Who: Belgium & Spain
When: December 24th/Christmas Eve
Where: Their house
What: Decorating their home when they come across a mischievous little plant that somehow ended up appearing.
Warnings: Nothing really? Mostly just... possible love mishaps?

Getting into the spirit of Christmas wasn't particularly hard when the holiday was coming up soon. She hadn't particularly enjoyed the spirits of Christmas and how they played with them by showing awful things. At the very least, she could make things a little better by decorating the place and making it look better. Besides, decorating for Christmas was always pretty fun. It was even better when you could do it with somebody close to you rather than be all alone for it.

Back home she'd decorate and she celebrate with her two brothers at her place. Luxembourg preferred to go to her place for Christmas and Holland's place was no where near celebration ready. Having her brothers over for Christmas meant, she'd often decorate her home, cook/bake, and clean the house. Aside from that, she really didn't have it for anyone else unless people came to visit. It was a nice change to share a place with someone.

She finished putting the lights on the tree and around the house and went to look for more things to put up or decorate. Decorating was a lot of work and really should have been done days ago, but there was more things on her mind than to finish decorating. With these visits and people from her world disappearing, she found it hard to really take the time to do it. It was a nice way to clear her mind once she got to it.

"Hey, Spain. How are you doing with the lights?" she called out to him, grabbing a box of ornaments and other miscellaneous items.

Spain loves the holidays. They're a time of festivity and cheer and those are really two of his favorite things. Spending time away from home at this time of year is specially hard, but it's easier knowing that he can have someone like Belgium with him. It makes the homesickness lessen and helps him still look on the positive side.

Her finding the lights and other decorations were helpful in distracting them from how it seems that everyone they know is going back home. She gave him a set of lights and told him to set them out, but somehow or another, he managed to get himself tangled within them. Spain tries to free himself, but it's really no use. He gives Belgium a sheepish grin and says "Boss could use a hand here..."

Belgium set the box of ornaments down carefully at his comment. She walked into the room to see him tangled up. She just stood there for a moment to take in the scene. She couldn't help but to start laughing.

"How did you manage to get yourself tangled up in the lights?" she asked him with a smile.

Not waiting for a response, she walked over to him to try to untangle him.

"I'm not exactly sure."

Spain lets out an embarrassed laugh, doing what he can to help Belgium untangle him. Mostly just standing there and moving when she directs him to movie.

She just smiled in return as she worked on untangling him. A few minutes later, she managed to free him from the Christmas lights.

"There we go. Would you like some help this time?" she asked him.

"It'll be helpful! But if you still have stuff to do, go ahead and do it," Spain says as he wraps up the lights, just so he doesn't find himself tangled in the cord once more.

She shook her head lightly, "I don't mind. I was done with what I was doing anyway."

She took some of the lights and started to help him out. It was a few minutes before she spoke again, pausing with the lights.

"I'm sure that everyone will be okay. It's probably best that they went home," she said softy. "I'm still here for you," she added.

She figured that he probably took everyone's departures worse than she did. She just wanted to let him know that she was there for him.

"Hmm, yeah, it's probably for the best that they're not here anymore..."

Spain had been missing his friends terribly. He knows how horrible it is to be alone, but it is Belgium's additional comment that makes the ever present smile on his face a bit more real.

"Yeah, you are."

They may have not always been together, with her leaving with her brother and then becoming independent in her right, he knows that they'll still be there for each other in some way.

It had been a while since they'd seen each other back at home. Sure she'd gone to visit Spain and Romano ever so often, but they didn't spend as much time together as they used to; Not like how she could here. She finished her lights and walked over to him. Taking his hands into hers, she looked up to him.

"Everything is going to be okay. It's possible for them to come back again, right? So maybe they'll come back sometime soon. Hell, Romano might even come here and then we could all be together again just like the good old days," she said with a small smile.

Looking up for a moment, she did a double-take. Flushing lightly, "Uhm... Did you put that up?" she asked lightly.

Right above them just so happened to be a mistletoe. Well, that's interesting and while it was part of Christmas tradition to put them up, she couldn't help but blush to the thought of it.

"Or maybe we can even go home, all together! Both would be just as good," he says back to her, giving her hands a slight squeeze.

Her question causes him to raise an eyebrow in confusion. "Huh, put what up?" he says as he looks up. He catches sight of the mistletoe, but he doesn't catch on all that fast. "Oh? The mistletoe? I think it was in the decorations you gave me."

She smiled to his comment and nodded, "Exactly!"

Her cheeks flushed a little more. She didn't remember getting a mistletoe, but with the two of them under it now... It was tradition to kiss if you were under one... She really couldn't say that she didn't want to. Really. She had that stupid childhood crush on Spain that she'd been trying not to ruin what they had.

"I guess... tradition is tradition right?" she asked sheepishly before standing up on her tippy toes and planting a soft kiss on his lips. With cheeks warming up, she just hoped that he wouldn't think bad of her or worse, reject her. She was sure he probably wouldn't reject her, but there was still that fear.

There was a light blush on his cheeks. Sure, he has known Belgium for centuries, they may have kissed a few times during their friendship, but that still doesn't mean that the thought of kissing her once more makes him feel... strangely happy. His heart beats a bit faster and he thinks its from just putting up decorations.

"Yeah, tradition is tradition."

With that, he leans down to kiss her back, a hand on her shoulder just to maintain some sort of contact... For... safety reasons, of course, should one of them lose their balance, it'll be easier to catch them before they fall this way.

Belgium's cheeks flushed a bright red when the kiss was done. At least he didn't push her away or something like that. Maybe that meant that it was okay? Suddenly getting flustered, she looked around the room.

"The... decorations... They looks.... nice so far...," she started. "You should be okay to do the rest of them in here. I'll go.. work in another room," she said flustered.

It seemed silly, but she felt like she should give some space. Part of her wanted to stay and continue, but she didn't want to do something to confuse their friendship; although, she'd always been crazy for Spain.

"Right! Yes! I'll do that!" Spain nods energetically, grabbing decorations and getting back to work. There's a funny feeling inside him and he's not exactly sure what's the cause of it. He decides that he'll just think about it later and instead get back to work.

Having nothing else to do, Belgium wasn't sure what her next move should be. She'd already put everything up that she needed. Now that the whole mistletoe thing happened, it made things kind of weird. Not that it was a bad weird by any means. She just took a seat on the couch.
