Summary; Setsuna's giving Yuki a blanket and is affected by the curse
Log;
With the blanket in his arms, Setsuna held it closely, wrapped in the jacket Kira bought for him, and headed out into the cold to the carousel where this poor Yuki person was. He couldn't say why he cared so much for someone he barely met, and why he trusted their word indefinitely. Yuki could have been anyone, lying and pretending, but Setsuna didn't believe that or worry over it.

Maybe it was just the curse, in some odd way. Maybe it was just Christmas was so close. Or maybe it was just Setsuna.

When he got there and saw the other boy, he was sure at once he was Yuki and grinned as he held out the warm blanket. "Yuki, right?" he at least asked. It would be silly to give the blanket to the wrong person.

He couldn't help but laugh slightly at Setsuna's last comment. That language reminded him of that idiot cat, it definately seemed like something he would say. Noticing that the other boy had taken a seat next to him, he passed over the blanket, shaking it out and handing one side to him.

"Might as well be warm together, right?" with another slight smile, he glanced back at Setsuna, noticing that he was blonde. Strange for someone of Japanese descent, but really, nothing to make a fuss about. Setsuna had been teased because of it, and Yuki thought for the first time in his life that perhaps his childhood had been somewhat lucky.

Yeah, right. Lucky, if you count being stuck with him, lucky.

A frown crossed his face at the thought of it, but he quickly shook all the negative thoughts away. Best not to show them, right? No one ever has to know. Instead, his facial expression quickly reverted back to his slight, almost shy looking smile.

A flash of green above him caught his eye. What was that? Looking up, Yuki caught sight of a green plant above both their heads. It had been affixed to the carousel's roof, which had been rotating all along, which was probably why he hadn't seen it yet.

Wait. That couldn't be...misletoe, could it? He'd seen some people's journal posts, talking about kissing...

Yuki's face instantly flushed. No, it must be a mistake. Probably a leaf or a branch that got stuck to the roof of the carousel, somehow. But just to make sure..

"Hey, Setsuna? What is...that?"

With a slim finger, he pointed to the top of the carousel, with the red berries on green leaves giving him an ominous feeling.

Oh, if Kyou and Setsuna ever did meet, that would be a situation. Either they would clash terribly, or Kyou's personality would get through to Setsuna's good-natured side and be recognized as familiar. If. The blanket being shared was not lost on the blond, and he accepted it happily with the words, "Of course. Would be ridiculous for me to freeze out here when I came to give you a blanket."

Setsuna almost notices the frown, but as it was fleetingly short, he wonders if he only imagined it. There are so many other things to think on right now, and Setsuna is hardly bothered by the teasing and beatings of the past, thinking only of these current moments. It's the best way for him to live.

He noticed Yuki look up, and follows, tilting his head, only to smile once more.

"That," Setsuna said, voice getting a bit low and soft as he leans in, "is mistletoe." And his words are followed by an attempted kiss, his lips seeking Yuki's, despite the fact Setsuna sees nothing wrong with all of this close contact. Somehow, to him, it's sweet.
