Momo’s eyes sweep over the top of the buildings, street lights and Christmas lights illuminating the roads below her. She leans over the balcony railing, her fingers pressing into the cool metal as she did so. The form to the side of Momo shivers and Momo’s eyes flick to the right of her.

“You cold, Sana?”

Sana replies with a breathy laugh, eyes crinkling at Momo. “Yeah, just a bit though. It’s my fault I didn’t bother to wear anything warmer anyway.” Sana gives Momo another reassuring smile.

“Are you sure? I don’t mind going back inside if it means you won’t catch a cold, Sana.” Momo’s voice softens, the concern laced in her words was evident. Sana found it endearing.

The younger girl only reaches over the balcony railing and takes Momo’s hand, giving it a squeeze. “It’s alright, I like being out here with you.”

Momo smiles to herself, biting the insides of her cheeks. “It’s a nice contrast from the hectic day we had today. Makes me realize when you’re with alone with someone everything just seems different, you see things differently.”

“What do you see differently when you’re with me?” Sana asks, her voice just barely audible.

“Everything,” Momo chuckles. “I don’t know, really. I mean even the lights we’re looking at now look different. They’re so… beautiful.” Momo pauses and Sana steals a glance. “Or maybe it’s all in my head and I’m a complete lunatic - who knows.” Momo continues as she rubs small circles into Sana’s hand with her thumb.

“You’re not crazy, I get what you mean. You’re by my side, so it’s different.” Sana’s eyes follow the blinking lights of an airplane making its way across the star speckled sky.

“‘It’ as in?”

“Like you said,” Sana’s lips curl into a thin smile. “Everything.”

“Did you pull out the floss enough to actually reach them?” Mina peers over the side of the roof, the two figures below them completely oblivious to the fact their friends were hanging a mistletoe above them with a DIY fishing pole made out of floss and a ruler. Mina only hopes Momo won’t mind having to buy another package of floss.

“Yeah, I just have to reach down a bit lower thought-” Nayeon’s face contorts as she extends her arm more, fearful of the chance the measuring tool might slip out of her hand.

Dahyun pops up next to Mina, catching her own peak of the romantic drama going on below them. “Have they seen it yet?” Dahyun quietly questions Mina, who shakes her head in response. Jeongyeon appears behind Dahyun and Mina, slinging an arm around both of them as she looked over the side of the building, watching Sana and Momo converse on the balcony below them.

“So, have those two idiots been acting like two cows staring at each other in a field this entire time? Or are they going to look up at one point and realize ‘hey - is that a mistletoe? Guess we gotta kiss now.’”

Nayeon turns and sends a glare to Jeongyeon. “Would you pipe down? We’re not that far away from them you know!” Nayeon hisses, losing her balance, her face draining of color as she almost loses her grip of the ruler. “, I hit Momo with the mistletoe.”

“Disperse!”

Momo finds that the entire time she’s been out on the balcony with Sana, holding her hand, that she’s had a difficult time keeping her breathing even. Just when Momo thought she contained both her heart rate and breathing, she feels a light pressure on the top of her head.

Her eyes glance upwards and finds herself staring at a mistletoe hanging off of a ruler from the top of the roof, the outstretched arm holding the ruler, wobbling around in the air. Momo turns her head to look through the balcony doors and finds her apartment devoid of any of her friends who were in there before.

She looks back up at the mistletoe and flushes when the questions in her head are drowned out by the sound of Sana’s voice. Momo’s not dumb, she knows what the whole deal about mistletoes are. Sana looks over at Momo, surprised to find her expression flustered as Momo’s gaze is fixated on something above them.

Sana follows Momo’s gaze and finds

“A mistletoe?” Sana breathes out shyly.

Momo nods, refusing to make eye contact with Sana. Her eyes snap away from the mistletoe and fixate themselves on the city line in the distance. She audibly gulps as she knows Sana’s looking at her now.

Sana laughs silently and she pulls her hand away from Momo’s and reaches up to cup Momo’s cheek. She turns Momo’s head to face her.

Momo’s mouth dries up and she wants to say something, but she then becomes aware of the little space between them. Momo’s lips part, about to say something, but Sana instead takes the moment to close the distance between them.

-

“Someone look over already, it’s cold and I want to go back to Momo’s apartment to eat more cookies.” Tzuyu whispers from the huddle Dahyun, Chaeyoung and herself have made.

Jihyo trudges forward and spares a glance over the edge, her eyes widening as she lets out a silent cheer.

“They kissed!” Jihyo loudly whispers, clapping her hands together softly in an erratic motion.

The rest of the girls perk up, cheering and yelling as quietly as they could, all of them getting up and rushing to the edge of the roof.

-

When Sana pulls away, hand still rested on Momo’s cheek, Momo’s eyes can only flutter open to see Sana’s glowing face, a smile pointed towards Momo.

“Merry Christmas, Momo.”

Momo’s lips curl into a grin as she brings her arms around Sana’s waist, pulling Sana flush against her saying “Merry Christmas indeed,” before finding Sana’s lips on her own again.

-

(bonus)

Momo smiles against Sana’s lips before she separates them, planting a small kiss on the tip of Sana’s nose.

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” Bellows seven voices in unison. Sana and Momo look up to find the source of the voices before being blinded by snow.

The girls on the roof begin having themselves a good laugh, finding the prank amusing.

They didn’t find the fact that the roof access door got locked behind them very amusing.
