"Look, look!"
Shuuichi stared through heavy eyes at his girlfriend as she twirled unsteadily, wrapped in tinsel. The light glinted brightly off it, making pretty lights everywhere. Odd shaped sparkles, like fairies everywhere. It was pretty.
Akemi giggled, then laughed out loud when she tripped over a green strand of sparkles and fell on her ass. She just sat there, rocking and laughing like a child. The tinsel kept waving around, like snakes. Were the snakes laughing too? Nobody laughed at his girlfriend! Shuuichi kicked vaguely at the snake-tinsel, but kept missing and hitting the little lights dancing in the air instead.
They didn't do this a lot, but when you're daily risking death and dealing with people who would kill you in an instant if they knew what you were up to, it was hard to relax in the rare times when you were safe for a while and sometimes you needed a little help. Today, in the spirit of the season, it had amounted to smoking mistletoe leaves. It was the kind of idea you only get when you're already just a little bit stoned, though at least they'd had the sense to throw the berries away. He wasn't going to survive playing Poker Face Chicken with Gin just to died from accidentally smoking a poisonous little ball of white.
He kicked at the tinsel again, somehow managed to hit his own ankle, and fell over. Akemi laughed even louder and rolled on top of him.
"Shuu no baka," she giggled. She was warm. Nice.
"Not a baka," he murmured, flicking off the tinsel. The lights were winking at him. "Jus' stoned."
"Don't get rid of my tinsel!" she wailed, grabbing at the strands. "It's pretty!"
"Pretty enough without stupid snakes," Shuuichi drawled, kissing at her neck. "Merry… whatever the hell it is."
"Christmas."
"Yeah."

Apparently mistletoe leaves are hallucinogenic, and the berries are deadly poisonous. And we kiss under this stuff? O_o Also, my apologies for not replying to a number of reviews. I kinda rely on the email updates about reviews, and since, as you may have noticed, FFnet's update service was on the fritz for a couple of days…
Glad you think so, Silver Shadowbreeze. That was part of the reason I wanted to do a different couple every day; it lets me try my hand at couples that I've never touched before and may not write again. Hey, if anybody out there has any drawing talent, I think we'd all love a fanart of Shuuichi Claus… XDXDXD
I don't think even Akako can ever stop Kaito from pranking, FHP2208 XDXD Ayumi-chan is always cute ^_-
I couldn't help the comparison, Pretztailfan95, given that her school uniform is a sailor suit and all of the similarities between Kid and Tuxedo Mask... XDXD awww *offers gingerbread cookie* I apologize for not replying, but see above for details of FFnet being a bastard.
Well, it's not actual proof, Marie Ravenclaw, just stuff taken out of context and recaptioned in the name of crack… XDXDXD Yeah, it would annoy me, but the problem is I don't think I'd have the heart to tell Ayumi to stop… ^_^;
Isn't Ayumi just adorable, SetoJouFan? ^_^ I just think it's hilarious XDXD I even contributed a couple of posts myself, just for the crack of it XDXDXD
There's so much love for yaoi, llamaglamasama, which means that the girls hardly ever get any love… the problem with most yaoi fic is that it tends to cast the girls as OOC or totally bitchy just to get them away from the guys. I'm trying to avoid that in APT but I'm not sure how well I'm doing… ^_^;
Glad you like it anyway, Phantom-Akiko ^_- It's just funny when you find little things that can be taken that way and randomly scream "OMG THEY'RE IN LOOOVE" XDXDXDXDXDXD
I look forward to seeing that fic, Topaz-tantei! ^_- Akako doesn't get enough love T_T
I do not own Detective Conan or Magic Kaito. They belong to Aoyama Gosho, but won't you indulge in the spirit of peace and love and sharing and let me use them?
