potosi | we'll sing a love song as we go along

[ Effectively running the school while terminally ill is a very time-consuming thing, especially when your unit must remain at the top of the veritable food chain. Having such good unitmates, in their ways, helps a great deal, as does the fact that the student council is in the palm of his hand, but. It still leaves him with a great deal many things to do, especially after he's been to the hospital for a few days, a week, two weeks -

The holidays are an unfortunate time to be sick. But, he can make it work.

They're working on their live, and he's still feeling weak after his time in the hospital, but he finds the time for a little holiday joy and something... fun. Decorating the student council room is one of those things, where he has Yuzuru help him and sends Tori off to get some treats for the council and fine.

And then, Eichi hangs up a few sprigs of mistletoe, looking pleased with himself up at them rather than moving. ]

[ christmastime is such a wonderful, amazing time of year ★

wataru is, naturally, a fan! how could he not be? everything is beautiful and magical--it is a time for art and music and dance and joy. merrymaking, even! and wataru hibiki makes very, very merry.

so, preparations for the star festival being underway doesn't mean that things can't be decorated beyond that. wataru's heard that eichi is up and about for the day, which means that perhaps he's already in the student council room, decorating. wataru makes his way out of the theater club room with his arms full of decorations, and he sets them down at the doorway to the student council room and opens the door. ]

Goo~od evening, Eichi! How nice it is, to see you up and about and moving around! ♪ [ with the box out of his arms, he immediately makes his way over to said student council president, because if anyone would notice the little green sprigs hanging in the room, it would most certainly be the dramatic wataru hibiki!

as in, when he sweeps in, he truly does, grabbing eichi's hand and promptly dipping him down underneath one of the mistletoe sprigs. ] It seems we've had a meeting of fate....☆

[ They still have some more pieces that they need to put up - which he's sure that Wataru has, as he so often does (because he is dependable like that, yes, but also because he is just that sort of Extra) - so Eichi decides to call it a day after the mistletoe. Besides, that was a lot of work for him to do, when he needs to save the rest of his energy for the star fes. They might not be doing Tori's proposed suggestion, but there's still so much that they have to do for it, and the costumes...

He perks up when the door opens, turning from where he's assessing his hard work. There's some that he wants to maybe move, perhaps get them somewhere else in the room. It would be silly to put the sprigs right over the door, but at the same time, he's sure that not all of them are perfectly placed. ]

Wataru. I was working, earlier, but felt a little restless after sitting for so long. I had Yuzuru go and get some of the decorations out of storage. [ His pleasant smile is warmed around the edges, but, then - of course, Hibiki Wataru is full of surprises. His eyes widen as his world tilts on its axis, and he can't help the startled laugh as he braces one hand against Wataru's chest and the other curls in his grip. ] My, it does seem that we have, haven't we..~?

[ there is nothing wataru does in small measures, and kissing his boyfriend is one of those things. ♪

yes, yes, this is an appropriate way to celebrate christmas. it's a very romantic season, and wataru would be impolite if he didn't show it in such a way--nay, he would barely be wataru hibiki! so, he's all smiles at eichi, holding him safe in his arms, even if he's dipped a bit horizontal. ]

I have heard that something truly terrible happens to those who ignore the calls of mistletoe. [ he pours on the dramatics as usual, voice a bit hushed, playful. ] A fate worse than death, should we not provide to its very whims...!

[ leaning just a little closer, he smiles. ] I'm willing to acquiesce, if you are...♪

[ And that, truly, is one of the many reasons that Eichi loves his boyfriend so much. He would never ask Wataru to change himself, least of all this part.

(He failed to break him, like so many others before him. There's no way he could change him in the first place, and, now, no want to.)

There's no concern that he's about to be dropped, even if he's holding onto him so securely. After all, Wataru didn't drop him during their "circus" performance, and went so far as to catch him before he could fall. So, of course he's perfectly safe. His hand lifts up from his chest to touch his cheek, thumb sweeping tenderly over it.

It would probably be easier to succumb to that death, than the slow one that he's been dragging out for years and years. But that would mean less time to kiss Wataru. ]

I would hate for such a fate to befall our most beloved magician. And I would be even more loathe to be the cause of such a fate.

