Title: The Mistletoe
Summary/Note: 150 word challenge from the OUAT Landcom on Live Journal. Two OUAT characters have to kiss beneath the mistletoe. I chose Emma and Mr. Gold for this challenge. I've never written a fic that was only 150 words. It was sooooo hard. I had a pretty decent ficlet, and then had to cut it, and cut it, and cut it. Very difficult. Hope it's okay...
Mr. Gold had finally learned how to lift the fog that held captive those few elusive memories of his life from before. A kiss. A kiss from the lady who, at the moment, was conveniently standing beneath the mistletoe.
He lunged once she was within reach, lips finding hers, warm and tasting of chocolate cinnamon. In his arms her body froze in shock and for a second she seemed to return his kiss. He suddenly, and painfully found himself on the floor having been shoved away by the strong, slender woman.
"What the hell?" Emma demanded, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
He let out a high-pitched horrible laugh that had not been heard in this world, but was so familiar it nearly brought tears to his eyes.
"Mistletoe!" He squealed.
Emma walked away, blushing furiously.
It didn't matter. He got what he wanted. Rumpelstiltskin always did.
