25 Days of Egos

Day 1: Mistletoe

        Hey guys, Butterlover328 here with another challenge!! It's going to be similar to the Egotober challenge, but this time it's going to be themed around the holidays and winter!! I'm really excited for this month, and since I'm not too busy, I should hopefully get something out every day, unlike in October when I was busy with school and work. Also, I've learned my lesson from October. I won't be writing 2k+ one-shots every day, instead I'll be writing short little drabbles. This way I can keep to a schedule, and it's something I can accomplish every day. Anyways, I'm going to stop rambling and let you start reading. I hope you guys enjoy this story, and I'll see you later. Bye!!

Marvin never expected this to happen when he put the spell on the mistletoe.

Well, technically Chase was the one to come up with the idea, but it was Marvin's own fault for falling for it.

So now here he was, stuck in the doorway to the kitchen, unable to move until someone else got trapped under the tiny plant. And the only way to break the spell was to kiss.

Oh, he was so going to hex Chase when he got out of this.

"Marvin??"

The magician turned around to see none other than Jackieboy Man staring curiously at him. Marvin flushed in embarrassment, and was grateful that his mask covered most of his face so that it hid his expression from the superhero.

"Oh. H-hi, Jackie." Marvin stammered. Immediately he started to curse himself for his stupidity in his head. Why did he have to be the one to find him?? This was going to ruin everything. Stupid Chase.

"Are you alright??" Jackie asked, furrowing his eyebrows. Marvin didn't know if Jackie was concerned about him or was just wondering why he was standing in the middle of a doorway like an idiot.

"Y-yeah, of course!!" Marvin exclaimed, flinching as he realized he had just shouted in Jackie's ear. Smooth, Marv. Now he definitely knows something's up.

"Are you sure??" Jackie asked, confusion evident in his tone. Marvin deflated, figuring it was better to get it over with now than have some other poor soul- or worse, Anti- get trapped and be forced to participate in this mess of a holiday tradition.

"No." Marvin stated, sounding a little sullen as he admitted the truth. "I put a spell on the mistletoe that would keep whoever walked under it stuck until they were kissed by someone else under the spell, and now I'm trapped in the doorway until someone else falls for this stupid thing."

Jackie quickly glanced up at the mistletoe before turning his gaze back to Marvin, an unreadable expression on his face. "Have you tried to break the spell with your wand??"

Marvin's face flushed even more, and he rubbed his hand behind his neck as he refused to meet Jackie's eyes.

"Well, you see..." Marvin started, dragging on the last word. "I uh, I may have left my wand in the kitchen after I performed the spell, and I was going back to get it when I got stuck."

Jackie peered into the kitchen, and was able to see Marvin's wand lying innocently on the counter from where he was standing. He stood for a moment, his eyes flicking back between the mistletoe and the magician, before he finally came to a conclusion.

"Well, I guess then I'm going to have to get you out."

Marvin's eyes widened considerably, and he paled as he realized what Jackie's plan was. "B-but the only way to break the spell is to kiss!!"

Jackie's eye had a hidden gleam to it, and he smirked as he stepped closer to the boundary of the spell.

Marvin tried to convince Jackie to stay back, that it wasn't worth it for both of them to be trapped, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. As Jackie finally was encased in the spell's confines, he noticed that Marvin stepped back a little bit to make some room for him, even though they were restricted to the width of the doorway.

"We can probably get away with j-just kissing on the cheeks." Marvin said, twiddling his thumbs as he seemed to close in on himself. "It technically fulfills the requirement for the spell, and then we can just move on and forget about this-"

"What if I don't want to??" Jackie interrupted. Marvin's head whipped up as he stared at Jackie, his mouth agape.

"W-what??"

"I said," Jackie took a step towards Marvin, his eyes gazing into Marvin's soul. "What if I don't want to??"

And with that, Jackie cupped Marvin's face into his hands, and kissed him firmly on the lips.

Marvin let out a gasp of surprise, but let his eyes flutter shut as he started to return the kiss. It was slow and unsure at first, but they quickly fell into a rhythm and started increasing the intensity as they grew confident that the other wouldn't pull away. Marvin pushed down Jackie's hood so he could entangle his fingers in the hero's hair, and in response Jackie pushed Marvin against the doorway. It was like time had stopped, and they were the only thing that was real in each other's worlds. They felt like they could do this forever.

Until they heard the sound of a photo being taken.

"Got 'em!!" Chase yelled, taking a second to scroll through his pictures of the couple. Marvin and Jackie's eyes burst open and they jumped back from each other as the moment dissipated. Marvin winced as his head slammed into the doorway, having had nowhere else to go, and he rubbed the sore spot to try to soothe the injury.

"Chase!!" Jackie exclaimed, a little irritated at the man for ruining the moment.

"Well, it was about time you two got together!! You two were just lollygagging and hoping the other would say something, I just finally made it happen!!" The father said, trying to defend himself. His eyebrows suddenly rose as he remembered something important. "Oh hey, I gotta tell Schneep about this. He owes me twenty dollars!!"

Before Jackie could get a word in, Chase turned around and took off in the direction he came from, disappearing around the corner in a flash. The hero let out a frustrated sigh and turned back to Marvin, an unconscious smile tugging at his face as he laid eyes on the magician.

"Do you wanna go after him, or..." He trailed off, hoping that Marvin could understand what he was trying to say.

Marvin glanced in the direction Chase went before his eyes met Jackie's once again. "I'll let him off the hook for now. It'll make our revenge taste so much sweeter if he's not expecting it."

Jackie hummed in response as his eyes flicked to Marvin's lips. "And for now??"

"For now," Marvin leans in and pecks Jackie's lips, quickly pulling back to speak. "I'm fine with just staying here and kissing you."

Jackie looks gobsmacked for a second, but then a lovestruck grin appears on his face. "You know what?? I'm fine with that too."

Hey guys, Butterlover328 here once again. I hope you enjoyed this story, because I really enjoyed writing it. (Is it obvious that I'm Marvelsepticeye trash now?? Because I sure think so. Well, expect to see a lot more from this couple, because they're my new OTP.) This was my first time writing a kiss scene, and I would appreciate some feedback as to how I did. Anyways, I've gotta go, so I'll see you tomorrow with the next day's prompt: Hot Chocolate. Bye!!
