11:55

Brendon and Ryan were standing on the balcony, waiting for the clock to pass midnight to watch the fireworks light up the sky above them.

11:56

The time passed by slower than it usually did. Both of them standing silently next to each other. It was nothing unusual about that since neither of them were the kind of person to talk a lot all at once.

11:57

Ryan looked down at the shorter one of the two. Brendon followed along and looked up at the older one. Their gazes lock and Ryan puts his hand on Brendon's shoulder. Brendon blushes slightly at the touch. The boy's remaining hand finds its way to Brendon's back and pushes the two of them closer so they're standing facing each other.

11:58

Brendon's heartbeat starts racing. He knew exactly where this was going. He slowly put his arms around the taller one's neck. At that point, their faces were merely inches apart.

11:59

"Will you be my New Years kiss?" Ryan whispers.

Brendon is unable to breathe for a second. He slowly nods and whispers a soft yes. Ryan moves the hand from Brendon's shoulder to his cheek and sweeps away Brendon's hair from his eye. Brendon blushes as the hair is removed from his face, making him able to see Ryan clearly with both eyes.

0:00

The fireworks start shooting up behind them, but the two of them are too caught up in the moment to care. Ryan leans down, meeting Brendon's lips. The feeling of their lips pressed against each other felt like an eternity. It was like it was the one thing both of them had been waiting for their entire lives. After what felt like years, they pull away, foreheads resting against each others locking eye contact once again. Brendon leans in for another kiss. When they finally break apart, Ryan is standing behind Brendon with his arms wrapped around the younger boy watching the last fireworks light up the sky.
