Welcome to the Oh Porings! forum collection! We decided to work on a collection of one-shots for the holiday. We will update every day until December 25. Participants include, but aren't limited to, Minane, Anonymoussi, Hopelessmine and Halcyon Clouds at the moment.

Mistletoe Madness

By Tela

The holidays were one thing Luzien loved. Next to women, of course. The church held a party every year for the holidays but they were notoriously boring. There was one party that was actually fun and it was always held after the church party. One of the other priests and his wife hosted the party but weren't usually around for the festivities. In any case, this was where he was about to go now.

"Oh god! It's freezing!" He gasped as he and a few of the other priests stepped out of the warm church into the snowy and very frigid night. "Hold me, Mariah! Let's share our body heat." He wrapped his arms around the high priestess, his hand wandering where it shouldn't.

"Luz! Get off me!" She groaned, smacking his hands away.

"When I freeze to death, you'll feel bad."

She rolled her eyes and pulled her coat close to her. "Right." The small group included Luzien, Mariah, two priestesses and the high priest, Hiroki. They walked along chatting about the weather and such until they came to a house near the center of town.

They saw a sign on the door, under a wreath, telling guests to come on in so they let themselves inside. They were greeted with cozy warmth and the scent of cinnamon drifting in the air. People had already arrived before them so the party was already underway. "Where's the drinks?" Luz asked, rubbing his frozen hands together to warm them.

After a while and many drinks later, Luzien was teaching Hiro the fine art of chasing women. Normally, Hiroki wouldn't do such a thing. He also didn't think to check just how much alcohol Luzien shoved down his throat. His belly was pleasantly warm and his cheeks had gotten a rosy tinge, he felt really good in fact. There were eyes watching the two high priests act like fools but they were certainly amusing.

"Luuuuz! Hey, hey! Tell them about the—" Hiroki was speaking loudly but paused for a moment and had to remember his words. "The isis!" Luzien laughed and slapped his fellow priest on the back.

"She was the one that got awaaaay! See, we met this isis in the 'mids and me being the suave man that I am, she couldn't resist! Now she, uhh…jus' a sec…right, she came up to me an' was trying to flirt with Hiro an' me! So, I played along 'cause even though she was half a snake, she had a really nice rack. Real nice. Hey man…I gotta sit down. Damn room wants to spin even though I told it not to earlier." He pulled the raven-haired priest with him and they stumbled to the couch. Once settled, he turned back to the amused crowd.

"So what happened, Luz?" Mariah asked, mildly amused and at the same time, very disturbed. He was far from a good example of high priesthood.

"Yeeeah, I decided to see if the snake lady's boobs felt like a human lady's boobs!" He laughed. "They do! Hey Hiro, tell 'em about the um…hey, where'd I leave my drink?"

"C'mon Luz, finish the story!" Hiro laughed. He was lacking inhibitions obviously because he had sworn to himself that this story would never surface.

"Right, riiiight. So I told Hiro to feel 'em but he's a pansy and said no so I pushed him and he fell on her! She wasn't too happy after that and kicked our asses…she sure was hot though. Called me an' Hiro pervs though…dunno why."

"Okay! We have a game to play and anyone who wants to join, come over here so we can blindfold you." The wizard announced. There were murmurs around the room, wondering what game needed blindfolds. Their gazes then followed her pointing finger to the center of the room and toward the ceiling. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling with a bright red ribbon. "You don't get to see who you kiss until after you kiss them."

"This is the best game ever!" Luzien cheered. He was the first one to reach for a blindfold. "Let's go people. Hiro, get over here!"

"Luz, no groping. It's bad enough that I'm going to let you play." Mira motioned for him to turn around and she tied the blindfold tightly. "Hiro, your turn." He was a little reluctant at first but figured there couldn't be any harm in this silly game. The wizard finished tying blindfolds on all the participants and stepped away. "Now then, none of you are allowed to talk because it would give you away. We'll lead you under the mistletoe and then let you loose."

The first two people were led out to the center of the room, they kissed and there were some giggles and mumbling throughout the room. The moment the girl took off her blindfold, she went wide-eyed and then disgusted. "UGH!" She whined and stalked off leaving the priest with disheartened look on his face. "What was her problem?" Hiro wondered aloud. Though he couldn't see, he could put two and two together from what he heard. Two others went and things seemed to go better for them.

Luzien then felt a hand grab his arm and pull him. He happily let himself be led under the mistletoe where he waited for the okay. He heard the shuffling of feet over the floor stop in front of him. "You might have to look up because you got a tall one." He heard Mira say the other. "Enjoy." She added and gave Luz a little push as she walked by. Luzien stepped forward and expertly found his target. His hands cupped the face of the girl with a grin spreading across his lips.

Without further waiting, the high priest leaned down and captured her lips. They heard more giggles and excited murmurs so it must have been quite a show. Oh, I'll give them a show, Luz thought.

He slid an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She seemed a little unsure of something. "Okay Luz, enough is enough. We don't need to see more, there are young eyes in the room." Mira laughed. Luzien reached behind his head and untied the blindfold, to see just whom it was he had kissed. He had thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps one of the twins? Maybe Mariah?

No, neither of those stood before him. In fact, no girl stood before him. Only a horrified Hiroki stood there, frozen in place. His hands still gripped the blindfold as it hung around his neck. Luzien had no words to explain how he felt at the moment. His cocky grin simply fell from his face and he could only stare. He kissed a guy. He didn't know he was kissing a guy but he did. They were both very sober now.

"So, how was it?" Mira asked slyly. She and a few other girls had planned this to get back at the perverted high priest for his groping and peeping. Hiroki, unfortunately, had to share in the punishment even though he did nothing but it could be worse. He would be fine! "You two looked like you enjoyed it."

Hiroki and Luzien looked at each other for a moment and then turned away instantly, both crossing their arms and turning bright red.

"We're ruined, Luz. Happy holidays." They would never, ever live this down and they would never go with a hundred feet of mistletoe, alcohol or girls with revenge on their minds.

"Hiro…I dun feel so good…"
