OffGun New Years

(they aren't dating and are oblivious to their own feelings...sorry.)

Off's POV

"Gun, I'm here!"

"P'Off."

I stopped for a brief moment. "P'Off? What happened to Papi?" I thought, inadvertently making a confused face. But I quickly brushed the thought away as I was swarmed with screaming fans.

"Is something wrong?"

"Where's Gun?"

"What's with the face?"

"Do you think that this pandemic will cease at the stroke of midnight?"

"Who will take your New Years kiss?"

"Hello, everything is okay. I'm very excited for this evening. As for where Gun is, I do not know. But one thing I do know is know that if we stay strong we will get through this tough time."

"Will you have a New Years kiss? If so, who shall it be with?"

"..."

"P'Off?"

My mind went back to her.

——-New Years Eve, 2019——

"P'Off, thank you for being here with me. I-I just really love you...s-sorry, it's just that we've been dating for sometime and I thought I cou-"

"Please...just stop. I can't take it. I'm sorry. S-something's wrong with us. With me."

"H-hold on, what? Are you breaking up with me? On New Year's Eve?"

She's right. What the fuck am I doing? We're happy together. It's a great relationship. Nothing's wrong...nothing. "You're right. Never mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

We ended it off two months later.

——-Present day——-

"P'Off!"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay? You blanked out for a second."

"Oh, sorry about that," i mumbled as my hand made its way to the back of my neck. "She didn't deserve that." I thought.

"Papi!"

I felt hands grab my shoulders and was knocked out of my trance as his familiar scent filled the air.

"Hi!" I said with a smirk, subconsciously leaning my neck out for his usual greeting. It was so strange, but It felt euphoric whenever I was in his presence. As his plump lips touched my neck, I couldn't help but feel happy that I had such a good friend. (😑)

"So, you excited for the ball drop?"

"Uh, yeah. You?"

"Definitely. I've never been to New York before."

"Same."

The photo shoot started.

It was somehow awkward...this feels just like a year ago. Please let this end. I don't want to lose him too. I started to fiddle with my hands.

And that's when I felt it. Even the smallest gesture could save me when it was from him. He rubbed his hand on my back.

"You good?" He asked

"I'm fine... thank you." I whispered

He returned it with a smile.

After the shoot ended, we went outside just 15 minutes before midnight. The good thing was that we were heading to a specific area where we wouldn't have to wear masks(😮)our group consisted of Gun and I as well as 7 or 8 GMM workers.

"10 minutes!" Someone shouted.

I was standing next to Gun when the question popped into my head once again. Who will I kiss? It's not like I'll just not do it, just imagine what that'll do to my morale! Somebody. Anybody!

"6 minutes till midnight!"

I realized that people started to separate into groups of two or three and started to panic. I have literally no body to kiss. This coming year is kinda lookin sucky. Gun seemed to notice my eyes skimming the group.

"Are you looking for someone," he asked, sounding slightly dejected.

"Kind of. Can you find me a girl to kiss in..." i glanced at my watch,"3 minutes... hold 3 MINUTES?!"

"Uh...yeah, sure. How about P'jenny?"

"Oh I'm not worthy enough to even be in her presence. Pick someone who isn't a freakin goddess."

"2 minutes!"

"Umm how about-"

"Everyone, gather around! It's time!"

Time for what? Hold on, maybe this is my chance! Some decent looking girl will have to be there! I rushed towards the group and made my presence loud and clear.

"So what's going on?"

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4..."

I stopped to look around. Nope. Nope. Meh. Gun? I don't really know about tha-

Did someone just push me? Hold on, something warm is on my lips. Was someone kissing me? Why is this so familiar? Well, I might as well continue.

3rd person

Little did Off know that he was kissing his friend, coworker, and his true love. Now Off really longed for a kiss for the whole night. Therefore, he went full out, refraining from opening his eyes.

Off's POV

To my surprise, she started to kiss back. Our lips shared a rhythm and were perfectly in sync. It was like a match made in heaven. I was feeling adventurous, this having being my first kiss in 4 months, so I asked for entrance, licking her lower lip. She complied, and I explored, licking her teeth and then moving on to her tongue. It felt so warm and so perfect. She has to be the one. As I started to lose air, I decided to stop the kiss, eager to meet my love (totally not because of little Off becoming noticeably larger).

I opened my eyes to find...

Gun?! WTF! I was speechless. But, happy?!

"Uhh...wow."

I looked around, attempting to spare my pride...

It was a this moment when I knew, I fucked up.

Everyone's mouths were hung wide open while their eyes pierced my skin.

Clap.

Clap.

It started as a scattered applause but soon escalated to a complete ovation with cheering and "Happy New Years!"

Instinctively, I hugged him, avoiding eye contact. We stood their for what felt like an hour. So this is what being content feels like. This will be an amazing year.
