[With the coming of December, comes the coming of different things for the Nexus. One new thing you can find atop random doors is mistletoe-]


[-and it's only when you're nearby does a counter of KISSES (0/1) appear above your head. Nothing happens if you ignore it and nothing happens if you obey it. Do you indulge?]

[Really? Mistletoe? Was this someone's idea of a joke? Liquid scoffed and looked up at the plant with a curiosity.]

[ginger_firebird]

[He's perplexed as well, but there must be something to the whole mistletoe thing.]

It's a weed. Why do people like it to much?

[liquid_serpent]

I think it's to do with people trying to find a date at Christmas. It's a cheap way to go about it but still.

[ginger_firebird]

And we have those...counters? This thing can't be serious.

[liquid_serpent]

It would seem so. I believe that the counter rises with the amount of people you kiss. [Afraid of kissing, Mantis? Liquid isn't afraid to kiss you. He likes you, dude.]

[ginger_firebird]

[It's less the kissing people thing and more the seemingly having no choice in the matter. That door locked behind him on the way in. He checked.]

It only needs one... [And it is Liquid. He can live with locking lips with him to satisfy some kind of counter.] Do you think it matters where?

[liquid_serpent]

Is that so? [Liquid's posh tones echoed through the room as he took a few more steps towards Mantis, wrapping both arms around his lithe body.]

Let's give that counter a test, hm?

[ginger_firebird]

[A loud gasp comes unbidden at the sudden physical contact. You could get used to being in arms like this, but Mantis was always slightly on edge. His hands were resting neatly across Liquid's pectorals.]

A quick one. [Enough to get an idea of what the counter wanted at least. Headaches were a real possibility when the mask came off for any reason.] Ready when you are.

[liquid_serpent]

I'll try to be quick for your sakes. [He knows about your headaches and that's the last thing he wants you to have right now. This will be a special moment for the both of them.

Liquid leaned in and pressed both his lips to the other man's, deepening the kiss, tasting him. It felt amazing and he didn't want it to stop.]

[ginger_firebird]

[If he had caught that thought before it finished, he'd have been damn flattered a the sentiment.

Mantis' body was rigid as he tried to focus his telepathy onto Liquid. To dig into his thoughts and find whatever he could that would cut out anyone else in the room. Liquid always had better social skills and dominated the kiss easily, but Mantis still had his own ways of assuring Liquid that all was well. He wrapped his long arms around the other man's body and set his nails lightly on the skin. Anything digging in hard, and that'd be Liquid's sign to stop.]

these two are getting it on XD

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid dominated Mantis's mouth with his own but not forcefully. He applied just enough pressure to make the kiss pleasurable for them both. He wanted more. He always wanted more. But now wasn't the time. He allowed his hand to rest at the back of Mantis's head, as he playfully nibbled on his friend's lower lip.]

They've totally made out before. Even if just a little.

[ginger_firebird]

[He could feel a rush of blood going towards his head as they kept it up. Always indulgent Liquid didn't settle for simple chaste things very often. It suited Mantis just fine for the purposes of this little experiment. A more intense kiss gave him a whole plethora of sensations to help drown out other thoughts.

Ever so slowly, Mantis slid one hand lower towards that perfect specimen of an ass. It was a matter of aesthetics that even he couldn't deny.]

Re: of course they have ^-^ we may have to move it if they keep this up...

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid felt the hand on his arse and smiled at that. Naughty. He wasn't expecting Mantis to be so forward this time and he was loving every second of it. Two could play at that game.

Liquid kissed along Mantis's jaw and then found his ear, nibbling softly on his earlobe.]

Mantis has tons of integrity. He keeps it together. Mostly.

[ginger_firebird]

[It's just his ass, really. If he was in the mood for the other end, he'd have long dragged Liquid to somewhere far more private.

Besides, the freedom of Liquid going for his ear gave him a chance to see that the counter had somehow not changed. Son of a-]

Didn't...work. [His eyes sort of flutter shut as he returns his attention to Liquid's mouth. Much as he hated to admit it, he was grateful to whomever taught him to be so skillful.] Another way, I think.

