A/N: This is based off of a TOTALLY CUTE series of prompts designed by Verobird on Tumblr. You can find the original posts on my writing blog (feckyeswriting) under the "OTP Advent Calendar" tag.
I tried to stick as close to the original prompts as possible but it became hard as soon as I made the decision to make all of the drabbles related. Please enjoy unabashed cuteness and fluffiness with a tempering of Cold Hard Reality that I like to keep in all my fics.
Dec 1st - Mistletoe Kiss
Most traditions in Dauntless revolved around drinking, dancing, or fighting - stress relief from the daily toils of the warrior faction. A few more inter-faction traditions still snuck through, though not many.
I resented one in particular.
Honestly, why there even existed a tradition focused around kissing anyone who happened to be standing with you under a piece of tree branch was beyond me. Abnegation didn't believe in mistletoe. The whole faction would probably implode if anyone did try to bring it into common practice.
Hell, I was going to implode if Christina tried one more time to get me to participate.
First Four lingered "causally" in the hall by a bundle of the green stuff. I got away with a kiss on the cheek. Sorry, kissing my ex was not on my to-do list.
Then Richards dangled a piece over Kyle's desk. That was a joke thankfully so I didn't even have to negotiate my way out. I did end up with a tiny bit of heart shaped chocolate for my trouble of "still talking to the poor exiled Kyle," though.
My lucky streak ran out when I ran into none-other than my trainer and soon-to-be-coworker Eric as we tried to leave the mess hall at the same time.
"You afraid of a little piece of mistletoe?" Eric loved to taunt me.
"I'm not afraid of anything." I hated to let him win.
Eric liked to kiss with tongue. I paid him back with a nip on his lower lip and what should have been a suitably terrifying growl. Based on how hungry he looked leaving the cafeteria, I'd say that I won.
