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!

... that is not the response i was expecting, and all the better for it, omg. can i have some pasta.

[ceded]

[ That gets her to laugh a little. ] Well, maybe I can help you keep away from it. Or just set it on fire when we see it!

I LIVED IN ITALY I COOK A LOT WHAT ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH GARLIC

[gordianknots]

Hm, fire might be a tad too destructive, I suspect. But I won't say no to the help.

make all sorts of delicious things besides pasta :?

[ceded]

[ She takes a few steps away, glancing up at the ceiling again before looking down at him. ] Don't worry. I'd be careful not to burn anything except the mistletoe. Besides... I don't see any. Do you?

Garlic soup is an option 8|a

[gordianknots]

[Waver looks up as well, taking an experimental step left.]

No, not at the moment

that. that's. a thing?

[ceded]

At the moment? [ Looks up again, mirroring him by taking a step to her own left. ]

... do you mean it can just suddenly show up?

HECK YES

[gordianknots]

Well, probably not, but given this city's tendency to pull stunts, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Aaaand another step, which is just as well. But now that he looks over at Xion, well--]

[ceded]

[ She seems to be standing under a sudden sprig of mistletoe. She simply stares up at it.

Without looking down, she kind of. Shrugs. ]

[gordianknots]

--Welp. Davesprite isn't around, is he?

[ceded]

[ That gets her to look at him, and blush indignantly. ]

Waver!

[gordianknots]

Yes?

[He smiles and shrugs, completely innocent.]

[ceded]

... I guess really everybody does know, huh... [ She rubs the back of her neck, glancing off to one side sheepishly, but with a goofy, fond smile she can't seem to swallow, either. ]

[gordianknots]

I hate to tell you, but you're both terrible at being subtle.

[Which isn't to say that the smile he offers back is anything less than pleased. He takes a beat, and walks over to kiss the top of Xion's head.]

hi c:

[ceded]

[ She makes a sound at the back of her throat, too surprised to try and say anything else, when he presses a kiss to her hair. The feeling that washes over her is not one she's ever really experienced before. She thinks, maybe, she's felt it a little bit around Dirk, and some of the other residents of house 12. In those moments when they've protected her, kept her close, called her family. The warmth in her heart then... she feels it now. But there's something different about it.

It's not ... a bad feeling, she thinks. It's sort of ... nostalgic, and sad, and sweet, all at once. It makes her happy, but it also makes something in her chest go strangely tight.

(What is a family?)

Once Waver straightens up, he'll find that she's looking at him with an expression of perfect surprise, her bright blue eyes just a little wide.

And then, before the space of a breath has passed, she tips forward and throws her arms around him in a hug. ]

uwu hi friend.

[gordianknots]

[Waver bends down a bit, just so Xion isn't dangling off the floor and straining her arms and his neck. There's no point in breaking the hug, hell he should have given her one after the Grail War for surviving all of that but, better late that never.]
