[ she'd like to think she's capable of subtlety. it's a happy accident when she manages it, but twice in one evening is a feat supergirl has yet to master. when oliver's quirk of a brow isn't quite enough to clue her in, kara looks around — first down, searching for some hidden meaning in the way his hands are arranged, and then to the sides as if her proximity to the nutcrackers or the bar snacks yet to be put out would be reason enough for an unexpected kiss. it isn't until she finally looks up, a desperate last resort, that her eyes focus in on the mistletoe twinkling above them. what an idea.

it seems both serendipitous and downright embarrassing that mistletoe would be the reason oliver queen would choose to lay a smooch on her. a soft, warm, lingering kiss that left her just this side of breathless, sure, but not a kiss she was expecting to receive. her disappointment in this discovery is far less subtle; kara's mouth drops almost impossibly fast, a frown dulling the bright glimmer in her eyes, and her hands clasp together as if to steel herself from further embarrassment.

but then oliver asks her, and his question is so sincerely posed, so sweet and almost hesitant in a way that seems incredibly uncharacteristic of himself, kara nearly chokes on surprise. ] You — but I thought — I mean, yes, obviously, of course I'll be your date, but I thought — [ a breath, hands fluttering a bit ] I thought you were just kissing me because of the mistletoe!

DO IT AGAIN...jk it's perfect

[ kara’s reactions alone are a compelling enough reason to have done it; hiding behind the easiest path, an ultimate cop out, didn’t suit either of them. especially when her mouth folded downwards and a pang of guilt struck the pit of his stomach. he, who could stand against deathstroke and malcolm merlyn without flinching, was helpless against the briefly dejected look that had etched it’s way into her expression ]

The mistletoe? Just convenient for what I already wanted to do. [ having seen both sides of her, supergirl in action, and who she was around her friends, he didn’t really understand how someone couldn’t be at least a little taken in. they were opposites in most ways; his initial reservations had been unfounded, and oliver queen admitting he was wrong was a pretty rare occurrence ] You’ve already saved the holidays.

[ there were numerous things that he should be doing; like giving her a little space, and not subconsciously tracing his tongue across his lip to find the lingering taste of her, but none of those were going to happen right then ] The mayor doesn’t have to show up dateless for his party...and Thea gets her wish. She told me I couldn’t be grouchy over Christmas. I don’t have a reason to be anymore.

[ teammates, friends growing closer, and still, he couldn’t settle for that without crossing another imaginary boundary. no one ever said oliver queen had shame. it’s more innocent than it sounds; jumping head first is his go to method, but he’s teasing her. maybe ] One more thing. [ turning his head and leaning in, lips closer to her ear, she couldn’t see his smile, but it was there ] I’m hoping that it’s not the last time I get to kiss you tonight.
