the academia flashes with ornate decorations — from intricate light displays to festive greenery; if, for whatever reason, one were confused regarding the time of year, a single glance in nearly any direction would tell them that the holidays are steadily approaching. as manjoume wanders through the snow-covered courtyard, all that he had learned that day during classes treads lazily through his mind, keeping him occupied enough to successfully ( to some degree ) ignore the biting cold. ’tis the last week of classes before duel academia students are to be released for the season, and though he’ll be staying on the campus grounds, as per usual, he eagerly awaits the temporary freedom that will come from nearly a month with no classes.
he pauses under the arch of the obelisk blue dorm’s entrance, sifting through his pockets for his key so that he won’t have to be bothered with finding it later. while he’s busy with that, he doesn’t notice a familiar figure stalking close, approaching him so stealthily that when he finally does make his presence known, manjoume nearly jumps out of his own skin, almost dropping his keycard.
“ tenjoin-senpai?! ” his startled voice cracks, though some relief comes at the fact it’s just his favourite senior, and not someone wishing to cause him any harm. “ what are you doing waiting out here in the co— ”
before he can pose the remainder of his question, the older boy is directing his attention above his head, puzzling the sable-tressed duelist. somewhat reluctantly, he lifts his gaze to where it’s being guided, unsure of where to focus at first, before a flash of green at the arch’s corner catches his eye. mistletoe. soon thereafter, the younger student feels his cheeks warming up, and as wide eyes of obsidian return to the face of his senior, the expression he finds on the other’s face tells him all that he needs to know. ever the mischievous, of course fubuki put that there. if he weren’t such a talented duelist & a dependable friend, manjoume would question why he holds the other in such sky-high regards.
“ s-senpai … y-you’re joking, right? ”

❛ does it look like i’m joking ? c’mon , manjoume. it’s in the holiday tradition of course. ❜ he’s mischievous , removing subtly completely from play , beaming down at his underling with little regard for the clear embarrassment spreading across the other’s cheeks. the boy had spent days , weeks even , setting up for the christmas festivities , indulging himself with mistletoe shenanigans. it was a way to break the ice , to momentarily forget about the stress of schooling and the misfortune that seemed to favour their academy. to lighten things up , to break free from all that if just for a few weeks.
besides , if he can get his sister under the mistletoe with a certain someone , then it all worked out for him in the end. he was just doing his work as the famous love guru of the island. the blizzard prince had to have other professions , after all , and if his pop idol gig didn’t work out , at least this hobby of his would hold up.
as for manjoume , well , he was a victim to his upperclassman’s teasing. though , who else needed to lighten up more then him , so naturally fubuki had took it upon himself to bring that merry cheer his way. in the form of him and one devilish mistletoe hanging above them.
❛ i have to leave for the holiday’s , so naturally ---- i have to make sure i get the most out of the next few days. besides , there’s no way i could go ... without making sure you were prepared for the festivities. it’s what a good senpai would do. ❜
