New Year's Day: Sami and Adrian- First footing.

The two returned home from a party. Neither of the two had drank too much. They were pretty sober and just having fun. They sat in the car and remembered the night filled with drunk colleagues, pranks and regrets. Sami and Adrian had stayed away from anything that they would regret and sat in a corner together. Sami was staying with Adrian because Sami's roommate, Tyler, had gotten a little tipsy and was flirting with everyone. Sami had steered clear of the possible train wreck and decided to spend the night with his best friend.

It was 1am and they two men were tired. Sami had picked up some essentials, while Adrian planned where Sami could sleep. After awhile, they came up with a plan. Sami would sleep in the guest room after Adrian put clean sheets and bedding on it. Before entering, Adrian had told Sami that he must enter first. Sami proceeded to ask why and got no reply. Adrian locked the car and walked behind the ginger haired Canadian. He foiled his own plans by unlocking the wooden door to his house he shares with his wife, and forcing a groggy Sami to enter first. Adrian locked the door behind him, realizing what he had done. He sat on his white, leather couch with his head in his hands.

"I messed up. It's going to be a terrible year. We're all going to die." Adrian seemed to be overemphasizing the fear and dismay he had, but Sami was confused.

"How? What? Why?" The taller of the two was questioning the past five minutes before realizing it had something to do with him walking in first.

"First footing. In Britain, it's traditional to have a tall, dark haired person enter the house fir on a New Year because it causes a year of bad luck otherwise." Adrian explained, his head still in his hands.

"Adrian, you should've brought Baron home because you're short and I'm light haired. Either situation is bad luck." Sami pointed out a flaw. Adrian was about to burst into tears. How could he have been so stupid to forget how short he is. There's a reason he's called Squirt and Short Stack. He left without a word to make Sami's bed, silently blaming his tiredness for the stupidity.
