accidental mistletoe with riku and atlas :3

send me   ‘ mistletoe ’  for my muse’s response to being underneath mistletoe with your muse.  | Selectively accepting.

Holiday celebration was something that he wasn’t used to, admittedly. He hadn’t spent much holidays with Wynter when he was still....still alive. And if he had any holiday traditions before he moved in with the old heartsmith - he didn’t remember them. So when Kairi comes bursting in with holiday decorations for his shop - he is too flustered to stop her.

He takes directions from her on where to place certain objects, he still wasn’t entirely sure what the tree was for but he’s sure it’ll be explained. Maybe. Perhaps he should ask about it. 

At some point Riku joins them, perhaps wanting to save Atlas from dealing with the force of nature that is Kairi’s holiday decorating by himself. The two of them are fairly tall so she tasks them with decorating along the top of the bookshelves and the doorway. Kairi hands him a particularly odd looking plant with a questionable grin, asking him to hang it above the front door. He tilts his head, wondering what she was planning, before taking the decoration. He wasn’t going to deny her if she went through all the trouble to bring everything here and set it (partly) up. 

He turns the small decoration around in his hand as he approaches the door. Riku had been tasked with decorating outside of it so it was wide open. He gave a small greeting to Riku, enough to get his attention, before standing on his tip toes to tack the decoration into place as Kairi had told him. As he comes back down to normal height, pleased with himself at getting the decoration up - he’s greeted face to face with Riku. Who looks as if his entire body is a warm shade of pink. “Are you alright? Is it too cold out there?” Atlas asks, completely oblivious to what they stood under.

Riku stuttered, Kairi giggled, Atlas was confused. “Is there a joke I’m not getting?” He asked, looking back and forth between Kairi and Riku.

It took a moment for Riku to stutter out the explanation (though he was trying really hard, bless him). If two people were caught under a mistletoe, it was tradition for them to kiss. Atlas stared for a moment and the longer he did the more obviously nervous Riku became, saying about how they didn’t have to do it. Riku knew of his aversion to physical contact - unlike Kairi who either didn’t realize or didn’t know the extent of it. So of course he would never make Atlas kiss him and it was sweet.

But perhaps it was the holiday spirit in the air that caused a smile to come across Atlas’s face as he leaned over to give Riku a small kiss. Not long enough for him to even entertain the idea of kissing back, and not even fully on the lips. Just on the corner, enough to show he was trying - at least. 

The kiss left Riku and Kairi both stunned for a moment before Atlas cleared his throat and began cleaning his glasses. “Please close the door Riku I don’t want any of us to get a cold.” Finally snapping out of his daze, Riku was quick to stutter out an apology and slam the door a little too harshly

However he had forgotten to take a step inside the shop. Meaning he had just taken a step out onto the street and slammed the door, leaving him outside and Kairi and Atlas on the inside busting into laughter.  Quickly, Atlas moved to lock the other out and laughed harder when Riku tried to open the door only to find it was locked. “Hey, it-it’s your fault! How rude, sl-slamming the door in my f-face! Did you not like m-my kiss that much!” Kairi laughed louder and he could hear Riku groan on the other side of the door.  

After the laughter dies down, Atlas finally lets Riku back in. Though he’s not expecting Riku to completely catch him off guard with another kiss. It was Atlas’s turn to be completely embarrassed and hide behind the counter.

“I can’t believe you did that.”

“You’re the one that put it in the doorway. And locked me out.”

“I hate you.”

“Do you kiss everyone you hate, or am I just special?” Atlas glared, Riku smirked, and the heartsmith finally gave in, putting a hand over Riku’s for a moment longer than normal. But that was enough, Riku giving it a tight squeeze.

....Atlas thinks he can maybe get used to the holidays.

( starter call | @dawntides​ )

     PERHAPS IT WAS THE OUTFIT, the checkered pattern and the bright, golden buttons. she had looked upon it and had, immediately, discovered that they reminded her of a similar PATTERN on someone else’s clothing. though she had pictured it immediately, it took a moment for her lips to catch up to her brain, and anna spent several moments studying riku before she was able to speak.

     ❛ you know sora, don’t you!? ❜ it was clear she thought she was correct, considering she didn’t even begin to take a moment to EXPLAIN who this sora was or how she knew him, for that matter. ❛ you two are dressed similarly, so i mean, i just assumed... ❜

❝ you can do this on your own. i believe in you. ❞ FOR SHIRO..FINALLY..

 “i don’t... think i can--- i-i seriously....” the replica shook next to riku, his shoulders shrugged & head dipped, form tense. withdrawn. then he moved to hug himself, looking away. “i-i don’t want to, riku.”
