[This month of July, Link has been making more filing trips to the library than before, taking two showers a day, deciding to get some air, running to the shop for catfood, and basically making any excuse to be slightly farther from Allen Walker than has become habit.

It's mistletoe season after all.]

((ooc: personal mistletoe post, since I missed all of them.))

—um.

[boundbydevotion]

I just got through telling you--

--Is this some kind of taunt?!

[allmadeofstars]

N-no, I—. . . no . . .

[boundbydevotion]

[IS GETTING TO HIS FEET NOW. And.. blushing his head off]

[allmadeofstars]

I just wanted to do it without the mistletoe!

[boundbydevotion]

What for?

[allmadeofstars]

. . . it's nice.

[boundbydevotion]

. . .

[Jerks his wrist out of Allen's grip]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . sorry. I just—. . . ahhh . . .

[boundbydevotion]

As much as I am loath to deny you something nice, Walker, I cannot be that sort of entertainment for you.

[Yeah, now he's angry]

[allmadeofstars]

[blink]



No, that's not what I meant—!!

[boundbydevotion]

Then what do you mean by it? Following a whim!

[allmadeofstars]

. . . it's not a whim.

[boundbydevotion]

[DOUBT]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . or at least not a bad one.

You're upset about the mistletoe because you don't like something like that being . . . casual and forced.

[boundbydevotion]

"Not a bad--" IT IS ONE PROBLEM AMONG MANY!

[allmadeofstars]

. . . so why don't we talk about it? There's obviously . . . um, a lot on your mind.

[boundbydevotion]

I have to explain why trying to fix my issues with mistletoe by--by kissing me is inadvisable? It should be obvious!

[allmadeofstars]

You don't want to kiss me?

[boundbydevotion]

[EARS BURNING JUST HEARING YOU SAY THAT]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . oh?

[boundbydevotion]

[jerks his gaze away.] That's enough. Don't play with me, Walker. If I must explain then I will.

[allmadeofstars]

. . . You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

[boundbydevotion]

[hff. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts.]
