prompt: eggnog #15: a feast
summary: house rules: you have to kiss someone if you end up under the mistletoe together! hijinks ensue. (Glory+Kristopher)
notes: the twelfth of twenty five kisses under the mistletoe at a Christmas party Nikos is hosting
"When you three are done acting like such flagrant sinners, I need that table space," said Nikos.
Mariel jumped away, blushing furiously. Aya's laugh tinkled like silver bells, and even Tristan had to smile at his wife's shy demeanor. He nudged Aya off of his lap and stood unsteadily, leaning heavily on his cane and Mariel's outstretched arm. Where his elbow had rested, Nikos set down a hot baking pan full of toasty rolls. When Koji reached out to take one, Nikos swatted at him with the spatula.
"Take a plate," he said, gesturing to the unsteady pile stacked up by the sink. "There's not enough space to eat in here. Take what you want and we'll sit in the dining room like civilized people."
Mariel huffed, but she took a plate after passing one over to Tristan and Aya and Kristopher. "Go ahead," she added to the little boy, but he shook his head and insisted on ladies first.
"Such good manners," said Tristan. Dryly, he added, "I wonder where he gets it?"
"Certainly not from his cousins," muttered Glory, but he let Kristopher go up alone and help himself to a heaping pile of ham and rolls and cranberry sauce.
"Pie now or later?" Kristopher asked Nikos, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet and regarding the collection of different pies with surprising intensity and almost scholarly interest.
"Later," said Nikos. "Go find a seat, Kristopher."
"Thanks, Mr. Vallas." Kristopher, plate in hand, squeezed past his father into the hallway leading to the den. As he passed under the mistletoe, he paused politely to wait for Glory to place a quick kiss on the top of his head before making his precarious way to the sofa to start eating.