[ no, no death!! especially not on christmas!!

wataru's grip is firm, it's true. eichi is light as a feather, really, weak from the medicine; he's always been so delicate, yet so strong. it's truly a most fascinating contradiction, eichi tenshouin, one that wataru adores.

so, smile still firmly on his face, he tilts his head just a little, turning some of that adoration on their student council president. he looks lovely like this, lit just by the christmas lights in the council room, and he can't help himself! ]

If it is as the mistletoe commands... [ and with that, yep, he's just gonna lean right down and give him a sweet kiss. ]

[ He does suppose that would put a damper on Wataru's favorite holiday.

As frail as he could be, as he should be, Eichi has found ways to seem stronger. Some of it may be an act, a deception that he wears just along with his pleasant smile. Because what better way to rule the world he knows than to do that? But some of it is just sheer determination, and he finds ways to make sure his hands don't ever shake.

He lets himself be held by Wataru without question, without complaint, and chuckles softly, his heart warm in his chest, soothing away some of the pain from his recent hospitalization. ]

It is, I believe. [ So Wataru kisses him, and Eichi slides his fingers into his long, long hair, to cup the back of his head as he returns the kiss with a soft hum at the back of his throat. ]

[ oh, it's definitely just the mistletoe. that's all. wataru definitely doesn't want to kiss eichi or anything.

of course that's a lie--wataru enjoys kissing eichi the most, obviously. he adores it, in fact, so he keeps the kiss long and sweet and slow. he'd rather stay close to him forever, if given the choice, he'd do this all afternoon, but alas: yuzuru and hime-chan should be returning soon.

slowly, he rights eichi, keeping their lips together until he does so, his arm snaking now comfortably around his waist, first one and then the other. wataru breaks off slowly, sweetly, and he smiles when he's finished. ] Well now... I hope you feel the Christmas spirit at least a bit, Eichi. ♪

[ Oh, of course. Wataru would have no reason to want to kiss him of his own volition. Not at all.

But, it's also true - Yuzuru and his darling Tori will be returning eventually. He sent them on errands (more like he sent Tori on an errand, and Yuzuru to make sure it was done) but they were only meant to be minor busy work compared to what they could possibly be doing to occupy themselves long term. Unfortunate that he didn't send htem off to do more.

Because being righted is fine, and he still trusts Wataru implicitly to not topple them over or drop him. Instead of trying to pull away, though, he curls their fingers together more snugly and tucks his other hand carefully against the back of his neck. It keeps him from succumbing to the urge to comb through that beautiful hair of his.

Eyes closed still, he smiles and lets out another little hum, followed by a chuckle. ] Perhaps you should try another, to make sure, Wataru..~

Hmm, hmm! [ that's probably just a little too loud, just a little too extravagant, but what is wataru if not "a little too" all the time? he's big and theatrical and doing the Most all the time, therefore he happily gives in to the suggestion.

besides, eichi looks quite lovely with his eyes still closed like that, like a beautiful prince awaiting a kiss from his prince charming. who would wataru be if he said no?

so, he squeezes him just a bit closer, still underneath the mistletoe. ] If a thousand kisses is what it takes, then this Christmas angel will be up to the task!

[ which definitely means he ducks in to kiss him again, chaste and sweet. they will almost certainly get caught. ]

[ Most would probably say it was too loud, and too much, but Eichi thinks it's a perfect indicator of who Wataru is. He chuckles again, softly, rather than try to lean away, thumbing behind his ear as he leaves his eyes closed. Anyone else, he'd be more reluctant to do that. (See: Rei.) ]

Christmas angel, hm? I'm rather lucky to have someone like you as my Christmas angel, then. Because you make that sound exactly like a promise.

[ They're absolutely going to get caught. Knowing their luck, it may even be Keito that arrives rather than their sweet kohai. But he can't find it in himself to care, as he returns the kiss, tender and slow, the corners of his mouth turned up in a sincere smile. ]

[ sena has a bone to pick with someone. he's not sure who it is--he's going to blame arashi--but it's a bone to pick nonetheless. why?

because someone, in all of their holiday glee, has put mistletoe all over senaha--all over the studio. sena, as a rule, likes his celebrations of holidays quiet. he spends it (quietly) with his parents, but ever since leo tsukinaga came into his life, there's nothing quiet about it.

