[TOO LATE, BRO. Too late. There is a yelp from somewhere behind him followed by the sounds of a brief scuffle and there is Lenalee, hanging onto a doorway as one of the many vines attempts to drag her down the hall to a prime kissing location.
No no no, not this mistletoe again, Lavi even reminded her about it and oh my god Allen, you suck. Not for any grudge against him, but apparently the vine feels where he's trapped is a prime kissing location.]
[NO. NOOOOOO. This is a terrible kissing location, mistletoe!!!
He slowwwwly turns his head in the direction of that yelp because he just knows who it is and. Yep.]
[PULLING HARDER with a noise of pure frustration. He's lucky it's his left arm that's been caught or he'd be in danger of dislocating it right now. Comeoncomeonletgo...]
[YES. YES, IT IS. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION ITS JUDGEMENT just look at how happy you two are to see each other!
Busy clinging onto the doorframe as tightly as she possible can, here, which.... really puts her at risk of dislocating something, too, but given that her Boots won't do a thing and letting go means she'll most likely bowl him right over, she isn't about to let go.
Or, well. She wasn't about to, but the mistletoe gives an almighty yank, sending her stumbling to keep upright. It would be him.]
[YES he is truly... delighted to see her in this context.
He gives another pull, but as he watches her struggle and stumble in his direction, he must force himself to accept that, in all likelihood, he will not be able to remove his arm from these vines. (Maybe if he tried gnawing his arm off--)] Not this again...
[Though, a hug had been sufficient last time, maybe they'll be lucky again...!]
[He should be delighted to see her in every context.
But in all seriousness, she isn't looking too thrilled herself. Lavi would have a field day with this. She digs her heels in, though that of course accomplished next to nothing, shooting Allen an apologetic and somewhat mortified look just before the plant pulls her straight into the wall next to him.
While she attempts to reorientate herself:] I didn't mean for this to happen!
[She doesn't care so much the obvious reasons why he never put any up. It doesn't show up in the Order, and she's happy.
Waiting... That hadn't worked out so hot for them last time they tried that tactic, and yet before that it had worked with another Allen. The alternative to waiting, however, makes her stomach do a weird and awkward flop, so she nods.] Waiting is a good idea.
[Yes. So repulsive.] I've been- good. Better. I found Brother here a little while ago. [She seems to have this piece of news for him pretty often.] He seems a lot like mine, so secretly... I've been hoping...
[It's the best news.] I didn't ask him. He seemed to be having difficulty adjusting to the situation already. But Brother is Brother, no matter what... so I think he'll feel the same way.

I know!! Neither did I! [And yet, here they are. He rubs his face with his free hand, groaning. December is the worst.]

I'm so glad Brother never put mistletoe up at home... [She gets more than enough of it here.] I'm sorry, it just appeared all of a sudden.

[Hahaha, Komui. Putting up mistletoe. And risking someone actually kissing Lenalee?]
[Yanks on the plant again, half-heartedly.] It's all over the place.
...Maybe it'll let go if we wait.

[And then a moment later he decides to start a conversation to distract himself from this situation.] ...So, uh. How've you been?

Did he think you might be his Lenalee?
