"Moony?" Sirius felt just a bit panicked right about now. He'd expected this to be met with, if not laughter, at least sarcasm or that feigned outrage Remus put on when he was being too stubborn to admit he was amused. But Remus looked more, well, horrified, and that wouldn't do at all. He'd done an awful lot of stupid things that had seemed funny at the time, and he was a bit tired of doing them. It wasn't even fair, really-- he hadn't meant to get stuck under the mistletoe, and Remus had started the kiss besides.
"Ooh, careful, mate," he said when Remus stumbled, automatically grabbing his arm and pulling him back to steady. "Are you all right?" And with just a trace of nervousness in his voice, "Are we all right? You know I didn't mean anything by it. Just thought we should give the annoying plant what it wanted." He grinned, hoping this would be enough to set Remus at ease enough to appreciate the humor of the situation.
