It's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the year. For mistletoe!

[ceded]

Oh no, mistletoe!

 

SHOOT. Who put that there?! Well, you’re caught - pucker up!

How to Play

1. Post your character and canon in the subject line
2. Next person who responds is the one you’re caught under the mistletoe with!
3. Go as awkward, sweet, or embarrassing as you like! (Quick cheek peck? Full French? Sure! But you have to kiss or the Nargles will get you!)
4. Comment, Tag, and catch others under the mistletoe. Have fun!

[Waver takes a beat, offering Lamont his best impersonation of Grumpy Cat, before it fades away in an amused snort of confirmation.]

Yeah, several times.

[chiabrows]

[It takes Lamont quite a bit of effort to stifle the laugh that tries to escape him.]

S-- Several?

[What a great mental image.]

[gordianknots]

I was as surprised as you are, actually.

[chiabrows]

So, who was it?

[Ladies and gentlemen, Lamont, the gossiping schoolgirl.]

[gordianknots]

How old are you, exactly?

[Is Waver serious or is he kidding? We just don't know.]

[chiabrows]

Going on thirty-three. [A chuckle.] You don't have to tell me, I was just curious.

[gordianknots]

It was mostly a joke, but good to know. The fact I don't think Mr Todd is older than my graduate students made that an interesting kiss.

i shouldn't be allowed to be a mun

[chiabrows]

[He teasingly arches a brow.]

What's wrong with a little student-teacher action?

neither should i (but also brb bed)

[gordianknots]

[Lamont, Waver really hopes you're joking.]

Personal ethics and an abuse of power? I mean, technically he's not a student, but.

And now that I've shared one, its only fair for you to do the same.

[chiabrows]

[He's joking. Mostly.]

Mine's no where near as exciting as yours.

[gordianknots]

All the same, share.

[chiabrows]

Well, uh... [Sheepish chuckle.] I got caught with Saber, of all people.

[gordianknots]

--Chivalry kissing, then?

[chiabrows]

More or less. I tried to tell her it wasn't necessary, but she insisted it's tradition.

[Purposefully leaving out that she kissed him on the hand because it's embarrassing as all hell? Why no, of course he isn't, what made you get that idea.]

[gordianknots]

[No Lamont, that's actually really cute.] Sounds about right. She and I kind of grumpily agreed with tradition when we got stuck too.

[chiabrows]

Heh. Sounds like the two of you have been getting around.

[gordianknots]

[Pay no attention to the flush in Waver's cheeks.] In the most PG way possible, yes.

[chiabrows]

Not even PG-13?

[gordianknots]

You overestimate my skills in that department.

[chiabrows]

Just because you don't think you know how doesn't mean it can't happen.

[See: Jason Todd.]

[gordianknots]

[JASON IS A SPECIAL CASE]

Well there's the difference of being active versus passive too. Mr Todd, bluntly, blindsided me to the point where I was like this the whole time: [Waver pauses, displaying his exact surprised face. It's...well frankly he expects a laugh, he knows how silly it must look.] Which I fully acknowledge as an overreaction.

[chiabrows]

[It's a laugh he expects, and it's a laugh he gets, Lamont shaking his head amusedly before he reaches to pat Waver on the back of the shoulder, trying to urge him out of his seat.]

Alright, you need to get another shot at this.

[Wingman mode, activated.]

[gordianknots]

I think you'd probably make better use of it, admittedly.

[Waver stands up at least, and elbows him gently.]

waver with steve carell pb, can you imagine

[chiabrows]

[A true statement, but Lamont is determined to make this 40-year old virgin get another smooch!

Waver gets one more clap on the shoulder for that little jab, but it's all in good fun. Lamont scans the room -- the far end specifically, they have to be stealthy and not obvious about this -- for mistletoe with any potential targets nearby. After a moment, he seems to decide on one of the hanging clusters and nods for Waver to follow him as he begins casually sauntering toward it.

Too bad he didn't look closely over the near side of the room, because he's leading the both of them right under another of the plants.]

CRIES FOREVER

[gordianknots]

[If Wvaer was in Lamont's head, he would very politely point out that he had had sexual partners back home, but fortunately, he isn't.

He has, however, stopped to look up, just in time to realize that he and Lamont are under yet another one of those damn plants. Waver laughs, looking up.]

Oh for fuck's sake.
