Bleach (c) Tite Kubo


Prompt: Mistletoe

Tatsuki sat cozily by the fire of her apartment. It was winter and Christmas was only a few days away.

She sipped on her hot chocolate, "Ah, this is nice."

There was a knock at her door, "Who could be coming here at this hour?" Tatsuki wasn't expecting anyone, at least not that she knew of.

As she walked to her door she noticed a small, green plant hanging over the entry way. Mistletoe. She sighed, Orihime must have put that up when she helped her decorate a few days ago.

Another knock came, much louder than the previous one.

"Arisawa open the damn door!"

Tatsuki narrowed her eyes and swung the door open, "What the hell do you want, Grimmjow?"

The former Espada stood at her doorway, his blue hair glistening slightly from the snow that was lightly falling, "I'm cold, let me in. I need a place to sleep.

Tatsuki raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Now why should I do that?"

"Urahara locked me out. He said I was a destructive hazard."

Tatsuki snorted and Grimmjow glared.

Grimmjow spotted that mistletoe hanging over their heads, "What the hell is that?"

"Oh, its mistletoe. I was just about to take it down."

"Mistle-what?"

"Mistletoe. It's one of those stupid Christmas traditions."

Grimmjow looked slightly interested. Being a former Espada, he didn't know much about the way things worked in the world of the living, especially during the holidays, "Go on."

Tatsuki sighed, "When two people stand under mistletoe they're supposed kiss. Like I said, it's a stupid holiday tradition. I've never been fond-"

Grimmjow interrupted her by pressing his lips against hers. She promptly responded by pushing him away, slapping him in the face, shoving him out the door, and slamming said door in his face.

Grimmjow rubbed his cheek and smirked, "It was worth it."
