Chrystal looked up at the ceiling when she walked in. She knew he would go nuts but she didn’t think it would be this nuts. Above her head, there was mistletoe everywhere. She was glad they were fake, but still was annoyed by them. Shane on the other hand just wonder why so many of them.

“Why?” He asked as they just looked up.

“It’s Ica, he goes nuts every year.” Chrystal answered.

“When we become leader, we’re not gonna go nuts, are we?”

“No, I think just put a few up, not the entire box.”

The two just stood there for another five minutes before Hayner walked up. He looked up and shook his head.

“Should we take a few of these down?” He asked the two.

“Yeah, we should before everyone is stuck in an endless loop of kissing.” Chrystal said as she levitated up to pull a few down.

“How many rooms did he put these in?” Shane asked as he grabbed the box that was left out.

“Oh let’s just say that if he had his way, there would be some in the bathrooms.” Hayner answered as he floated up to help his friend.

“And that’s just the ground floor.” Chrystal added.

Shane just looked at them as the fake plat came falling down. He knew that Icarus would go nuts at times, heard stories about it but this was the first time he got to see it for himself. He was impressed with it all but still he went nuts with the mistletoe. When the two were finished with one room, they moved on to the next, and the next until finally the ground floor only had one in the entrance hallway, one by the bookshelves and one in the bar entryway. They walked up to the next level, where members of the guild who went on missions all the time would sleep, finding that there were more but being taken down slowly by Samara and Lawrence.

“He went nuts again.” Was all she said as she took down the plant from the ceiling.

“How many more are there?” Chrystal asked.

“We got this floor covered, Anthony and Spencer got the other two covered.” Lawrence answered.

“Fun.” Hayner sighed. “I’m gonna take the already full boxes and use the plants as kindle for the fire.”

“Yes, let’s kill everyone with toxic fumes from fake plants.” Chrystal joked.

Samara laughed as they finished up with gathering the mistletoe, leaving a few up. The two came down and handed the box to Chrystal and Shane, asking the two to go down to the basement and hide them from Icarus. The two agreed and walked away. Shane noticed that a few guild members who were together kissing and having makeout sessions under the few left up on the ground floor. When they got to the basement and started to put a few away, he held up one.

“No one knows we’re together yet.” Shane said.

Chrystal smiled and pulled him down so she could kiss him. “When should we tell them?” She asked him.

“After christmas, maybe. I don’t want your family going after me, after all you have like a handful of older siblings in your guild.” Shane said, wrapping an arm around her.

“Our guild. You’re a member too. You’re apart of this family too.”

Shane smiled and kissed her once more. They would tell everyone one day, not now but possibly soon. They couldn’t hide it for long, they couldn’t sneak around forever, not with all the mistletoe around begging for people to kiss under.
