#mistletoe 2022

[ayda--demir]

Mistletoe 2022 | Canon

Where: Outside of Nevra’s home

When: Dec 9, 2022

Who: @ayaz--ates​

Ayda hated running late. 

She had sent Nevra a few texts letting her know that she’d be there in ten minutes. 

Ever since the two of them were officially out of the Turk gang, they started making their own traditions. Christmas was something that she was lightly exposed to growing up considering that she was Muslim, but she loved the feeling that would float in the air. 

That the possibility of miracles could really happen.

Now it was about spending time together. Reminding each other that no matter what happened throughout the year -- the bullshit they would endure, the anxiety attacks she would have when Nevra was sent out, that this time of the year they would make for them and celebrate. It would involve corny decorations, their love for their Christmas tree, and Ayda would make sure that there was always cooked food in the house over the month for Nevra. It was the one time she would have a drink, or two, because she knew with Nevra, she was in a safe place. 

It was their way of healing. 

“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” Ayda mumbles, slowing her steps when she comes up to Nev’s home. Normally, over this month she ended up spending more time here, the couch becoming her bed, or the floor if she wanted to spread out more. 

Her hand rested on the handle of the door, lingering, when a flicker from the window caught her attention, showing two shadows inside – barely making out a second one, but there were two heads. They weren’t expecting anyone, usually it was only the two of them, 

She slowly opened the door and it was his voice that made her stop in her tracks. Berat. What was he doing here? Ayda pulled out her phone to see if Nevra texted her back letting her know they were having company, but nothing. Still only her texts saying that she was running a little late. 

Quietly she moved inside, towards the living room, seconds from making her presence known when she caught sight of Nevra and Berat kissing from one of the mirrors on the wall. Her head started to spin, a hand coming up to lean on the wall, and she felt like the walls were closing in on her. She couldn’t breathe. 

Air, I need air.

Her body screamed at her to get out, and she did, where she made it back outside and the door shut softly behind her. Her small frame leaned against it and all she could see, eyes open or closed, was the two of them locked in a kiss – her ex boyfriend and her best friend. 

Tears instantly sprung to her eyes and a tsunami of emotions crashed upon her, wave upon wave of hurt, betrayal, humiliation, never being enough, rippled through her. Nevra would always be the one he would chase after. The pieces of her heart that were barely hanging on dropped to the pit of her stomach and she felt that empty shell start to swallow her; the place she so desperately tried to pull herself out of. Ayda didn’t want to be that person anymore. 

She wanted the sunshine and light. Ayda wanted to feel the warmth and let it envelop her. 

A hand comes up to wipe under her eyes when a crunch of a branch catches her attention and her head snaps up to see Ayaz coming towards the house. 

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

This was bad, real bad. There was no way she could let him go inside and see them. There may have been a small part that thought about it for a second, but no matter what, she had to protect Nevra, and she was going to be stupid enough to protect Berat. How much more could she allow him to tear her down?

The Turk steps down the stairs, putting on smile to hide the hurt that was slowly killing her on the inside. Hiding emotions was something she was good at. 

“Ayaz, I am surprised to see you. How are you doing?” Ayda needed to keep some small chit chat, where she was certain he would remind her how useless she was, but she would bare it for them. 

“Are you joining Nevra and I for dinner tonight?” That could definitely be a deterring factor for him to stay away. He wouldn’t want to spend an evening with her around.

Mistletoe 2022 || Canon

Location: Vixen @kathleenzhao​

Avoiding Vixen was a move that was out of character for Jean Palfroix. He could be found there whether or not he was accompanied by his French brethren. But between the fight with Dante, the still confusing kiss he’d planted on Kathleen’s lips, and what he’d went through with the Kurylenkos, the frequency of his visits had dropped dramatically. He could tell himself that he was focusing on a plan for Haringey all he wanted, but deep down he knew why he’d avoided the club.

Yet, sitting alone in his apartment with a bottle and his demons didn’t feel very in line with the Christmas spirit. And so he walked into Vixen, his head head high, the douchebag sunglasses inside hiding just how red his eyes were. He’d barely made it two steps inside, when his eyes landed on her. And despite himself, the first genuine smile in months started to grow across his lips. “Hey, you look lovely.”

