#mistletoe

some short scenarios of gachiakuta boys accidentally kissing you on the lips, instead of your cheek featuring: august stilza • tamsy caines • enjin • gris rubion • arkha corvus • zodyl typhoon

╰┈➤ august stilza!

you were assigned to drag august out of his workshop for the holiday dinner

he was locked in his latest project and only you were enough of a reason for him to ditch it

august spotted it way before you did

he suppressed the urge to point it out, though

the moment you two entered the mess hall? chaos erupted

he hugged your shoulders, gesturing upwards with a massive grin

"BABYYY!!! GUESS WHAT WE LANDED ON?!"

you followed his finger and saw the mistletoe

the rest of the cleaners cheered, urging the two of you to kiss

you were embarrassed, of course

while august was not—he joined with the laughter

"DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE GETTING ALL SHY!"

you'd gather yourself together and join with the cheers

"Of course, not! If anything, I'm more than willing to!"

to your response, his smile widened even further, reaching the corners of his eyes

if you squint hard enough, you'd see the tips of his ears are red

"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!"

august leans down, lips aimed to your cheeks

but you moved, causing his lips to end up on yours

as if on cue, everyone cheered, sang, clapped, and praised

august lingered on the kiss for a few moments, before backing away with a grin

"how's the kiss, babe?" he asked, voice low

you coughed away your embarrassment and the fact that you wanted to kiss him more

"just the way i liked it!" you answered him

(under amo and riyo's persuasion, eishia set you two up)

╰┈➤ tamsy caines!

he swore that he was just getting a cup of water

which just happened to be by the door's side

and then, you crashed your way inside the room, nearly tripping

as the benevolent man that he is, tamsy helped you up

it was enjin who pointed at the obvious

you and tamsy both looked up at the same time

"ah... a mistletoe..."

you two stared at each other

you could feel your ears turning a shade of red

while he had a calm expression on his face

but inside, he was now hyper aware of your lips

"we don't have to kiss, if you don't want to," he murmured, leaning close to your ears

you could've sworn you saw him smirk when you flinched

enjin was hollering at the background, with delmon shouting a bunch of nonsense again

you stared at tamsy's beautiful face—from his long lashes, bright eyes, scar, and lastly, his lips

you could feel the heat on your cheeks when he caught your eyes

"but i'm assuming you want to, yes?" he chuckled, tipping your face upward

"i want to kiss you, tamsy," you voiced out, trying to avoid looking at his eyes

tamsy could almost coo at the sight of your embarrassed face

"go ahead, then."

with that, you leaned forward, lips about to reach the skin of his cheeks when suddeny—

he turned his head, lips crashing onto yours

immediately, you broke off, eyes widening whilst muttering apologies to him

he just laughed, patting your shoulders reassuringly

"there's no need to worry, [name]. i enjoyed it."

cue your face turning another shade of red

honestly, tamsy was glad he had planted the idea on delmon and enjin to put that mistletoe up

╰┈➤ enjin!

this man knew what he was doing from the start

he all but dragged you to the common room, smirk planted on his lips

"you're planning some shit. i just know it," you mumbled, squinting at him

"you're imagining things, hun," he rebutted, knowing damn well you were right

when he burst opened the door, the mistletoe fell down

semiu burst out laughing, alongside gris and bro santa

enjin clicked his tongue, mildly disappointed, before turning to you with a grin

"well, would ya look at that! a mistletoe landed on us."

you sighed, defeated, yet enjin could see the slight twitch of your lips upward

"this is what you dragged me for?"

he just shrugged, the cat was out of the bag anyway

"what? can't a man ask for a kiss from his type?"

you burst into a shade of light red, sneering at him

"dream on, buddy." you turned to leave, but he clamped a hand around your wrist

"c'mon, [name]! it's tradition! we need to kiss under the mistletoe."

you pointed at the dejected mistletoe on the floor

"yeah... we're not exactly under it now, are we?"

immediately, he took it in his hand, hanging up above his head with a shit-eating grin

"here. now we're under the damn mistletoe. how about a peck, hm?"

you rolled your eyes, shaking your head at his antics but you could feel your heart beating like a frenzy

"you're an idiot," you chuckled. then, you grabbed him by his collar and smashed your lips onto his

enjin was shocked, for the lack of better words, but pleasantly so. he snaked an arm around your waist and pulled you closer

but, you pulled back, mimicking his shit-eating grin as you slid away from his hold

"nuh uh, enjin. you said a peck, not a damn make-out session."

he clicked his tongue, annoyed, as you laughed your way towards semiu's side

but hey, at least he got to taste your lips. that has to count for something, right?

(it was semiu who loosened the mistletoe's hold. she needed to win a bet against gris and bro santa, okay?)

╰┈➤ gris rubion!

he just went to greet you at the door when suddenly tomme erupted into cheers

you and gris stared at her in utter confusion, before following her gaze and finding a mistletoe above

you two stared at each other, shocked, before avoiding each other's gazes due to shyness

follo laughed at the sight

"just kiss already!" tomme cheered

gris just chuckled, running a hand through his hair

he stared at you with gentle eyes, lips curving upward to a small smile

"sorry about the kids," he murmured, sending a glare with no heat towards the two young adults

you just laughed, "i don't mind, gris. i think they're funny."

