Magnus and Alec were watching the New Year's Eve special, live in New York City. It was frigidly cold, and Alec held tight to Magnus too keep warm.
Magnus kept eagerly checking the clock as the time drew nearer and nearer to the New Year. His latest glance read 11:58 pm.
"It's almost time." he whispered, his lips at Alec's ear.
"I know," Alec replied. "It's crazy how time goes by so fast,"
The announcers were beginning to count down.
59.
58.
57.
"I can't believe it's almost 2015." Alec added. Magnus rested his head on Alec's shoulder.
44.
43.
Magnus pulled his sparkly scarf tighter around his neck and pressed into Alec. "It's so cold..."
The couple was silent for a little longer until the last ten seconds approached. The entire crowd, including Magnus and Alec, were chanting the numbers.
6!
5!
4!
3!
2!
1.
The fireworks erupted and everyone was screaming "Happy New Year!"
Magnus had shoved his lips on Alec's at the very last second. Instead of trying to push him away and insist people would stare, Alec indulged into Magnus' kiss.
"Happy New Year," Alec whispered breathily. "I love you."
"I love you too, Alec," Magnus replied. "And here's to 2015," he finished, drawing Alec in for another deep kiss.
