Mistletoe
"Oh. Great." Kanae eyed the small green sprig of organic matter above her head with distaste. It hung, cheerful, inviting her to just get on with it.
Her gray-brown eyes flickered to the unfortunate man standing beside her, boggling at the plant above the two of them.
Feeling a pair of eyes on him, he glanced over at her. He decided that looking at the plant was a safer thing to do. Eyes still bore into his skull. He glanced back at her. She glared at him, looking, at the same time, slightly bored with the whole thing. He returned his gaze to that cheerful, spiteful little plant.
He did not want to be at this Christmas party. Not at all. The food was bad, and people were being so phony.
She came along only because her best friend begged her to come, so she wouldn't be the only female there.
And neither of them wanted to be under the mistletoe.
Especially not with each other.
"Well. Get on with it." Kanae demanded, and rolled her eyes. He, rather comically, froze up. She rolled her eyes again, sighed dramatically, and closed her eyes quickly. She did not want to see this.
Please don't be pathetic.

Ishigaki glanced around the room a third time. This was embarrassing. Everyone else, however, had vacated this room to go attack the appetizers in the kitchen. He took a deep breathe, and steadied himself.
Please don't let this be illegal.
It was kind of awkward at first, but not bad. Not bad at all. Two seconds later, after they both got over the awkwardness, Kanae decided that it was…well…

"You're quite the kisser, Ishigaki-san." Kanae remarked coolly, digging around in her purse. Ishigaki flushed a rather brilliant hue of crimson.
"So..I'm Kanae Kogohara, Yako-chan's friend. You might have seen me around before?" she said, offering her free hand in greeting. Ishigaki clumsily accepted the proffered hand, shaking it nervously.
"J-Jun Ishigaki. Sasazuka-san's assistant."
"Nice to meet you then, Ishigaki-kun. How-" Someone hollered for her from the kitchen, interrupting her. "Hey, listen, I'll talk to you later. Bye!"
And with that, she left.
It was a full thirty seconds before Ishigaki realized that a small slip of crumpled up paper lay in his hands. Delicately opening it, he saw that it read:
"Call me, Chu-kun.
555-5555, Kanae Kogohara"
A.N: Chu= a sound effect for kissing. Often used in manga and anime.
