The celebration for the New Year had changed drastically since Britannia had taken over. Most had adapted to how the Britannians celebrated the New Year, those who still celebrated the way the Japanese once did were highly looked down upon. Though over all the coming of a new year was a happy time. Especially for a pair who needed to take a break from the hectic events that had been going on.

"Hey Suzaku~!" The fourth princess, Kiana Li Britannia, said happily to the brunette. Suzaku blinked, turning towards her. He was fixing something Lloyd had asked him to finish, mainly because he wished to chase after Kiana's knight, Sammy. "Oh P-Princess...I didn't know you arrived so quickly to Japan..." Kiki pouted lightly, walking over and lightly 'bonking' him over the head. "I told you just call me Kiki!"

Suzaku smiled. He liked teasing her. Her reaction was what made him want to tease her more. It was one of the few things that made him smile these days. "Well to the others, you're just getting here remember?" He gave her a light smile. To the rest of the world, besides a very selective few, she had just gotten to 'Area 11'. It was slightly a part to keep her safe, since if Zero knew she was there he would more than likely make a move.

As he soon finished with his work, the two made their way out of Lloyd's lab. "So Princess, where would you like to go for the New Year?" His green hues shifted towards her. Lightly she tapped her forefinger against her chin. "Well I'm not sure, wai I said stop calling me princess!" Waving her arms around, she lightly hit him on the head. A soft smile crossed his lips, rubbing his head boredly.

The day went by, going to stores, eating, and just hanging out. By the end of the day they found themselves in a nice peaceful garden, just barely outside a few big cities. Sitting next to Suzaku, Kiki leaned on his shoulder while sipping on a large cup of Belgian white hot chocolate. "So why'd you decide to come here?" Looking up at him, she sipped happily on the hot chocolate. "Absolutely no reason."

There was a reason. He just needed to wait for the perfect time. Until then he would just pretend he didn't know. The two were bundled together under a large blanket. Though it wasn't snowing and no snow was on the ground, they were still cold. "So Kiki, why did you want to spend New Year's Eve with me?" He arched his eyebrow lightly. To him he found it odd, there were many people she could of spent it with, but she chose him. It made him curious.

The echoes of the city were soon heard, the moonlight radiantly glowing against them. Everyone was cheering. The live performances bringing more excitement to the area, not to mention that the New Year would be here within only 10 minutes. "W-Well my sister's busy...u-uh...anyone else I-I couldn't really get in contact with an-and.." Her brain was slowly giving out on her. Those were all true excuses, but any other reason just left her. If she had a list of reasons just for that question, they all went down the drain in a split second.

9 minutes to go. His eyebrow arched curiously. Though a list of questions popped in mind, he decided not to question. From the short bit he knew her, he knew there were some situations that were best not to push her into a corner about. This was one of them. Not the situation over all, just her reaction told him to step down and let her come to him. "Anyhoo, we've got about 6 minutes left. What do you want to do for the last bit of the year?" Thinking about it, a light blush crossed her cheeks.

"I'll let you decide!" Three minutes to go. The time was going by faster than they thought. So they would have to hurry up if they would do anything just before midnight. Lifting her free hand with his, he used the other to gently place down the cup of hot chocolate. "I have one thing, but I want to know if it's alright with you..." She blinked, not sure of what he was talking about. "Uh sure..." His lips curled up into a smile. "Okay, but we have to wait until one second before midnight. It'll be the last thing I do this year, and the first thing I do next year."

10... He leaned in closer, pressing his forehead against hers. "You sure?" 9... "I don't want to do it if you don't want me to..." 8... Her cheeks lit up, blushing from how close they were. 7... "I'm positive." 6... She gave him a light unsure smile, not sure now if it was something she would or wouldn't want. 5... His fingers laced through hers, holding her hand lightly as they heard the countdown from the city. 4... Hesitantly she gripped onto his as well, liking the secureness she felt near him. 3... "Kiana..." He began to say. 2... "I love you..." He finished, leaning closer so they're lips almost touched. 1. Just in that second before midnight, he kissed her. A soft tender and loving kiss.

One that lasted as the fireworks shot into the skies, everyone cheering happily for the New Year. Clutching tighter onto his hand, her heart began to race. A moment she had only dreamt about in her ditziest daydreams. She had always thought her deceased sister's knight was cute, but being near him and hanging out together slowly she found herself falling in love. As the first second of the New Year came to an end, she leaned out of the kiss blushing softly.

Opening his eyes, he blinked. "E-Eh...I'm sorry...I shouldn't of done that..." He scratched the back of his head lightly, feeling embarrassed and slightly heart broken. He didn't mean to get his hopes up, just the feeling of her lips against his made him feel right for the first time since Euphemia had died. "It's okay Suzaku..." Shyly she tightened her grip on his hand, not wanting him to pull away. "It's okay because...I love you too..." He perked up lightly, a red crossing his cheeks. "R-really?"

Her head gave a light nod, closing her eyes from embarrassment. Another smile crossed his cheeks, leaning in and giving her another soft kiss. "I'm glad..." Wrapping his arms around her small frame, he held onto her tightly. His actions caused a light squeak to escape her lips. "Heke? You're glad?" Curiously she looked up at him. "I'm glad because now I know the person I love returns my feelings for her." A soft blush crossed her cheeks, just nuzzling into him softly; the rest of the night spent watching the fireworks as he held her close in his arms.
