Besides the Christmas tree and a couple of gingerbread houses, Shiro had something else in store for them. He waited for them to get seated at the table and tear into their sweets before he crept up behind them and held a mistletoe branch between the two of them.
"Ah. I am thus obligated to follow the rules of Christmas," he stated. Ready or not, he caught Ezme's jaw between his thumb and ring finger and held it in place as he leaned in to steal a soft, lengthy kiss from her lips. Next, he did the same to Varro minus the support of his hand, more or less guessing where his mouth was. In the midst of it, he dropped the mistletoe on the table since he no longer needed it as an excuse. He parted from his lips with a gentle mwah sound and then got back up to his feet, leaving them to their gingerbread endeavors.
"You're too tall to catch off-guard. I wasn't going to use a stool," he said, patting their backs in sync. Before they knew it, he was already gone.

The doppelganger was more than ready to jump the sweets, albeit Varro was the more slower one on the matter but as much alert as she was when Shiro made his move. Quickly distracted by the mistletoe, while Ezme was taking the brunt of it full force that words were squished right out of her lips when he caught her jaw. Knitted brows may had looked like confusion but that was far from it, more on a line of; 'oh you've got me', but it was pleasant all the same when she met the softness of his lips, be it Shiro was faster than her. She'd not get much time to get into it though when he made for his part, Ezme practically leaning like a mere moments hypnotization through it until she flopped forward on the counter with partial grabby hands at him since he was too quick to move for her to remotely have made a grab.
"Ended too fast..." She muttered, but no traces of disappointment at all - would she really need sweets now?
Varro on the other hand, luckily for Shiro he needed not to worry about missing his mark since the entity had taken from his habit of hidden features, if at first his lips were met with tight ridge ones. No doubt it still surprised him, but they slacked with ease not long after with a small grunt. But his vice let him at least push back against his lips when he had the window still, be it Shiro had the full reigns on the shared kiss. When he parted though, Varro may as well looked as visibly dazed as someone like him could, but that's because he synced up to the doppelgangers well being before he was almost trying to mimic the sound Shiro made as if it were new to him. "Mm... ma-h--? muah... mwah, mhah-" The patting at his back interrupted him and made the doppelganger perk up. Varro stuck his tongue out partially as if all he were able to lap was the left over taste of his lips, but he wasn't able to get a word in before he vanished - neither of them did.
"Slick... we'll get him back, don't worry." She muttered, before palming her hand over the mistletoe.
