Canada sighed happily as he watched the ball drop in New York. Usually he went to bed on New year's, (Because he was an introvert damn it parties were exhausting), but tonight he decided to stay up and watch something on the news. He chose to watch New York ball drop because sometimes he could see his brother in the background, and wondered if he could blackmail him again for being drunk on T.V. (Mostly for fun.) As he took a sip of his hot chocolate, he heard a knock at the door. Surprisingly, it sounded rather hesitant. Curious, Canada walked over to the door, and was shocked to see his brother nervously standing on his doormat.

"He bro, um, do you mind if I spent New Year's with you?" America asked with a grin.

"Uh, sure?" Canada asked as he stepped back letting his brother in. "How come you aren't in New York like usual?"

"I didn't feel like it this year." America said with a shrug. "I feel like I could celebrate this New Years with family this year, seeing how this year went."

"So, my brother, the party animal, has become an introvert?" Canada joked as he walked into his kitchen.

"No way dude, I could never stay in my house for ever and ever." America laughed as he followed his brother into the kitchen.

"I don't stay in my house forever." Canada protested. "By the way, do you want my maple syrup hot chocolate?"

"With the whip cream?" America asked happily. "Hell yes."

"Knew you would say yes." Canada said as he pulled a mug off his shelf. "How come you were hesitant about knocking on my door? Usually your fist goes through the door."

"It does not!" America scoffed. "And I thought you were asleep by now.

"And you still knocked on my door?" Canada asked with a raised eyebrow.

"If you didn't answer I was going to leave." America said with a shrug as Canada handed him his mug.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say." Canada laughed as they walked into the living room.

"Hey, just thank your lucky stars that I'm not like Russia's sister." America said as he sat down on the couch.

"She's is rather scary, isn't she?" Canada said as he watched the T.V. again.

"I still don't know how she gets by Russia's defense's." America mused. "Russia doesn't even know."

"If you ever did that to me you would get a hockey stick to the face." Canada said.

"I'm sure I would." America snorted. "Remember that one time when we were kids and I snuck down to the kitchen to get a glass of water?"

"You mean the time I hit you with the broom over the head?" Canada asked with a snort of laughter.

"Dude, I had a bruise on the top of my head for weeks." America chuckled. "I started crying and England came down to check on us. I remember he didn't believe me at first that you had hit me."

"Well, I thought you were a thief." Canada shrugged.

"What about that time you hit me with the Wii remote? America said as he threw a pillow at his twin.

"That was your own fault." Canada protested as he blocked the pillow.

"I was sitting on the couch behind you, and you were playing tennis on Wii fit. I leaned forwards to get a better look and you rammed the thing into my face at full force dude!" America said with a raised eyebrow.

"I said I was sorry!" Canada said as he burst into laughter.

"Only after you finished the match. I remember what you said!" America whined. "Sorry Al, I just need to finish the match, then I'll help you." America mimicked. "While I was on the ground seeing stars you were still playing the match."

"And I beat your high score." Canada said with a grin.

"Yeah, pour salt into the wounds." America teased.

"Hey, the ball is about to drop." Canada said as he noticed the crowd getting excited.

"Yeah, you're right." America said happily as he watched the fall.

"3…2…1…HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO!" America shouted as he hugged his brother.

"Get off me you dork." Canada said as he playfully smacked his brother over the head.

"You wound me brother!" America said as he pretended to die. As he fell, he smacked his head on the coffee table. "FUCK, THAT HURT!" America hissed as he clutched his head.

"Ouch, that smarts." Canada said as he tried not to bust out laughing. "First injury of the year! Congratulations Al!"

"Don't make fun of me!" America whined. "Could you get me an icepack please?"

"Sure, but if this is going to be the start of your New Year I'm worried for you." Canada joked as he walked to the kitchen to grab the icepack.

"Oh god, I hope not!" America whined.

A/N: Happy New Year everyone. YAY! WE SURVIVED. Americans have our own traditions of parties and watching things drop like the rest of the world. By the way, I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it, but I'm a twin! That's right, I have a twin sister! (In some ways, she's my best friend and the most annoying person on the planet.) That said, the Wii thing actually happened between my sister and I. I was the one who got hit in the face, and yes, she did not stop playing. I just want to say thank you to all of the people who read my story. This past summer, I had just over 500 followers, and now I have over 650. That's over 100 followers in such a short amount of time. I'm just blown away by this. I just wanted to thank you all for letting me get this far, because you are the ones who motivated me to keep going. This story is for all of you! You guys are the best. Keep being you guys. So, what are you doing for New Years?
