The boys reflect over their year.


Characters: Stanley Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Leopold 'Butters' Stotch

Stan, Butters and Cartman are 17, Kyle and Kenny are 16. I apologise for that pun in the title.


Happy Jew Year's

Token had a party every New Year's Eve and he always invited everyone from their elementary school class on the condition that there would be no fighting (especially between Craig's group and Stan's group). The party was always loud and had a lot of booze but any music was turned off to watch the ball drop.

Stan and Kyle had decided to go out into the back garden to take a breather because the air was too hot and stuffy inside, they were sitting on the steps leading down from the patio and onto the grass, an arm wrapped around each other.

"Thirty minutes until the ball drops," Stan said.

"I don't care," Kyle replied, "We'll hear them inside counting down."

"True," Stan agreed, pulling Kyle onto his lap.

Kyle kissed his boyfriend gently.

"We've had a good year."

"Yeah we have," Kyle agreed, "Even when you sneezed when we were kissing."

Stan blushed with embarrassment, "I said I was sorry. At least I didn't get very drunk and sing a flawless, complete rendition of Fairytale of New York at a party in the middle of August."

"I can't believe that you uploaded that to YouTube under the title 'My Drunk Boyfriend'."

"At least it hasn't got as many views as the boyfriend tag video."

Kyle nodded and pulled Stan into another kiss.

They broke apart when they heard the back door open.

"Here's where you guys are," Kenny said, walking over and sitting down with Cartman and Butters.

"What're you fellas doing out here?" Butters asked.

"Just taking a breather," Stan explained.

"It is really fucking hot inside," Cartman agreed.

"We were just saying about how we've had a good year," Kyle said.

Kenny nodded, "The road trip was fucking awesome."

"Kyle got into a fight for me," Stan smiled with pride, "That's seriously fucking badass, he won too."

"I've had my fair share of fights with Kyle," Cartman laughed, "That right hook, it hurts to think about."

"I'm not going to dispute that," Kyle smirked.

"This year's been a good year because I've still got my boyfriend," Stan smiled fondly, "He makes every day an adventure."

Kenny and Cartman made loud gagging sounds as Kyle pulled Stan into another kiss, Butters knocked his knuckles together and blushed at the PDA beside him. Stan and Kyle weren't shy about kissing around their friends and the other were perfectly fine with it as long as they weren't constantly attached at the lips.

"What are you guys hoping for next year?" Kenny asked.

"To still be with Kyle at the end of it," Stan grinned.

"As much as I agree," Kyle laughed, "I know that you're just trying to piss the others off. Honestly, I think I just want to have a year that's relatively calm. I'm sick of having something happen to us all the time."

"I can agree with that," Kenny nodded, he wasn't going to say that he didn't want to die for the year, only Cartman would understand.

"I want Craig to leave me alone," Cartman sighed, "But we know that it won't happen."

"We'll keep him off you as best we can," Stan frowned, "He's been taking it too far."

"I just want us all to stay friends," Butters said, "I have so much fun with you guys and I want us to stay together."

"Yeah," Kyle agreed, "Butters has good point, being with you guys is always fun."

They all stood up as they heard everyone else counting down inside and began to count down with them. As soon as they countdown ended, Stan and Kyle met in their most passionate kiss of the night like the New Year's tradition for couples told them to. Their tongues slid past each other and their lips moved together as they kissed under the fireworks released around town.

The five of them were ready for a New Year and hopefully it would be as great as the last.
