[ IT SURE IS, HE GOT TWO KISSES OUT OF IT ALREADY ]

Thanks! If that's the case, it means I'm doing my job well.

[ unlike... most of the faculty... except for the part where they don't kiss students. ]

[jokered]

[he would gladly take more, it's fun.]

I can't say I've ever thought you were doing a bad job.

[alcobrawlic]

[ someone stop this boy. ]

Really now? You never had a moment of doubt or thought I was crazy or totally unsuitable as a teacher, huh?

[ Because she's definitely heard that before. ]

[jokered]

[he shakes his head.]

Not in the way you'd expect. [only in the sense that he generally doesn't trust adults, totally separate of her own capabilities.]

You always look out for me and the other students, in your own way. Even when it doesn't benefit you... I think that's how a teacher should be.

[alcobrawlic]

... I did tell you someone believed in me, once. She didn't have to. Helping me wasn't going to be doing her any favors.

But because she did, I... kind of wanted to do the same. And when I was offered the chance to do what she did, well.

I thought maybe it'd help someone else, the way it helped me.

[jokered]

Well...

[he pauses, as if trying to find the right words for a moment like this. words aren't always his strong suit, and he definitely wants whatever he says right now to be just right.]

I can say with confidence that it's helped someone else.

[yeah!!]

[alcobrawlic]

[ Poor Akira, you never know which word choice will get you fanged music notes-- ]

Good! Maybe I'll get my Teacher of the Year award yet.

[ She's not even remotely serious, though she is touched. ]

[jokered]

[it's hard to know! sometimes he doesn't get it right at all.]

In a place like Shujin, that might be wishful thinking. [but, you know.] But I'll say you deserve the honor. To me, at least.

[skiouros]

[ Right . . . bad luck. But he gives a mirthful scoff at that. ]

I like that way of thinking. All right—we'll set this aside for now. What else can we work on while we wait?

[ Because what they're supposed to be cutting is sitting on the counter, hard as a rock. ]

[alcobrawlic]

You miiiight be a little biased, but...

Well. I won't tell if you won't.

[scooptimistic]

Hmmmmmm... we could take a lunch break, maybe? Or-- we've got a recipe for no-bake cookies, right?

[ Does he really want to let her at them, though. ]

[spinatalltale]

[WHY INDEED]

[Magilou slides up to her, grasping at her hand and holding it between her own like it's a precious flower]

My beloved! It has been years since I have seen your face! Joy fills my heart like the swelling of the tide. Tell me you feel the same!

[okitactless]

[it's the one who's always asleep

He's got to laugh at that, though.] Aruji! We're always happy to help you.

[HOW SILLY, says the sword who would drop everything, literally and metaphorically, for his master-- ahem. He turns to look at the edge of the rooftop, tapping his lip thoughtfully.]

We have to make sure they don't fall off, right? Is that it? [or are they supposed to "plug it in" somewhere or do something with "remotes" and "wires" HE'S A SIMPLE SWORD OKAY all these high-tech things like electricity are complicated.]

[arseid]

[ Please don't literally drop everything for your master, Yasusada, that's pretty big. But Laura nods and crouches near the edge, looking over it as her ponytail flops over her shoulder to dangle. ]

That's it. For now, we're merely arranging them to hang. The ends should both hook to the edge, so it's just a matter of getting them where we want them.

[sylfied]

Oh.

[ DEADPAN. ]

Long time, no see. I sure missed you.

[jokered]

I'm a little biased, but I don't think it's a secret.

[alcobrawlic]

Really? I thought I was pretty subtle.

[ Okay, Sara. ]

[jokered]

[shrugs.]

Which part of it was subtle?

[chromogenic]

[ Ice skating with Ann? hell yeah

He just needs to play it cool, no pun intended. ]

Annnd you're not gonna laugh at me if I fall?

[ ...wait, that's the opposite of cool ]

N-Not that I will fall! Ha! I'm not gonna fall. Nope, I'm a natural learner... of things! I... I'll learn. I know the gist of it.

[ He spent an entire DLC episode in the snow. ]

[discardia]

I asked everyone for help... or at least, advice. I really wanted to do it right.

[ And from the flustered way he's acting, maybe it means she actually succeeded. Not a whole lot catches Lupin off-guard, but she can't help but feel a sudden surge of quiet pride that she managed to.

And then she spots the flowers, and her face brightens further. ]

You shouldn't feel troubled! These are beautiful, Lupin!

[cakemyheart]

Hey, it's okay. I wasn't exactly Miss Graceful when I did this last time, either. I won't be doing any fancy jumps, that's for sure!

[ Who knows, Prompto might even be better at it. ]

[alcobrawlic]

The part where I defended you like I'd defend any student wrongly accused!

[jokered]

....What part of that was subtle, again?

[spinatalltale]

As did I, my beloved!

[. . . some people are snickering]

And now that we are reunited, we should seal our fortuitous meeting with the most sacred of holiday kisses!

The Mistletoe Mouth Mashup.

[STOP HER]

[alcobrawlic]

All of it!

[ No. ]
