Mistletoe

It's that time of year again! Eggnog and all that jazz is back, so in a happy little celebration here's a Christmas stalex special. Do enjoy x


Alex ruined Max and his girlfriends moment, so being Christmas, Max gives Alex and Stevie a little taster of a ruined moment, he just has to get them in a moment first.


Alex slung her bag over her shoulder and attempted to walk the icy pavement down to the Sub Station. Tribeca prep had finally finished for the term, Alex had piles of work it her bag, which undoubtedly would make a nice cosy fire. It was December. Alex had mixed feelings about this time of year, she loved the snow, but she detested the cold and what she was required to wear to keep warm. The dark green parka provided the warmth but her shoes were a different matter.

Her feet met the ice with an uncertainty, the grip on her battered converse provided little confidence on the slippery surface. She had a knack for wearing the wrong type of shoes to face the winter onslaught of snow. Her right foot slid harshly across the ice and made her once steady trudge vanish in to a Bambi like skid.

"Shit" Alex's breath caught and she clawed at the crisp air at anything to grab hold of. Before her ridged body could connect with the glazed tarmac, two hands wrapped safely around her waist but the weight of Alex's fall dragged her savour down with her into the hedge row beside them. The weak plant caved under their joined weight and they toppled to the other side. Alex had her eyes screwed shut in fear and waited for the rough landing. Her eyes flung open when she landed on a body, a warm, small and lean frame held her close.

"Hi" Stevie beamed from underneath her, Alex felt her cheeks grow warm, she sunk inside herself in response.

"Stevie?" Alex rasped and regained her senses, her chilled body had turned to jelly to mould with the other girls.

"Thought you needed a hand" Stevie chuckled and winced at the pain in her lower back, she'd taken the impact and fury of the gravel.

Alex looked at the little space between their bodies, her cheeks flushed a brighter red. Stevie's hands were still wrapped around her waist protectively and Alex's hands had been crushed between the two of them. Alex felt the temptation of leaning in and pressing their foreheads together, but scolded the thought. Alex's soft eyes took in Stevie face, the curve of a small smirk on her lips acted as a penicillin to the embarrassment of falling over into and then through a hedge.

A rough cough brought Alex out of her daze, Stevie saw a pair of battered snow boots inches from her head.

"You guys done?" Max's voice was raspy.

Alex rolled off Stevie, the pink blush blotching into a crimson glow as she scrambled up.

Another pair of feet came to stand near Stevie's head. Stevie sat up and glared up at Max and a small girl by his side.

Alex helped Stevie up hurriedly. Alex then fixed her eyes on her brother and who she assumed was his girlfriend.

"You two been making out?" Alex raised an eyebrow at the pair. Max locked his jaw and crossed his arms, the girl by his side looked uncomfortable.

"About to" he hissed and Alex lolled her head back and laughed at her younger brother's reaction, he looked pissed and she loved it.

Stevie was happily watching Max become increasingly irritated.

"Brilliant" Alex rasped through laughter.

Stevie dug her hands into the pockets of her hooded bomber jacket. Max looked between the pair.

"So what were you two exactly doing leaping through bushes?" Stevie was surprised, Max could actually come out with a rational come back.

"We fell over" Alex said simply.

"Yeah" Max grabbed his girlfriend's hand. "Just wear helmet next time" he scoffed and they walked off. Stevie shrugged, she knew Max couldn't stay smart. Alex had the same thought cross her mind.

"Well, I better get going" Stevie watched her breath rise in the air as she rocked back and forth on her heals.

"W...why?" Alex was taken of guard, while she adjusted her hood around her head.

"Since when do you bother where I go?"

"That's true..." Alex brushed off her clingy out burst."Thanks for the saving me from ice thing"

"No problem" Stevie rubbed her hands together.

"See ya' then" Alex began to walk across the street to the Sub Station, Stevie continued down the pavement.

While the two girls shared their goodbyes, Max was across the street, his girlfriend had gone and the street was empty. He took a quick glance around before taking out his wand and pointing it at the departing pair.

"Mistletoe, mistletoe follow them wherever they go" a thread of green light travelled through the air and sparked around the pair.

He walked into the Sub Station with a contented grin, to break a moment he had to make one.
