A/N: Well, hope you liked this. Feedback is appreciated.
David had never really cared much for New Year's Eve celebrations. It was all merely an excuse to get plastered and make resolutions that would be forgotten two weeks into the new year.
However, this time the holiday was different. It was pleasant sitting at home – their home – with Nick, close together on the couch and waiting for the ball to drop on TV. The fact that Nick was slightly tipsy and rather horny also made for a much more enjoyable New Year's Eve than usual. Instead of moping around and being none-too-thrilled about the prospect of another year, David found himself pinned against his couch being kissed deeply by a handsome CSI whom he happened to be madly in love with. It reminded him of their first kiss, and his thoughts swam and swirled as hands searched and groped and the kiss grew more heated.
When they broke apart for air, they head the countdown begin – exactly ten seconds until the year 2007.
They kissed again, and although it was just as heated as previously, it also held a tenderness they both appreciated. As they made their way to the bedroom, they heard the cheers from the people on the TV, signaling that a new year had indeed begun. Nick fumbled with the remote, turning the TV off before he pinned David to the wall, continuing to kiss him. Somehow, though David wasn't precisely sure how, they eventually made it into the bedroom

Sometime later, when thinking was once again a priority, David mused that the holidays were much different with Nick around.
Different? No. That wasn't the right word. They were better.
He liked it that way.
