Mistletoe Meme

[godofthemachine]

Huh... There's a mistletoe right above you... That's weird, it's Decemb-- oh wait. December is the perfect time to get stuck under the mistletoe with someone. And look! There's a someone else stuck with you under there right now! And, of course, you both can't move until you kiss one another (Of course, not specifying where that kiss needs to happen).

Let's start off December with a little holiday cheer!

This was lovingly stolen from bakerstreet and I feel like AX needs to celebrate the holidays too.

[ sdlkghsdg York okay she's actually a little red now ]

Just... warning you about the mistletoe. I was thinking maybe we should try getting it down, but that could end with us getting stuck again, so...

[logicunlocked]

[ He turns around to look at it. ]

Hm. Maybe if I kind of lean in from here--'m taller than you, I think I can reach without stepping under.

[ He doesn't wait for an answer, just goes ahead and reaches for it. He can't quite get it unhooked, though, and he steps forward without thinking about it. ]

What did they do, cement this... Oh.

[ Yup, he's stuck again. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

Maybe it's growing out of the ship.

[ Which sounds insane, but. It's the Tranquility. ]

... You're stuck again, aren't you?

[ Carolyn you knew that, you're stalling. ]

[logicunlocked]

[ He puts his hands out and looks at his feet, trying to move for a moment and then shrugging. ]

Uh, yeah. That'd be a yes.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Okay. Okay, she's got this. Leave no man behind, etc.

Taking a few steps closer, she looks up at his face for a moment, head tilted, before shifting onto her toes to kiss him. ]

[logicunlocked]

[ Now that's nice. He shifts a bit to pull her in, hands on her waist, and smiles against her lips. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ She hadn't actually been expecting him to pull her in, but it's... not too bad, really. There's a little of a smile on her own lips before she realizes it, and Carolyn breaks the kiss but doesn't pull away. ]

You're enjoying this.

[logicunlocked]

[ He had to tease her for that one. ]

What's not to enjoy?

[suddenlycaptain]

[ As if this is a serious question: ]

Height difference?

[logicunlocked]

[ He snickers at that. ]

Short and beautiful. Sounds like my type.

[suddenlycaptain]

Beautiful. [ She snorts. ] That's not one I hear often.

[ Carolyn was always too hard, too distant, too tomboyish. ]

[logicunlocked]

That's just 'cause I tend to say stuff other people are only thinkin'.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ She does tend to attract the blunt ones... ]

Not always a bad thing.

[logicunlocked]

[ He chuckles. ]

Glad it meets with your approval.

[suddenlycaptain]

At the moment, anyway.

[logicunlocked]

Mmh. Well, let me know if that stops. Don't want to overstep my bounds.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Now she laughs. ] Don't worry, you'll know.

[logicunlocked]

Hey, well that's good. [ after a pause ] I suppose we can move now, huh.

[suddenlycaptain]

[ ... Oh yeah. ] We'd better do it at once, so one of us doesn't get stuck again. Ready?

[logicunlocked]

Yeah, guess we better. [ He gives her one more quick peck on the mouth. ] Just for insurance. You know, make sure it works.

[suddenlycaptain]

Right. [ She totally doesn't buy it, but she smiles a little to herself anyway and steps away. ]

[logicunlocked]

[ He timed his step with hers, heading in the same direction since going the other way would result in him being trapped in the shuttle again. He then released her waist, just a little bit reluctantly. ]

So.

[suddenlycaptain]

There's more of it out here.

[ It's meant as a warning, not encouragement, but it might end up having that effect anyway. ]

[logicunlocked]

Oh; oh, yeah? That's, uh, could be a problem, huh?

[suddenlycaptain]

Yeah. It's going to slow us down at actually getting anything done, at any rate.
