Moments with mistletoe (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Rhys, Martha/James)
James Elton noticed the piece of mistletoe hanging from on a string underneath his desk. He pushed his chair back to get a better look. It confused him as normally mistletoe was hung from the ceiling not from under a work station. Getting down on his hands and knees he crawled under the desk and found that the string was stuck there by masking tape.
“What are you doing under there?” Martha Jones asked, she had crouched down in front of the desk and was looking at James with a puzzled look. James gave her a grin.
“I don’t expect you to kiss me.” He replied which caused more puzzlement until Martha noticed the piece of mistletoe. She smiled back.
“Ah, though it is tradition.” Martha said crawling under the desk to join him. James was going to reply but Martha placed her lips on his, kissing him softly.
“Um, I wasn’t expecting that.” James smiled before softly kissing her back. “Though I don’t know how the mistletoe got here.”
Jack noticed the mistletoe hanging from the doorway of his office as he drank his cup of coffee. It was hanging on a piece of string. It fascinated him because he had no idea how it got there and it also started to give him ideas, very erotic ideas. He thought about whom he was going to end up kissing first though the answer always going to be Ianto. Though James wasn’t a bad choice either or Martha or even Gwen, who strangely wasn’t here yet.
He walked over to the doorway and looked out at the desks outside. He saw James holding a piece of mistletoe in his hand while he was talking to Martha. James seemed to be a bit embarrassed by the redness on his cheek. As Martha went back to her desk, Jack called over to him while leaning on the doorframe.
“Found a piece of mistletoe as well then?” Jack asked with a grin.
“Yes, I see you have some hanging from the doorway.” James replied with a faint smile. “Mine was under the desk.”
“Really? Interesting.” Jack replied before Ianto walked up the stairs.
“Morning sir, I can see mistletoe.” He observed before stopping next to Jack.
“Yes, though I don’t know how it got there.” Jack replied before bending over to kiss Ianto on the lips.
James looked away and smiled.
“So let me get this straight, you put mistletoe around Torchwood, why?” Rhys asked Gwen as they both got ready for work.
“Well I only put it in two places, under James’ desk and the doorway of Jack’s office.” Gwen replied with a grin.
“Still doesn’t answer the question.” Rhys reminded her.
“It’s nearly Christmas and I just wanted to get into the spirit.” Gwen finally replied.
“You wanted people to share a kiss, you mean?” Rhys corrected her with a small smile
“Well James and Martha certainly, they might be friends but sometimes it alright to share one now and again.” Gwen told him, “Though with Jack, he’s bound to kiss anybody.” She added.
Rhys held up a piece of mistletoe. “I noticed that you left a piece here in the flat.”
Gwen smiled. “Yes, a piece just for us.”
Rhys kissed her softly. “I like the sound of that.”
