[ First there's a burst of blue sparks in the hallways, a gentle glimmer, and then something is growing across quite a few doorways in the dressing room. Rather, something is growing back. Small sprigs of green plants with white berries, tied together with a royal blue ribbon.

And somewhere else, there is a fairy all dressed in blue, happily nibbling on cookies. ]

[[ooc: Surprise! So, they're back. Magic mistletoe that will keep characters magically stuck in doorways until they kiss. Threadhopping is encouraged in this post! Spread a bit of holiday cheer, eh? They'll be sticking around all month.]]

[snorts and smooches Axel, then shoves him out of the mistletoe's reach.]

[goes, grinning, and stands out of its range to wait.]

I only barely remember that stuff from last year, since it was still around right when I showed up. Totally forgot about it until just now.

[it's somehow easier that this is the second time he's been caught under mistletoe with Kai around. hearing their banter is helping him to relax a little, glancing back toward them both and closing his eyes, holding perfectly still to accept the kiss he knows is coming]

I would've been quite happy if it hadn't popped up this year.

[and Riku gets a short smooch before he takes his hand to lead him out as well.]

There.

I bet most people would. I just hope no one's getting hurt by getting stuck under that stuff with someone like that jackass Larxene, or... any Saix, really.

[sticks his hands in his pockets, completely calm and casual.]

[lets Kai tug him away, stealing glances at Axel]

If I were stronger, I could open portals to avoid them.

You'll get stronger.

[pats his arm and lets go of him once they're out.]

I don't think portals worked for everyone last year.

[is needy like a needy thing, pulling at Kai's sleeve.]

Can you tell if my nose is broken? It still hurts. I feel like I walked into a window.

How do you know what-

... [shushes, not wanting to make Axel mad if he actually did break his nose walking into a window before.]

Hold still, then.

[reaches up to carefully feel at his nose, sending more healing magic along as he does.]

[whines like a girl. ;o; ]

[watching the two of you has him a little bewildered, and he's quickly discovering that Kai's Axel is nothing like the manipulative asshole from his own world.

once Kai's done with the healing thing, Riku will be quietly offering Axel a pack of travel-sized tissues.]

Nothing's broken, don't worry.

[finishes, and aw Riku you're so nice. C:]

[is mildly surprised, but takes the tissues, because he DOES have blood on his hand and part of his face. extracts a few and wipes his face off.]

Thanks, Riku. And that's good, I've managed to avoid any facial disfiguring so far, and I'd like to keep it that way. Leave that sort of thing to the Xigbars, thanks.

[that gets a startled laugh out of him before he covers his mouth, looking almost as though he half-expects a Xigbar to show up]

[brightens visibly at the laugh, shooting a grin at Riku before looking back at Axel.]

Well, don't worry, I think I'd still love you if you were horribly disfigured.

Aww, thanks babe, and likewise.

[smooches his cheek!]

[he's relaxing more and more around Axel after watching them, though someone familiar like Kai being there has a lot to do with it. if it were Axel by himself he'd be more likely to think he were just trying to get Riku to let his guard down.]

Axel, would you... ah, have anything you wanted me to add to the laundry I plan to do? I don't mind...

[he's really happy that Riku's relaxing around Axel, though he's not sure what to say about that offer. it's nice, of course, but hmmmm. he'll just stay out of it and wait for Axel's response.]

[looks surprised for a half a second, then smiles easily.]

Nah, it's fine. Wouldn't do to break up the routine of waiting to do it until we've got one pair of pants left between the two of us, right?

[links hands with Kai, swinging them a bit.]

[stares a bit]

Please tell me when that time is getting close, then. I don't really want to find out who doesn't get to wear that one pair of pants.

[pats Riku's arm with his free hand.]

Don't worry, he has to wear a skirt when that happens.

Or nothing, but I don't leave our room like that, at least.

[ :D ]

...Right. I should probably get going.

[he's suddenly glad he doesn't know how to dismantle the traps to their room]

[B| hits Axel.]

Sorry, Riku, he's got absolutely no tact. Do you want me to stay in the area in case you get stuck under more mistletoe?
