The Mistletoe - a Gold Studios Christmas

Shoka has no clue how she ended up here.

In front of her stood Wryyn, a ghost merchant she was friends with. The two of them had been invited to a party where characters created by Gold Studios celebrated christmas together. The party was chaotic. These superhero kids were running all around, a giant monster was hogging the punch to themselves, some edgy guy in a coat was constantly casting some sort of spell, and this weird green bear lady had been flirting with her the entire time. She didn't really mind the last part, to be honest, but the rest was too much. Was was going to leave and went to look for Wryyn.

She found Wryyn, all right. Underneath a mistletoe.

Shoka had a small panic attack the moment she realized this. Holy shit. She had a huuuuge crush on Wryyn, loved her to absolute death. She was pretty, funny, charming, and despite her apathetic mood she always makes Shoka happier. Shoka should've been ecstatic to find an excuse to kiss her.

But the thing is, she had no clue if Wryyn would be ok with it. Would she find her weird if she kissed her, even if she had the mistletoe excuse? What if this tainted their friendship? What if she-

"Yo, Shoka. You alright? You look like you just went through the 5 stages of grief at once."

Shoka snapped back to reality to collect herself and turned to Wryyn...who was very close and had wrapped her arm around Shoka. The witches face immediately turned a bright red, and she started to mumble.

"O-o-o-oh, I'm ffff-f-f-ine, r-rr-eally." She finally said in the most calm voice she could muster. It still sounded insanely nervous. "I-i-ts j-j-just reall...really c-c-cold, y'know...?"

Wryyn got that cat grin she usually had grow on her face. "Oh? It's cold, huh? Here, lemme help."

Wryyn placed a hand gently on Shoka's cheek. Shoka became even redder, but the heat growing on her body did make her stop feeling cold. If anything...it felt kinda relaxing. Like sitting in front of a fireplace in a nice blanket. Slowly, Shoka's negative thoughts began to disappear as she threw her arms over Wryyn's shoulders absentmindedly. Wryyn blushed a bit.

"Now you're starting to get it." Wryyn stated. The smug cat grin dissolved into a genuine, warm smile. "If you would kindly look upwards..."

"Yeah..." Shoka replied blissfully. "I already know."

"Excellent." Wryyn replied. The two closed their eyes and leaned forwards as their lips pressed together. For the next full minute the two were lost in their own little world, nothing but themselves. For a moment, the two felt true bliss. *This is it*, Shoka thought. *I'm gonna ask her. Nothing is gonna stop-*

Suddenly the kiss was ended by Wryyn, who was VERY red. When Shoka opened up her eyes and saw this she stood their in stunned silence. Why was she blushing so hard? It was just a kiss under the Mistl-

*Holy shit...* Shoka thought to herself. *She...does she like me too?!*

"Sorry, sorry." Wryyn spoke up after a second of silence. "That was more...uh...to put it bluntly, amazing then I thought it would've been. N-not that kissing you wouldn't had been amazing, because I expected that, its just that it was even more amazing t-then I thought it...y'know...?"

Shoka just giggled. God, Wryyn is cute when flustered. "No problem, of course. It was...it was pretty much the best feeling I've ever felt...heh..."

"Yeah..." Wryyn replied. She was normally a lot more laid back and relaxed then this. Seeing her flustered was weird to Shoka.

The witch decided to ask the question. With a warm but nervous smile, she held Wryyn's hands and said "Wryyn...will you be my girlfriend...?"

"Yes." Wryyn replied almost immediately, as if she'd already made up her mind long ago. "A thousand time yes. No, a million."

The two leaned in for another kiss.

"I love you." Shoka whispered.

"I love you too." Wryyn whispered back.

They leaned in. Nothing could ruin this moment. Nothing at-

"Ah-hem."

The two paused and turned around to see Furmah holding Arak-Nia's hand. "Sorry to bother you, but you've been standing there for 20 minutes. Are you two ok?"

Turns out, it only felt like a minute. The two actually kissed for 20 minutes. Sounds cute, but it looks odd if you witness it. The two looked at each other and laughed. "Our bad," Shoka said. "We'll move."

The two walk away as Furmah and Nia shared their own kiss under the Mistletoe. Once they found a good spot, they looked into each others eyes.

"Now, where were we?"

"I believe it was...I love you."

"Damn right. C'mere, babe."

The two then shared another kiss.