of course, everyone in the rest of knights seems to be...enjoying themselves. to say the least. sena's been watching leo bounce around the room, watched ritsu corner him underneath the mistletoe, watched arashi squeal and coo over kisses, and sena--has been very unkissed.

which is good!! he likes it better that way!! he doesn't care at all! so, he's making tea while the rest of knights go off and gallivant around with their stupid mistletoe. the last thing he heard was kasa-kun asking for his help (nope) as the other three members of knights drown him in kisses. ]

Annoying. [ izumi grumbles under his breath, checking the kettle. so fucking annoying.... ]

[ Senahaus is decorated for the holidays, because Arashi is an angel and has helped to enthusiastically deck the halls, including the mistletoe that he had gotten while he was out with Ruka earlier in the week. He's excited about the holly and tinsel and all the stops, but, most of all, he's excited about the mistletoe.

He kisses Arashi happily, and then lets her pepper his face in them in return, coupled with coos and leaving a big, glossy mark on his cheek. He hums when Ritsu kisses him, cupping his face and thumbing his cheeks when he returns it. And then he bombards Tsukasa's cheeks and forehead in kisses, before leaving him for the ~~wolves~~ other two, creeping along to wrap himself around Sena from behind.

One hand settles in the center of his chest - nice - and Leo rolls up to his tiptoes so he can hook his chin over his shoulder. Lips pursed into a (very cute) smile, he nuzzles his nose against his jaw and squeezes his other arm around his waist. ] Ne, Sena, what's so annoying now~?

[ god. this house is so festive, it's going to make sena's eyes hurt. it feels like there's tinsel on every surface in senahaus, and it's seriously adding to the fact that everyone in knights treats this damned studio like it's their house. snacks, a kotatsu, a freaking christmas tree; it's too much. (says sena, as he's pouring himself a cup of tea.)

he's mentally grumbling about this with his hand on the tea kettle when suddenly, there's a presence behind him. izumi doesn't startle or anything, because if there's anyone that'd dare to come up and grab him like that, and though he doesn't make any other reaction, he does seem to push his weight down just a little, as if to make the height difference a little easier for leo.

his expression stays forward, though, eyes on his tea, expression cooled into something disinterested. ] You, Ousama. [ which is...not totally a lie? but he mostly says it because he's expecting to get the reaction. ] What do you think you're doing?

[ If Sena really wanted them to stop, he would actually put his foot down. It might not work entirely, but he would be able to at least get them to be a little less extra. But, here they are - effectively in all their second homes, because this is where their second family is, where Leo feels the most comfortable and happy, because it's them. It's Sena.

He cuddles closer to Sena's back when he makes it easier for him to do it, eyes closed and heart warm in his chest. His fingers curl in his shirt, and his cat-like smile turns into a beaming one, almost to the point of dimpling in his cheeks.

... but then Sena says he's annoying. ] Mean!! So mean! [ He pouts, but doesn't let go, green eyes focusing on the side of his face now. ] I came to make sure Sena didn't feel left out of the festivities, but then he says something like tha~t.

[ leo pressed into his back isn't unfamiliar; it's nice, actually. he's always been clingy, so free and open with his hugs and his cuddles and kisses and his i love yous, and though izumi's always claimed to find it obnoxious, his actions speak a lot louder than his words. he leans back just a tiny bit, stays close, and lets his eyes close for a brief moment--if he does, he can almost imagine leo's bright smile.

...and then, like clockwork, comes the whining.

izumi rolls his eyes, and reaches up to put his tea kettle warmed hand on leo's face, giving him a little push. ] I'm not interested in your shitty version of festivities. You can go slobber on everyone else, and if anyone comes near me, they'll regret it.

[ OK SENA. ]

[ It really is unfortunate that Sena's so beautiful and so warm and secretly so soft, because he turns around and does these things. Is so prickly to cover it up. But Leo knows the truth, so of course he doesn't let go of him, and of course he nuzzles his nose into his neck a little even if he's been so, so rude.

There's more of a whine when he pushes his hand against his face, but instead of letting it really push him away, he just wraps his arms tighter around him. It means that he has to let go of his shirt, and also unfortunately his chest (a sad loss), so that he can wrap them both around his middle now. ]

It's not slobbering! [ Rude! But here Leo is, nuzzling into his hand instead of pulling away. It probably rubs off the mark Arashi left, but, whatever. He just wants to give Izumi the kisses he deserves. ] What if it was just me..?

