[ Meme ] Mistletoe

[st_aff]

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but kissing is so delightful. And since we've no place to go, let 'em flow, let 'em flow, let 'em flow! Kisses that is.

This meme's as simple as it comes. There's mistletoe. It might be magical and making kisses happen where they shouldn't, aspirational and encouraging kisses to happen where they wouldn't, inspirational and suggesting kisses where they haven't but maybe should, or just plain existential and making excuses for kisses that already do.

How do?

1. Comment with your characters under the mistletoe. Be as descriptive or generic as you like.
2. Include any limitations (like sex or age of partner, or type of kiss).
3. Tag other characters with your characters.
4. Prosper!

Notes: Memes are also AU with no IC consequences. Feel free to include old characters, new/potential characters, or meme-only characters. It's for fun, so it's all you, boo!

Lillith & Bucky

"Mistletoe." She drew her gaze down from the plant-sprig and glanced over at the speaker. "Oh, hello!" Her thoughtful smile turned bright, fangs flashing playfully in contrast to her painted-teal lips. "It's a tradition that if you stand below the plant, you're supposed to share a kiss."

"Oh, yeah? And where did that come from, the tradition?" He stepped closer, smiling warmly at Lillith. His eyes focused in on the fangs, but they didn't scare him. He knew that she was kind and he didn't care if she had fangs. "So, you just... If you see the plant, you have to kiss?"

"I don't know," she answered laughingly and reached out a hand to rest against his chest. "I only learned last year because Kash got stuck." Lillith cocked her head and her gleaming white hair slid against her shoulders. "I'm not stuck, so you don't have to kiss me. But I won't mind at all if you do."

Re: Lillith & Bucky

Bucky moved in closer to her, nodding his head in agreement. "Stuck?" He frowned at her. "How does one get stuck under the mistletoe? Was there glue on his feet," he teased. Bucky nodded his head. "I think I can give a couple away without getting into trouble."

Bucky smiled as he leaned in, kissing her gently on the cheek. "See, I'm not too terrible, I don't think?"

"Magic, obviously." Her voice teased, the sound of it the same as when she teased Beatryx, as if in the very next second she might call him 'silly'.

But she looked perplexed when she asked, "Who said you were terrible?" before returning the kiss, one to each of his cheeks the way she had seen her sisters do before she had left home. "You seem nice enough."

Re: Lillith & Bucky

"Magic." Another concept that Bucky had to get used to since being here. The idea that magic was real was something he'd been wrapping his mind around. His head nodded as he looked up at her, turning his head one way and then the other for each kiss.

"I... It's been a while." Bucky smiled at Lillith. "How many people have you kissed so far?"

Re: Lillith & Bucky

[st_rangepalette]

"In my life?" Lillith looked vaguely distressed. "That's none of your concern."

And in a heartbeat, the distress melted away into laughter in red eyes with black sclera. "None so far today, not before you. I haven't been standing here long."

Re: Lillith & Bucky

[st_ranger]

Bucky's eyes widened and he raised one hand to press it over hers. "No, I... I just meant today. Honest!" He shook his head and tilted his head to the side, almost feeling bad. "No, honest, I... I didn't mean..."

Bucky gave Lillith a small smile. "Ah, then I'm the first. I'm sure I won't be the last." He gave her a look. "Who wouldn't want to kiss someone as pretty as you." In a way, it almost felt like he was his old self, the charm easily coming like it was yesterday. That's what he liked to do for his friends, compliment them and make them feel good.

"I hope you get lots of nice people and none of them had garlic," he teased.

Re: Lillith & Bucky

Lillith did not plan to stay here long enough to see if others would be bold enough to kiss her, but she did not say that.

"You think I'm pretty?" Her head tilted and brow lifted toward the ridges of her horns across her forehead. "Most think only that I'm strange and pale, I suspect."

Re: Lillith & Bucky

[st_ranger]

Bucky frowned. "Well, then they don't see what is right in front of them. So what that you're pale? That shouldn't matter." He gave her a soft smile. "I don't think you're strange. And I have a metal arm, so who am I to judge?" He hated that she might feel insecure about herself. She shouldn't, not here. This place seemed to be safer than most.
