Nobody even read chapter 1 yet, but I decided to write about New Year's anyway. ^w^

Edward stared at the TV. He hadn't bothered turning it on, he had too much going on in his head anyway. He and Capell had hooked up on Christmas Eve, and spent the entire next day together. Edward was still amazed the whole thing had gone so well to begin with. He sighed again and leaned further into the couch. He closed his eyes and continued musing about it. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation on his lips and he opened his eyes.

"Capell!"

The ginger-haired man smiled and sat down beside him, putting his arm around the other. Edward frowned. "You're not the seme just yet." he said.

Capell smiled. "It's New Year's Eve, you know." he said, ignoring the comment.

"Yeah."

Capell leaned in to give Edward a kiss. "Let's go on a date, then." he suggested.

Edward chuckled. "Where would we go?"

Capell thought for a moment. "How about the movies? There's a restaurant right across the road, and Voyage of the Dawn Treader is playing..." Capell said, burnt-orange eyes sparkling. Edward chuckled.

"It's a date."

~IU~

"Here you go!" the waitress said, putting the food on their table. The two started eating at once. Capell eyed Edward every once in a while, and Edward did the same. Capell took a pen out of his pocket and wrote on the napkin, wanting to talk but not wanting to draw attention. He wrote it backwards for good measure.

"~keehc ruoy no ecuas evah uoY" ("You have sauce on your cheek")

Edward analyzed it and wrote upside-down (and backwards...)

"neht ,nikpan wen a rof ksa ll'I ?huH" ("Huh? I'll ask for a new napkin, then.")

"~retal flesym pu ti naelc ll'I .taht od t'nod ,oN" ("No, don't do that. I'll clean it up myself later~") Capell wrote.

Edward blushed. "...taht htiw krow nac I sseug I" ("I guess I can work with that…") Edward wrote. Capell smiled and went back to his food, satisfied with that answer.

True to his word, Capell took advantage of the darkness and licked the man's face clean. Edward was completely red but didn't resist. Capell made sure to take his time, teasing the older of the two. When Capell finished, he took Edward's hand and started running. "Narniaaaa!"

~IU~

"Awesome! The back rows are empty!" Capell said happily. He would get the best seats if it killed him. Edward looked around. There were a few people, pairs of friends and lovers, scattered about the room, though the few rows in the back were completely empty. Edward blushed, his mind thinking of all the possibilities... he truly wished Michelle had not given him that yaoi manga. As the movie started, Capell watched intently, fascinated. He almost let out a joyous squeal as the group entered the other world. Edward stifled a laugh at the sight. Such a kid... he thought fondly.

By the end of it, Edward was desperately trying to hold himself back. Capell had done everything from squealing like a fangirl to jumping out of his seat to crying both tears of sadness and joy. He was just so damn adorable; Edward wanted nothing more than to hug him. He was relieved when the credits started rolling. It was hard, being in a relationship that would be looked down on in public.

Before getting in the car, Edward looked around. Seeing that they weren't in anyone's range of viewing, he deemed it clear. He grabbed Capell and kissed him, holding him tight. Capell put his arms around the other and kissed back. Edward's hands started trailing down, but he stopped just short of it. They eventually pulled apart, flushed red and breathless, and slowly got into the car.

As they drove home, Capell found himself squirming in his seat. Edward had his eyes on the road, and only the road. Capell had always noticed the raven-haired man was always much more cautious at night, though never asked why. It wasn't the kind of cautious that comes from fear, but the man was always a bit uneasy nonetheless. Capell watched him a bit. The more he looked, the more attractive Edward was. Capell squirmed again. His black hair was decievingly soft, and his face was handsome... Capell frowned, wishing he could think of another way to describe it. His phone vibrated in his pocket, startling him. Vibrations were not helping him... He took the phone out.

"Aya sent you a message!"

He looked back at Edward for a moment, feeling guilty. He opened the message and read.

"Is it too late to fix it?" she had asked. Capell furrowed his brows and hit "reply".

"Yea" he answered. After a pause, Aya replied.

"R u 2 happy"

Capell's eyes widened. He looked at his companion and his face softened. He smiled and wrote back,

"Yeah. Will u forgive me?" he asked. Moments later, she replied, amazing the copper-haired man with her speed.

"I figured it out ages ago, ykno. U always liked him"

"Is that a yes?"

"Maybe. Gtg bye" she texted back. Capell sighed in relief, no longer having any regrets about the matter.

"Something wrong?" Edward asked, sparing a glance.

"Not at all." Capell replied.

~IU~

"What? Why are we at the lake?" Capell asked in confusion as Edward parked the car.

"Well, they're shooting up fireworks on the other side." Edward answered, blushing. It was dark, and the park was empty... Edward silently cursed that manga of Michelle's as the blush darkened. They walked down to the beach and sat down on the benches. It was high tide, so they couldn't sit as close to the water as they could during the day. Edward checked his watch. It was a quarter till eleven. The fireworks would start in just a few minutes, and would and at midnight. Capell leaned on Edward and the raven-haired man smiled. Much to the redhead's surprise, he picked Capell up and put him on his lap, wrapping his arms around the boy. Capell leaned back and rested his head on the other's shoulders, relaxed. Edward blushed at the feeling. They were so close... he found his hands wandering. His left landed on Capell's chest, and his right... Capell gasped.

"Ed? W-What're you doing?" he asked. Edward's right hand, no longer in the onyx-eyed man's control, pressed down, and Capell gasped. Ed started kissing Capell, going down his jawbone and leaving tiny bite-marks on his neck. Capell moaned. Edward came to his senses and stopped.

"S-Sorry."

Capell looked down, blushing. He took the other's arm and hugged it. "Don't be."

Edward smiled lovingly and gave Capell a kiss on the forehead. "Alright then. I won't... Hey, look!" he said, pointing. There went the first firework. Several others followed, lighting the night sky with a vast array of beautiful colors. Pinks, greens, blues, yellows, reds, purples, and more. Like a flower of fire, bursting in the sky, shining brightly. Edward and Capell held each other tightly, lovingly. Ed smiled and raised the man's chin. Capell closed his eyes as the raven-haired man leaned in to kiss him. Their lips met, and they took it in. Warm and soft, tender and gentle, loving and pure. They pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes, smiling.

"Happy New Year, Capell."

"You too, Edward."

(And then they fell asleep in Edward's bed in each other's arms. (No, they did not do THAT... yet.)) This chapter was short, but very heart-warming and relaxing to write. I hope you felt the same reading it. ^^ What holiday comes after New Year's? =o
