MEME: Mistletoe

[shiroganeheir]

You all know it, you love the green plant, it's mistletoe!

It can be through actual magic, or through some kind of social power, but you're now stuck under it. What do you do now?

[You are welcome to post this around! Anyone is welcome.]

HI I MISSED YOU UP FOR SOME PINING IDIOTS?

[yousayvoltron]

[It looks like a Hallmark movie exploded, snow everywhere and people already putting up decorations. The air smells like gingerbread and cinnamon. It's a nice cozy feeling that can make even walking outside in 30-degree weather feel warm.

Especially when he's walking beside Matt.]

YESSSSSS.

[tookashirototheknee]

[Matt's always amazed that things seem to go from zero to Christmas in about two point five seconds.

He has to admit that the smell is amazing, and being able to spend more time with Keith is always fantastic.

As they walk together, he starts chattering a bit to cover the fact that Keith is just so radiant and happy in the multicolored Christmas lights, and is making Matt's heart flutter.]

Re: YESSSSSS.

[yousayvoltron]

Everyone says Christmas comes on too fast, but I've never minded. I mean, it's annoying to see the Christmas candy out along with the Halloween stuff in some places, but I've never had a problem with it starting as soon as December does.

[He's going on and on, too, because he's with the guy he's got a huge crush on and Matt has snowflakes in his hair and they're holding hands. And all these little things are so intense when you've got it bad for someone.]

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, yeah! Beginning of December is just fine. It gets a bit... odd when you see people starting putting things up at the end of October, though.

[Really, Matt's happy to just hold Keith's hand as they walk and chatter. He's hoping that Keith doesn't all of a sudden realize what's going on and spook. Then again, he's not entirely sure that Keith can't hear how loud and heavy his heart is beating at the moment, just from this amazing walk.

Down, boy. You don't even know if he thinks of you as anything but a brother. Don't go too far and lose your best friend.]

[yousayvoltron]

Yeah, you've gotta draw the line somewhere.

[If Keith's hearing heartbeats, they're his own, and he's glad they're both wearing gloves so Matt can't feel how sweaty his hand is.]

Anyway! I've gotta get started on my shopping. I never know what to get people...probably because for years all I had to buy stuff for was my dad.

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, man. I'm awful with that. Pidge is usually pretty easy to get things for, just find her a cool tech kit. Dad likes his old movies and space memorabilia, but... Mom's really hard to get things for. Once I was just so at a loss, I ended up just getting her a plant. Oddly, she seemed to love it.

[Matt smiles, blushing a bit as he starts to think about what he should get Keith. That's... another hard one, but he has time. He'll figure it out.]

[yousayvoltron]

Some of my classmates used to worry about that, but there was one girl who kept fussing about what to get her dad because she didn't want to be lazy and just give him a tie. Then one year it turned out that was what he wanted!

[He's got some vague idea of what to give Matt, but he doesn't want to just jump on the first thing. It's gotta be perfect.]

My dad was always easy, though, used books were cheap and he liked reading now and then.

[tookashirototheknee]

Hey, it's always good to have something to fall back on. I've always thought just having time together is the real present. Mom and Dad are so busy that the fact that Dad always make sure he doesn't have a mission over Christmas has always been special.

[Matt shrugs a bit, thoughtful.]

I don't know why, but I'm really hoping to find some extra fantastic things this year.

[yousayvoltron]

Yeah, that's true. Some people like getting the same things every year...it's comforting. Like a pair of socks means your grandmother's still alive and well and can knit them for you.

[Keith sighs, moving a little closer, watching the snowflakes continue to fall onto Matt's hair.]
