general actionspam for mistletoe; make threads for whoever! you don't just have to kiss ryojikun CHU

[downtorest.livejournal.com]

[ it's a beautiful evening. the moon is waxing, the stars are just beginning to prick the night sky, and behold! there is mistletoe hanging in every nook and cranny you can think of. whether you are taking a stroll outside for a late-night cup of coffee, just came out of your favorite cafe, are taking a walk by the snowy beach, or possibly just innocent strolling down the hall of your apartment, it is there.

whoever steps beneath it may not know it, but suddenly the person standing beside them, passing by, or walking in the opposite direction suddenly looks a lot more attractive. maybe their inhibitions just got shot to all hell. whatever it is, it's time to pucker up. ]

[Xavin has just exited the West apartment complex. She looks cagey, probably from getting confined to the building while the snow was cleared.

She has not spared a thought to the mistletoe invasion.]

[Chie is jogging along the sidewalks around the dormitories, not dressed nearly warmly enough for the weather, so the cold has turned her nose and cheeks pink, and her breath fogs with every step. Every so often she swerves off the path to aim kicks at snowbanks.

She hasn't seen either the mistletoe or Xavin.]

[Xavin surreptitiously burrows more into her coat, and leans back against the wall of the building. She lets out a heavy sigh, and her sight is momentarily clouded by the fog it produces. When it clears, she catches sight of Chie, and steps towards her.]

Are you not cold?

[Xavin pauses, and looks discomfited by her actions.

There is, of course, mistletoe hanging near the building's entrance, above Xavin's head.]

[tenbeefsteaks]

[Chie stops right in front of her and jogs in place, looking up, a little confused. There's something that feels just a little weird here...]

It's brisk! It toughens you up!

[multishapes]

[Xavin finds herself offering a small smile.]

That's a good approach to training, I suppose.

[tenbeefsteaks]

[Chie takes a step closer and starts to feel strangely dizzy. This girl is really pretty... why hadn't she noticed that before?]

Do you train too, then?

[multishapes]

I was very dedicated to my training once. Things have changed some since then.

[She looks down, and then back up with a coy look.]

I have been searching for a sparring partner for some time, however.

[tenbeefsteaks]

Oh. Um... haha... that... would... be...

[Now she's totally flustered, at a loss for words, not understanding any of this, especially not the sudden flush of heat in her cheeks, until she glances up past Xavin, and sees the mistletoe above them. Then, as she closes the rest of the space between the two of them, everything seems momentarily crystal clear, perfect and inevitable.]

[multishapes]

Yes, it would be quite...

[Xavin swallows thickly, and places her hand on Chie's face, angling the kiss a little better.

Then she seems to snap back into herself, and steps back.]

Oh. What?

[tenbeefsteaks]

[Chie was stunned for a moment. That had been... really, really nice. And really, really unexpected. And, um... had they been flirting before? Was that what that had been?]

Um. That's, uh, not exactly the kind of training I had in mind, haha...

[The laughter is very forced, and trails off quickly, leaving it very obvious just how stunned and confused she is at the moment.]
