Welcome to 2017!

Let's kick this year off with some new fanfics with me contributing with this lovely work. This work is will be on the random yaoi couples I just absolutely adore on certain holidays that I am well knowledge of... So forgive me for any arrogance or insensitivity. I'm be doing one couple per holiday- So this fic unlike the others will only be updated on Holidays only! Just random little drabbles that don't connect with one another and are either original or AU. Nothing special.

I think we can all agree that it's just fun seeing what couple does what on what holiday. X3

Enjoy!

"Come on Rogue! Hurry or we'll miss it!"

"I'm hurrying... I'm hurrying..."

It was a couple of minutes to midnight and Rogue Cheney found himself in the cold bitter night air and took another deep sigh as he pushed his tired and burning legs up the snowy hill, the gentle wind fluttering through his dark hair while his boyfriend, Sting Eucliffe, ran up ahead of him. Excited, bubbly practically jumping all over the place, leaving Rogue in the dust to sigh.

Where does he get all this energy?

He barely had time to register when the blonde suddenly appeared right before him smiling blue eyes locking onto startled red ones of the ravenette when he suddenly grabbed a hold of his arm and started to pull the startled man up the hill, practically dragging him.

"Comeoncomeoncomeon!"

"I'm going as fast as I can," Rogue breathed, struggling to keep up. "Sting! Please slow down!"

"I can't! We have to get to the top! And fast!"

"I'm sure we'll see the fireworks no matter where we are, they're aren't going anywhere," Rogue tried to reason, though his shortness of breath made it a tad difficult, "Why is it so important that we reach the top? And why couldn't we have brought the kids?"

"You'll see baby." Came that mischievous reply. "You'll see."

"Sting- You know how I feel about games-"

"You'll love this okay? I promise."

Rogue sighed in defeat, body going slack so as to allow Sting to drag him to the top of the hill, he was cold, even under the heavy layers of winter clothes he wore he shivered and wanted nothing more then to see what the blonde wanted and then go home before he was greeted with a beautiful sight. He could see the whole town of Crocus from the hilltop, the lights sparkled like flecks of glitter from Wendy and Frosch's countless arts and crafts projects, it truly was breathtaking. He blinked as he felt himself being tugged toward an old willow tree and found himself facing the most romantic picnic he had ever seen. Hidden by the tree's low hanging branches though they were still parted enough to allow the view of the city was a large red blanket that was surrounded by a circle of shimmering candles.

"We're... Sitting out here?" Rogue questioned, touched at the romantic gesture but confused all at the same time. "In the dead of winter?"

"Yep." Sting smiled, nudging the ravenette forward. "I wanted to make this night super special."

"How is this New Year's special then any of the other New Year's we celebrated?" Rogue asked as he was brought to the blanket and urged to sit down. "We could've still celebrated with the kids-"

"No!" Sting cried, startling Rogue. "I'm sorry but- I just- I just wanted it to be between me and you- Between us-"

"Us?"

"Us." Sting nodded, hands clasping around Rogue's mitten cladded ones and pulling him closer just as the city's lights started to shut off. "This is about us."

"What?"

TEN

"I wanna talk to you about something," Sting bit his lip, "Something really really important."

"Oh?" Rogue's eyes grew wide. "About what?"

"About us."

NINE

"What about us?" Rogue leaned in. "Is something wrong?"

"No- Yes- I don't- No! Wait yes!"

"Sting... You're not making any sense-"

EIGHT

"I know I know! But it's important! I promise!"

"You... Are you..." Rogue could feel his whole body shaking. "Are you... Are you breaking up with me?"

"What?"

SEVEN

Rogue attempted to stand up and pull away only for Sting to pull him back, grip tightening. Rogue could feel his heart shatter and he wanted to run. He wanted to hide. He knew it he just knew it! Tonight was going to be 'special' all right.

"Rogue- What are you talking about?"

"I... I don't satisfy you anymore... Do- Do I?"

SIX

"What?" Sting was shocked. Why would he talking like that? "No... Baby- That's not it."

"Then what?" Rogue growled, livid. "What is it then? Huh?"

"I told you it's about our relationship!"

FIVE

"You don't find me attractive anymore, do you?" Rogue demanded, standing up. "Is there someone else?!"

"Wha- No! Nothing like that," Sting exclaimed, hands fumbling around the front of his winter coat, "It's better then that! Honest!"

"What's is better then 'breaking up' with me?!"

FOUR

"Rogue, I've known you since the day we first came to the orphanage-"

Rogue blinked, eyes wide. "Wha-"

"We both lost his fathers to tragic circumstances- Met other kids who had similar circumstances," Sting continued, ignoring Rogue's response, "We wallowed in the dark, formed a family that gave comfort before finally finding the light- In a man named Hayden, another man named Valerian and then each other-"

"Sting-"

THREE

"But I found my light... I found my light in you," Sting's face broke into a watery smile pulling both hands out of his coat pockets, "I can't be any happier."

He dropped down onto one knee, held out a small black box and opened the lid revealing a beautiful silver band decorated with black crystals and large ruby in the middle. Rogue could feel his heart beating wildly, hands clasped themselves over his mouth, his eyes wide and shimmering with unshed tears. Was he-?

"Sting..?"

TWO

"Rogue Cheney... Will you marry me?"

Rogue was speechless- To say the least- He didn't know what to say! His whole body trembled, not from the cold, tears slipped and fell to the ground. Sting fidgeted from his position on the ground.

"So... What do you say... Rogue?"

'Please say yes.'

ONE

"Yes..."

"Wha-" Did he hear right? "Did you say-"

"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S

Sting gasped when he was suddenly toppled backwards, back slamming against the frozen ground from Rogue throwing his whole weight against him, tackling him to the blanket, chilly lips capturing his own into a hot searing kiss. Sting was shocked at first but he nonetheless melted into the kiss, dropping the box onto the blanket, allowing the blonde to wrap his arms around the body that straddled and trapped him against the frozen ground. His hands wandered lower as the fireworks exploded into the night air high above them not only celebrating the new year but to celebrate the birth of a new couple.

This is actually part of the Puzzle Pieces series though it takes place sometime after 'Nesting Dolls', an upcoming story and before 'Complusion'. While it plays no important part to the actually series, I'm sure there were a lot of you faithful followers, or die hard Stingue fans who was just curious on how Sting proposed to Rogue that ended them up married. I'll admit- I was too.

I was too.