[ good, it better rub off the stupid mark.

...not that izumi cares or anything.

sena rolls his eyes yet again, but that's pretty par for the course. now he's got a clingy leo, which is (not) the worst. from behind him, he can just hear the sound of the other knights frolicking around with the mistletoe, suou's distressed noises and naru cooing from across the studio, and it's all (not) annoying. it's all like a bickering, stupid family.

...it's maybe not that annoying.

izumi's gaze flicks back up to look at the wall in front of him, and if leo's close enough, he just might notice his cheeks pinkening. ] ...it's not like there's any mistletoe or anything in here, stupid.

[ B-BAKA!! ]

[ A part of him wants to go back with the others, to harass their youngest member further and to steal a few more kisses from the others. But he also wants to stay here, tucked close to Sena's back where he's warm and solid, and he can feel how his face is coloring just as much as he can see it from his position.

His tongue pokes out of his mouth, but he bites down on it to try and pull back the smile that threatens to spread wider across his face. Maybe he should go and get one of the numerous sprigs that have been brought into the studio? Or drag Sena over to one of the more secluded corners so that he can kiss him under one.

... but, well. ] Do we need one? [ Totally innocent, as if he doesn't have that particular lilt to his voice, the one that threatens to become something more than just teasing. ] I can go and get one, if you want one, Se~na.

[ it's...not so bad having leo that close to him. he's always been excessively warm, a human heater, and there's no one here watching. (at least as far as he knows, anyway.) alone, he can bask just a tiny bit in his nuisance king's attention, in his warmth.

it doesn't help that leo can't really see his face, either.

still, never one to tell the truth when he could hide it, sena scoffs. ] You're trying to trap me with mistletoe and now you want a kiss? Greedy.

[ he stays quiet for a long minute, rolling his gaze up to look at the ceiling, but, if leo's going to whine, sena's going to cut him off. he turns his head to the side, just enough to steal a quick peck. ]

[ Everything about Leo feels warmer when he's close to Sena, like the poor circulation in his hands and feet is suddenly gone because he gets to be so, so close to him. They fit together in a perfect way, one that makes him happy and just want to be with him constantly, to never be apart from him. So he doesn't care if there's anyone watching them. Doesn't care because he's so content. ]

I'm a greedy king! [ As if that's actually true. He just wants a kiss - wants every kiss he can get, honestly - but he'd give up everything for Sena if he asked. After all, he told him he'd do anything for him. Whatever would make him happy.

A soft whine starts to build in the back of his throat, but then the peck cuts it off at the pass. He perks up immediately, almost seeming to poof, and then he ducks his face down against Sena's shoulder and practically purrs, the hum at the back of his throat is so happy. There's a nuzzle, but - ] ... 'nother one.

[ oh my god. ] Are you serious?

[ but no. of course he's serious, he's leo. sena's bitching is pretty much par for the course, even though it's warm and quiet away from everyone else, the rest of knights distracted harassing their youngest member. even if it's kind of romantic, the two of them alone.

not that he's saying that, though. he's also not saying that leo's cute when he puffs up like that, like a cartoon character. he rolls his eyes to the ceiling, instead, because that's much safer, and scoffs at his attachment--but, he'll take the moment to make fun of him, instead, leering just a little. ] Why should I, hmm~? You're like a needy cat... ♪ Give me a good reason, there's no mistletoe around, ou-sa-ma.

Of course I am!

[ Leo is always very serious about his love for Sena, and that includes his kisses. He's serious about wanting them, each and every one of them, so of course he's going to ask for another one. But Sena is Sena, and he's super rude, and he lifts his face up from the back of his shoulder to pout softly at him when he starts picking on him. So mean! Definitely picking on him! ]

What, kisses aren't a good enough reason? All Sena would have to say is that he wanted a kiss, and I'd give him so many. [ He brings his hand up again, curling his fingers in the front of his shirt just at his sternum and lifting his head up again to hook his chin over his shoulder. Just so he can get closer like before. ] But I can go get mistletoe, if that's what it'll ta~ake.

