Synopsis: Roy spends new years eve with a special someone.
Roy was standing outside, waiting for the fireworks to set off like the other people. He looked down at his phone.
23:40. Just 20 minutes before the new year. He sighed, looking around the crowd. Couple were holding eachother close, some intertwining their fingers even.
Roy couldn't deny that he had these thoughts before, wondering what it would be like if he had found himself a partner. The thoughts got amplyfied once he had developed...feeling for a girl. And he knew that the feeling was mutual.
He could see it on her face whenever she looked at him with her dark teal eyes, how she smiled softly, how her light brown skin would turn a pinker hue-
"Roy!" his train of thought got interrupted when he heard that familiar voice, turning to the person walking up to him. 'Speak of the devil...' he thought as he smiled up at the strawberry blonde teen who was smiling back at him.
"Heya Lexi! Did you...need something?" Roy asked, rubbing the back of his neck with a nervous smile. Alexis let out a small nervous chuckle, kicking her feet softly.
"I uhm- wanted to ask if you wanted to count with me?" she said with a hint of emberassment in her voice.
Roy's face lit up at the suggestion. "Ah- yes! Yes! I do!" he says with excitement, being a little too loud as well, gathering the attention of a few people. "I mean-" He cleared his throat once he realized, straightening his back. "Yes, I would love to." he says with a quieter voice, his cheeks slightly red from emberassment.
Alexis's smile got brighter and wider; "Okay, great!"
A few moments later, they were sitting on the pavement, looking at Roy's phone to keep track of the time. They were joking and giggling as they waited for the new year to come, blushing as they held eachother close.
"...Hey, roy?" "Yeah?" "Do you wanna kiss at midnight?" Alexis asked bluntly. Roy felt his face heat up at that, Alexis soon realizing what she said.
"o-OH! I-I meant- I- you- it's just- We like eachother- Like, like-like- a-and uh, I think-" Alexis stuttered out, her face turning a deep red. Roy was speechless, letting Alexis run her mouth.
The taller teen then buried her face in her hands, hiding her flustered face as she let out apologetic mumbles; "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryI'msorry-"
"H-hey, it's okay! I w-would like to..actually..." *Roy responds, getting flustered by his own words. Alexis pulls her hands away to look at him in surprise. "R-really? Y-you want to...do that?" she asks, her blush softening.
Roy nods in response, his blush also softening."Y-you can just kiss my cheek i-if you want..." he adds, fidgeting with his hands. "W-well then..." Alexis mutters out, smiling sheepishly.
They both waited until the last 5 seconds before the new year. The crowd started to count down collectively.
"Five..." Alexis took in Roy's hand, the latter looking at her.
"Four..." They scooted closer to eachother, feeling eachother's warmth.
"Three..." Alexis put her other hand on Roy's hand, caressing it softly.
"Two..." Roy turned his head away, his cheek facing Alexis.
"One!" Alexis pressed her lips against his cheek before the crowd cheered, the fireworks setting off. They both smiled softly, a firework illuminating it's bright pink light on their sorroundings.
'2014 is gonna be a good year...' Roy though, looking at Alexis with a soft smile.
