New Years wish ~

Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x reader

Warnings: a kiss?

~

you had never had a new years kiss, learning to not even expect one as each year came to a close with the promise of a new beginning.

sure, you had flings and small romances, but none of them were serious enough or stuck around long enough to be that special kiss to kick off the new year with.

this was no different as your friends from nevermore gathered on the rooftop of tallest tower in the building. it was intimate, only involving you, enid, wednesday, ajax, yoko, bianca, kent, and xavier.

everyone knew enid and wednesday would seal the deal of the new year by each others side. ajax had yoko, bianca and kent would merely hug as friends, and you assumed xavier wanted to do the same with you.

"y/n," xavier waltzed your way as the clicked showed one minute on everyone's watches. "i was wondering..." his voice was wavering, nerves clearly getting to him.

"xavier?" you turned to face him weather than the beautiful starry sky. "you alright? if you don't wanna hug or anything it's fine, i-"

"it's not that," he assured you as he reached to hold both of your hands. "i wanted to do more, actually. would you mind if i-if we-"

you were interrupted by the infamous countdown of the night, everyone's voice joining in unison. "10...9...8..."

xavier still hadn't finished asking whatever he was going to ask or say. but, you brought your hands to his shoulders as you began to join in counting.

"5...4...3...2..."

before you could get to one, xavier's hands went to cup your cheek and waist. now, you've been kissed enough to know when someone's about to kiss you, and you were overjoyed by this. he leaned down to connect your lips, which were smiling.

one of your hands went to hold his that was holding your face, the other cupping his neck right below his ear. as much as you loved how often this guy made you smile, you really hated that it was nearly ruining the kiss.

regardless, you couldn't help the little groan of excitement that left your throat. with a chuckle, xavier reluctantly pulled back, connecting your foreheads to one another.

"happy new year," he now pressed a kiss to your forehead before resting his there once again. his breath was minty as if fanned over your face.

"quite the happy new year, indeed," you nodded as you swung both arms around his neck. "is that what you were so scared to ask me about? to be your new years kiss?"

"well, i don't want it to just be a new years kiss," he shrugged as you somehow ignored the fireworks going off all around you in the sky. "i want this to be real with us. i've always wanted that."

"i would love nothing more than to spend the rest of this new year with you."
