1. Pick one of your characters.
2. Pick one of my characters (or have me surprise you).
3. There's mistletoe! It can be magical or traditional, but ideally the thread will end in Christmas smooches.
4. Profit.

[She shrugs.]

Would you rather leave it up for just anyone to stumble into?

Says the girl who just stumbled into it. Onto it. Under it. You know what I mean.

( He purses his lips, cheeks puffing. )

Maybe I can get one of the grabbers.

( For when Sam is out and Dean isn't the tallest. It was Jack's idea, it was a smart one.

Dean decides his course of action but realizes after taking a step he can't go any further, like he's stuck inside this radius. He turns back to Elena, side steps, and gets the same result to his right. )

Think you unleashed enchanted mistletoe.

[braveandstupid]

The flying part didn't give that away?

[Because she would think that's a pretty key. But she's mostly teasing.]

How do you think it works?

( So he's state-the-obvious guy. There are different things this mistletoe could have been. A trap was not on his Bingo card. And a trap is always on his Bingo card. )

Dunno, traps can be tripped. And escaped. Question's how.

[braveandstupid]

[She nods, before looking back up at it, studying the situation.]

It is mistletoe. Do you think it's that easy?

[cholesterol]

That -

( Is she getting what he thinks she's getting at? He looks up and back down again. )

It's a kissing trap? ( He almost calls her out, this is not where her mind should be (yes, his mind lives there all the time, this is his mind, not hers), but the more he thinks about it, the more it makes sense. ) So, logic would follow if we kissed, we're let out. Romantic trap.

[braveandstupid]

[It's mistletoe, Dean. Most people's minds would go to kissing.]

That's the logic I would follow, yes. Though I think the level of romance would depend on who you're stuck with.

[cholesterol]

So, it's an indiscriminate kissing trap.

( Meant to baffle someone long enough to get away? He figures. )

Guess it'd give you the time to get away if you sprung this on someone. So. We kiss.

[braveandstupid]

[She laughs as she winds her arms around his neck.]

You don't have to sound so disappointed about it.

[He does like kissing her, last she checked. She takes another step closer and flashes him a smile.]

Yes, we kiss.

Hey, you know firsthand I'm basically a teenager when it comes to that.

( Hours spent kissing is sometimes more pleasurable than the whole act and a lot less tiring at his age. )

But, I don't like it when it's being dictated to me.

( He softens then, as does his expression. Her smile tends to melt even his most ornery of moods and he settles against her naturally. It's been a long time since it's felt this natural with anyone. A real damn long time. And he lets that sink into the kiss he shares, giving in to the mistletoe's demands. A few seconds pass as he lets himself get into it and he can hear the mistletoe flop to the ground. )

[braveandstupid]

[Elena doesn't either, but as far as traps go, this is a fairly harmless one and partially her fault. She lets the kiss linger a little longer after the mistletoe falls, simply because she does enjoy kissing him, before pulling back with a sigh.]

Easiest supernatural problem I've ever solved.
