Chapter 85 - New Years

"Brody! Get your butt out here, we're all waiting for you - again!" Ashley yelled.

Adrian came into Brody's room and saw that he was still getting dressed. "You know for a New Year's Eve party, we're meant to arrive before the ball drops, and not after..."

"Ha. Ha. Ha." Brody replied deadpanned as he put his jeans on. "Will you pick out a shirt for me?"

Adrian walked to Brody's wardrobe and lingered over all the items of clothing. After his gaze lasted longer on one particular shirt, he picked it out and handed it to Brody.

"To go with your eyes." Adrian told him.

When Adrian passed him the shirt, Brody pulled Adrian's body closer to sneak in a quick kiss. "Thanks."

With the shirt placed onto Brody's body, Adrian helped Brody by slowly doing the buttons up for him. "Anytime."

Brody noticed the little smirk from Adrian, and he couldn't help but smile back at him. "I feel like it's a tradition now, for us to make out for 10 minutes before we actually leave to go out together. What do you say we continue our new-old tradition?"

"I like that very much." Adrian whispered with a grin on his face.

However they were quickly interrupted as Ashley barged through the door, stopping them kissing before it got out of hand. "Keep it in your pants guys, we can't pretend like we don't know what's going on in here. Now let's go."

"Spoil sport."

Adrian laughed when he witness Brody sulk. Knowing that Ashley was right, Adrian pushed Brody towards the door. "Time to party."

But before they left, Adrian unbuttoned Brody's shirt slightly to reveal the silver locket he proudly wore on his chest. "Okay, now we're ready."

With one more thankful kiss, Adrian and Brody quickly chased after their friends.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The party was run by the local council. It was a street party in the middle of night, with hundred and hundreds of people at different ages celebrating together.

Free drinks, free food, and free music, everyone got to carelessly enjoy themselves and celebrate together as a community.

The group of friends quickly separated as they joined their little cliques they were a part of since the school started.

Adrian and Adam joined the rest of the Ravens as they gathered together for a celebratory drink.

"Here's to the New Years!" Callum shouted as they all clinked their glasses together.

With a round of cheers, the group drank down their shot glasses and roared with more excitement. As Adam refilled their glasses, Adrian's eyes twinkled as he passed one to Coach Taylor.

"Come on Coach! We get to finally see you let your hair down!" Adrian laughed as he ushered the older gentleman to join them.

Taking it like a champ, Coach Taylor downed the shot before everyone else even had their drink. "Enjoy the party lads."

"Where you going, Coach?" Adrian asked.

"I can't stay for long, the wife is waiting for me back home, and the baby is making her have a craving for ice cream. I just wanted to see my team before the year ends." Coach explained.

"Here's to Coach and baby number 2!" Adrian immediately cheered as they all drank together.

Coach Taylor appreciated the gesture as all of the team celebrated his baby miracle. He pulled Adrian aside for a moment to talk to him privately. "Take it easy champ, I don't want my superstar's liver taking a beating
