It wasn't an unusual day by any means. Yami, Yugi, Tristan, Joey, Tea and Duke were seated around the living room, hanging out and waiting for Mai and Serenity to arrive. Well, everything had been usual, until Tristan suddenly produced a small plant from his pocket and, trying not to be noticed by anyone, proceeded to hang it from the ceiling.

"What is that?" Yami asked, examining the bright green leaves, with clearly festive ribbons and sparkles adorning them.

Tristan, grinning broadly, announced, "Mistletoe! I was helping re-arrange the house and found it behind the couch."

"So, those are fake leaves then?"

"Yeah. We tend to get a new one every couple of years because we're always losing them."

"Okay." Yami nodded, not sure what the significance was in a clump of three fake leaves. "What's it for?"

"It's a magical plant that makes everyone who stands under it do this-," he reached for Tea, who happened to be the closest to him at the moment, but she smirked and stepped out of his reach.

"Aha. Nice try."

They then heard the store's front door open and two pairs of feet on the stairs leading up to the living area of the building. "Hi, guys." The pretty, petite, angelic figure that was Joey's little sister greeted them happily, while Mai removed her jacket and took a seat on the couch by Yami.

"Hi, Serenity!" Duke went to step past Tristan to properly greet his not-so-secret crush, and time suddenly seemed to move in slow motion.

Maybe her sudden entrance had distracted him. Maybe his mind was still placing Tea as the one next to him. Or maybe it was just an instinctive attempt to keep the popular rich kid from the innocent little flower that was Serenity.

For whatever reason, as soon as Duke was in range, the tall brunette grabbed his jacket and pressed their lips together in a kiss. However, as shock had frozen not just their friends, but the two of them as well, it ended up being awkwardly long.

"Oh, um, hi." Serenity stuttered, not sure what had just happened.

Tristan, being the first to mentally process their position, quickly stepped back and gave the gamer a light shove. The two could do nothing but stare in silent shock at each other for a long while.

The silence was soon broken, though, by hysterical giggles. "Forget Junjou Romantica! You two are the ultimate yaoi pairing." Mai, ignoring the gaping looks shot her direction, stood and draped her arm around Serenity. "Cutie, congratulations. You don't know how many fangirls would kill to be in your place."

"If you'll all excuse me," Duke muttered dazedly, turning away from his friends, "I think I need to . . . exit the room for a moment."

"Me too." Yami replied, standing and heading for the kitchen.

Yyyyy

Rule 47: Mistletoe is dangerous. Be very careful where you hang it.

Yyyyy