MISTLETOE

little separate short imagines of Xavier and Ajax under mistletoe

XAVIER

your friends had only one plan for christmas

getting two of their friends together because they flirting is annoying

and it was true, you two weren't together, but you weren't just friends either.

and your guys' friends thought you just needed a little push to finally decide what you both wanted.

you're friends had thought about every possible way to get you two to stand below it together.

But Enid the best plan of all.

every Sunday you would go over to Xavier's dorm to hang out. and today was like every other.

only today there was mistletoe hanging from the frame of his door that Ajax had planted due to Enid not being tall enough.

you walked to his room with a little box, his present. this was on of the last times you would see Xavier before leaving for Christmas, so you wanted to see his reaction to your gift.

you knocked on the door, unaware of a couple of sneaky people watching you from around the corner

the door opened and you smiled widely at the tall boy you were hoping to see

"Hey" he greeted you

"hi!" you beamed

"what's that?" he inquired, looking down at your hands to the box

"your present of course!" you rolled your eyes playfully, noticing his smirk.

but that wasn't the only thing you noticed

as you looked up at Xavier, you noticed just barely in your vision was something hanging from above. looking further up you noticed the green and red decoration above you.

"oh" you blinked

Xavier lifted his head up to get a look, seeing it too

"I didn't put that there I swear" he denied

"are you sure? who else would put it up there?" you questioned

"well I don't know" you looked down at his feet

"sooo, what are we gonna do about it?" a little smirk formed on your face

"well it is a tradition" he stated with a slight shrug, licking his lips

"and we can't break a tradition, can we?" you asked cheekily

"no, we couldn't, we shouldn't" he shook his head as his dimples came to view on his cheeks

he reached a hand to your cheek and caressed it with his thumb, pulling you in by the waist with his other hand, leaning down to kiss you

you removed a hand from the box and held it in one hand as you placed the other on his chest, kissing him back

you're friends high fived each other before scurrying off. happy with their scheme.

AJAX

Ajax had wanted to ask you out for ages, ever since you said his snakes were cute he was swoon.

so he thought of the best way to confess, he made up a list of things he could do but chose one that was festive for the holiday only a few days to come.

he knew you loved Christmas, so why not confess to you in a Christmas themed way?

so once he got the mistletoe a store in town, he held it in his pocket, not knowing when he would see you next

so he knew he was prepared when you came running up to him

"Ajax!" you smiled, he grinned and took a deep breath

"hey! what's up" he asked

"nothing, I was just coming over to see how you were, maybe ask about your Christmas plans or snakes!" you giggled

"how kind of you, I'm good, you?" he spoke nervously

"I'm good thank you! what are you doing Christmas?" you questioned sweetly

"hanging with family, you 'know. the usual" he shrugged

you hummed along with a big smile

"what about you?" he inquired

"I'm going to Enid's for Christmas, my family went to France" you stated

"oh, cool" he nodded his head

you noticed one of his snakes slithering out of his beanie.

"aww, hey buddy!" you looked at it in awe

"anyway, I should probably get going, bye, Jax!" you waved, but before you walked off he stopped you

"hey, wait a second" he pulled you back to him

"yeah?" you looked at him softly

"well, uh" he spoke sheepishly

he took the mistletoe from his pocket and lifted it above your head, making you look up

"is that mistletoe?" you asked cluelessly

"yes?" he shrugged

"that's adorable!" you beamed at him

he leaned in and kissed you softly, lowering the mistletoe to hold you in his arms

you laughed against his lips as one of his snaked licked your forehead

you pulled away from him and stared at his features

"you're so cute!" your nose scrunched up

"I really like you" he confessed

you went on your tippy toes to kiss his cheek

"I like you too, Jax" you admitted

"oh thank god" he took a deep breath

Mistletoe Distraction

12 Days of Christmas: Day 3

Plot: While in the office late at night, Lou uses a familiar tradition to distract Y/n from the stress of work.

Pairing: Lou Ransone x Gn!Reader

A/n: Though it is about mistletoe, Christmas is not mentioned in this oneshot

Warnings: A kiss obviously lol, and a slightly suggestive conversation, but that's it.

Words: ~1k

-

Sitting on the edge of Lou's desk, you read through the report one more time. You had been stuck on this case for the whole day, making no new headway and it was getting to you. Catching no new information you could use, you closed it.

