note: Aaa I haven't updated in a while huh? Sorry, sorry my fellow KizaKuro fans ; w ; I decided to follow in my pal, Aesudesu's example and write something quick for Christmas!

mistletoe

It was a week before Christmas when Kizami came over to stay the night. His family was prepping for the upcoming holiday and in turn Kizami had to help out as well since he was staying over for the day. Kurosaki knew his friend wasn't the jolliest of people so it was somewhat exciting to see him decorating the house!

"Oi, Kurosaki what is that?" Kizami pointed to a leafy decoration above them.

"Hu...?" Kurosaki looked at Kizami questionably as he sucked on a candy cane. He glanced up and saw the mistletoe above them and took the minty treat out of his mouth to answer his friend, "Oh, you don't know Kizami? I put it up there so when Mitsuki comes over to exchange gifts, there will be a little surprise under us!" Although having to steep to low tricks for a Christmas kiss, he grinned proudly.

The taller teen tilted his head. "...? That doesn't explain what does."

Kurosaki blinked. "O-Oh, it must be your first time seeing one huh? Um, it is a mistletoe. When two people stand underneath one, it's tradition that they kiss."

They stared at each other for a moment - Kurosaki wanting to break the silence but his friend looked like he wanted to say something.

"...We should kiss then."

Whoa - Kurosaki had to stop and rewind to hear what he just heard correctly. "Wh-What?" The boy stammered exasperatedly. Kizami looked at him with aloof eyes. "That wouldn't be a problem right? It's tradition. You can't cheat tradition."

"…" His friend had a point. Warmth spread across his cheeks. "U-Um… fine… but only a peck!" He set the ground rules. It wasn't like the both of them would enjoy this anyway - so why is his stomach doing flip-flops? Kizami gave him a boyish smile which made butterflies flutter in his chest.

His friend suddenly began to close the space between them and Kurosaki's eyes widen for a moment. He was actually serious! …Kizami is always serious so he shouldn't be so surprised- right? Kurosaki shut his eyes tightly as he awaited the kiss from Kizami. He felt a soft and light peck on the side of his mouth. Was that it? "…." Slowly, he opened his eyes and saw Kizami standing in front of him. "K-Kizami…?" The blush hadn't disappeared from his features.

"Did that count or do I need to give it another go?" The taller male asked.

His face reddened. "No! You're good! Ahahaha…" Kurosaki laughed away his nervousness. "Anyway we're done here so let's play video games in my room!"

Kizami nodded, approving of that idea. "Alright."

He could taste a dash of mint on his lips.