[ it's cute, that pout. izumi's pretty sure he's aware of all the things he can get away with with a face like that--god knows izumi is aware of it--and it makes him chuckle, a somewhat gentle noise.

he shifts, easily, enough that it'll be a little easier for leo to hook over his shoulder like that, and though sena's expression stays pretty still, he lifts his hand and quietly covers it with his own. no one's around to say anything, no one's watching. if he spreads his fingers and lets them rest between leo's knuckles, no one has to know.

eventually, he tilts his head back just a little, temple to temple, eyes closed. tea can wait, just a little. ] Could you be any more annoying about this? [ there's hardly any heat to the quip, either. ]

[ Immediately, Leo spreads his fingers so that they can lace theirs together, happy even with just that small gesture. Being close to Sena, being with him and holding him and touching him, makes him happy. He's also not so oblivious as people assume him to be, considering he can read Sena like a book a lot of the time. Clear across Senahaus, all on his own, he knows that he was grumpy and jealous. Knows he loves Knights, but that doesn't stop him from feeling those feelings.

His eyes close when their temples fit together, and the pout turns into a soft smile. Warm, soft, intimate in their privacy - Izumi smells and feels good. He's happy. ]

Mm, probably. [ Slowly, Leo rubs his thumb against Sena's chest where he's still holding onto him. Away from the others, it's like they're an island unto their own. And he's happy for it, happy to be here, happy to be back and with his most beloved knight. ]

Please don't. [ wow, a please. it's acrid and rude, but it's still a please.

the tone of it is also completely dissonant with the soft moment happening here. leo laces their fingers together and izumi doesn't push it off or bitch or whine: he just folds his fingers over the top of leo's knuckles and huffs a sigh. the expression on his face is soft, too, unguarded for once, a face izumi rarely lets anyone see.

he's happy too. happy leo's back, even if he's bad at saying it. happy leo's smiling again, that it's not cracked and desperate anymore. that things--though not perfect--are feeling like a home again.

izumi huffs a sigh, the noise soft. the tea kettle hasn't boiled yet; leo's quiet. izumi could ruin it with this conversation, but it's something they need to talk about, anyway, with repayment festival looming just a few months away, and if they're an island away from the other knights making chaos, then...maybe that time's right now.

tone even, betraying no other emotions (hope, fear, nerves, anything.) ] ...What are you doing after graduation?

[ Naru-chan like chasing love.

She does not like being chased by it, their little chats have him understand this much about love. Even if it's him, who's dumb and knows his dumb feelings are betraying him and Naru-chan anyway. He was doing a good job of playing dumb at least, up until mistletoe strikes.

They were having fun going around to all the stores around the area during the holiday season, and even if he had no reason nor the money to get extravagant things, it's fun to spend time with Naru-chan just like this. She even got him a teddy bear that he maybe eyed too much, holding it in his arms with some of the shopping bags. Said oversized bear is now useful for hiding his face, red as some of the holiday decorations around them. ]

Nn...

[ If he kisses her, it'll probably be a bad kiss and could send that aforementioned message Naru-chan wouldn't want. Mika is nothing at all like the type that she's interested in, there's little hope there. But, getting kissed isn't much better; he's totally going to overreact, because he secretly wouldn't mind a kiss. But he doesn't want to Naru-chan to unknowingly indulge a crush that Mika was fine with going unnoticed. Naru-chan would definitely notice after that, and the outcome is uncertain and scary.

Who ties little bells on mistletoe too? If it weren't for a draft, they probably would have overlooked the dumb sprig. But they both saw it, and Mika would like to die, thank you. But... He can die on his own terms. Lifting his head and not realizing he has a new cowlick, half of his face is obscured by teddy. ]

Does... does Naru-chan mind?

