Seconds Spent

DISCLAIMER: Don't own Newsies. Nor do I claim to.

SLASH BlinkxBumlets-Blinklets

You know that time? That one minute, that one separation between morning and night, today and tomorrow, this year and next year. When the adrenaline pumps so hard you feel you're about to explode? A lot of things can change in those seconds.

New Years Eve, 2007

The smell of alcohol and sweat lingered heavily on the bodies around me. . Times Square was alight with color, and sound, and people everywhere. The colors swirled together as the ball began its descent and people began to count down to the new-year. Softly at first, then growing in volume; the excitement spreading. The air was charged. The ecstasy was growing. I could feel it.

Five….The world spun and danced in front of my eyes

Four….Hands were held

Three….faces around me shimmered

Two….Excitement

One….

Time seemed to slow. All around me couples were kissing. I should be kissing someone too. I saw Bumlets. I pulled him to me and kissed him long and hard.

When I let go he looked at me questioningly, "Blink…?"

Holy shit.

I just kissed a boy.

And I wasn't even drunk.

A/N: As you can probably tell, this is my first slash story. I would GREATLY enjoy some feedback good AND bad. Happy new-years guys!
