It wouldn’t have mattered if a random team member decided to make their presence known; once she had pulled him into the kiss, the rest of the world ceased to exist for at least a moment. His arm wrapped around her waist, tightening comfortably to hold them together, and any pretense that the mistletoe was why this was happening drifted away. Her lips were soft and full; Barry might drive him crazy sometimes with how naïve he thought she viewed the world, but...this should have been an indication of the strength of his attraction.

His hand was pressing against the small of her back and Oliver finally let the kiss break, drawing in a staggering breath afterwards. It probably should feel more awkward; they were teammates, close friends, and though it was just a kiss, it still felt another boundary had been crossed. “I think...my holiday spirit is a little renewed.”

She'll probably freak out about this--or at least devote some serious time to contemplating the eternal question of 'okay that was fun now what??'--but right now, she's just grinning at him. "It's a Christmas miracle." They'll make heartwarming Christmas specials about it. Instant classics.

Her thoughts might have wandered away from her for a second there. She should probably actually talk to him about what she came here for at some point, but that would mean breaking this moment they have going on here, and she'd kind of rather see where that goes instead. You know. Out of scientific curiosity. At the very least, she wants to see how long it takes Oliver to let go of her if she's not the one to bring it up.

"True, but I don't think it's going to make a very appropriate Christmas Card," what he should be thinking about, and the fact that he isn't, was her fault. It's the look she's giving, and her eyes, how was he ever supposed to defend himself against it? For not being a very tactile person in general, holding her felt nice, the kind of thing he could become used to, and that thought is enough to momentarily break his reverie.

Hand dropping lower, but not completely away from her, his head tilted to the side. "Barry," her name is drawn out a touch, as if he really were suspicious. "Did you come all the way to Star City so I could kiss you, or?"

ho ho holiday slowness whomp whomp.

"Uh, technically I was playing free expedited shipping between Cisco and Felicity," she says before digging a small, thin box wrapped in blue paper out of a pocket and setting it down before she forgets or something. (Yes. The suit has pockets. Not ones she uses a lot because, you know, streamlining, but still.) "I'm allowed to have more than one reason to go someplace, though."

Also she is hurt, hurt that he would be suspicious of her motives for coming to Star City. Not hurt enough that she would move away or reject another kiss if he was so inclined, but still.
