The fourth prompt is "mistletoe" and "pez dispenser"
This one's my favorite so far. Except for the fact that I have a minor OC for necessity. The idea of a yaoi-crazed Linda was not mine, I got it from a story I read. I forget which one.
I don't know how, but Linda seems to have picked up Mello's habit of making my life hell.
You see, Linda likes me. A lot. Which makes things very awkward for me. A lot.
What's worse is that the only thing thing that she obsesses over more than me is yaoi. It's kinda creepy. And I'm not even exaggerating. She stalks all the gay guys she knows with a camcorder, just waiting for them to do something she can record.
It's disturbing.
My nightmare began the day I found out that she had gotten me a Christmas gift. I hadn't actually received the gift, but her best friend had warned me.
"You have to get her something! Don't be rude!" Rachel, Linda's best friend, had demanded for the twenty seventh time. In a row. Not that I counted, or anything.
"No!" I snapped. "That would give her ideas! I don't like her!"
"It doesn't have to be expensive! Just get her something cheap, like a pez dispenser or something!" she persisted. "You'll look like an arse is you don't get her anything!"
I covered my face with my hand and let out an exasperated sigh. "Rachel, I already am an arse."
So she huffed in annoyance, slapped me, and stormed out of the room. All in all, not my best Christmas Eve morning.
Later that day, I was doing my best to sneak from room to room to avoid Linda's attempts to trap me under the mistletoe. When I reached the room that served as a common hang out area, I panicked. The room had only one entrance, so I was essentially trapped.
Glancing around, I soon realized that the only recognizable face in the room I could see was Near, so I went and crouched next to him and his current puzzle.
"I need your help," I pleaded in a half whisper. "Linda won't leave me alone."
He was about to reply when I saw Linda spot me out of the corner of my eye. So I cut him off and did the one thing I could think of to stop Linda's advances. I kissed him.
When I pulled away, his eyes were slightly wider, although his face was still the same as usual. I chuckled at his deer in the headlights expression and told him one thing before I got up and left. "Thanks for the help."
The next day, just to spite Rachel, I gave everyone a pez dispenser along with their other holiday gifts.
