Three days ago, Sasha and Connie had hung mistletoe up in the doorway of the dining hall. It had caused hilarious things to happen since then. The first of which was the accident between Reiner and Bertholdt. They were standing in the doorway, brushing the snow off of their boots when Connie had nodded to the mistletoe above their heads. Bertholdt turned bright red and Reiner stared at Connie for a good two minutes before he turned to his childhood friend and cleared his throat. "Bertholdt, buddy, let's just get it over with." he told his friend, leaning closer to him.
"W-w-what are you doing, R-R-Reiner?" Bertholdt stuttered. Reiner leaned closer and quickly pecked the taller boy on the cheek, like a brother would do to a brother, before quickly moving away from the doorway. He nailed Connie in the balls as he passed by.
Armin and Annie found themselves until the mistletoe one day by accident. "Armin! Take Annie's breath away under the mistletoe with a kiss. And then run for your life and hope she doesn't kill you!" Sasha sung.
Armin and Annie turned to each other. Armin was already beet red and fiddling in place where he stood. "Let's just get this over with." Annie deadpanned.
"R-right." Armin agreed, still red. Annie grabbed his face and pulled his face closer. She gave him a kiss full on the lips. It lasted only a second and Armin turned even redder (if that was even possible). Then Annie stomped away from Armin, forming both of her hands into fists. She nailed both of Sasha's boobs with her two fists.
Marco and Mina fell victim to the mistletoe next. They had walked in and paused under it for a second too long before Sasha pointed out that they were standing under it. Both of them blushed and gave each other a small peck on the lips before rushing off to the lunch line.
Connie and Christa found themselves under the mistletoe next. "Get away from my angel!" Ymir shouted across the dining hall, stomping over to them. She punched Connie in the balls to get him to move from the doorway. She gathered Christa up in her arms and kissed Christa's left cheek, her right cheek, and then pressed a kiss to her forehead. She set Christa down, and they both of them left Connie to roll around in pain outside.
Sasha and Connie were the next people to be caught under the mistletoe. Connie kissed Sasha's cheek and then ran off to go get lunch. It was the quickest anyone had ever been. And they were the two trouble makers that had hung the mistletoe.
All of the trainees agreed that Shadis had the worst luck under the mistletoe. He was first caught under the mistletoe with Mikasa. "Sir, you are under the mistletoe!" Connie informed him, "you and Mikasa must kiss according to the tradition of the mistletoe!" Shadis looked like he was going to pop a vein. But he turned to Mikasa and grabbed her shoulders. He picked her up by her shoulders and kissed her like Ymir had done to Christa. Left cheek, right cheek, and then forehead. He set her down then and advanced to Connie. Shadis picked Connie up like he had that first day: by his head. No one else heard what Shadis growled to Connie, and Connie refused to repeat it, so they all just figured it was some sort of threat.
The next time Shadis was caught under the mistletoe was easily the funnier of the two times. Eren and Jean had been under it first and stood there yelling at each other instead of pecking each other on the cheek. "Just get over it already!" Shadis roared at them, appearing out of nowhere. He picked both of them up by their jacket collars. "Kiss Jeager on the forehead, Kirstein!" he roared again, smashing Jean's face to Eren's face and then smashing Eren's face to Jean's forehead.
"You're under the mistletoe again, sir!" someone pointed out. Shadis froze.
"This is what real men do, Jeager, Kirstein!" he announced, lifting them up to his face and quickly pecking their foreheads. The whole dining hall was reduced to laughter. Shadis released the two of them and stomped off to his office, ready to burn the mistletoe in the dining hall.
A/N: I'm planning to post as many chapters today as I can possibly churn out tonight. It's Christmas Eve here, and I have a couple Christmas themed chapters that need to be posted before Christmas to Cerice Belle for suggesting I do mistletoe awkwardness as a chapter! And also to FlaretheVulpix who is the reason that Annie kissed Armin and also helped concrete the idea to have Ymir kiss Christa. I'll keep this author's note short, since I'll need to have something to write on all the other chapters (and because there's a whole bunch of other stuff I should really say tonight). Expect the unexpected, I said last chapter. You'll need to expect the unexpected tonight and tomorrow. Happy holidays and thanks for reading!
See you later!
