oswald hummed as he poured two glasses of red wine for him and his guest.
"oswald, this evening has been the best new years eve ive ever had," he smiled at oswald as he handed him his glass. "thank you,"
"of course, old friend," os smiled back. he sat down onto a leather loveseat next to his friend in front of a mantle and fireplace. above the mantle sat a tv with gothams downtown new years eve parade and celebration airing live.
"so, ed" oswald said as he sat his glass down and turned to edward. "d'you have any new years eve resolutions?" he raised his eyebrows and grinned at the other man.
"well, um, actually. ive been thinking maybe i should start getting closer to other people. yknow. grow relationships and such.." edward blushed and looked at his feet.
"oh, thats a great resolution. my resolution is gonna have to be to try new things.." oswald looks edward up and down, then stands up.
"um. oswald. i have a question."
oswald turns to ed. "yes, edward?
"well, i was just wondering, have you ever had feelings for... for... well, a man?" edward went red again as the words just fell out. and so did oswald.
"um. well. im not gay, if thats what your asking, but i dont find women attractive and i do find one particular man attractive." he looked at the fireplace as he said this, afraid to give away emotion from his face.
edward swallowed hard after processing his words. he does like me. he does! i knew i wasnt crazy. well, i am crazy, but you know what i mean.
oswald sat back down next to his friend as they watched the television til it was 11:45, then oswald stood up and walked closer towards the tv. he started crying as the countdown started and edward approached him.
"oswald, whats wrong?"
"ed..." oswald turned to the taller man, and inched toward him til there was barely any space between them.

"edward, kiss me." oswald said in barely more than a whisper as edwards lips came crashing down his.
Happy New Year!
