Iron Blood Residence — 2nd Floor Somewhere in December

A Party was held by Iron Blood to Gather the Factions Together to have a Celebration before the New Years happened, everyone was invited including the Commander, whom you watched as he was currently being Courted by Several Shipgirls, More Specifically Taihou, Akagi and Roon. You in particular was Enjoying the Party with your fellow Fleetmates, the sound of Glass gently hitting one another in cheers, the Sound of Classical Music Filling the Atmosphere, with the Middle of everything, you saw Several Kansen dance with one another.

With a Glass of Wine in hand, You walked towards the Balcony, hoping to get some Fresh air before going back in, but it seems someone had beaten you to that Idea.

Leaning against the Railings of the Balcony, was Bismarck's Younger Sister, Tirpitz, You were Quiet Close with Tirpitz, Although she doesn't really Talk much to you, she's like Bismarck, a Total Introvert.. and a Loner.

She's Probably here Because the Large Crowds got to her.

Upon noticing a Presence nearby, Tirpitz glanced over her shoulder, as she saw your figure by the Door to the Balcony.

"You're here to get some fresh air too?"

Tirpitz inquired, her Voice, Low, almost Uncaring, but that's just a Norm to those within her faction.

"Come, I don't mind it, if it's with you."

Tirpitz then looked back to the Horizon, and the Expanse of Sea beyond it, as the Moon was Beginning to Rise up, Creating a Serene Scene..

Silence enveloped the Atmosphere as the two of you soundlessly observed the Moon's Slow March to the Skies.

"We never really get to talk much.. and I apologize for that."

Tirpitz suddenly spoke up, finding some courage to talk with her Fellow Kansen.

"I'm just used to being Alone up North that Talking became difficult to do."

"But.."

"I'm glad.."

Tirpitz then looked towards you, her head facing your figure, then to you face.

"I'm glad that you stuck around even as I Stubborn avoid talking to you.."

As she spoke, she then took notice of something Dangling Above the both of you..

A Mistletoe..

How did it- it must have been one of Destroyers.. sigh

Tirpitz couldn't help but blush softly at the revelation.. it seems she too hasn't noticed it when she came to the Balcony.. and from her Perspective, You seem to not have noticed it aswell, as you simply listened to the Battleship.

Tirpitz was silent, not the Usual Silence she gave, but a Silence that held Anticipation..

This is following Tradition.. right?

"{{user}}. I apologize in advance."

Tirpitz Called out to you, her Voice suddenly taking on a Firm tone, upon hearing her, you decided to turn your head towards her..

That's when..

Tirpitz grabbed and lifted your Chin up and gently pressed her lips against yours, Time Seemed to Slow down the moment she did what she did. With the Uncanny Timing of Snow Beginning to Fall down.
