New years

Dream had been planning this party for months and it was turning out great. All of his friends could make it, George and Sapnap, Wilbur, Karl, the whole gang, and they were all enjoying the snacks and alcohol. Though it was underrated, New Years Eve was his favorite holiday, he was always a sucker for new beginnings and senseless partying. He turned off the music that was previously blaring and shouted into his crowded living room. "One minute until midnight, I'm turning on the live Ball Drop!" Everyone cheered as he slipped back into the crowd. This was always his favorite part of living in Florida, being in the same time zone as New York. The Ball Drop was an iconic part of New Year's Eve, and there was just something special about watching it live, he couldn't imagine anything else. After setting it up, he turned back to the snack table and grabbed some cookies. Less than a minute until midnight.

Dream was in the corner, munching on his food and looking out into the sea of chatter before him when he suddenly noticed Techno slip out of the crowd and stand next to him, hands in his pockets. "Techno, hey! Excited for New Years?"

Techno shifted awkwardly and muttered an enthusiastic, "Yeah!"

Laughing along, Dream asked, "Any New Years resolutions you're going to try out?"

"Uh, a few." He said. There seemed to be a slight tinge of color on his face, but it was hard to tell in the dark.

Noticing the increased chatter around him, Dream turned his attention to the TV. Mere seconds until midnight, seconds until a new year. "10!" He shouted, getting the crowd to chant along. "9!" His blood started racing in anticipation. "8!" Part of him noticed Techno wasn't chanting along. "7!" He started pumping his empty hand in the air. "6!" He wondered what this next year would bring him. "5!" He saw Techno's hands come out of his pockets. "4!" Techno seemed closer now. "3!" Dream stopped pumping his arm in slight confusion. "2!" He felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. "1!"

Around them were shouts and cheers of everybody greeting each other with happy new year while fireworks, both on TV and outside, burst in celebration. Dream didn't hear them. All of his senses were focused on one single sensation, the feeling of Techno's lips against his. The moment lasted just long enough that Dream closed his eyes right before Techno pulled away, leaving Dream confused and bit disappointed. When Dream opened his eyes, Techno was nowhere to be found, having evidently slipped into the crowd in the meantime. Almost immediately, Dream's attention was turned away, a few of his friends turning to talk to him excitedly about the party he threw and the upcoming year, with Dream only hoping his red face wasn't visible.

The party lasted a while longer, but Dream didn't see Techno again. Eventually people petered out and Dream was left alone in his house with a huge mess to clean up. He sighed to himself and started throwing cups and plates into a large garbage bag, slowly making his way through the house. Then he noticed a cookie on the ground near the snack table. His face flushed again when he realized that it was the same half eaten cookie he had dropped when Techno had kissed him at midnight. Dream slumped in a nearby chair, unable to proceed, and peeked at his phone to check his messages. None from Techno. Out of impulse, he sent a text first, a single emoji with a shocked and blushing expression.

For a little less than a minute Dream watched as his phone indicated that Techno was typing. When he finally sent it, the text was only a winky face. Dream burst into giggles, imagining how red Techno's face must be right now. His laughter dying down, Dream hesitated about how to respond. Sure, he had a good opinion of Techno, he at least liked him enough to invite him to his party, but he had never considered a relationship with him before. The worst thing was he didn't want to break Techno's heart by being too casual. Still, he wasn't opposed to the idea, and there was a bit of liquid confidence in him, so he ended up sending back a little pink heart.
