A/N – Hello everyone! So I've been having a problem with writer's block recently and to get back into the habit of writing I am trying to write for prompts and challenges. And what better challenge than an Advent Calendar Challenge!

All of the stories are written for verobird's OTP Advent Calendar on Tumblr and will feature one of my two OTPs, either Niff or Thadbastian, depending which seems to fit the prompt better, and all will probably be less than 1000 words.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the Warblers!

Hope you enjoy them! And so for day 1!

Prompt - Mistletoe kiss

Jeff grinned as he entered the Warbler's Hall, the room had been festooned with Christmas decorations and lights twinkled at him from every direction.

"Oh good Lord," Sebastian drawled as he walked in behind Jeff. Jeff smacked him on the arm and bounced over to the couch where Nick was already sitting.

"I love Christmas," Jeff whispered to his best friend, grin threatening to split his face in two.

"I know you do," Nick responded fondly, his hand automatically reaching over to squeeze Jeff's knee. They both froze at the contact and Nick snatched his hand back as if he'd been burnt as both boys flushed deep red.

A week ago Nick had accidently let slip that he had a bit of a crush on Jeff, and Jeff had guiltily admitted he felt the same way but after an incredibly awkward conversation they had decided not to do anything about it in case it spoilt their friendship. The only downside was that things like casual physical contact, which before had seemed completely innocent, now became weighted with hidden intent.

Luckily, Sebastian called the Warblers to order before either Nick or Jeff had the chance to comment on the embarrassing exchange.

Sebastian had them up and dancing almost immediately, practicing Christmas pop songs and carols alike ready for the end of semester Christmas concert that the Warblers always held for the rest of the school.

Jeff couldn't help noticing that Nick seemed distracted throughout the rehearsal, his eyes darting to the Christmas decorations instead of focusing on the dance moves. But as lead dance teacher of the group, Jeff didn't have time to look around and see what it was that had caught Nick's attention and put the contemplative expression on his face.

"Ok, great guys," Sebastian said after nearly two hours. "Now if you don't mind I have a date I need to go and get ready for."

The other Warblers milled about, collecting up their discarded blazers and bags and leaving the practice room. Nick was hovering by the window, clearly waiting for something. Jeff hung back to see what his friend was doing.

Thad waved to Jeff as he left the room, leaving just Nick and Jeff alone and finally Nick turned around.

Jeff couldn't read the expression on Nick's face as he glanced at something above Jeff's head. Tipping his head backwards, Jeff finally realised what particular Christmas decoration had kept Nick so distracted all afternoon; a large sprig of mistletoe. It was surrounded by garlands of holly, which was why Jeff hadn't spotted it before now, but once he had seen it, it was like it was the only decoration in the room, all others fading into the periphery as the mistletoe filled his vision.

And then he looked back down at Nick, who had moved forward whilst Jeff was staring at the ceiling, and was now standing right in front of him.

"I know we agreed not to do anything…" Nick's voice trailed off as he licked his lips, his eyes not quite meeting Jeff's.

Jeff waited, his heart pounding wildly in his chest at Nick's proximity.

"But it's kind of, like, the law of Christmas." Nick pointed upwards and Jeff's eyes followed, alighting again on the mistletoe. "You have to kiss under mistletoe."

And before Jeff could react, Nick had stood up on his tiptoes and pressed his lips to Jeff's. Jeff responded immediately, his arms encircling Nick as Nick's hands rested on his shoulders. Why had they fought this? This was where they belonged. Nick pulled back after a few seconds, smiling shyly.

Jeff grinned. "I love Christmas."

A/N – Well, there you go, day 1 done! Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it, it would be lovely to hear what everyone thought so if you want to leave a little review… :)

And hopefully I'll be able to keep this up all month!
