Yuletide season is yet here again. Singing Christmas carols, the street full of Christmas lights, big tree is up, people greeting happy holidays, and Christmas shopping rush in a snow day. I love this season as much as I love autumn. The only dreaded thing I wanted to avoid as much as possible is getting under the mistletoe with someone. The last time I had one was with my crush and he didn't kiss because he said yuck. At my fucking face!

Total embarassment. You really can't blame me if I hate that stupid plant. Anyways, here I am preparing for Christmas Eve with the gang. While I am finishing the tree, Nanami is assigned to decorate the fireplace, Megumi, Yuji, and Nobara set up the food, and Gojo is goofing around with the garlands. The place is already noisy because of them and because of Gojo being too loud. I looked at them in awe and continued decorating.

When I finished the tree, I went to the kitchen to help with the food when Nanami came in to help me too.

"Yuno, can you help me in here please," Nanami called from where the oven was.

"Yeah?"

"Help me pull this ham. It's kinda heavy."

"Oh, yeah."

I grabbed another pair of pot holders and helped him carry it towards the counter to slice them.

"I'll slice them," I said as I grabbed the knife and fork. I started slicing and he said, "I'll just accompany you here."

I smiled at him and acknowledged his gesture. We talked and laughed when he suddenly asked, "so, did you ever kiss someone under the mistletoe?" And I cut my finger.

"Ow!"

"Shit!"

He grabbed my hand and brought me to the sink to wash it off. I hissed at the contact of the cold water.

"Sorry," he started, still not letting go of my hand as the water is running.

"It's okay."

"Probably the question's too absurd."

"It's fine. Just that the question surprises me when you asked that."

He only nodded. He turned off the faucet and carefully dried my hands. He walked away and opened the cabinet to get the first aid kit. He came back with the band-aid and covered my cutted finger. But he never let it go.

We looked at each other and smiled. We were in the moment when Gojo said something that broke our staring contest and looked at him,  "Ooohhhh, Nanamin, you're standing under the mistletoe with Yuno."

I looked at above our heads and there, the plant I feared most. I blushed and said, "N-no, Nanami doesn't want to, right?"

I looked at him but he's already staring at me.

"Can't be helped then," he said and kissed me fully on the lips.

I froze and my eyes went big. I heard Gojo snickering and called the gang to watch. But I soon returned the kiss when Nanami used his other hand to put it on my nape to pull me closer to him.

I felt eyes were looking at us but I didn't care. I admit, I started to like mistletoes.