[ Either or. He's made his mind though, he'd prefer one over the other. ]

[ it's not quite a date.

but mika-chan's birthday is coming up soon, and even though mika has no reason nor the money to get extravagant things, that's certainly enough reason for her to splurge money on one of her dearest friends.

it's the holidays, after all. it's the season for giving, and this is just one way to show it.

they're on the way to a sweet shop when the mistletoe strikes. the mistletoe, with the tiny bells and strung up all on odd sections of the pathway as part of the decorations, isn't completely unwelcome, but it's a surprise that she should have seen coming, nonetheless, with the whole christmas spirit, and all. it doesn't take an expert to read mika's body language, how uncomfortable he looks at the prospect of the mistletoe, and arashi's about to reassure him that it's fine, they don't have to kiss if mika doesn't want to, she understands, because as obnoxious as arashi can be sometimes about physical affection, especially with izumi and leo and the rest of knights, she's never been unintentionally cruel enough to subject anyone to anything that's way out of their comfort zone.

she doesn't get to, though, because her eyes widen for a moment, caught completely off guard - that's the part that she's not quite expecting, and that's the thing that makes everything that has happened over the past few months kind of just.

click.

in her head, and-- ]

Oh, Mika-chan. [ arashi isn't that much taller than mika is, so it's easy to maintain eye contact, even as she takes a step closer, closes the gap between them, and there's a moment before her hand rests on mika's, pushing it down gently so that the lower half of his face isn't obscured by the teddy bear. ] I don't, I-- I'd just never thought you'd ask.

[ mika's right, though. she's always preferred the thrill of the chase, the way everything falls into place on her own terms, the exhilaration that comes with knowing that she's finally been able to obtain her objective, the target of her affections. but this is mika-chan, who'd once found arashi intimidating and scary, who's become one of her closest friends, who gave her a bouquet of flowers on white day, and--

(it's a whole different kind of exhilaration that comes with it, she muses, the way her heart kind of tightens in her chest for a brief moment because she's not sure why she didn't see it before)

--it's why she tilts her head down a little, her fingers closing around mika's arm to hold onto him, leans in to kiss the corner of mika's lips. it's nothing like the playful kisses she uses to needle izumi, no, this is soft, a little bit more gentle, and while she clearly knows what she's doing, it's also a little bit more tentative, because the last thing that arashi wants to do is to spook mika. ]

[ Even when not muffled by a weak attempt to smother himself in his teddy bear, he hugs it tighter. This feels like such a bothersome thing to have Arashi deal with, even when he doesn't want it to be. Most certainly, it is a bother to kiss him, because it's given to a worthless person like Mika from someone worth so much. Their friendship is just as precious... ]

Nhaaa, I asked 'cuz it'd probably be bothersome to have to...

[ Mika's voice is soft, still. Even if he's wanting it despite being a little afraid, the shy child in him freezes when Arashi closes in. He's desperately coming up with a couple reasons so she doesn't feel obligated to kiss him, he didn't want to confess in such a silly way (that seems to be the way she read it because she's that observant and smart, but Naru-chan, please no).

Said excuses die on the vine when he feels her hands on his arm and lips on the side of the mouth. She's being gentle with him, compared to a kiss he might have expected from her, what she's done to tease others. That makes it wonderful though because she cares. A kiss that doesn't try to kill him from shock is a good one.

What do you do after these things? They don't make a big deal out of what happens after kisses except with a silence that doesn't apply well here, it's not like Mika reads shoujo manga or romance novels to know better. But he reaches up with his hand, touching her cheek lightly. ]

'm sorry, Naru-chan. This is a hassle, right? But ya still do nice things for me, even when they're hassles.

[ His face is warm and definitely flushed, but he's doing his best to maintain eye contact. Arashi never judges his mismatched eyes as weird or ugly, but it's still an effort to keep his head tilted up and not away. ]

Edited 2018-01-11 14:31 (UTC)

[ there's a moment, after arashi pulls away, where it feels like everything has stopped, frozen in time for that one moment where she can hear her own breathing, her heart thundering in her ears, and it's--

it's nice. different, but nice.

it startles her, for a moment, when he reaches out to touch her cheek lightly, because it's not something that she's expecting. the edges of her eyes are crinkled into a smile that's definitely more genuine than scripted, and arashi leans into mika's touch, just a hint of pink on her cheeks. ]

Oh, Mika, honey-- [ and her fingers move up to close around mika's wrist loosely. just to keep him there. for a bit. ] --Of course I would. You're never a hassle to me, okay? You could never be.

[ someone kind and gentle and loyal, who gives and never really expects anything in return could never be a hassle.

sometimes arashi feels like she's the luckiest person to have a friend like mika, mismatched eyes and all.

a pause, and then, it's soft: ]

Can I kiss you again, Mika-chan?

