Mistletoe?

[Wait.]

[Wait. Wait, he's read about this! Mistletoe, something that couples do underneath it, and Christmas--]

You... don't think...

[personafalsify]

... I'm just not going to say what I think. [ But he'll say that he won't say what he thinks because slightly drunk. ]

Come on, let's see if we can find some way out.

[ BECAUSE COME ON, THERE'S GOTTA BE ONE... ]

[distressedude]

Uhm... all right. [And just... gonna glance around now. He can't move his legs, and he can't really get any further away from Kohan than he is right now. And given he was just leaning on Kohan for support? He's pretty darn close!]

[In fact, he feels like he's only just now registering how close they were standing to each other. Here they were, standing right by the door, and sooner or later people were going to notice that they weren't moving apart.]

Maybe we could try taking it down? I don't think I can't reach it, but...

[personafalsify]

Worth a shot.

[ Because Kohan has Riku's awesome tall genes.

So he will reach up and try to grab the mistletoe. Unfortunately for the both of them, Seventh Heaven does not have a particularly low ceiling.

It's a couple of seconds and one dangerous sway later when Kohan gives up. ]

... I don't think I could reach it even if I could jump.

[distressedude]

[A-Ah, don't fall now, bro! With their legs stuck to the ground, who knows what would happen if they lost their balance? Would their legs just give out on them? What a terrible thought. It's enough to prompt Ion into reaching over to hold Kohan steady -- just in case, of course.]

[Though who's to say he couldn't use the help balancing himself.]

...oh. Well... perhaps we should try something else?

[...]

[Staring.]

[personafalsify]

Probably. Maybe we could...

[ look back down at Ion and find him staring and promptly lose that train of thought. ]

... uh.

[distressedude]

Maybe we could...

[He doesn't really know where his own thoughts are right now. And if he was sober, perhaps this thought wouldn't have even crossed his mind.]

[But here it was, and with each passing second he could feel his face growing hotter and his mind growing heavy, as though he could just curl up somewhere and fall asleep right now.]

[He still hasn't pulled his hands away, clinging slightly to Kohan's shirt. It's a good thing he's talking somewhat slowly, or the slur in his words might make them hard to decipher.]

...it's... what people are supposed to do under mistletoe... right?

[personafalsify]

... yeah... [ Ion feels so warm against him, and the world is getting fuzzy at the edges. Kohan swallows thickly and tries to look to the side, but it doesn't even take a second before his gaze is drifting back. ]

And we only have to... try it once, if it doesn't work...

[ He. might. be leaning in here. ]

[distressedude]

[Kohan may look away, but Ion just can't bring himself to. He doesn't know what it is -- maybe the alcohol is just getting to him, or maybe it's the feeling of Kohan's body against his own. But in this moment, right now, suddenly all he can think about is that week nearly a year ago where he spent a great deal of time being this close to Kohan.]

[And there's only one thing he can think of doing in a situation like this. His body moves almost without realizing it, and soon he has one hand on Kohan's chest and another at his shoulder.]



Well, in that case... we'd just have to try again.

[There's no waiting for a reply. In an instant, he's leaning up and pressing his lips against Kohan's -- impulsive and impatient.]

[And it's probably a good thing they're so close to a wall, because Ion isn't taking much consideration into where gravity will take him once they're freed from the mistletoe's grasp.]

[personafalsify]

[ Good indeed. Because Kohan here was expecting a semi-awkward "we both slowly lean in until we're kissing" thing. Suddenly having Ion's body against him, an unexpected freeing of his feet, and slightly lagging reaction times combine to send him stumbling backwards until his back hits the wall. Rather than flailing, his instinct is to grab Ion, and whether it was thanks to the kiss or out of intention to make sure Ion didn't fall his brain is not up to figuring out. So here he is, back pressed to the wall and holding Ion against him, and kissing, almost exactly like he remembers from the last time he and Ion kissed despite how long ago that was.

