SUDDENLY: MISTLETOE.

[fu_noobspeaker]

Well gosh! It's all so festive, y'all!

happy holidays. :') ]

[SIGH]

[im_impulse]

*I tried okay, I REALLY TRIED :(*

I should've triple knotted it...

[rhymeswithpain]

Next time.

[im_impulse]

*self-consciously rubs where she grabbed his head*

Yeah but I didn't mean--I mean I don't mind but--I...next time's different from right now.

[rhymeswithpain]
