**********************************************************

It was New Years' Eve, and you were on the rooftop of Satoru's apartment building sitting on the black couches. It was cold, but you were comfortable in your coat, lounging next to Shoko, who was pleased with the abundant amount of alcohol brought. Nanami was also relaxing with you guys, a glass of whiskey in his hand as he moved the other through his hair. You guys had agreed to invite the younger workers, so Nobara, Maki, Yuji, and Megumi were all there, standing across the rooftop by the refreshments. They had also brought their friends Inumaki and Todo, so it was a nice little group. Yuji and Satoru had gotten together and brought up the idea of singing some karaoke, so they were setting up, which kept Satoru from teasing you.

Nobara groaned, "Are you idiots done yet? I want to have a battle with Yuji!" Satoru adjusted a final wire, standing up from his crouching position, confirming, "Yup!" Yuji also stood, pointing to Nobara and exclaiming, "You're on Kugisaki!" The three of you who were on the couches laughed at their young and boisterous energy.

Satoru approached you guys, plopping down on your free side, putting an arm around your shoulder, suggesting, "I think we should do a duet, Princess." You giggled, shaking your head, "No way, Satoru. You may have gotten me to dance in public, but I refuse to add singing in public to a list of embarrassing moments." Satoru was wearing glasses, so you saw his eyes gleam when he responded, "A list of embarrassing moments? Oh, you're going to tell me that later, Sweetheart." You turned your head so that your lips were by his ear as you whispered, "We'll see about that, Dimples."

He puffed out his lips, asking, "A kiss for me, Princess?"

"Mmmm, nope! Maybe at midnight, though," you smiled, moving your hand to his lips to block his advance. He frowned, "Maybe at midnight? Not even a definite yes, Stardust? I'm deeply offended by your words," crossing his arms, turning his face away from yours.

You lightly squeezed his hand, replying, "Well, Satoru, even though they know," gesturing to Nanami and Shoko, you continued, "we're still around co-workers who don't," nodding towards the younger ones. His eyes softened, still holding a hint of disappointment, surrendering, "Fine, but I'll find a way to get a kiss at midnight out of you."

Satoru stood, moving towards the refreshments to get a boozy drink. He quickly turned back to Nanami, "Hey Nanami! My bestie! We should duet!" He wiggled his shoulders with a grin, "It'll be fun! And I'll let you pick the song!"

You and Shoko looked at each other with an amused expression, anticipating the way Nanami would quickly shut him down this time, but to your and everyone else's surprise, he simply nodded. You raised a brow, "Nanami, did you just—"

"Oh, yes! Yes, he did! Nanami, my good, good buddy!" Satoru cuts in, quickly going to hug Nanami. Shoko whispered, "I guess this is Nanami under the influence." You laughed, "Yeah, I guess so. I wonder how he'll react in the morning." Shoko nodded her head, "Oh yeah! That will definitely be entertaining so I'll record that for sure."

You went to get your drink, and sitting back down on the couch, Nobara and Yuji had already begun their battle. You watched, laughing with the others at their adorable friendship. Nobara had taken a classy approach to the song, just singing it and showing her sassy personality while poor Yuji had gotten a little nervous at his part, relying on the screen to remember the words. Todo though, made his way closer to the stage, chanting Yuji on and getting him fired up over the idea of the competition with Nobara. It became hilarious chaos.
