elβs still getting used to the holidays.Β
she realizes after many minutes of walking around in circles between the living room and the kitchen that christmas- and therefore christmas parties- require a lot of socializing and talking. itβs one of the skills she doesnβt have and prefers not to learn. itβs just not in the cards.
fidgeting with the fancy glass in her hands (itβs something fruity she canβt remember the name of),Β she finally succumbs to retreating to the safest area of the house, seeing if maybe she could kill time until dinner by sitting around in the basement. turning the knob, she pulls it open and nearly stumbles straight into another person, tripping over her heel slightly in an effort to back up in time.Β
oh, itβs just mike. she canβt help the gentle smile that comes onto her face, warm and making her eyes crinkle slightly at the corners.Β
β hi. β el mumbles, like this conversation is strictly for their own ears. sheβs about to keep talking, but she notices something slightly above his head- itβs touching his hair, hanging from the doorframe, and she has to get on her toes slightly to even reach to examine it closer.
mistletoe. sheβs heard of it, surprisingly- if only because of her teasing friends, and because her only real source of entertainment at home when sheβs not hanging out with them all is cheesy romance dramas. the smile on her face becomes warmer, somehow, and she resumes eye contact with him. it was her way of letting someone know they had her full attention.
leaning up towards him, she presses a tiny chaste kiss to his lips, leaving the taste of whatever fruity drink she just had in her hands a moment earlier.
β merry christmas, mike. βΒ
