5th Floor Common Room -- Sunday Evening

[intraspective]

She'd managed to forget that there was a party going on until late enough that she'd have felt sort of weird showing up—not to mention 'bout the fact that Ino was a bit weirded out by the idea of showing up at some strange grown-up's place for a party—and so, with her Santa hat perched jauntily on her head, she'd wandered into her common room to make hot chocolate.

It was totally seasonal. And so was the candy cane she was nibbling on. The candy was obviously the best part of this holiday, especially for someone who only had the vaguely concept of what the holiday entailed beyond 'shiny presents'.

But presents? Were pretty awesome too. She leaned against the counter and sipped her hot chocolate idly.

[Because I had to use this icon today, yes! Toootally open common room!]

Comments

[heromaniac]

There was no bouncing in anticipation. Well, not much. Okay, a lot.

"They're not evil; I only use my powers for good! Do I get marshmallows? That's mine, right?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yours?" Jaime asked as he put a huge handful of marshmallows in the mug (enough that they aaaaalmost fell out). "You promised not to use the sparkly eyes on me anymore!" Yeah. Sure she had. "And now you want hot chocolate?"

[heromaniac]

"Yes, please?" Jaime? Meet the sad eyes.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Aaaaah!" Jaime yelled dramatically. "You, Momoko," he mumbled something since he didn't know her last name, "are a horrible and awful person. You always use the eyes on me!"

And they always worked. He held out the mug.

[heromaniac]

"A girl does what she has to!" She broke out in a grin, accepting the mug and taking a sip through the sea of melty marshmallows. "MMMM!! See? I told you I only use my powers for good and this is! It's delicious. Thank you, Jaime!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"All that hard work and all I get is a 'thank you'?" Jaime complained. He even threw in a pout. Except it wasn't nearly as good as Momoko's pout.

[heromaniac]

Actually it was a pretty good pout, but she wasn't going to tell him that. "Thank you very much?" Momoko raised an eyebrow at him and took another sip of the hot chocolate, grinning evilly.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime widened his eyes and tried to make his bottom lip wibble a bit. That was a lot harder to do than he'd thought it would be because he had to fight not to smile, and it was drawing the corners of his mouth upward.

[heromaniac]

"A wibble?!" Momoko gasped. "You've been practicing! Not fair! Totally, totally not fair. You deserve this now, you know!"

She took a quick sip of her chocolate, then jumped up to kiss his cheek, hoping to leave a nice and sticky chocolately smear.

Ha!

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime stopped wibbling because he was staring slackjawed. Did she just...?

AND NOW HIS FACE WAS STICKY!

...

He really probably needed to react to that...

"Hey!" Yeah... Eloquent, Reyes.

[heromaniac]

"Totally deserved it, for the wibble. I win!" Momoko was drinking her chocolate again and trying not to smirk. Just not very hard.

[weldedtomyspine]

"You fight dirty," Jaime accused. But he was grinning in spite of himself.
