i laughed at my childhood best friend because he's spamming tweets on twitter. probably whining about not having anyone to spend new years with. vinnie and i have been hanging out a lot more recently because he stayed in seattle longer than usual.
currently us two are the only ones at his house because his parents went out since it is new years eve and reggie is outside with his friends. i look at my phone and see it's 11:58. so vin turns on the tv to the countdown.
i get comfortable on the couch next to him. "i wish i was getting a new years kiss tonight." he whines. "hey that makes two of us." a couple minutes go by and the time is getting closer. "hey y/n?"
i hum in response. "what do you think the new year is gonna be like."
"i don't know. hopefully filled with more happiness because 2021 has been pretty shitty." our eyes dart to the tv as the 10 second countdown begins. i sigh as i looked at him taking in all his beautiful features. y/n just tell him how you feel. you've like him since forever now. i was interrupted from my thoughts by vinnie. "y/n you're staring." he lets out a small laugh.
i look into his brown eyes hearing the tv in the back.
three. i really wanna kiss him. two. what do i do?one. fuck it. i lean in and conneted our lips. happy new year! i smile as his thumb caressed my cheek deepening the kiss. we both pull away slowly. "sorry i-" i try to move away hiding my face in embarrassment. vinnie holds my arm stopping me. "no it's fine."
he pulls me into his chest catching me off guard.
"y/n?" i look up at him. "i know you like me?"
"what? how?" my shyness become extremely obviously. "reggie told me." i mentally rolled my eyes. what a traitor. the dark living goes silent. only light and noise was from the tv and people celebrating with fireworks.
he begins rubbing my back making my start closing my eyes. "how about we go on a date later?" my only response was to nod because i was half asleep at this point. "i like you too." vinnie whispered not thinking i could hear him. i smiled to myself before drifting off to sleep on his chest.
