[The surprised look is cute on Mikasa's face and he's happy that he managed to keep the present secret. Though it was also a surprise to get one from Mikasa. A pleasant, heartwarming surprise.

Jean sees the items inside his package and smiles. Warm gloves, scarf and even a hat. Just what he needed to fight back the cold winter. The colors are also nostalgic and symbolic.]

Thank you. They'll definitely keep me warm.

[He states at her for a long time, happy to see her reaction to the necklace. This is all in all a very wholesome moment.]

Can I help you put it on?

They'd better.

[It's great seeing him so happy and smiling too. This sure is one of the best memories here with him. Something just between them.]

Yes, of course you can.

[Give her a moment to take it away from its box and all, moving much closer to Jean after that and holding that necklace against her while he'll help from behind.]

[Jean moves her hair to the side and then joins the two ends of the chain together behind her neck and locks them. He gets distracted for a bit though, having Mikasa so close to him.

After a moment he presses a very gentle kiss on her neck before letting her hair fall back over it. Then he's blushing very deeply over the gesture, wondering if he ruined the moment.]

[Mikasa is trying not to get distracted by being so close. Even if part of her wants to get even closer, she has been more and more affectionate this month with that little boost from Elios at the beginning of the month to help with getting things rolling... She should move as soon as she hears it locking, it even feels like it obviously won't fall.

She doesn't move. Seeing if anything happens if she stays close to him is way too tempting. Whether that would be from her side or his side is another thing but either works for her.

Jean does that and she gasps again, not really expecting it or anything else to happen even if she is hoping otherwise...

... And then that moment is gone and she is blushing fiercely. Should she turn around and kiss him or make it clear how she wants more of those or ... go away if he changed his mind about the timing or anything else??

She is doing... None of those. Well. Not at first. She turns around at least but she leans closer to give a kiss to his neck too. And another above it and maybe even another above that before she nuzzles their noses together and stops right in front of him like she is so damn close but not kissing him yet... Teaser? Nope. Waiting for him to kiss her while the words "all I want for Christmas is you" suddenly make sense.]

[Jean is unsure of what he expects at this stage. They've been close, but was this too much? The wait after the kiss is tense and he can hear his heart beating faster.

Then she turns around. His face is even darker red when Mikasa leans closer. The first kiss makes him gasp. The other two make him sigh. The muzzle brings a smile to his face.

Jean can tell that it's not a teaser but that Mikasa's waiting for him. It doesn't take long for him to close the distance and kiss her on her lips.]

[Does anyone ever know what to expect from anyone else? No idea but if Mikasa was in his place, she'd have similar thoughts too.

Except she kind of is in that same situation because she has no idea how he'd react either. Action girl, not the thinker... Jean's reactions make her smile though.

She could kiss him. It wouldn't be a new thing at this point, not after that one morning that changed things. Not that it still isn't exciting whenever they kiss and it makes her heart go into a wild race with butterflies everywhere everytime But she waits. Somehow it just feels more fun that way right now.

Jean never makes her wait, it's one of the best things about him for an impatient girl like her. Mikasa doesn't make him wait with returning that kiss either. Nope. And neither with how fast she is wrapping her arms around him as if he might somehow go away if she wouldn't do that. He wouldn't go, of course not, she trusts him -- so apparently she still doesn't trust this world on letting them both stay here.

But ... He definitely didn't go too far or anything with that first kiss earlier. She's just not sure how to say that or anything else. She could be blunt but so far letting actions speak instead of words seem to work better, maybe she should continue it like that if she'll ever throw self-control away from all of this. Moving closer, as close as she can get right now.]

[The kiss definitely feels amazing. All the kisses they had shared so far had been something Jean had only dreamed of. Having her close, kissing her, her arms around him in an embrace. Mikasa made him feel so alive and high on love.

Not that he had confessed yet, but he's pretty sure by now his feelings are clear as day. If not, at least she'd see there's something there. Something that has always been there. He wanted to tell her with his own words. Someday. When the timing would feel right.

Right now he wraps his own arms around her, holding her as close as he could. Without breaking the kiss, he guides her so she can even sit on his lap. But only if she wanted to, of course.

Jean wanted to be as close to her as possible, but he also respected her limits. Because he loves her. Truly, madly, deeply.]
