It's that time of year! You've found yourself underneath the mistletoe -- either at a holiday party, or perhaps Astoria has enchanted mistletoe throughout the Circle premises! Either way, you're underneath some mistletoe.

And now kiss.

Or not. Maybe just yell at them instead.

Happy holidays??

[She's waiting expectantly.]

...well?

[shootstyles]

Ummm.

[Surely... she can't mean...]

[fairysong]

What did we literally just say you should do?

You're a man-- so act like one!

[shootstyles]

But I...

I don't know how to kiss anyone!

[fairysong]

[...well, he's not her usual type...]

[fairysong]

[But he is kind of cute in a weird way? And he's a little younger than her, she's guessing. Maybe she's been a little too harsh about this?

But if he's never kissed anyone, should she really--

It's just a Christmas mistletoe kiss, right?] All right, fine.

[fairysong]

[Sorry, Deku.

She's just going to step in, press her hand to your cheek, and lean forward and in for a quick smooch on the mouth. Nothing deep or serious. Just a peck.]

[shootstyles]

[He just.

Stands there. Staring at her like he can't really believe she's real. And then suddenly he's trembling, like he might pass out or throw up or have a heart attack.

Did... did a girl just kiss him? A really really pretty girl??? Kissed??? Him??? What is this place? Is he dreaming? Is she a villain? Is she going to shank him now?]

Ahh...

I...

Um.

[fairysong]

[And it is now that she gets a little self conscious.]

...well? Don't just stand there, gaping. Say something!
