A/N: I'm a little late with this one, because I was debating with myself whether it was too sucky to upload or not. Anyway, here it is. Puffball Patriot, I hope you're happy.

Spinni stuffed the rest of the Christmas cookies into her mouth and gulped them down. Even though the Squeaks were traveling thieves, they tended to settle in one place during the winter holidays so they could relax and celebrate. Spinni had hoped to get her mitts on some beer this year, but Storo had beaten her to it, so she was consuming all the leftover holiday sweets before he could get to them to piss him off. She'd just started on a bowl of peppermints when Daroach came into the room, leaning on his cane, which was not his custom. Spinni raised an eyebrow behind her shades. Is he drunk or something?
"Ah...hello, Schpinni," Daroach garbled, staggering on his cane to approach the golden-furred girl.
Yup, he's drunk. Spinni tried to slowly back away from him, but not before stuffing another three or so peppermints into her mouth.
Daroach pouted at her. "Aww, come on~! Why'sh you gotta eat 'em all, huh? Save some for the rest of ush~"
"Dammit, Boss, can't we go one Christmas without you getting your ass wasted?" Spinni was only letting off steam now, since she was probably the only one who didn't get any beer. The Squeaks' leader staggered over to the little ninja and, without warning, violently grabbed her shoulder. On impulse, Spinni jumped back.
"Don-don't talk to yerr leader like zat," he growled. "Ya schtupid kid." Spinni scoffed in disgust and shook him off. "Just leave me alone."
Now, it happened to be that earlier on, Daroach had, presumably on a whim, hung branches of mistletoe from open arches here and there. Nobody knew exactly why, though the other Squeaks assumed that since Daroach didn't currently have anybody he might want to kiss, the mistletoe was simply for decoration. Now, as Spinni was awkwardly trying to inch away from her intoxicated boss, she happened to walk underneath an arch that had a mistletoe branch hanging from it, upon which Daraoch grinned like a madman. "Shpinni~ do you shee what's above ush...?"
Spinni swallowed nervously. What the hell is he gonna do? He wouldn't really...no, no, there's no way he'd kiss me...not even drunk-
The second she thought that, she was instantly proved wrong as her leader pulled her in close to him and roughly bit her lips. From pure shock, Spinni involuntarily opened her mouth, and Daroach plunged his tongue inside. With a small sigh of resignation, Spinni kissed back. Great, she thought. My boss is drunk, and I'm making out with him. Gross. But...why does it feel so good? Spinni hated to admit it, even to herself, but she was enjoying this. If it were Doc or Storo, she knew she would not like it at all. But it was Daroach-good old Daroach-who was kissing her, even though he'd have no memory of it tomorrow, so Spinni put her arms around his neck and made the most of it, letting their tongues rub together as the two held each other. Spinni suppressed a moan as Daroach fondly stroked the fur around her waist. She responded by caressing his large ears.
The leader eventually broke their kiss and grinned at the ninja girl. "We-he-ell, thzat wash quite enjoyable, am I right? And...alsho...by the way-" Daroach stood up straight, still smirking, his speech pattern perfectly normal again "-I am not drunk."
Spinni bubbled with rage. He was pretending...he had this in mind the whole time?! She glowered at him, but she couldn't stay angry for long, and suddenly burst out laughing. "Dammit, Boss!"
