//009// /action/ Taken!

[Even though he'd been removing random mistletoe bushes all morning, it seemed like every time he turned around more appeared. He'd already been forced to give a few patrons kisses on the cheek and was in a permanent state of semi-blush as customers alternately joked and fought over the curse. Some people were walking away happy, at least ( Read more... )

as you like it, my bf is going to kill me, curse: mistletoe, cute blond & gay, fools rush in, chaste, working

[It was probably customary for most City-folk to stay inside for a curse day, but staying home meant running the risk of kissing Kate, or even Tommy. And between those two choices, it was probably safer to slog it out outside.

Of course, wandering around in the cold was far from Billy's idea of fun, and the Turnabout was the most logical place to go. Coffee? Teddy? Why not?]

[Teddy was getting good at looking up while carrying trays of empty dishes, dodging sideways when necessary to avoid a bunch of innocuous leaves. The bell over the door wasn't ringing quite as much any more as the lunch groups filtered out for the day. The kiss count was up to 3, two girls and a guy, all as chaste as possible. With any luck that would be it for the day, unless he could wrangle a few with Billy...]

[The bell rings once more as Billy pops in, slightly tentative at first, since really, he didn't know anyone else at the cafe besides Teddy. Luckily enough, he's easy to spot, and Billy makes a beeline for him.]

Do you guys brew Starbucks?

[It's a joke, of course. As if any coffee connoisseur would brew Starbucks willingly.]

Hey!

[A little bit surprised, but definitely pleased to see Billy here.]

Don't say that too loud, my bosses might order me to have you killed.

[He's walking about, thankfully avoiding the mistletoe for the most part, but is stopped when his cane hits a building. Fantastic. It is getting a little cold, maybe he'd wait inside for a few minutes and warm up. He feels around for the door and then walks in.]

[The bell over the door jangles and Teddy looks up automatically from behind the counter to spot a familiar face. Unsure that Kay will be able to navigate the crowded shop, he steps out to give him a hand if he needs it.]

Kay, hey, it's Teddy. Welcome to the Turnabout Cafe.

[Just touching him lightly on the arm.]

There's an empty table just here...

[Honestly, he didn't even know he was in a cafe at all, let alone that Teddy would be there, but he goes along with it.]

A mistletoe-free table, I assume?

Well, I can't really make any promises. They tend to show up when you least expect them.

[But it is, for now. Guiding him into the chair and taking a moment to just make sure.]

Would you like anything to drink? We offer many specialty blends of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.

[ooc: going off to bed, but tag you back in the morning~ for the record, d'you want mistletoe or no? 8D]
