New Years Special
Normal P.O.V
Lucy sighed and leaned against Gray's side. "You know..." She murmured softly. "This feels really cheesy, kind of like the scenes in romance
novels." Gray laughed. "Yeah, but I don't really wanna go to the New Years party at the guild, and you don't either, so... just ignore the fact that
if anyone caught us, we wouldn't be able to show our faces for weeks." Lucy giggled and stared at the fire the were sitting next to. The
heating had gone out at Lucy's apartment, (She'd forgotten to pay her rent so the landlady turned off her heat,) so she'd lit a fire and they were
sitting on the stone hearth with a blanket. The party, which was going on at that moment, was too loud and frisky for them. Besides, the two
of them had had their fair share of tricks over the year. On each holiday, the guild would find some way to catch Gray and Lucy unaware, such
as locking them in a closet on Halloween and scaring them so bad that they screeched and hugged each other like the world was about to
end. (That had humiliated Gray for weeks.) So this year, the couple decided to just have a quiet night. Gray looked at the clock and checked
the time. 11:30 PM. "Thirty more minutes till the New year." Lucy said for him. He nodded. "I think that it's time we thought about our
resolutions." She muttered before humming in thought. Gray was silent. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "What's up Gray?" He
looked at her and grinned. "It's nothing." His hand went to his breast pocket and stayed there, moving as if touching something. Curious, Lucy
grabbed his hand and pulled it out of his pocket. "H-hey!" He complained. From his hand swung the pendant that she'd gotten Gray for
Christmas the year before. She smiled. "You still carry this around? I would've thought you'd lost it by now." He frowned jokingly. "Of course I
kept it with me! It's your first present to me!" He'd gotten it when Lucy had taken them to all the guild members. Out of embarrassment, she'd
gone to Gray's house last, only to be pulled inside for a kiss. He'd said that he'd forgotten to get her a present and that the kiss was a
replacement. Personally, Lucy liked it more than anything she'd ever gotten before. She shook her head and jerked herself out of her
thoughts. She looked at the clock again. 11:42. 'Wow, time really flies, doesn't it?' She thought to herself, also referring to last years
Christmas party. It didn't seem that long ago. She placed her head on her boyfriends shoulder and they sat in silence for a while. After some
time, Gray murmured,"Hey Lucy?" She looked at him.. "Mm-hm?" Gray went a little bit red and placed a small wrapped box in her hands. She
looked a bit surprised. "B-but we gave each other Christmas presents already, right?" He smirked at her. "You're my girlfriend, I can give you a
New years present if I want." She blushed and gently punched his arm before opening the box. She lifted the lid and her mouth opened in
astonishment. He smiled at Lucy. "I get it that you like it." She started to laugh. Gray cocked his head to the side. "What is it?" Lucy giggled
and pulled another small box out of her pocket. "I got you something too." She answered. Curious, he opened the box. He snickered. "Great
minds think alike! Never actually thought that it was true." Lucy placed his necklace around his neck as he clasped hers on. They then put
the necklace pendants together. Lucy's white diamond yin piece glittered next to Gray's black opal yang piece. Gray touched his forehead to
her and Lucy's heart fluttered. "Lucy, you got me a present too... you hypocrite..." She smiled and replied softly, "I was going to give it to you
when it was 12:00, but it doesn't matter..." His hand touched her chin and tipped her head up to his. They were inches away. "Gray, I love
you..." "I love you too Lucy." Their lips met. 'Bong-bong-bong-' The clock struck twelve. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Voices rang out on the street.
They pulled away. "Happy New year." They said in unison. The moonlight reflecting off the snow shone through their window as the couple
kissed again.
