The raising sun, flooded the practically empty apartment with morning light. The light slowly made it's way across the floor. It reached the sofa and caused a certain blond to wake up. Usui put his arm over his eyes to block the light but he knew that he wasn't going to be able to sleep in with all that light. So, he pushed the covers off, put on his glasses and started getting himself ready for the day.

"Onee-chan, are you done in there?"

"I'll be out soon, Suzuna."

"Alright."

Misaki stood in the shower with the warm water running down her body. She was up all night, trying to figure out what to do for New Years. What she did know was that she wanted him around. Her thoughts kept wondering from a happy New Year to something more romatic because of him. It made her want to ...punch herself. Turning the shower off, she walked out and toweled dried herself before looking in the mirror. There, she noticed her pink cheeks.

Looking down at his finger, Usui watched the blood trickel from the cut. He sighed at his sudden clumsiness while cooking and ran his finger under water before wrapping it with a band-aid. His thoughts were wandering to Misaki who he hasn't spoken to since yesterday and normally he would've texted/called her by now but he thought otherwise, considering...

"It's New Years Eve. She probably wants to just celebrate with Suzuna and her mother. Not with some Outer Space Alien."

The day has pass by in a blur and still Misaki hasn't thought of what to do. She was now lying on the floor of her living room, staring up at the ceiling. She turned her head to look at her cellphone.

"Why hasn't he called me?...UGH! Stupid Space Alien! ."

Suzuna opened the door and looked down at her older sister thrashing on the floor like some angry animal until she finally settled on her back again staring up at her phone.

"Why don't you just call him over?"

"...Why didn't I think of that! =D"

"Because you weren't really thinking."

"Hey!"

Usui looked at his watch, "Eleven o'clock...What a day."

He sat back in his couch and stared out at the winter city view from his window. New Years Eve never felt this lonely before. *sigh* "Maybe I should call her."

Just as he was going to reach for his phone, it rang. A bit surprised, he answered. "Hello?"

"H-Hey...Uh. D-Do you want to come over?"

Misaki kept checking her phone. "Why isn't he here yet?" She became more anxious when she saw that it was only two minutes until midnight.

Quickly, she went into the kitchen to check on Suzuna and her mom on the New Year preparations.

Pop! "Suzuna, where did we put the glasses?"

"Top cabinet."

Ring!

The doorbell rang and it was such a relief for Misaki. She tried to pace herself to the doorway but she couldn't help herself. She threw the door open and glared at Usui who was standing at the door, obviously out of breath.

"One minute 'til midnight! Are crazy?"

"The trains were delayed so I ran here. Sorry."

She was taken back by this. He ran here?

Usui looked down at Misaki staring at him in disbelief. Then, he heard the sounds of noisemakers and streamers popping from inside her house.

He leaned down and pressed his forehead to her's, "Happy New Years, kaichou."

With their faces so close and Misaki not pushing his away, he closed the gap between them and enjoyed the start of the New Year.

Merry Be-Lated Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody =D
