The Nostrade mansion, where you and Kurapika are helping Neon set up a New Years party. She has invited everyone in the school to come if they wanted to and the two of you were given the night off to celebrate it in your own way. "So, you're gonna be going to this party?" You asked Kurapika as you continue setting up the decorations.

"Yeah. Even though we're not going to work, I still think I should be here. Just to keep on eye on things." He replied.

"So you'll pretty much be undercover, like a spy."

"I guess, but only because I don't have anything else to do."

"Aren't Gon, Killua, and Leorio doing something?"

"I thought I would be working tonight. So I told them I wouldn't be joining them."

"I see..." After you were done blowing and tying balloons, you were done for the day. "Okay everyone, that't it with all I need to do. I'm going home now. Hope everyone has a great New Years eve." Everyone then said good bye to you as you left and you were off.


"That was nice." You said as you got out of the bath. You were back in your apartment and were happy that you had the whole place to yourself. You were blow drying your hair, when you hear a knock at the door. When you opened the door, behind it were your friends. All of them were dressed up as fairy tale characters. "What the heck?!"

"We're hosting a fairy tale murder mystery party and we need you to play the queen of hearts." (BFF2) said as she place a red heart shaped wig on top of your head.

"First off, it's not gonna be much of a mystery because of how the queen of hearts is always screming 'Off with their heads'." You say as you take off the wig. "Second off, I just want to spend New Years at home."

"No!" (BFF1) yelled. "You can't just have a lazy stay-at-home New Years. You need to go out and have some fun."

"Guys, you all know that I'm too much of a wall flower to even consider going out. And New Years in just the biggest let down ever."

"That's not true." Said (BFF2). "We all had a blast last year."

"And how was New Years morning for you?"

(BFF2) was silent, knowing well where you were going to. "... We still had fun."

"Did you at lwast make any New Year resolutions?" (BFF3) asked.

"No."

"Why not?!"

"Because they're pointless. Most of the New Years resolutions people make end up not being kept. Like how most people say they'll start working out, but will not go back to the gym after January."

"Come on, (F/n). You have to do something."

"Aren't you suppose to be with Kurapika, so you have someone to kiss at midnight?" (BFF1) asked.

"Aren't you suppose to be with Killua for the same reason." You say back.

(BFF3) started laughing as she said (Man, you are on fire with these comebacks tonight."

"Guys, I just want to spend New Years at home relaxing."

"Alright, fine. We'll leave. Happy New Year." And with that, your friends were gone.

An hour later you were in your most comfortable t-shirt and jeans when there came another knock at the door. " I will not play the queen of h-" You were saying as you were walking to the door to open it. But before you could finish talking, the very moment you opened the door was when someone placed a bag over your head and carried you out of your apartment. "Hey! What's going on?"

When the bag was taken off of your head, you were in a car with Gon, Killua, and Leorio. "You're spending New Years with us." Said Leorio as he drove away from the apartment building.

"Is that really a good enough reason to kidnap someone?"

"It was the only thing we could think of to get you out of the house." Said Gon.

"And who came up with that idea?"

"Right here." Killua said as he raised his hand.

"Of course..."

"(BFF1) texted my saying that you needed to go out and so something and that she couldn't get you to leave."

"They wanted me to dress up as the queen of hearts. I will not be the queen of hearts!"

"So we decided you would join us." Said Leorio.

"Take me home, now." You said simply.

"No way! This is New Years, so let's got hyped up." At the press of a button, the radio played Bon Jovi You Give Love a Bad Name. "Now let's go."

Leorio went into a bar, while you, Gon, and Killua stayed in the limo. Since the three of you were underage, they didn't let you in. "Man, this is boring." Said Killua. "I bet (BFF1)'s murder mystery party is better than this."

"This is why I wanted to stay home." You say.

"Just wait you guy. Once Leorio gets back. Then we'll have a lot of fun at the party." Said Gon.

"So we have to wait until Leorio is rejected by all the girls?" Killua asked.

"I was going to say, until he drinks himself stupid. Since I've heard you say he does that." You say.

"Yeah, that will probably happen too."

"What made him think he is good with the ladies. I mean, it's not like he's Barney Stinson."

"I don't know, he's always been like this. Even since we met him."

After a few more minutes of waiting, you decided that you had enough. "Okay, I can't take this anymore." You say as you try to get out of the limo.

"Wait, (F/n)!" Gon yelled. "It's New Years, you shouldn't spend it at home alone."

"Don't worry, Gon. I have another idea. You guys can come with me if you want."

"No, but thank you. I better stay here and wait for Leorio."

"I'm guessing that would be best. But have a great New Years."

"Yeah, you too."

As you were waving good bye to Gon, you got a taxi. You take the taxi to the Nostrade mansion. Inside where a lot of people you recognize from your school. You even saw Neon having fun talking with some of your classmates. "(F/n)!" You heard someone call from behind you. You turn around and saw that it was Kurapika. "I thought you would be spending New Years at home."

"That's what I was planning on to. But things got crazy with my friends and then your friends. Which ended with me deciding to just be here. With you."

"I'm really happy to hear that." He said as he pulled you into a hug.

"Now you have someone to kiss at midnight." Kurapika laughed a bit from hearing that comment.

"Alright everyone!" Neon yelled into her microphone getting everyone's attention. "We have least than 30 seconds left on the clock until it's the New Year. Let's all count the seconds down. And~... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy New Year!"

The very moment everyone scream for the New Year, Kurapika leaned in and kissed you. "So." He said once he pulled away. "What is your New Years resolutions?"

"I don't have any."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Many people always come with these resolutions thinking that's all they need. But just saying them isn't enough. You need to put these words into actions, and it can be difficult. It's hard to development good habits, or break bad ones. But one things about New Years is still true, change. Whether we want it or not, change comes with the upcoming year. It changes everything, even ourselves. I wasn't the same person I was last year, and I know I won't be how I am now when the next year comes. That's why I don't have any New Year resolutions. Because I don't need one."

"Very well said."


AN: Sorry I haven't updated in over a year. You wouldn't believe how busy I've been. With my senior year of high school, moving to a new state, and getting a job. Not to mention how bad this writers block was. I will try to finish this story.
