MISTLETOE IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2025

[siberia]

you know what to do. whether it's magic compulsion (feat. magical attraction or not), that you're trapped until you kiss, or just tradition and social pressure, you've been caught under the mistletoe and that means you have to kiss.

platonic is ok too. feel free to leave your own comment or reply to one of mine with a blank if you want me to write a starter!

Really? Never? You?

[ this might have been sarcasm coming from literally anyone else in Date's life, but Gustave seems genuinely surprised to hear him admit this. Even now, after all this time spent together, Gustave still sees Date as a handsome, experienced older man with both a big brain and a big heart - not to mention a charmingly silly side. Sure, he's got his personal problems, a troubled past and some hefty emotional baggage, but there's not a person alive who doesn't. He surely can't be the only one with whom Date has had this kind of vulnerable, intimate romance with... can he?

Huh.

Gustave's face says that he's pondering this. If it wasn't for the cold weather, it would be more obvious that he's rather tickled by the consideration, but his ears are already red. No such luck. ]

I guess I'm a lucky guy, then.

[ If it was anyone else here with him, anyone else who asked him about his history, he would be defensive and back away and pivot the conversation. But instead he looks to Gustave and then looks away for a moment, considering what to say. He wants to be honest with him in a way he doesn't want to be with anyone else.

So, he curls a little tighter around Gustave's arm and goes quiet for a moment before expanding a little bit. ]

I think I mentioned before, but Hitomi's the only meaningful relationship I had before you. Things were different with her, I was quieter about how I felt. There was more of a hardship in being with someone like me, with the things I had weighing me down.

With you... I want to share everything with you. I want the movie moments. I'm not scared or hiding my feelings anymore, I just want you.
