❝ What happens under the mistletoe, stays under the mistletoe. ❞

Christmas is considered as one of the best time of the year. The happiness that comes along with it is incomparable. The family gatherings and exchanging gifts, the joy of giving and making your loved ones happy brings a satisfaction upon one's self.

Aira has always loved christmas just like any other person would. But this time it was something special for her considering the fact that she was able to celebrate it with Ethan, but not just being his best friend but also being his girlfriend. Just the way she wanted.

"Ethan go away! Shoo! You're going to destroy the christmas tree." Aira huffed as she glared at the clumsy mess Ethan was.

"Aira my leg's stuck in this rope light. Help!" He called as his ankle was tied along the blue coloured rope light near the tree.

Rolling her eyes, she went near him and tried to get him out of the fuss he created, "You're so clumsy." Shaking her head, she pulled him through his arms and stumbled backwards when his ankle was set free.

"Thank you, stupid." He giggled as his brown curls fell upon his forehead.

She narrowed her eyes, ready to pounce at him for calling her stupid. For all he could do was say a thank you for getting him out of the mess. But ignoring it she turned her glance towards the main door where her elder sister was standing with her boyfriend, hugging and kissing him.

"Ew. These two make me sick. She's gonna have cooties. Boys are unhealthy and they carry germs." Aira made a face while she stared at the pair who where so indulged in each other that they forgot others existed.

"No! We boys don't carry germs, it's you girls who carry them. Disgusting." Ethan fake gagged.

"What? Obviously not. You boys are dirty and I'm so sure you didn't even take a bath for the last two days." She teased him more.

"What? No!" He pouted at her as she laughed with how easily he gets frustrated. Realising she was just messing up with him, he let out an annoyed sigh. "Shut up you're so annoying!"

That made her laugh a little bit more. "Yo-you're so cute." She fake wiped a tear as he stared at her still with a cute pout on his lips. "Okay, but do you know these couples have a tradition of kissing under the mistletoe during christmas?" She spoke, once her laughter died down, with the same expression of disgust on her face as she had earlier.

Minutes later Ethan spoke, "uhm... Do you realise uhm like.. we're currently standing under a mistletoe?"

Aira's eyes widened with realisation as she stared at him and then above their heads where the mistletoe was hanging. Her eyes landed back at him, "Uhm... no we're never going to kiss each other. Right?"

He nodded his head positively and replied, "yup. We'll never kiss each other. That would be so awkward."

♡

"So are you ever going to plan on kissing me under the mistletoe?" Aira turned towards Ethan as they stood besides each other with their arms linked with each other and a light smile set on their faces.

"Well you said we'll never kiss each other, didn't you?" He raised his eyebrow shrugging his shoulders.

"I even said you never take a bath. That's true, isn't it?" She tried to suppress her laughter as he pouted.

"Not again!" He rolled his eyes at her as he knew she loved teasing him.

A laughter escaped her mouth as she saw him getting annoyed with her constant teasing. "Okay. Okay, I'll stop now. But you know we shouldn't break the tradition by not kissing each other."

He smirked at her. "Wow, I wasn't aware that you want to be kissed by me so badly."

She giggled a bit and came closer to him, tangling her fingers into his hair, "You're such a nerd." Saying so, she closed the distance between them by pulling him near her.

They stood their under the mistletoe, kissing and not letting the tradition die.
