Tom Hiddleston one shot/drabble collection

A Cozy New Year's Eve

A/N: I know it's almost the end of January and clearly this should have been up for New Year's, but better late than never haha. Anyway, I do hope you've all had a great Christmas and start to 2026.

The next few one shots/drabbles will be the end of 2024's prompts. I had hoped to have finished them last year, but unfortunately I haven't. I did mention the reasons why in my last post, if you missed that then you can visit my profile, but hopefully I'll get those prompts finally finished up as soon as I can. The next one is well underway and hopefully won't be too, too long until it's finished.

Also I hope you enjoy this little late New Years drabble special! ☺️x

Summary: Tom and his partner have a cozy New Year's Eve at home with a roaring fire and some drinks while watching the countdown into the New year.

Warnings: Use of alcohol

------------------------------

The flames of the fire danced and crackled softly in the background. The room is lit by its light, as well as the screen of the television above it, and with the soft twinkling lights on the Christmas tree in the corner. Two mugs of hot chocolate sat on the coffee table. The perfect drink for a cozy night in.

Tom sat sloughed on the couch. His legs spread open beneath the tartan blanket that was draped over him and you, his partner, who's all cuddled up beside him. Your head resting on his chest and one arm draped over his stomach on top of the blanket. His own arm tightly wrapped around your waist keeping you as close as possible. The pair of you all cozied up and content with each other's warm embrace as you both quietly watched the New Year's Eve countdown programme. But every now and then you'd feel his hand gently squeeze your waist or feel him kiss the top of your head. He's always been that way with you, always so affectionate and loving, the perfect partner even.

Later as it neared midnight and the hot chocolate all gone the pair of you had moved onto a glass of champagne to toast to the New Year. Both of you sat up and watched those last few moments for the countdown clock to strike twelve.

"Happy New Year, my love." Tom says softly, then kisses you tenderly, pouring all his love into it as the countdown runs out and the sound of the fireworks on the television explode with an array of colours.

"Happy New Year, sweetie." You said softly back, the second the kiss broke. Resting your forehead against his momentarily, before pulling away and both of you then clinked your glasses together followed by both of you taking a sip of the champagne.

Another New Year had begun and neither of you could have asked for a better way to start it than being together on a cozy cold night in. Both of you are excited for what the year would bring and what new adventures awaited.
