You were sitting on the love seat looking at your phone, wishing you were anywhere but here.
How the hell did your friend talk you into coming to this damn new years eve party? You should have known she’d ditch you after her first shot.
You hated the music they were playing, it was all beats and no fucking lyrical value, not that anyone dancing was even listening to lyrics.
You glance up and see almost everyone on the makeshift dance floor was practically dry humping.
You roll your eyes and look at your phone.
11:50
Might as well just go home, you didn’t want to stick around and see everyone around you kiss at midnight.
Just as you put your pone back in your pocket and went to stand up and leave someone tripped over your your foot.
‘Oh shit, sorry.’ you apologize as the guy balanced himself.
‘It’s fine I wasn’t paying attention, just trying to get out of here.’ he sighed.
‘Same here, you were going the wrong way though, that way leads to bedrooms, the exit is this way.’ you said pointing the right way.
‘Oh, how embarrassing, you wanna lead the way?’ he laughed.
‘Sure, let’s get the hell out of here.’you said as you lead him out of the dreadful house party.
Luckily the front yard was empty, and the noise wasn’t nearly as deafening.
You took a deep breath a fresh air and felt some of the tenseness leave you.
‘So much better.’ the guy sighed as he stretched.
You take the chance and get a good look at him, he was a dirty blond and he had very cute and boyish face, his ears stuck out a bit too, in a cute way.
As you looked at him you notice he was also studying you.
‘My name is Peter, and your’s?’ he asked.
‘(Y/N).’ you responded.
‘Wanna go for a walk? We might see some fireworks on the way.’ he offered.
‘Sure.’ you replied.
Peter offered you his arm, and with a small smile you hooked your arm with his then you two began your walk.
‘So what made you want to leave the party?’ he asked.
‘Well my friend basically twisted my arm to get me here then she ditched me, and i didn’t want to watch that party become an orgy.’ you answered.
‘I’m sure it wouldn’t get that bad.’
‘Did you see the same dance floor I did?’ you smiled.
‘Fair enough.’ he laughed.
‘What about you Peter, why did you leave?’
‘My best friend and his boyfriend didn’t want to wait til midnight and it was either leave or stay and watch.’ he shuddered.
‘Oh yeah I’d bolt too.’ you agreed.
As you walked you spotted a bench under a tree.
‘Wanna sit down?’ you asked.
‘Sure.’
You both sat down, knees touching since it was a pretty small bench.
‘So, can I assume that you didn’t have a date for the party?’ he asked.
‘What gave it away?’ you asked in mock surprise.
‘No need for the sass.’ he chuckled.
‘What about you? No special person to kiss at midnight?’ you asked.
‘Well no one at the party.’ he sighed.
‘Is your girlfriend long distance?’ you asked, moving a bit away from him, you had been reading this whole thing wrong.
‘No girlfriend.’ he smiled moving closer to you.
He pulled out his phone, he had a countdown going.
‘Let’s count it down.’ he grinned.
‘OK.’ you blushed.
‘Five.’
‘Four.’
‘Three.’
‘Two.’
‘One.’
Then he leaned in and kissed you, as gentle as he seemed to be, lips soft and smooth.
Before you were ready he pulled away.
‘Happy New Year.’
