@daddycrcw sent—— 🎄 – a kiss under the mistletoe
“ ah. ” she notices the sprig of ( what she can only assume is mistletoe ) almost as soon as she steps into the club room. it’s not surprising , and she doesn’t grant it more than a simple blink and a sigh. tanaka and nishinoya have already done their yearly tradition of asking her out on a christmas date , which she declined in both cases , so she supposes it’s not unfathomable that they prepare a plan b of mistletoe and hope to find her under it.
she should take it down. if takeda-san comes and notices it , they’ll probably be scolded. shimizu has a feeling that he turns a blind eye to tanaka’s and nishinoya’s childish antics , but mistletoe is ... almost too adult-like for teenagers. at least , if she was an adult teacher , she would probably think that way about her students , too.
hopelessly , she stretches her hand up to try to reach it , but her fingertips only brush the bottom of the leaves. the little bell tied around the stems twinkles softly , and shimizu frowns at it. come back with a step ladder , a mental note in her brain writes. that , or she can ask sawamura , though she’s not sure he’ll fare much better than her. after all , he did shrink from the last measurements ... “ can you help me ? ”
she doesn’t really believe in rituals like this. but ... “ are you superstitious , sawamura ? i can give you a kiss. ” she has no problem with it , though she’s thankful it’s only him here , and not tanaka or nishinoya screaming like wild animals. shimizu parts her lips and exhales softly , craning her neck to offer a kiss to his cheek. it suffices well enough , she thinks. now , time to take that thing down. “ anyways , you can probably rip it off. it’s only taped. ”
