[It says something that Xiaolang hadn't fainted over all of this yet, so his threshold for kissing and general affection has definitely gone up over the past year. It still was a lot of pressure, though, having to kiss at the insistence of a silly mistletoe bat, and that added more to his nerves and reluctance than the actually smooching did. He does dimly note the scrunching of her nose at his kiss, and he wants to kick himself for being so sudden with it, but there was something undeniably cute about that expression on her face.
But! He could admire how adorable his girlfriend was later-- right now, they still had the bat to deal with, and it didn't seem all that perturbed by the stares being sent it's way. Instead, it seemed rather put out by that excuse of a kiss, and after a brief bout of silence... it chirps. Again. There's something almost exasperated as it squeaks out that familiar tune, pushing them to kiss-- but like, a better one this time, guys!! It went through all that hassle with Xiaolang's magic, so it had to be worth it!
Xiaolang, of course, doesn't seem hugely thrilled by this, looking equally exasperated by the whole situation.]
W-Why is it still here? It was fine with a forehead kiss last year!
[Granted, that was before they were dating, so of course they were let off the hook, and Sakura kissed him on the cheek too, but...
His eyes travel back to Sakura, his face warm and shy, resisting the urge to fidget.]

Are you... okay with trying again?
