You couldn't stand large crowds, which is why you were surprised America dragged you to the celebration in New York City. Awkwardly, you shifted from each foot and couldn't help but notice that the watch the person next to you beamed a bright 11:59 p.m. So many of the lights around you were so distracting, you barley noticed when America wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you closer to him.
"A-Alfred." You stuttered, the man with the watch yelling wildly.
He was practically beaming when he looked down at you. "Dude, are you ready for this?"
Eyes frantically looking around, you moved closer to America. "I'm ready…" you whispered, "I'm ready for a New Year."
The muffled sound of screamed filled your ears as many people pointed towards the ball. "10!"
You looked around before finally locking eyes with Alfred. "9!"
He smiled brightly and lifted you off the ground. "8!"
You giggled, and said "I'm so glad you brought me here."
"7!"
"Because I would've been alone like last year."
"6!"
He chuckled, "Last year, you didn't know the cool dude named Alfred F. Jones."
"5!" The man next to you threw his arms up and yelled.
"Let's welcome the new year with big hearts!" Someone yelled form behind you.
"4!"
You could only giggle even more when his warm lips swept down to plant sloppy kisses on your neck. "3." He whispered in your ear, his breath sending shivers down your spine.
"2." You whispered back and pulled him away from your neck. Staring at him for a fleeting moment, you watched him smile that idiotic smile of his.
"1." He whispered loudly and put his lips to yours in a kiss.
People behind and around you were screaming, kissing and welcoming 2012, but they weren't enough to take Alfred away from you. Arms around his neck, he deepened the kiss easily, telling you how he felt this New Year without any words.
Pulling away, you could only bring yourself to lean your head against his and whisper and small, "Happy New Year."
