aren't starting to fuse with his long locks and toss them to the side. ]

[As ridiculous as he looks, Makishima didn't really mind all the decorations in his hair. He just hadn't realized that walking around would move the stuff around so much, and a certain ornament had started to tug uncomfortably at his hair. However if Teshima is willing enough to help him get rid of most if not all of it, he'll be happy.

As suggested, Makishima bends his knees just slightly and leans over, giving Teshima a better reach to help him.]

Let me guess, you let Nico style you up for Christmas?

[ It's not because he thinks Toudou wouldn't, but Nico feels like she'd take better advantage of it.

He reached for the hook it was on and gently moving the hair off of it to free the ornament. He repeated this for all of the ornaments he could see, taking the freed one and holding them out for Makishima to hold afterward. ]

Got a Christmas date this year? [ Since he was helping him they might as well try to hold a conversation. ]

[climber]

I didn't let her, she manipulated me into agreeing to it. [Which in Makishima speak means he let her. Half of it was because he got tired of her whining and fake threats of crying to Toudou, but also because he thought it would just be some simple hair clips and such. He didn't think she'd actually put so much in her hair, and by the time she started, he wasn't able to say no.

But without her around, Makishima is more than willing to risk her wrath by having most of it taken off. Cupping his hands, he makes a temporary place for Teshima to put whatever he grabs, head bowed low to make things easier.

It's a good thing the curtain of his hair hides the slight hint of red on his cheeks from Teshima's question. If it was anyone else, he'd say it was none of their business, but for him, he can offer at least something more courteous.]

...I have plans, if that answers your question.

[karaokeking]

[ That was as good as letting her. He knew how his sempai was. At least it was a thorough job, though, he thought. She must have put serious work into making him look this good as a Christmas tree. ]

She's pretty good at it at least! She took real care with making you look good. A girl with an eye like this would definitely be 'your daughter'. [ Really more Toudou's daughter, but Makishima wanted that hell so it's his.

Haha, as he thought. Makishima did have Christmas plans in place. Things were really starting to come together. ]

You sound happy about it. Ahh, this should be the last one. [ Dropping the ornaments with the others. ]

[climber]

[Don't throw him under the bus with comments like that. Makishima throws an icy glare at Teshima.]

Keep saying things like that and I'm going to put these in your hair to see how you like it. She's more Toudou's daughter than mine. [Not that he thinks of her as his daughter at all. Nico is just Nico. (This is in fact a lie).

That's as much as Makishima chooses to say on that subject, even though the next one is just as awkward for him to discuss. However even though he has yet to bridge the subject of his relationship with Toudou to Teshima, he figures he could at least be honest with Teshima. They're part of a team, almost like a family, and while he hasn't always been good at sharing his feelings with others he figures it's never a bad time to start.

As he looks down at the ornaments in his hands, an array of clashing different colors, he can't seem to help but smile just a little.]

...but I am. Happy.

[Dating Toudou was probably the most difficult decision he could ever make, but it was also the best one.]

[karaokeking]

Take it easy on me, Senpai. You're so mean. [ He was laughing though, holding his hands up defensively. It was strangely nice getting to have talks like this with Makishima now even if he couldn't before. They've both grown in ways since they spoke at home for either time.

For how happy he could be that Makishima found something that made him happy, it always called back to the phone call they had before. Somehow, at some point, something either had to change or be left behind. This was the conclusion he was drawing from all of their talks. ]

Was it hard to let yourself be happy?
