Characters: AU!Yuki Judai, OU!Tenjoin Asuka
Where: Between the park and the empty lot
When: Day three of the mistletoe plot
Summary: Hey, Judai and Asuka are under the mistletoe! If you've read GX fanfic, you know this plot...or do you?
Warnings: Nothing that I can think of. (Gasp, AU!Judai isn't a warning for once!)
Asuka had dared to come out of Paj-Ennea for the first time since this mistletoe madness had begun. An errant sprig of the plant, the enchanted version, had cropped up in the apartment the day before, leading to the somewhat happy discovery that any kiss was what was necessary, not one on the lips. Thankfully, her double had been there to take care of that.
This meant that she was bolder about going out now, since she was not going to have to kiss someone she didn't want to, not all the way. A cheek was much better than on the lips. And she made quite certain to keep her PDA with her. If she did get caught and there was no one around, she could send a message to either her double or her brother to request some assistance.
She stopped just on the edge between the park and the empty lot, looking down at the little thread of a stream that vanished somewhere underground right about there. It was rather pretty, and she thought Jim, with his knowledge of geology, would probably be able to explain it in a way that would make it even better.
If Jim had been there. Which, all things considered, she was glad that he wasn't. For one thing, he wouldn't be involved in this war that no duelist except maybe Juudai was capable of fighting. For another...mistletoe was the last thing she wanted around while he was around. Not when she was still confused in a lot of ways about certain degrees of like and precisely who they applied to.
But...it would still have been good to see him again.
Turning thought after thought over in her mind, she kept on staring down at the trickling stream.
