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]]

O-oh goody! ♥

[Somehow. He emerges in the midst of changing his shirt. Or maybe he was taking off. Or maybe Mako did this just so she could use the appropriate icon...

And stares at Ai.]

........

[He blinks. What could she possibly want?]

[violetcandypop.livejournal.com]

Hello.

[She is rather chipper. She gestures towards the mistletoe.]

Look.

[loverofinnocence]

[He follows where she points and blinks. Oh. It's one of the plants.

Caim looks back to her and raises her eyebrows as he shakes his head. They don't have those in Caerleon. So explain it to him, Princess Ai.]

[violetcandypop.livejournal.com]

It's mistletoe. When you find someone underneath, you have to give them a kiss.

[She looks a little self-conscious, remembering the hand kissing incident from a month or two ago. Since then, she's learned more about kisses and proper kiss etiquette.]

[loverofinnocence]

[A kiss?

Caim looks back up to the mistletoe and then back to her once more. His right hand lifts and he taps his nose, then his lower lip, and then his cheek.

Where?]

[violetcandypop.livejournal.com]

[Ai looks back at Caim, intensely. She shakes her head, confused with what he's trying to ask. She reaches, and pulls both his wrists down; she wants him at her level.]

Here-!

[loverofinnocence]

[He lets her draw him down, just so he can be eye-to-eye with her. What a brazen young girl she's become. He sees but a glimpse of Furiae in her. But there is a likeness only. He hasn't forgotten that Ai is her own person.

His hands find hers, so small in comparison. She's so delicate, so gentle, next to him. He's a monster. He's a horrible creature. She's everything perfect.

Blue eyes watch her curiously and he leans in to brush the tip of his nose over hers...]

[According to Ai's research, kisses on the lips are for people who you really like. So she gives Caim a peck on the lips.]

There you go!

[loverofinnocence]

[He blinks at her. Just like that?

It's strange how it warms his heart. He didn't even know he still had one. So his next actions are a bit... uncharacteristic, perhaps, but his all the same.

Caim turns his head ever so slightly and settles a lingering kiss at the corner of her mouth. Give and give alike.

Thank you.]

[She smiles back at him and nods.]

Good job. Who else are you going to kiss?

[loverofinnocence]

[He blinks and helps himself up. One hand remains with hers and he casts a glance around. Then he shakes his head as his lips part and he forms silent words slowly for her.]

Kisses are not something to be so easily passed around. They are sacred tokens of affection, Ai.

[violetcandypop.livejournal.com]

[This... answer concerns her. Her smile fades slightly.]

You should kiss people you care about.

[loverofinnocence]

And I care about you.

[There. He's said it. Are you happy now? You better record that because he's not saying it again. Probably.]

[violetcandypop.livejournal.com]

[That brings a smile back to her face, but she's persistent as always.]

What about someone else? Don't you care about your other friends?

[loverofinnocence]

[Friends? What friends? Well, Caim supposes there is Riley. He's something akin to a friend. Samus is more like an acquaintance.

He thinks about it after a moment.]

I do not loathe them.

[Which is about as close as he can get, evidently.]
