Seiya was bored out of her mind. Wasn't this Christmas thing supposed to be fun? Getting the tree up had been hilarious, what with Yaten getting stuck on a pile of books she had placed on a chair in a stubborn attempt to put the star atop their tree without assistance, and with Taiki getting tangled in the garland. But that was over and calm had fallen over their apartment, a boring silence at that.

"Oi, TenTen-chan, what're you drawing?"

"How I plan to kill you if you call me that again." Grinning, Seiya walked over to Yaten, plopping down on the couch next to the silver haired light, trying to keep from laughing at the obvious annoyance emitting from the short female.

"You wouldn't kill me, you love me too much!"

"That could be debated." Seiya chuckled as she ruffled Yaten's hair, pulling her hand back in mock shock when it was swatted at. Perhaps she had found something to do after all.

"So, the girls are having a…"

"No, we are not going to some stupid party so that they can claim some stupid tradition so they can force us into something we wouldn't normally do." Seiya rolled her eyes as Taiki quirked a brow. Yaten was in top form that day, what with shooting down an idea before she even heard the entire thing.

"C'mon, Yaten, it'll be fun!"

"Depends on your definition of fun."

"Lighten up. You're like that character…Scrooge! That's what Odango called him. You're just like Scrooge, no fun ever." As her two friends fought over whether or not they would be going to the Christmas party, Taiki had decided to put some mistletoe over where Seiya and Yaten were sitting. It wasn't like they would notice, anyway.

Stepping away from her handiwork, Taiki cleared her throat in order to get the attention of the two bickering females. She was well aware that she had just signed her own death warrant for what she was about to do, but it would definitely be worth it.

"According to tradition, you two need to kiss."

"WHAT?!"

"You're sitting under mistletoe…"

"That's a stupid tradition. Being forced to kiss someone?! If you're going to kiss a person, it should be because you want to, not because you happen to be under some parasitic plant!"

Never able to resist an opening to taunt Yaten, Seiya shook off her shock from Taiki's initial comment and smirked.

"What's wrong, pipsqueak? Afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I just think it's a stupid."

"Nah, I think you're scared. Probably don't know how to kiss. I know that I'm pretty intimidating in re--" Yaten gave Seiya no time to continue as she kissed her leader. Pulling away, she just smirked at the look of complete shock and slight blush that Seiya had going on at the moment.

"Told you I wasn't afraid." And with a flick of her ponytail, Yaten turned to leave the room, where Seiya still stood, shell shocked that Yaten had just kissed her like that and Taiki, who was trying hard not to laugh.

"Oh," Poking her head back into the living room, Yaten looked to her two companions. "We're still not going to that party."