"their egos might balloon even further if you tell them that."

you winked at him, pressing a finger on your lips

"then, i guess that's a secret between us, yeah?"

his eyes lingered on your lips, before nodded

the supporters' cheers didn't die, instead, they got louder after your little interaction

you two just shook your head, feeling a slight heat on your faces from their urges for a kiss

you peeked up at gris, a shy smile forming on your lips

"you know... i won't mind kissing you. we are under a mistletoe."

gris blinked, processing your words, before he smiled back in return

"are you sure? not being pressured by them now, are you?"

you shook your head

gris took a deep breath, already imaging how soft your lips would be on his cheeks

"okay then..." he mumbled, leaning down.

you leaned up, though the angle didn't align well for his lips landed on yours

both your eyes widened in shock, pulling away almost immediately with apologies stringing out your mouths

after a few moments, you two paused, then chuckled, cheeks reddening

"not bad for our first kiss," you teased, pressing a finger on your lips

he nodded, guiding you to your table. "yeah... though i'd like to get a few more seconds on it."

tomme and follo high-fived. they set it up

╰┈➤ arkha corvus!

he arrived last to the holiday dinner due to paperwork

when he arrived, you were on your way out

"oh, boss, you're here! i was about to go out to get you!"

he smiled softly, about to respond before someone pointed above the two of you

you two froze when your eyes landed on the mistletoe hanging from above

corvus coughed, hiding a small smile behind his fist

"well, would you look at that..." he trailed off, studying your expression

your eyes were wide, mouth opening and closing softly, but there was a hint of redness at the tips of your ears

you straightened your posture, eyes looking anywhere except corvus's

"um—we—i—" your voiced cracked "i mean—we don't have to do anything..."

he closed his eyes with a smile, leaning down slightly to match your eye-level

"may i ask why, [name]?"

you paused, brain halting any thoughts before blurting out, "because—um—'cause... you don't want to...?"

you winced, not truly believing in your won words either

he chuckled, staring straight into your eyes as the others cheered him on

"well," he drawled out, "what if i told you that's not the case?"

you jerked back, blinking at him with disbelief

he continued, "if you'd allow me, [name], i would like to kiss you... as per the tradition of the mistletoe, of course."

you swore you nearly combusted right there and then, because in what world was the arkha corvus saying he would like to kiss you?!

quickly, you gathered yourself and nodded, suppressing a smile

"i'd like that as well... corvus..."

he smiled, delighted by your answer as he leaned down to give you a chaste kiss on your lips

again, you swore you combusted right there and then... because you were imaging a kiss on the cheek, not on the lips!

but hey, you weren't complaining!

you gulped down any frenzied feelings buzzing inside you as the cheers of your fellow cleaners filled the room

corvus just laughed, giving an arm out for you to hold on as he guided you to your seat

he decided to ignore the shit-eating grin on semiu's face as enjin handed her a wad of cash

╰┈➤ zodyl typhon!

he had the raiders gather for a christmas celebration because he had read somewhere that it would be a good morale booster

and beside, it also gave him an excuse to relax—even if it was just for a moment or two

he had just arrived in the dining hall whilst you were in an altercation with jabber, who pushed you towards his direction

he caught you in his arms, and when you looked up, horror dawn upon you

not just because you landed on your boss, but also because of a goddamn mistletoe poking behind his head

you were about to thank him and book it out, when jabber decided to point at the mistletoe

"hey! ya two are under a mistletoe!" he stated with a knowing grin

you scrambled to pull away, ready to mumble some thanks and excuses

when jabber's voice cut through the room, loud and full of glee

"HEY BOSS! ya two are under the mistletoe!"

you whip around, ready to pounce on the man

but then zodyl's voice slips right beside your ear, "what does this mistletoe imply?"

you could feel the other raiders' eyes on you, collectively holding their breath

zodyl titled his head slightly, studying your expression

"explain. i prefer accuracy."

your mouth goes dry, silently cursing your teammate in your mind, as you tried to keep your voice steady

"um... it's... a tradition," you mumbled, averting your gaze. "if two people end up under a mistletoe, they're supposed to, y'know... kiss."

you could feel your ears burning red as zodyl blinked once, processing your words

he then glanced up at the mistletoe, then back at you—expression unchanged, but you swore something glinted in his eyes

"this tradition... is meant to foster morale, is it not?"

your brows furrowed, unsure of where this was heading, but you nodded nonetheless

his gaze drags slowly to your lips, evaluating as he stepped closer

"then, it would be inefficient to ignore it."

you paused, a smile frozen on your lips as his words echoed inside your mind. your boss just had agreed on kissing you to boost team morale... what the hell?

your breath hitched as his hand lifts your chin, guiding your face upward with precision

while you were planning jabber's death, you were also thanking him for the opportunity to kiss your hot boss

zodyl leaned in, lips brushing yours softly before planting itself and making your stomach flip

when he pulled back, he studied your reaction with a small, amused smile

jabber hoots in the background, but zodyl ignored him completely as he guided you towards the buffet

you shot the dark-skinned man a glare, but all he did just give you a thumbs-up with a shit-eating grin

cthoni and momoa high-fived each other, silently celebrating their successful mission
