It is the middle of the year (kinda), so you know what that means? Mistletoe! It's everywhere, and once you're under it, you can't move until you've smooched at least once. Play safe, play nice. Don't try to hurt the other person or you might just feel the pain, too. That's the beauty of the magic of June mistletoe, yeah. So act accordingly, kids.

[ The Kirijo family was having a Christmas gala and the Phantom Thieves were invited. Which, well, Makoto figured was mostly because they were persona users and no real other reason why. Ryuji was fine with that because any excuse to go to a party and eat a bunch of food on someone else's dime was something he would be glad to do. Plus, he's pretty sure Yukari would be there and he ... missed her. It'd been a while since they'd seen each other.
So, when the day of the party came, there he was. He was even dressed in a suit and everything — forced to by Ann and Makoto who would not be seen with him at a Kirijo party dressing like a slob. He cleaned up nice, looked nice, and felt nice.
After a run at the food table, Ryuji was wandering around the grand mansion just taking in the sights. He'd already finished what was on his plate and was considering getting some more when he found himself running into the exact person he wanted to see. ]
Oh, Yukari-san!
[ Look, he's using his manners. He lights up when he sees her and waves at her, stopping in front of her and grinning like a dipshit. He takes in her outfit and lets out a low whistle. ]
You look amazing.
[ And he's so busy beaming at her and feeling glad to have run into each other that he hasn't realized the real problem. That right above them was one of the many, many mistletoes decorating the mansion. ]
[ Perfect timing. Or maybe not. As Ruggie goes to enter Leona's room he strides right into him, hands automatically jumping up to the lion, and when he tries to step backward for space he doesn't get very far.
In fact, he barely gets anywhere. ]
Oh, seriously? Another?! [ This ain't his first rodeo, not even today, and so he knows precisely where to direct his annoyance — up to a little sprig above them. Great. With a resigned sigh he slumps slightly against Leona, cause it's Leona. But also, it's not like he can move much otherwise at the moment. ]
... Yeah, so. If you haven't noticed, that infestation on the main campus from yesterday? It's spreading. The mistletoe's started poppin' up around the dorm, too.
[ And it's not just any mistletoe. The plants have proven to be weirdly stubborn and resilient; tugging at them and setting them on fire were useless methods of destruction. The responsibility of their ultimate dispatch will undoubtedly be foisted upon a group of students at some point.
