Summary: Mistletoe means kisses…
Author notes: This was written for the
Arthur & Gwen Christmas Fest I’m running at
m-in-wonderland! Prompt was: "Mistletoe means kisses (from
rainbow-connec)
*~*
"Arthur, you sure about this?" Merlin asks a little concerned whilst struggling on the ladder trying to place the the mistletoe on the front porch.
"Why ever not? I think its the perfect idea!" Arthur retorts like Merlin should ever question him and his plans. Okay some of them may not have been the best ideas, but this one was definitely a good one! He was sure of it.
"Yes... but what if its not the person you want to kiss," Merlin puts extra emphases on the word 'kiss'. Everyone -or almost everyone- was aware of Arthur's growing feelings for Gwen, except for Gwen it seemed.
Arthur misses it though, leaving Merlin to spell it out "and by person I mean Gwen."
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Arthur cheeks begin to turn slight pink, blushing.
"Whatever you say!" Merlin finished the final touches and then says rather pleased with himself "I've finished here. I'm going to go inside and help Morgana with the gingerbread cookies and you can stay out here in the cold and wait until Gwen arrives. And I hope that it's Gwen and not someone else, like Gwaine! Because that would be terrible!" Merlin laughs and Arthur slaps him on the shoulder.

Twenty minutes later and Arthur hates to admit it but maybe standing under the mistletoe wasn't the best idea. Especially when he had to kiss Gwaine, Leon and Percival. And when Arthur says kiss, he means he kissed them on the cheek.
They all got massive enjoyment teasing Arthur knowing full well who Arthur was waiting for.
Finally the person Arthur was waiting appears on the porch.
Gwen was beautiful, even in a nice silk red blouse and , which she was in now, she always managed to look stunning. Arthur couldn't help it, his mouth hanging a little open as he stared at her.
"Hi Arthur," Gwen says a little shyly. Gwen swears that she can feel her heart beating like a drum. Arthur always makes her feel like this whenever he stares at her, hell whenever they are in the same room as each other.
Arthur manages to find the courage and points to the mistletoe hanging above them.
"So the rules of the mistletoe dictates that we must kiss," Arthur says rather seductively and a little cocky.
"Well rules are rules," Gwen responds equally aroused and Gwen grabs Arthur's tie, pulling him closer before she steps on her tip toes and her lips crash upon his.
And Arthur thinks that maybe this was the best idea after all!
