Make a kiss and take a berry

[gricklegrass]

Who: YOU. EVERYONE. SMASH ACADEMY & FRIENDS.
What: Making out I mean MISTLETOE.
When: December 19th to January 1st.
Where: Everywhere.
Rating: The letter appropriate for Kissing & Violence against Plants & Swearing.

After Celebi's inquiries about tiny, berried plants, she came to a few conclusions. Either people really liked them or people were pretty indifferent to them! Or they were grumpy. There seemed to be a lot of grumpies. Clearly the solution to that was to bring the mistletoe on to campus and let it flourish! EVERYWHERE.

IT WAS EVERYWHERE.

In the halls. In doorways. Over your locker. Over your rival's locker. Dangling over your head exactly when you least expected it. If you did not want to encounter it you were probably encountering it.

And they were persistent! They were under the grass pixie's watchful eye this year. Did it just move when you tried to shoot it? Was the shot reflected back at you?? WHAT.

To make matters worse, if you happened to find yourself under certain sprigs of the holiday plant, you were stuck there. STUCK FOR ETERNITY, or at least until you got a smooch. How perfectly, wonderfully devious. There was a certain witch to thank for that.

HOW FESTIVE.

[[Have at it!! Post your dudes, go get smooches.

+ Celebi won't like you trying to destroy the plants. She will move them a couple of frustrating inches.
+ Some (not all!) plants are CURSED via Ashley. No moving until smooching. You better hope for a smooch.

Go get festive, Smash Academy BD]]

[How it happened nonwithstanding, Pit and Marth are now in considerable proximity of a mistletoe sprig. They were probably just innocently walking along, and Pit had it in him to at least say 'hi' and wave. Then he noticed the mistletoe and pointed to it like it had caught him offguard.]

Uaoh, mistletoe! I think you know what that means...

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

[No. No, no, no. Really? Really?

He stares at Pit.]

Surely you jest.

[Tell him you're jesting, Pit.]

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

[He is so not jesting!]

Why would I do that? It's mistletoe!

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

But...

[But, but, but. You don't understand, Pit.]

I am a boy.

[Like this should mean everything. Unless Pit thought Marth was a girl...]

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

[Have no fear, Marth! Your gender is safely filed under "male" in Pit's registry. However, he does look a little concerned now that you bring this up.]

Is there a problem? [Then it looked like realization smacked him across the face.] Oh! Maybe you do not feel comfortable kissing boys...

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

[Marth blinks. This... is probably the strangest conversation he's ever had with someone. Yes, Midna can make him very awkward from time to time, but this is... A lot more awkward in his opinion. His blue eyebrows furrow as he stares at Pit.]

I have never kissed a boy, so I would not know, but it has never quite been on my list of priorities.

[Then he pauses.]

However, it is the holiday season. And it is a tradition.

[Marth's been so stingy with his kisses all year. He finally leans over to Pit and rests a kiss to his cheek. Although he'd be lying if he said he had no hesitance.]

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

[Pit makes a soft noise as Marth kissed him, one of both surprise and glee. He made an exception... for him? Subsequently, as said glee had come after surprise, a smile spreads across his face and he gladly returns the tradition on Marth's cheek. There was definitely less hesitance there.]

There! That wasn't so bad, now was it? Happy holidays, Marth.

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

[Oh, by the Everlasting, just don't boast about it or anything. Marth doesn't think Pit will, though, so he imagines he's in the clear.

But Marth is blushing. He's evidently not real well versed in matters like this. He can lead an army into war. He can even rule an entire country. But for one reason or another, he just gets easily flustered at the thought of romance and other concepts of the like.

Except kisses can be innocent. Even between boys. He smiles idly.]

And to you, Pit. What are you doing for yours, anyway?

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

Oh, nothing special! I mostly hang around and celebrate it with my friends. I also give out presents and cards and help with decorating and stuff. So, what about you? Anything special?

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

[Marth thinks on it for a few moments. He's evidently not certain how to answer it without hesitation.]

It used to be that I would visit Akaneia during the holidays and different times of the year. This one, however, is different.

[Because of this being in love nonsense, he supposes. And it's not really nonsense in hindsight.]

I am hoping to spend it with some of my allies, I think. Much the same as you. Offering out gifts to those close to me. Enjoying the season, I think, before the snow and ice should melt.

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

We're not spending it so different then at all! These winter holiday traditions are new to me. I mean, I never celebrated them in Skyworld! That's where I live, you know. [He laughs a little.] Even the snow is kind of new stuff. It's fun to play in.

[aestheticemblem.livejournal.com]

The Skyworld?

[This is the first that he's heard of it. Or much of anything about Pit. Aside from the idea that he's an angel.]

I think that sounds rather... beautiful, actually. Sky anything sounds beautiful, though. Why is it that you never go back?

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

But I do go back! And it is beautiful. I wish I could show you! I wish I could show a lot of people.

[He places his palm against his cheek for a resting place, rolling his eyes away from contact and pulling his face like he's showing regret or consideration.] I... tried taking pictures once. They never compare to the real thing, which is a big fat shame. Maybe I need to learn more about photography first...

Porting over from LJ. → Marth

[loverofinnocence]

You mean you cannot take anyone with you?

[An interesting situation to be sure...]

Pictures will never exactly take the place of something to see with your own eyes, Pit. But for those who cannot go with you, you can only share with them the beauty readily available in your fingertips. And sometimes, all you have available are pictures.

[He taps at his chin gently.]

Have you ever considered using your pictures as incentive to convince them to join you on your next trip?

Porting over from LJ. → Pit

[loverofinnocence]

It's not that they don't want to go. It's just that... I don't know if they can go. I've never seen a human in Skyworld before.

Porting over from LJ. → Marth

[loverofinnocence]

Is this to do, perhaps, with your wings then?

[His eyebrows raise.]

You are all angels, I assume. It could be troublesome without wings or a Pegasus.

Porting over from LJ. → Pit

[loverofinnocence]

You betcha! It's a little hard to climb all the way high up, haha. [He gestures "high up" with his hand.]

[Pit doesn't want to go into detail about his nonfunctional wings, not if he has to. So he keeps quiet about that detail. Oh Pit.]

Well, uh... I should probably get going. See you later, Marth! Er- Prince Marth? [fssdhkjdsf OOPS] My bad, sorry!


[Taken from here for reference.]

[aestheticemblem]

[Marth blinks when Pit addresses him. It's a little odd to have anyone refer to him as 'prince' nowadays. Not that he particularly minds. His reaction initially is just a light laugh. He's not offended at all.]

What in the world are you apologising for?

[He shakes his head.]

You may call me whatever you would like, Pit. But we are friends, are we not? What use are titles with friends?

[pitticus]

[Pit breaks into an even bigger smile.] Marth, then! I'll just call you Marth.

[aestheticemblem]

And I will just call you Pit.

[He's still smiling.]
