"What is that?", Nile asked, pointing at a small plant with white berries which was hanging from the ceiling.
"A mistletoe." The Egyptian looked clearly irritated. "It's a Christmas custom. If two people are underneath it at the same time they have to kiss.", you explained smiling.
"That's a dump tradition.", Kyoya growled from the couch. Since you tried to show team Wild Fang how Americans celebrated Christmas, he couldn't show his disapproval enough. But that didn't shattered your determination in any way. Moreover, it was simply adorable how little they knew about some Christmas traditions.
"You are just wasting our time."
"I think it's nice to learn something about other cultures.", Demure stammered, giving you a weak smile.
"B-b-bull! What can I do?" Benkei looked at you with excitement sparking in his eyes. You handed him a box full of Christmas decorations and he started to roam around the house, decorating everything with Demure. Even though you had no Christmas tree, because there were no firs growing in Africa, the house began to look very festive. Nile was about to slump down lazily on the couch next to Kyoya as you gave him a cheeky grin.
"No no mister! You are coming with me."
"What? No." He sighted desperately while you dragged him into the kitchen. "Why?"
"We're making the cookies!"
"You better ask somebody else, I never made cookies before." Nile crossed his arms over his chest.
"You can't talk yourself out of this! Besides, you owe me one.", you said, gathering all the ingredients needed for the cookies. After a while Nile gave in and helped you to prepare the dough. Both of you fell silent while working, but it wasn't an uncomfortable silence. You liked this calm side of Nile, it made you feel peaceful. While spooning the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, Nile suddenly broke the long silence.
"Thank you..."
"For what?", you asked, not looking up from your work.
"Doing this. I never celebrated Christmas before and the others are really enjoying your efforts. Kyoya may not show it, but he doesn't hate it entirely." You finally decided to look at him, but the sight of him made you burst out in laughter. Little parts of him were covered in flour. A deep sigh left his lips as he noticed.
"I better clean myself up.", he said and walked out of the kitchen. You realized he had left his bey Horuseus on the counter and quickly sprinted after him. You didn't want any flour to get between its parts.
"Hey Nile, you forgot your bey!" You finally reached him on the corridor right in front of his room. "I didn't want to spill anything on it, so I thought it would be better to get after you."
The taller Egyptian didn't appear to be listening to you. Instead, his eyes were focused on the top of the door frame both of you were standing in. You were about to ask him what was wrong, but then you looked up and saw the cluster of mistletoe stationed above you. Your face promptly turned a dark shade of red. After a few moments of silence, you began to speak: "Benkei and Demure clearly had fun putting up the christma-", but were rendered speechless again when Nile took your chin in his hand and pulled you in until your faces were mere inches apart. Your eyes grew wide as you stared into his dim green eyes. Was this happening? Yes, it was happening. Slowly he leaned towards you, catching you in a soft kiss. After a few seconds of trying to comprehend exactly what was happening, you gave up and leaned into Nile's warm embrace, trying to let yourself savor the moment instead of getting excited and ruining it. For several moments, you two stood there under the mistletoe, kissing. As you parted, you looked shyly at your feet.
"How about some hot chocolate?", you asked nervously. Nile tilted his head at your question.
"Hot chocolate? Mh sounds good..." You giggled softly at his inexperience and you two headed back to the kitchen.
Hope you liked it! I'm planning to do more Nile Oneshots in the future, because he's my favourite character (with Damian). Maybe including more beyblading or more serious content? Chris x Reader is following soon!
