Mistletoe Meme
( because who doesn't hate recaptcha...! ) 

Huh... There's a mistletoe right above you... T'is the season-- almost. And it looks like you got stuck right under that mistletoe with someone else. And you both can't move until you kiss one another (Of course, not specifying where that kiss needs to happen).

① Seriously, I just took this from bakerstreet since the original post pretty much hit recaptcha.
② Tag with a top level calling out one of my characters and make me write a starter. Or you can write a starter. Whatever. (If you're continuing from the meme, feel free to just link to the last tag or whatever.)
③ ???
⑥ Cute kisses everywhere!

Komaeda... [There he goes again. It hadn't even been a minute since they got stuck. He sighs heavily.]

No. I'd rather not be stuck here. [He looks down to where his foot is trapped between the floor boards. He has to slouch to take the weight off it and that's annoying.]

It's fine, okay? We'll focus on getting out of here.

[...]

Well, if you say so. [ He isn't entirely convinced, however, of his thoughts on the situation conflict just a tad. ] But I suppose we should get this out of the way first. I suppose you already know the stories in regards to Christmas and mistletoe, correct? It's more of a Western tradition, so it's completely fine if you're not aware of it!

[ Really, Komaeda has no plans on judging Hinata on knowledge outside his frame of reference, especially if it's of a tradition that isn't as well known in Japan as it is in other foreign countries. ]

[He isn't sure where this is going. Hinata tugs on his foot, hissing with pain. The wood is digging into his leg. Wait. He jerks his head up with an embarrassed sputter.] W-wait, what are you suggesting?!

[He knows just enough to guess at what's coming up. It's enough to make him wonder at Komaeda's 'luck'.]

Did you p-plan this?'

[luckingout]

I'm just stating the obvious, Hinata-kun. Of course, I didn't plan this to happen, [ at least, as far as he knows ] but that's how this goes, don't you think?

I mean... stuck under mistletoe with someone only implies that you kiss the person you're stuck with to get out, right?

[Komaeda has a point but he doesn't have to like it. He sighs, giving his foot one last tug before he looks at him.]

You're right. [This...is not going to be something he wants to admit but he has to say it.] I've never kissed anyone before.

...but I'll lead if you want me to. You just have to come over here.

[luckingout]

If you've never kissed anyone, then this really must be unlucky for you! For your first kiss has to be with someone like me...

[ Even though it might seem as if he's talking about Hinata being unlucky, the truth is that he's talking about himself in the end. He's the unlucky one, for forcing Hinata-kun to give away his first kiss just to get out of here. ]

I probably should be the one to lead. It's only fair, right? [ Of course, he takes those few steps forward, reeling but trying his best to keep himself together. He just hopes that this kiss will bring out a brighter hope than before, as he leans in to take it. ]

[Hinata watches him approach and sighs. He can tell Komaeda is kicking himself like he always does. It's so stupid. He reaches up, gathering his shirt in his hand and jerks him down, pressing his mouth to his with an irritated growl. The annoyance is ripped away as some pressure inside eases.

Here is his best chance to finally figure Komaeda out. He grabs his shirt with his other hand to keep him right where he wants him to be. No slipping away or walking off before he's ready to stop. He narrows his eyes at him, daring him to try to escape.]
