Fourth Year|Eight|New Years Kisses

Love, I can't ignore you
In my room
Do anything for you (tap, tap)
Love, I do adore you

Tuesday, December 31st, 1974

The Slytherins were hosting a New Year's party in the common room. Regulus wrote to the boys to tell them he was eternally grateful he wasn't there to have Barty and Evan drag him to the party.

"E!" Barty shouted from the bathroom. "Yeah?!" Evan shouted back. "C'mere!" Barty shouted. Evan walked into the bathroom and his jaw dropped slightly.

"You like?" Barty asked, spinning around slowly to show off his outfit.

Evan, apparently at a loss for words, just nodded and admired his friend.

Barty had black eyeshadow brushed around his eyes and his lips were glossed with a clear, sparkly lip gloss. He wore a black mesh crop top and black bell bottom jeans.

"It's..hot. I mean, not hot, I mean it is hot but not like that it's-y'know, it's-I'm gonna shut up. You look good" Evan stuttered. Barty chuckled and shook his head, amused.

"Don't worry, Ev. I know what you're tryna say" Barty said, smiling, "thanks".

"Now we gotta find you an outfit!" Barty said excitedly. Evan grinned and the two giddily started going through Evan's trunk. "Oooh, you HAVE to wear this!" Barty said, holding up a green jacket with pins and patches scattered all over it.

"Why?" Evan asked, raising a brow. "Because it would go perfectly with.." he searched through his own trunk, "this!" He took out a black tight-fitted tank top that had a hollowed out back "Oh, Merlin" Evan laughed and covered his face with his hands.

"What?! It would look good!" Barty said. "We'd look like a couple of fags" Evan said. "Well, it's a good thing you are a fag. And I don't give a shit about what people think of me" Barty pointed out.

Eventually, Evan agreed to wear the outfit Barty picked out.

"I look so dumb" Evan said as he pulled the sleeves of the jacket down. "Nah, you look great" Barty said. He placed his hand on Evan's arm and the other boy tensed up. Thinking back, Evan did that a lot when Barty touched him in any kind of way. It could be a smack on the back of the head and he'd get flustered.

"You think?" Evan said, reassessing his appearance. "Yeah" Barty replied, removing his hand from Evan's arm.

Once they heard music starting to play, the two boys made their way to the common room.

The music was loud, there were teenagers scattered around the room, and there was a table littered with bottles and cans of alcohol.

There were more students than Barty expected. He assumed most people went home for the holidays.

Barty and Evan made their way to the drink table, and each took a bottle of firewhiskey.

The time was only 9:21pm, so they had 3 hours to get shitfaced drunk before the new year.

The countdown started, and everyone in the common room was loudly and drunkly chanting.

"10!.." Barty looked to Evan, who had taken his jacket off an hour ago.

"9!.." He grabbed Evan's hand and the other boy had a confused expression.

"8!.." Barty and Evan looked at each other.

"7!.." Evan furrowed his brows in confusion.

"6!.." Barty pulled Evan closer.

"5!.." Evan tensed up as their bodies touched.

"4!.." Barty put his hand to the side of Evan's face.

"3!.." Evan's eyes widened.

"2!.." Barty pulled Evan even closer.

"1!.." Barty leaned in.

"HAPPY NEW YEARS!" The whole common room whooped.

Barty connected his and Evan's lips, moving them hungrily. Evan took a second to kiss him back, but he did so easily.

The two boys ran their hands all over the other. They were groping at each other, and only separating for a moment to catch their breath.

They reconnected their lips, and a few people around them were cheering them on. Barty reached down and pressed his palm against Evan's crotch, the pressure instantly making the other boy start to harden.

Evan moaned accidentally and Barty smirked. He pulled away from his friend and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"We must be more drunk than we thought" Barty laughed awkwardly. Evan laughed in response, and even though Barty couldn't see it at the time, there was a hurt expression on Evan's face.

Soon, the two boys went up to their dorm. Barty passed out the second his head hit his pillow, he didn't even attempt to get undressed or take off his eye makeup (Evan had licked off the last of his lip gloss).

Evan, however, had stayed awake. He sat next to Barty on his bed and caressed his cheek. He frowned as he thought about the kiss with Barty. He knew it was only a drunken kiss exchanged between two best friends, but it felt so passionate in the moment.

He softly kissed Barty's forehead and went over to his own bed. He changed out of his clothes and into some track pants and a Weird Sisters t-shirt.