Re: Unlike Liquid X

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid liked the feel of Mantis's hand over his ass.]

Mm....what other way? [The blond pressed a few soft kisses to his lover's jawline and hummed in approval. In other words what else because he was enjoying this far too much.]

Liquid will learn, dammit.

[ginger_firebird]

Hold still.

[He's frowning as he pins Liquid's head between his hands. A thumb idly brushed against Liquid's cheek before he tried kissing his brow, the corners of his eyes. Any part of the face that could be considered appropriate for the caress of a pair of lips.]

Re: Yes, he will, naughty boy :P

[liquid_serpent]

[It was odd to hear Mantis giving Liquid orders but he did as his friend ordered. If it were anyone else Liquid would have laughed at them and probably given them a punch in the face for being so disobedient.

The kissing felt good. The stimulation he was getting from the other man's tongue was amazing. He sighed and closed his eyes.]

He deserves it. :V

[ginger_firebird]

[Well, there was always psychic force if Liquid decided to get a little uppity about the whole thing. As much as he liked short passes of approval going through Liquid's head, it still wasn't changing that damn counter, and now he really needed the mask back. He took it without asking for it and slipped it on. Several deep breaths passed before he spoke again.]

I'm out of ideas.

Re: Yeah he does ^-^

[liquid_serpent]

[Liquid felt the closeness move away from him as he watched Mantis place his mask back over his head. Had he pushed too far? Yet, his friend had warned him that he didn't really cope without his mask for too long.]

Mantis? Are you alright? [Liquid placed a hand on his shoulder. Had he pushed too far with his lust and desire?]

[ginger_firebird]

[He's still got his hands lingering on Liquid, now around his shoulders, as he gets his mind clear. Just a little too long that time. It wasn't even all that bad.]

It got a little too noisy. I needed the quiet again. [He smiled and leaned his head over to the hand on his own shoulder.] You did nothing wrong. That felt...nice.

[liquid_serpent]

[You can leave those fingers there all you like, Mantis.]

Of course. Forgive me if I got a little.....excited. [That's one word you could use, Liquid. You naughty boy.] It did feel nice and I'd like to do it again sometime.

[ginger_firebird]

[Good for both of them, then. Mantis didn't intend to remove his hands quickly.]

You like trying to suffocate me with your mouth. [Let him rephrase that for you, oh illustrious leader.] Another time, then.

[liquid_serpent]

Is that what you call it? [Liquid chuckled softly and ran his hand behind Mantis's neck and kept it there.]

[ginger_firebird]

Come up with a better term and I will let you use it instead. [He liked that laugh. He liked many things about Liquid. The hand at the back of his neck sent a shiver down his spine.]

I think we've been tricked by this room.

[liquid_serpent]

Hm, perhaps assisting you with a tongue massage? [Pffft. Yeah right.]

Oh? How so?

[ginger_firebird]

[He's scowling at you right now, not that you can really see it.]

We've attempted several varieties of kisses, and the counters didn't change. It's a trick room, whatever it is.

[liquid_serpent]

Indeed, we have. It seems this room wants to get the better of us, but we won't let that happen.

[ginger_firebird]

Busting down the door, then. [The little bit of mistletoe above them suddenly caught fire. Oh dear.] If all this room really wanted was to get people to make out with each other, I could have done that with you somewhere else.

[subcommander_kaz]

[Anyone up for kissing this dude? He's a huge flirt.]

Ooh mistletoe....anyone up for a kiss?

[youre_pretty_terrible]

Ocelot hid behind the door way waiting for his prey to walk unknowingly under the mistletoe He was ready to ambush them the second he sensed them near. He didn't care who it was, He did have some 'preferences' though..

[cardboard_boss]

[Boss walked underneath the plant and grunted, as he spotted the familiar shape.]

Mistletoe, huh?

[youre_pretty_terrible]

Ocelot Pounced at his prey and rammed his tongue into theirs. as he pulled away it took him a couple of seconds to process exactly who he'd just kissed.

