Kamukoma week day 4: mistletoe -or- the nutcracker

"What is the point in this?" Izuru plucked the small nutcracker off the table.
Nagito looked back from where he was stringing up lights and gave a smile.
"The nutcracker?"
"You don't eat nuts, why get a nutcracker?"
"It was a gift from one of our friends." He set the lights down on an end table and took a seat beside Izuru.
"Isn't it cute?" The boy gave a smile, but Izuru didn't show the same amusement.
"I don't find it particularly appealing. Cute you say? Should I dress like this for you to find me cute too?"
The thought of Izuru dressed like the small nutcracker forced a smile out of him before he leaned against the dark male.
"Not at all, you're the cutest there is." He quickly cleared his throat to alleviate the red that had grown on his ears.
"Do you know the story of the Nutcracker?" He changed the topic, noticing the visible confusion knit in Izuru's eyebrows.
"A story for a simple toy?"
"I don't know it well," Nagito admitted, continuing on. "But it's a famous Christmas one. The Nutcracker comes to life!"
The dark male blinked and turned the nutcracker over, as though looking for something before turning it back and looking across the still-painted face.
"Doesn't look alive to me. What is this story?"
Nagito reached an arm out and placed his hand stop Izuru's to calm his investigation of the contraption.
"Let's rent the movie, if you'd like to watch a movie with me that is."
The male blinked, setting the toy down and suddenly pulled in his shy boyfriend for a hug.
"Like to? Of course I would like to. I want you to teach me everything about this Nutcracker."
