Jingle Mingle...2

[alittlefuninstead]

Some of you may be used to this by now. For some of you, this may be your very first time being swept away in a flurry of snowflakes. (Though some of you may have been particularly naughty and were shoved into a burlap sack before disappearing into the storm.) As usual, it seems as though the time for bloodshed has passed and when you open your eyes you're greeted with...

...a ski lodge.

Worry not! This isn't the lodge Krampus had taken residence in but it's a rather large and cozy getaway. You may even find that your clothes have changed into something holiday-appropriate for the occasion. It seems as though someone has gone around decking the halls with boughs of holly, lights strewn along the walls, Christmas trees in large corners, and plenty of food and drink to go around. (Yes, this includes alcohol. Please do try to be responsible though, hm?)

Similarly, some of you may recognize the frosty patterns that lightly dust the walls and surfaces and the usual staff and their assistants are back in action. Should you require anything, you may ask one of them and they'll be at your service!

The lodge has plenty of rooms filled with furniture, fireplaces, games and more. And for those of you feeling a little more adventurous, you may venture outdoors. To the left there's a sprawling garden with gazebos, firepits, flowers and lit topiary displays. To the right, you may follow the path down to a hot spring. And straight ahead? There's the path leading you right to a rental shack holding skis, snowboards and snow mobiles.

This almost seems...quaint, doesn't it? And perhaps it's a little too easy, but you should know by now everything comes with a price.

Sprigs of mistletoe are pinned up in every doorway once again, bright red bows and dustings of frost lingering around them. Don't try to escape to the outdoors to avoid it! Ice sculptures appear in every direction each decorated with the mystical plant. You could try to avoid it, really, but avoiding it too long will earn a chilly breath of air directly in your ear as you're pushed straight into the nearest person. Wouldn't you rather choose on your own?

Well! The choice is yours, and you might want to make it fast. There's no way out without paying the kiss tax, after all.

[His shy expression instantly warms at the sight of Wang Lu, dusty rose darkening his cheeks, but he sees the sweater and lets out a snort.]

What are you wearing?

[chosenwang]

[ There is Mandi again being cute. He'll look down at the sweater. ]

It appeared when I got here. How do I look? It suits me, right?

[ He'll give a wink as he poses. ]

[duranduel]

Yeah. It fits you to a T.

[He's in a simple turtleneck himself, nothing too snazzy. Chuckling, he glances at the mistletoe in Wang Lu's hand.]

That also fits you to a T.

[chosenwang]

[ Why are you feeding this?

He'll lift the mistletoe up ]

I don't know. I think it might fit you more. Let's see...

[ He'll hold it up over Mandi's head. ]

That's it. It looks very good there.

[duranduel]

[Because maybe his boyfriend is! Very! Kissable!]

Ahaha. [He tilts his head looking up.] Does it? How are ya going to make it hang up there?

[chosenwang]

[ He should look in the mirror ]

That's a good question. [ Studying him. He'll tuck the sprig behind his ear. ]

It can stay here. [ Leaning in to press a kiss against his earlobe ]

Though it does mean I'll have to keep kissing you there.

[duranduel]

Oh?

[Oh, That sure is a place. His cheeks turn a vivid red, but he's drawing closer.]

That's nice, but...I can think of something better....

[chosenwang]

If you're thinking of something much lower, then that'll have to wait until we can get some privacy.

[ Clicking his tongue. Wow so bold Mandi. ]

[duranduel]

[MAKES A NOISE LIKE A DEFLATING BALLOON]

I-I was talking about my lips!! Wang Lu-!!!

[chosenwang]

[ All according to plan ]

Where is your mind going to? I was thinking of your collar.

[ Was he?

He'll take the mistletoe and tap his boyfriend's nose with it, before holding it over his head.]

Better?

[duranduel]

Oh, you.

[Looking like he's resisting the urge to smack him. His nose twitches, ticklish at the tap.]

Yeah. Much better.

[For his momentary disgruntlement, he's reaching to take the man by the chin to bend in for a true honest kiss, smiling into it.]

[chosenwang]

[ He really should smack him. ]

Oh, me. [ Grinning into the kiss before he returns it with a longer one. Curling his arm around him to pull him closer. ]

[duranduel]

[Unfortunately, he loves him too much.]

Heh. [He's happily returning the kiss, only drawing back slightly to bonk his forehead against the other's.] I'm so lucky to have ya.

[chosenwang]

[ that's gay

His expression softens to something much more sincere in the moment. Tilting his head to bump the tip of their noses. Even after all of this time, it still sends a fluttery feeling to hear that. ]

Not as lucky as I am to have you.

[ Remembering they are public will be a later problem ]

[duranduel]

[we're gay, harold]

Ha. [He's dipping his head, bashful.] That's sweet.
