A/N: In two of my clubs on the Naruto forums, I'm hosting the same contest: writing a drabble on how a yuri or crack pairing celebrates New Year's. I can't enter because I'm the only judge and the prize is a oneshot written by me anyway, but I still thought I might write one for each, just for fun.
Shizune sighed as she finally got to sit down for, more than likely, the first time on December 31st- and it was nearly midnight. But, of course, considering it was a holiday for parties, Tsunade had just had to throw one, and when Tsunade throws a party, Shizune is automatically in charge of it while the blonde spends her night drinking and drinking.
Now that it was almost time for that famed countdown to the new year, people stopped needing things done and she was able to take a break from all the work. It was getting closer and closer to midnight and people began to find places to sit or stand, couples together and ready for that first kiss of the year, best friends ready to let out annoying shrieks, and then everyone could go home and start a year of the same activities and ignoring those resolutions.
It wasn't long before someone else joined Shizune on the couch, the younger brunette named Tenten.
"What, no one to share a kiss with?" she said teasingly, as the two had come to be friends in time.
"You know that with all the work I have to do, I'd never have time for something like that," Shizune replied with a small laugh.
Tenten laughed with her and said, "Hey, you're not the only one. I mean, it's not like I have anyone either."
"Really?" She was surprised. "I thought you and that teammate of yours- Neji, right?- were together."
The brunette snorted. "Yeah, right. I help him train sometimes, sure, but at the end of the day, dating is the last thing on his mind. Besides, I'm not exactly-"
But she was interrupted by the party guests beginning to countdown-ten, nine, eight- and Shizune wondered what Tenten was going to say- seven, six, five, four- and if it was anything along the lines of what she had been thinking- three, two, one- but before she could wonder anymore, everyone let out their shouts of "happy New Year" and all her questions were answered.
Tenten gave her her New Year's kiss.
A/N: I sort of liked how this turned out. But I really need to write something other than drabbles to add on this account.
