Open Mistletoe Shenanigans

[desertions]

Suddenly there's mistletoe above you! And someone is stuck under you! And neither one of you can move until you kiss! Shenanigans abound, basically.

I'll be throwing in my muses so feel free to tag them, or leave blank comments with people you want to play and I will give them people! There are no rules here, only fun and silly holiday kissing.

Enjoy!!!

And she is kissing him back simply because she wants to. Nothing is compelling or forcing her -- drawing her in weird ways. He's simply a boy she likes who is kissing her and she's kissing him back. If only it could always feel so simple.

It's only when a passerby clears their throat to signal to him that they're still in public does Mamoru break away from the kiss. His hands remain on her hips, palms lightly brushing against her skin where her shirt's ridden up expose her midriff.

"Mistletoe," he says by way of explanation, nodding to the plant above.

That wonderful plant that gave him a reason to kiss her in broad daylight as himself, not Tuxedo Kamen.

[odangos]

"So I see."

It is a good excuse, not that she needs one to want to kiss him. But if the girls had walked in and saw that she could of used it as an excuse. She knows they don't trust him yet. Luna tells her to keep away but she just can't help herself.

And after that she doesn't particularly want to.

[zorro]

He's not the enemy, but even Mamoru himself is uncertain of that truth. He can't remember anything of his life before the accident, and for all he knows, he was born to fight her instead of standing at her side. He just doesn't know. Maybe the Silver Crystal can answer those questions for him, maybe they won't. But until then, there's just no way of knowing.

Mamoru steps back, letting go of her reluctantly.

"I probably should've asked before I did that."

[odangos]

"I didn't mind."

The words come out rather quickly and she ducks her head a little, a light blush spreading across her cheeks. It had been nice just kissing him for once like he was a normal boy and she was a normal girl and their lives weren't really crazy and insane all the time.

[zorro]

"I didn't, either."

Obviously. But now they should really move out from under the mistletoe's path, as tempting as it is to remain underneath it and steal a kiss again. It's some other unsuspecting couple to find themselves under it.

Mamoru offers his arm, a true prince gentleman at heart in spite of his often unintentionally gruff nature. A certain lack of social skills (and practice using the ones he has) often makes him come off as condescending, harsh, and suspicious to those who don't know him.

Usagi's now one of the very few who actually does.

"Where were you headed? Home?" He knows where that is.

[odangos]

She takes his arm without second thought. It feels natural. And she likes being close to him. He always feels so warm. Safe in a way that she can't completely put into words or explain.

At his question she nods a little. "I am."

Of course, if her father catches her being walked home by a boy there might be some questions but she's not really considering that at the moment.

[zorro]

Home. That's the only word he can associate with the way he feels when he's in Usagi's presence. It's like he's come home, like he's finally in the one place he belongs. The orphanage, of course, never felt like home and though he's lived in his apartment since he was legally emancipated, it hasn't quite felt that way, either. It's just a place where he eats, sleeps, does his homework...

Nothing's felt like home to him until now. Until she came into his life, he didn't know what home was even supposed to feel like.

But this is it. This is home.

"I'll walk you."

It's worth the risk of running into her father.

[odangos]

Her head ducks a little as she smiles, a light flush to her cheeks. It feels so natural for him to offer it. There's something familiar about him in general -- like home but different. It's not how she feels with her parents or her brother or even the other Senshi. It's familiar and warm and something she only feels when she's around him.

"I'd like that."
