[duplicitas]

[ natasha sounds irritated what else is new. ]

This place gets more ridiculous by the day. Must we play out every cliche Christmas tradition?

[ ooc: feel free to run into nat wherever you please, she's out and about! ]

[Usually, Billy is prepared for this.

Usually he wouldn't come to walk on a day such as this one.

But he's distracted and also he needs to go in the store when he sees Natasha, and he knows her, she's the Black Widow and he needs to be nice to her or she'll kill him with an eyelash curler or something.]

Hi, Ms. Romanov.

[duplicitas]

[ oh no. is he even legal? who is this boy and why does he know her name what is happening oh no.

well too late natasha's got both arms around his shoulders and kissing him before she can actually inquire as to how he knows her name. this is terrible. ]

[repeatshimself]

[Oh holy god.

Oh holy god in heaven.

Billy is kissing back and it's weird because she's shorter than he is and also the Black Widow and holy crap-

When he pulls away he stares at her for a minute.]

Uh.

It's nice to see you too.

[duplicitas]

[ everyone is taller than natasha. even billy. what is her life. ]

Have we met?

[ nevermind the kiss, why do you know her name? ]

[valentineluke]

It could be worse.

[duplicitas]

Everything could be worse.

[ she made out with a young avenger there is no worse thing ]

[valentineluke]

I suggest finding somewhere with as few humanoids as possible.

[duplicitas]

You'd be surprised at how hard that task suddenly is.

[oneminutemaze]

[ Ariadne is trying to go to work, but it's a bit difficult with all the mistletoe everywhere. ]

Apparently.

[ And-- oh, no. Mistletoe. At all of 5'1", it looks like it's Natasha's turn to be pulled down for a kiss. ]

[duplicitas]

[ this literally never happens to her. congratulations on being shorter than her ariadne.

also. oh. kissing. well, this is some first meeting. natasha slides her arms around ariadne's waist and dips her back. no big deal. ]

[oneminutemaze]

[ Worst thing to win ever.

Hey, at least they've spoken before. She was definitely not expecting a dip, but it's nice (very nice) and is going to result in Ariadne threading her fingers through Natasha's hair. ]

[duplicitas]

[ natasha is the most dashing.

and when she slowly, slowly pulls away, there's that awkward pause. well at least ariadne's legal unlike some young avengers who shall remain nameless. ]

Well then.

[rehymenator]

[ It's cool, Castiel will totally take care of the mistletoe currently above the door Black Widow's standing in. Okay, well look. He tried. He's even got a hand on it, it's just-- well that seems to have made it even more potent or something. Way to go, Castiel. You really suck at this.

If she lets him and doesn't try to break it off, the angel moves to thread his free arm around her waist and pull her in close. ]

[duplicitas]

[ if this wasn't a curse she just might have broken his arm. but sadly she cannot, which is why her arms slide up around his neck and pull him down to kiss him thoroughly.

enjoy your life, castiel. ]

[rehymenator]

[ He returns the kiss with eagerness, even if it is a little awkward. He can get a little lip-bitey when he's excited. ]

[duplicitas]

[ that's fine. natasha bites back just as hard when provoked. and eventually just. leans back. ]

And who might you be?

[heelsandlaw]

[ Cameron was only stopping by the police station to get some stuff she'd left last time. And to drop of donuts, because she might no longer be Chief of Police, but it's tradition, okay.

She didn't mean to run into anyone. Especially not with mistletoe around. ]

[duplicitas]

[ welp. natasha really only meant to say hello, but apparently that now consists of pulling cameron down for a kiss. damn this mistletoe. ]

[heelsandlaw]

[ It's only pulling down because Cam is wearing high heels, anyways. But that aside-- kissing back, her arms sliding around Natasha. ]

[duplicitas]

[ at this rate natasha's going to end up kissing everyone she's spoken to and then some. but there's a few minutes of kissing before natasha pulls back. and then sighs. ]

Mistletoe. I knew I'd missed a sprig of it somewhere.
