Mistletoe
Piper was fussing over the refreshment table at the Storm Hawks' Christmas celebration. Her sandcakes seemed to be disappearing more quickly than usual.
In addition, it seemed as if Stork had vanished from the party, and the odd suspicious thump or rustle was heard coming from underneath the table.
A clump of mistletoe dangled from the ceiling right above Piper's head.
Finn noticed his teammate's concentration on the food, with the kissing plant over her head, and a sudden thought popped into his head.
The blond threw a devilish smirk at Piper's back before sneaking off through the crowd, watchful eyes darting back and forth as he searched for his commanding officer.
Since he had been rejected by every girl he had invited to join him and the mistletoe, Finn figured it could at least do good for someone.
"Hey, Aerrow!" the sharpshooter greeted his Sky Knight cheerfully in a not-so-innocent voice when he found him conversing with Billy Rex.
"Uh . . . hi, Finn," the redhead returned the greeting suspiciously. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing," Finn replied in a way that made his friend severely uneasy.
As a path suddenly cleared in the pack of chattering people in the bridge, the blonde seized his chance.
He shoved Aerrow hard between the shoulder blades, forcing him to stumble forward ungracefully and come to a halt right beside Piper under the mistletoe.
"Uh . . . " Aerrow stuttered, his cheeks steadily turning a bright red. "Um, uh, er . . ."
By that point, everybody had noticed the embarrassed couple and started up a loud chorus of wolf whistles and cheers.
Aerrow was still stumbling over his words helplessly when Piper saved him.
"Oh, come on!" she whispered to him. "Let's just do it for tradition."
The redhead nodded calmly, though nervous on the inside, before beginning to slowly bend over her to reach her lips.
That is, he would have, had it not been for Radarr falling from where he had been helping Junko top the tree and landing in Piper's arms, pushing Aerrow off to the side with the force of his descent in the process.
That left a very awkward Piper and Radarr hovering under the mistletoe, with a steaming mad Aerrow observing the scene incredulously.
"Eh heh," Finn laughed sheepishly. "I didn't mean to do that."
If you're wondering, I'm not turning into a PiperxRadarr shipper. It's just fun to write. Review!
