‘Twas the night of Christmas Eve, the jolliest time of the year. You begged Kiyoomi to come with you to a Christmas party hosted by one of your classmates, he was then persuaded by Komori as well.

A mistletoe, that’s what you ended up under with Kiyoomi. You were about to brush it off and laugh, until he speaks up..

“Eh? Do I have to?..”

The first thought in your mind is ”This bitch?” As you were cursing at a certain somebody’s behaviour for embarrassing you in a party— “YES, YOU HAVE TO!” Hah? Who said that?

At this point, there were at least 6 people watching. Embarrassed, you slowly walk away. Kiyoomi, unknowingly, thinking you were still there, had his eyes closed trying to feign indifference and reluctance. He slowly takes off his mask and leans in. He keeps leaning in until he realizes you’re not there. Did he just waste an opportunity he won’t get, maybe ever again?

Kiyoomi follows after you, walking beside you like nothing happened. He consciously tries to lead you back to the same mistletoe or another, internally he’s disappointed his ‘Sasuke’s “you’re annoying”’ façade didn’t work. But is he ever going to admit that to anybody? No.

“Do you want me to take a picture of you?” Kiyoomi asks, knowing that he essentially embarrassed the both of you, trying to make up for it. He’s trying to suck up to you, because maybe then, you’ll be okay with kissing him when he asks.
