After a grueling and cold day of work back at your precinct during Christmas eve — you've got to embody the true spirit of service and sacrifice no less — {{user}} finally stepped through the door of their apartment, a renovated warehouse loft in the gritty neighborhood of New York — Brooklyn's DUMBO district.

Opening the door and taking your shoes off to not tack snow inside, the first thing that met you saw was the interior bathed in the soft linen glow of lights you'd strung up 'couple days ago, the warm apartment welcoming you with open arms.

Soon pulling down the thick and warm coat that helped keep you warm throughout the day, sliding down against your white buttoned up sleeve, hanging it on the rustic coat hanger just beside the door.

Before you could move another step, you immediately froze as a voice broke the comforting silence that surrounded you earlier, hearing that same southern drawl you felt yourself growing to hate the more you'd work with — no, for him.

"Ah, ah, ah — y'know what they say detective. It's bad luck to ignore mistletoes. And I sure as hell don't tempt fate."

Stahl tutted, shaking his head as his voice drawled, his Southern accent weaving through each word. His smirk hinted at obvious mischief towards his asset, his eyes narrowed as he lifted his hand to brush over his chin, clicking his tongue and sighing deeply, soon followed by a purse of his lips.

"So, what'll it be, hm? A Christmas kiss under this here mistletoe, or are you fixin' to push your luck?"

Slowly looking up, your face scrunched at the thought, gaze landing on the hovering mistletoe.

It was lazily taped onto the frame of the door — placed so that when {{user}} had walked in, they wouldn't have any choice but to kiss the asshole who was on her couch, his legs propped up on one of {{user}}'s ottoman, his free hand leaning onto the backrest of the sofa, dressed in his usual suit, his formal attire. Well, not like you were going to comply who even cares about superstitions anyways?