Setting it down on his desk, you sighed and stood up, stretching "There's nothing in these reports we don't already know."

Lou closed the file in his own hands as he nodded "Yeah, I know. Maybe we should take a break for the night."

Walking into the doorway and looking out into the office, you noted that most of the lights were off as everyone else had already gone home.

Looking at the clock, you saw it was close to midnight. You had known many cops and detectives to stay well past working on their own cases.

Turning around, you leaned against the doorway and looked in on Lou "Why does it feel like we're the only one's that care about this case?"

Lou smiled and shook his head "We're not, we just happen to be the only two obsessed enough with it to stay after work until-" He checked his watch and peered back at you "Midnight."

"I've seen cops stay longer for their own cases." You mumbled before you leaned it against the doorway. "And I'm not even tired."

Lou watched you for a moment, before his eyes slowly rose, catching on the decoration hanging above you. He felt a small jolt in his chest as he remembered seeing one of the deputies hang it on his door as a joke earlier in the day. He was on the phone so he had forgotten about it.

Looking past you and out into the office, his eyes scanned the empty precinct before he looked back at you, seeing you were clearly lost in thought as you stared into space.

He watched you for another moment before a small smile crossed his face. It would be a shame not to take advantage of this moment. Especially since the two of you were now alone and technically off the clock.

The two of you had given into your shared feelings a few weeks prior. Your professional relationship stayed the same, never showing any signs of a relationship during work.

Lou would be lying if he said he didn't hate how long he had to wait everyday to focus on the non "professional" part of your relationship. And he was fairly certain some people knew about it, but never said anything.

Rising from his desk, Lou casually made his way towards you before leaning on the opposite side of the doorway from you. His eyes scanned the precinct one more time, and he was confident there was no one else around. Even the janitors had gone home already.

His hands sat in his pockets as he watched you for a moment, wondering how long it would take you to leave your own thoughts.

It was only a few moments before you noticed his closer presence. You looked up and met his eyes, seeing a soft smile on his face, you felt your heart jolt lightly.

You couldn't stop the small smile that spread across your own face "What are you smiling at?"

Lou tilted his head slightly as he spoke, his face showing his amusement "For someone who tends to notice every small detail, you sometimes miss big ones."

Confusion showed clearly on your face as you processed his words. Was he talking about the case? Did you miss something obvious? If that was so, why would he be smiling?

"What do you mean?" You voiced with confusion as you turned towards him fully, arms crossed.

Lou smiled as he motioned his head upwards.

As your eyes shot up, you immediately noticed the obvious. A green plant tied with red ribbon, hanging from Lou's doorway. You felt heat rise up your neck as you repressed a smile. How had you not noticed it? How long had it been there?

Looking back into his eyes, you spoke with a mix of mild amusement and bewilderment "Mistletoe?"

"Hastings put it up earlier, as a joke."

"Funny joke." You said with a note of sarcasm. You knew Hastings had a not so secret thing for Lou.

He shrugged as he pushed himself away from the doorway, and stepped closer to you, staring down into your eyes.

"It has it's usefulness."

You tried to repress the grin tempting it's way onto your face as you narrowed your eyes and tilted your chin up "Oh yeah? Like what?"

Stepping a bit closer, he leaned his arm on the door frame above your head, as his face hung just above yours "Like, providing a distraction from the work we're focusing too hard on."

Your lips twitched into a small smile as you saw his eyes flick to your lips briefly.

"And what kind of distraction were you hoping for exa-"

Your sentence was cut short as Lou leaned down, and pressed a kiss to your lips. Without hesitation, you deepened the kiss. As he leaned closer to you, his hand cupped your face, your hand gently reached forward and grabbed onto the collar of his shirt.

Lou's hand moved to the back of your head as he deepened the kiss. A few moments later you broke apart, breathless. You stared into each others eyes for a moment before you smiled.

"My favorite kind of distraction then?"

Lou smiled as he pressed his forehead against yours "I think I saw some more mistletoe in the elevator. You still determined to work the case, or do you want to get out of here?"

You smiled up at him "There's nothing else we can do tonight anyways."

"Exactly." He said softly before pulling away, moving to go grab his jacket.

Looking up at the mistletoe you smiled, before you felt Lou's hand slip into yours as he pulled you along with him and towards the elevators.