"J-.. John!?"

It was indeed, John. He was older now, Scars covered his face and his hair had grayed.

"You got old...huh."

[cardboard_boss]

[--what the hell? He was being kissed? By who and why? He grunted in annoyance at the ambush and then managed to break off the kiss and CQC his opponent. He grabbed the infiltrator around the neck and placed his other at the man's throat.]

Who are you? How do you know my name? [He isn't the Boss that you once knew Ocelot. Things had changed somewhat.]

[youre_pretty_terrible]

[If only the Major knew.] "Oh come on, don't tell me you forgot about me. I mean, I can tell it's been a few years but I have to say I'm a little offended."

Ocelot stayed very still. He knew that it would take him years just to get close to the level of CQC mastery as Big Boss. He put his hands up, showing they were empty. Adam posed and winked at him.

[cardboard_boss]

Forgot about you? Never. [Ocelot. Why, don't you look young.]

I didn't know you liked me that way, Ocelot. [Liar.]

[youre_pretty_terrible]

"PFFFFT. Like you? Not a chance."

Ocelot looked a little flustered, He turned his head in a small attempt to hide the red on his Russian cheeks.

"You seem to like me though, seeing as your still on top of me. Is that another knife in your pants? or are you just happy to see me?"

[cardboard_boss]

[Oh, come on, Ocelot. Boss knows you like him, so drop the act. He's still holding you in the CQC position though.]

Yeah, I do have a knife in my pocket. Got a problem with that? [He smirked at the young Russian's position he was in. Boss remembered how young and awkward the Russian was before he grew into the man he knew today.]

This room....doesn't look like we can leave until we kiss or something.

[youre_pretty_terrible]

"Damn, I was Hoping the latter is all."

Ocelot squirmed in Johns arms. It wasn't often that people were stronger or faster or more intelligent or... hot. though, he found Big Boss surpassing him in almost all of that. He didn't quite like this whole being dominated thing. [well, not yet at least.] It made him a bit uncomfortable.

"You could finish choking on my tongue if you'd like."

[cardboard_boss]

I'd rather not choke on anything. [He released Ocelot and wondered what the cat was thinking. Was he actually coming onto Boss? It seemed that way. Was he always so flirty? Boss could remember him at Tselinoyarsk.]

You want to make out with me?

[youre_pretty_terrible]

"Do you?"
Did Ocelot? Of course. How humiliating. If John wanted him to admit to Loving him He'd have another thing coming. He'd have to win at something. He hated this. he hated not being in control. not being able to come out on top. and this Older Ocelot... did he..? confess?

"I just wanna know what happens when these counters go up."

He pointed above his head where it was displayed. did stuff like this always happen in the Nexus?

[cardboard_boss]

I have no idea. [Because he didn't. Who the hell invented such a thing anyway?]

[youre_pretty_terrible]

"you... don't know if you want my tongue in your mouth. Well, that's a first. I'll have to say I'm mildly offended. At least I'm making you question. You gonna let go of me now? I think the only threat you'll have from my is towards that belt buckle, Snake."

The look on Adamska's face was meant to challenge him. would he step up?

[cardboard_boss]

No, I mean I have no idea why the mistletoe is there and why there is a counter. Probably someone's idea of a joke. [Yeah, that was it.

Snake studied Ocelot for a moment before, CQC'ing him to the ground. There. Happy now, Ocelot? You've been owned by the Boss.]

[youre_pretty_terrible]

Ocelot yelped as he was suddenly thrown headfirst into the ground. goddamnit.

"Fine. I'll take that as a no and we'll be stuck here for eternity because you're a stubborn american dog."

That was not at all the challenge he had issued. His flirtatious plan had failed again because Naked snake cannot or does not want to understand what let me shove my tongue in your mouth means.

He huffed.

[ginger_firebird]

[Mistletoe. A cheap attempt at making people act more affectionate in the winter season. He scowled up at the offending plant.]
