Levi is a newbie in Taxon, and he's exploring, because that's what vampires do best. Other that the whole blood sucking and stalking in the night thing. Vampires do that pretty well, too.

But forget that off topic bit of rambling; Levi's wandering the streets of Taxon, and it's closer to night time than day time, because even if he can walk in the sun, it doesn't mean he wants to. The sun makes him uncomfortable, and Levi simply does not do uncomfortable. Either way, it's getting dark, and Levi's walking around Central, near the Sanctuary building, because he figures hey, if he's going to explore, why not try to find Shane, as well?

He's relatively sure he isn't going to, but just in case. And besides, he wants to meet the locals. Ethan was all dandy and everything, but Levi fully intended on investigating these so called 'other vampires' and also, finding likely candidates to invite to the soonest basement party he could come up with.

He might also be vaguely considering eating one of the people wandering outside without bracelets. Levi had already tried everything to get his off-- it was tacky and ugly, and they could have at least made it glitter or something-- to no avail. But Ethan had told him the people without the bracelets were okay to eat.

Levi is standing in the middle of the street, arms folded, watching the Extras go by, and pondering this dilemma. He doesn't realize his tablet has gone off again, filming his thoughtful expression.

Ethan spares it a glance, but otherwise doesn't care much. He keeps walking, wondering when Levi's going to be finished staring.

"No problem. We'll just say that there's no such thing as a private issue around here and leave it at that, huh?"

So this archway is making him feel weird. Okay, it's stupid to say it's the archway, but that's the only thing in the area that he can blame.

Okay, Levi's finished. He walks off to catch up with Ethan, and then pauses again as they both pass under the archway, and Levi's in the middle of a sentence, "I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually--" when he stops.

There's definitely something odd about the archway. Is that...

And then, to his surprise, he gets this sudden urge to kiss Ethan. A strong urge. Whoah. So he does, leaning forward and pressing their lips together rather roughly, surprised by himself.

Ethan would complain - and loudly; you know him - but he's getting the strong urge to kiss him, too. It's kind of freaking him out. But Ethan, lord of acting on impulse, barely hesitates as he tugs Levi forward by the front of the jacket and kisses him back Ethan style.

There is so much cursing going on in his head right now, and not the good kind.

Well then. To be honest, Levi had always wondered what it would be like to kiss Ethan, especially after hearing all of those rather detailed accounts from his minions, but he'd never actually do it. Except now he is, and hello, he's kind of liking it here.

He figures Ethan is not going to be pleased, but hey, Levi's going to roll with the urges here and keep up with the pace, and it's definitely approaching something like making out here, jeeze. Get a room, you two.

If it wasn't Levi, Ethan wouldn't mind. Scratch that, if it weren't for his pride, Ethan wouldn't mind. For someone who's pretty much been repressed for months and months, it's just fine, but it's Levi. And as the, er, 'sweet' mistletoe kiss gets further away from Disney standards, well... get a room, indeed.

Ethan stops once his hand tries to take the back of Levi's head, and it goes tense, fingers curling, and his hand drops -- he breathes heavily, still close but not moving because he's still kind of in shock. Yeah, he's looking down the street. Screw you, Levi.

When this is all over with and Levi has the chance to breathe, he is so going to find someone for Ethan to sleep with. The repression is practically pouring out of the kiss, and... well, Levi is enjoying it, at least. The smell hasn't even registered yet, either, so involved is he in the make out session.

And then Ethan pulls away slightly, and Levi shivers, pulling away as well; at some point he'd grabbed at Ethan's shirt collar, and he's still gripping it now. Even when they're kissing it's like they're fighting.

"Mm. Well. That was interesting."

Ethan, while looking away from Levi, notices something about that special arch. And he snorts. It's almost too obvious. Not to mention ridiculous.

"Mistletoe. Really."

Way to avoid talking about the kiss, Ethan, yep.

Levi looks up as well at that, and then raises an eyebrow. The world has failed to tell him about glitches.

"... You're saying it's the mistletoe's fault. Are you sure you aren't just hiding an important piece of information relating to your sexuality from me, Ethan?"

Ethan laughs an 'oh please' sort of laugh, stepping out of Levi's lingering grip and fighting the urge to swipe at his mouth with his arm. "Somebody forget to tell you that this place likes to fuck with us, Blakely? Because I sure as hell didn't start that."

"Seeing as you are the only one I could get information out of, and you neglected to tell me, yes. I had no knowledge beforehand that this place was going to make me want to kiss you." Levi makes a face. Okay, it wasn't like he objected to the kiss itself, more the fact that it'd been Ethan, and now he was never going to hear the end of it. And Ethan's beard was itchy.

"You certainly seemed into it," Levi teases lightly.

Grumble grumble. "So did you." Pause, and he's dying for a subject change.

"So nobody told you that you're pretty much Taxon's bitch now, that right?" He starts to walk again, only barely waiting for Levi to keep up. Not that he expects that to be a problem. So sue him, he's getting cold.

"Well, you are an excellent kisser, so the rumors are correct in that respect, at least," Levi says thoughtfully, grinning as he follows after Ethan.

"Mm, not exactly. What do you mean, 'Taxon's bitch'?"

"I mean whenever whatever is running this place feels like making you a kid, or a chick, or fucking with your head, it will." Ethan crosses his arms again as he walks, staring ahead but slanting a look Levi's way.

"Well, I can't say I'd be opposed to being female for a day, just to see what it was like, but I'd rather not be a child again," Levi muses out loud. Glancing at Ethan, he frowns slightly.

"Have you been messed with by the city?"

No, Levi wouldn't be, and Ethan's really not that surprised. He's pretty sure that after all the screwing with he's had, he's prefer to put that off for... well, ever, thank you very much.

"Not yet. And it better stay that way."

"You do know that now that you've said that, it's going to happen, right?" Levi asks mildly, leaning forward slightly to look at Ethan properly. "And by the way, where exactly are we going?"