Was this a smart idea? Probably not. Was Kohan considering that right now? Hell no. ]

[fabrecation]

[So Luke was just thinking he'd go to Seventh Heaven to get some quality food to eat when

suddenly

A WILD MAKE OUT APPEARS

Luke very nearly trips over his own feet once he sees it, and he gapes open mouthed at the sight. It's part the fact that oh god, he just walked in on two people making out, and part IS THAT ION PRESSING KOHAN AGAINST A WALL??

He makes a very quiet noise as he lifts a hand, as if to say something but having his voice get caught in his throat, then glances away, his hand lowering awkwardly...

And then just walks right back out at a fast pace, and makes sure to slam that door shut behind him.

Just. Nope. Nope nope nope.]

[distressedude]

[Ion doesn't even register the fall -- he only feels Kohan's arm wrap around him as he returns the kiss, and suddenly all rational thought is gone. If not for Kohan's lips pressed against him own, giving rise to those memories of the last Valentine's Day, he might not even be aware of what he was doing. He could feel his body heating up, and all thoughts of doing this to be freed from the mistletoe were gone -- he just wanted to kiss Kohan right now. That's the only honest explanation he could think of right now.]

[Until he hears the slamming of a door, belatedly bringing him back to reality just enough to remember that other people are here... but still not quite enough to care, given his drunken state.]

[Have fun with that, Kohan.]

[personafalsify]

[ Well, Kohan is not too drunk to care about the sudden reality check. Perhaps a bit too much deja-vu. But suddenly he's very aware of the fact that they are practically making out in a somewhat crowded restaurant. So there will be slight nudging of Ion in the "away from Kohan" direction. ]

Ion.

[distressedude]

[Ion may be a bit on the clingy side right now, but he's still drunk and he's still Ion, so pushing him off isn't exactly a difficult feat. His face is bright red by now, and not because he's embarrassed. It seems the Fon Master has the left the building.]

Yes, Kohan? [...] Oh! We're free now, aren't we?

[Didn't. Even. Notice.]

[personafalsify]

Yeah. So we should [ ... ] get you home.

[ Because if that's what a simple kiss did, Kohan is not risking actually bringing Ion home.

And maybe he won't remember what Kohan agreed to? H O P E F U L L Y ? ]

[distressedude]

But... I thought I was going to your house?

[And then Kohan became the unluckiest man in all of Luceti.]

[personafalsify]

[ Dammit. ] Yeah... it's probably better if you go home. After... that.

[distressedude]

...okay!

[So agreeable! ...all the better for him to be going home, yes.]

Oh! But I don't think I can walk back by myself. I'm still a little... dizzy.

[personafalsify]

[ ... sob. ]

Alright. I'll walk you back...

[distressedude]

Really? [Briiight smile.] Oh, thank you Kohan! You're such a kind person.

[personafalsify]

Well, I couldn't let you just fall out there.

[ And he pushes open the door. Brrr it's cold! ]

[distressedude]

Don't worry, I'm not going to fall. [He says as he stumbles right out the door and almost immediately has to cling on Kohan's arm for support.] Whoops!

...see, I didn't fall!

[personafalsify]

Yeah, because I'm here. [ ... wait ] To lean on. [ ... wait ] And walk you home.

[ At least he isn't as drunk as Ion. ]

Come on. Let's get you home so you can get warm again.

[ So Kohan is now walking forward. Hope you're moving your feet, Ion. ]

[distressedude]

Oh, but I already feel warm, though! [Said between some giggles. The alcohol is, naturally, to blame.]

[But at least he's walking, though! Not quite in a straight line, but he doesn't have to worry about falling and landing on his face so long as he's got Kohan's arm to lean on!]

[And maybe nuzzle against a little. Sorry bro.]

And you feel warm too! Even if it's cold outside... it's nice.

[personafalsify]

Y-yeah.

[ Pointedly Not Thinking about Ion being warm. Because even though Kohan isn't much of a cuddler, the idea of just curling up together for a while is sounding pretty nice...

He gives his head half a shake to dislodge the train of thought, then focuses on the path in front of them. ]

Still, it'll get much colder once it's dark, so let's not take too long.