[ never mind that they're in the middle of the shopping district - it's all white noise to her as far as she's concerned - all that matters is the feeling in her chest, half scared and half hopeful, she has too much baggage and too many reservations and mika doesn't deserve any of it, but--

kissing him was nice, and knowing that he has feelings that may or may not be the same (it feels different, nothing like the kind of feelings like she has for kunugi-sensei) and it's new and alarming and there's a part of her that still wants to kiss mika anyway, wants to be selfish.

so she asks. and she waits. ]

[ Isn't it nice? Mika almost feels like he could float with his feelings. He was sure it would be the opposite, because that's why people freeze during romantic things right? He's certain when he's had to speak up in class, it's just the weighted feeling that keeps him an place and struggling to answer Kunugi's questions. But none of that. He has to look down when Arashi asks, like it gives space to think about it all. He'd... he's like that. But, looking up, shifting his fingers on Arashi's cheek. ]

...After this.

[ She wants to kiss him again. That... that makes him so happy. He's worth kissing, and he knows it's from someplace genuine and meaning so much for them both. He really, really likes Arashi, and maybe since Mika's known her long enough, understands her enough, it's okay. She kisses him because he's curious and indulging him. But, Mika wants more. He wants to be a little braver and know far he can go. It's one thing to have something silly like his feelings be acknowledged, but another to act on them and go from there. Isn't it what Arashi would want, for Mika to act on his own feelings, rather than be a doll?

The rest of the world becomes white noise for him too, uncaring for where they are because it's a good opportunity, even he can see that. He brings his hand from her face to the back of her head, enjoying the way her short hair feels brushing past his fingers as he leans in. He knows how she did it was tentative so Mika wouldn't be startled... and this is honestly just a step up from that. He presses his lips against hers, and he licks her bottom lip lightly before pulling back, embarrassed, but smiling so that she knows he doesn't regret being sneaky. ]

Fufu. Now you can, Naru-chan.

[ Even if his cheeks are pinker now, there's a coyness in those topaz eyes. He isn't sure whether to be a little impatient or die of his shyness coming for him, but he certainly wants to be kissed a little more than what he can do. He'll take anything though. He accepts a lot of Naru-chan, pretty and less pretty and everything. ]

[ 'tis the season to be jolly, and all that. Hinata and Yuta both love Christmas, despite the fact that most people would assume twins don't like sharing yet another holiday the way they do. But, they do, and they celebrate it with great gusto, especially with the fact that they have Sakuma Rei as their senpai. Gusto is the only way that they can do most anything, even Yuta.

But Hinata, he has been spending all day trying to catch Tetora for even a minute. He's kissed Yuta, each of Undead because of mistletoe, and some of his classmates, all on the cheek, but there's Nagumo Tetora that he still needs to catch for more than just the fact they're classmates. He's run away from him every single time he's even spotted the mistletoe, leaving the elder twin pouty and mulish but regardless determined.

So the second that he sees a familiar head of black and red, he perks up, smile spreading across his face. The sprig of mistletoe he's carried around all day is at the ready, as he starts to jog along to catch up with him. ] Ne, Tetora-k~un!

[ Don't you fucking run from him again you tsundere shit. ]

[ what is the point of this dumb tradition!!!!! there isn't one, in tetora's very serious opinion!! he's been dealing with taichou being annoying about mistletoe all day long, and now, a guy can't even sit in class without being harassed!!

so, he's managed to practically make a game out of avoiding hinata, who is a menace. tetora's tired of getting slobbered on by everybody--and he couldn't even catch taishou with the mistletoe himself--so he's grumpy and trying to be sneaky at the same time. when hinata calls for him, his shoulders jerk up, and nope-- nope. nope. NOPE!!

he's outtie. ] Aw--put that thing away before ya come try and talk to me!!

[ (there's a reason why Tetora couldn't catch Kuro)

(it's because he was avoiding him and the rest of the karate club)

There are so many points to this dumb tradition!!! And Hinata would be happy to list all of them, if only Tetora would only stop running away from him!!!! But, no, he's running away from him, and it's very rude and unfair, because all he wants to do is kiss him. Is there something so wrong with that? ]

Come on, Tetora-kun! It's not a big deal! [ He gives chase, because Tetora might be more fit than him, but that's not going to slow him down any. He is lean and quick. ]

we'll sing a love song as we go along
