Mistletoe

"Look, Cloud, mistletoe!"

The blonde jumped considerably. "Mistletoe? Where?"

The brunette he was with smiled, her hazel eyes soft. "Almost everywhere. Why are you so jumpy?"

"Because Leon's somewhere around here and if I'm not careful… Bam! His lips are on mine!"

"He's gay!"

"I don't think so… He just like's pissing me off."

"Oh… I really want to see this! Go stand under some mistletoe and see what happens."

"No!"

"Do it, Cloud. For me? Please?"

Cloud sighed. "Fine, Aerith."

Moving under some mistletoe, Cloud leaned against the wall, which was unfortunately (A/N: For him, not me), right outside the house in the 3rd District.

A few minutes later, Leon walked out and went straight past Cloud, barely acknowledging him. He was halfway down the street before he noticed Cloud was standing under a particularly large sprig of mistletoe.

He was at the man's side in an instant, a slow smile spreading across his face. "You were just waiting for me to come out, weren't you?"

"Nope. Aerith put me up to this."

Leon's smile faded. "Did she now? Well, I'm just going to wait until you least expect it, then…" He lunged forward, stopping mere centimeters from Cloud's lips. "Bam!"

He laughed. "Admit it, blondie, I've just got faster reflexes then you."

He strode off, the Gunblade swung over his shoulder nonchalantly. Aerith laughed slightly. "Wow. Why didn't you block him?"

" Because, no matter how much I hate to admit it, he really does have faster reflexes."

The pair walked off, Aerith carefully avoiding the mistletoe, wanting Cloud's first kiss to be with Leon.

"Sora arrived earlier. He brought Kairi, too."

"Do we have room for them?"
The brown-haired ninja nodded exuberantly. "Yeah. Cloud and Leon'll have to share a room, though…. Ooooo, Leon'll be ecstatic! I can't say the same for Cloud, though."

The older blonde man scratched his head. 'Why'll Cloud be upset?"

"Leon apparently has the hots for him, Cid."

"Oh… Ew."

"Personally, I think it's cute, but if we have to spend the holidays with those two all over each other, I don't… I don't…" She stopped, her jaw slack. "Oh man, what am I saying? That would be hot!"

Cid looked disgusted. "Whatever floats your boat, Yuffie."

"Well, I'm off! I promised Aerith I'd help her hang mistletoe." Yuffie ran off, laughing merrily.

Cid went back into the Accessory Shop, shaking his head. "Kids these days…"

Cloud and Leon were walking back from the Secret Waterway, arguing loudly, Cloud avoiding every clump of mistletoe he could, even if it meant squeezing up against Leon when he did so.

It was at one of these unfortunate times that Sora and Kairi came up behind them. Sora yelled out, "Hey, guys! ... What're you doing?"

Kairi laughed. "Cloud, why are you all over Leon?"

Cloud instantly jerked away from Leon, who was laughing almost to the point of hysteria. Sora was smiling broadly. "Did Aerith dump you, Cloud?"

"No. this gay guy just wants to- mmph!"

He had foolishly wandered under some mistletoe and Leon had taken advantage of this by pressing Cloud up against a wall and kissing him forcefully. Sora gasped and covered Kairi's eyes quickly. The girl started giggling uncontrollably and Cloud's eyes had widened in shock.

Leon broke the kiss off and grinned at Cloud. "So, Cloud, what do you think?"

"It… Actually, it wasn't bad."

"You sound surprised."

"I am. But I won't say I enjoyed that. It was… mildly pleasurable."

"Ewwwww, Cloud!"

Kairi had pulled Sora's hand off of her eyes and smiled at him. "Maybe we should follow their lead."

"Okay."

Sora pulled Kairi under some mistletoe and kissed her on the corner of the mouth. She smiled at him, then pulled him in for a longer one. Aerith and Yuffie, who were watching from afar, smiled and clapped their hands. "Young love is so sweet!"

"Especially when it's between two guys!"

Moral of the Story: Don't be homophobic. Gay guys are friggin' sexy and sweet and… I wish regular men were like gay guys! That's all I'm saying…
