Zach Herron's P.O.V.
"I love you, baby." I said as I cuddled Leilanie. We were all sprawled in the living room, cuddling our partners, Corbyn and Dylan, Daniel and Emily, Jonah and Leia, Sam and Jack, and Logan, and Lydia, who's his assistant that he started dating.
"I love you, too, Zach." She said, kissing me on the cheek. I blushed, my red cheeks, reddening.

"Merry Christmas." Everyone cheered.
"Let's start opening presents!" Logan cheered, making me chuckle, "Okay, Logan. Calm down."
"Me first!" Logan grabbed his present and gave it to Lydia.
"Logan, this is beautiful!" Lydia exclaimed, pulling out a gold necklace. She kissed Logan, wrapping her arm around his neck, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, baby." She said, pecking his cheek.
"Me next, me next!" Daniel said, rushing to a box. He grabbed it, handing it to Emily. Emily opened it, seeing her favorite books, "Oh, my God! Baby, thank you!"
"You're welcome, babe." Daniel said, kissing her on the cheek. Dylan and Corbyn handed each other a present, laughing once they saw it. Matching sweaters.
"They said this was one of a kind!" They both complained, but ended up laughing. Jonah grabbed a box, giving it to Leia, "I hope you like it."
Leia opened it, seeing a gold ring. Jonah smiled, "It's a promise ring. Though, I hope I can propose to you someday."
Leia hugged him and I grabbed my box, "Here, Leilanie."
She opened the box, seeing her favorite band's hoodie. Of course, aside from us, she has another favorite band. "Oh God, baby–" She didn't finish her sentence, hugging me. I smiled, hugging her back.
"I love you, babe."
"I love you too, Zachy." We kissed as the other's cheer in the background. I smiled.

"You guys ready for the new year?" Corbyn nodded.
"So," Logan started, "what's your favorite memory this year?"
"Meeting Dylan, of course." Corbyn said. We all smiled as we looked at our partner. I looked at Leilanie, pulling her closer.
"Remember that time where we performed in our school?" Jonah started, "That was the first time that we bonded as, not only a band, but also as friends. I think it's just right to thank Leia and Sam because they were the ones who brought us together."
We all nodded in agreement, knowing it was true. Leia and Sam smiled at each other, then at us boys. We shared a few more memories before we started the countdown, "Alright, everyone, gather round! Get your partner! Twenty seconds til new year!"
"I love you."
"Fifteen seconds!"
"I love you too, Zach." She smiled.
"Ten!" We started to lean in, "Six, five, four," We closed our eyes. Our lips met as the clock struck twelve.
"Happy New Year!"
