New Year

I held my newborn baby boy in my arms and looked over at Yukino, who was beaming with joy. The fireworks lit up the sky, and I felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over me. I had always been skeptical about the idea of starting a family, but now that I was a father, I couldn't imagine my life without my son.

Yukino noticed the look on my face and smiled. "What are you thinking about?" she asked.

I took a deep breath. "I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you and our son in my life. I never thought I would experience this kind of happiness."

Yukino reached out and took my hand. "We're lucky to have you too, Hachiman. You're an amazing husband and father."

I felt a warmth spread through my chest. I had always struggled with self-doubt and insecurity, but hearing Yukino's words made me feel appreciated and valued.

"I want to be the best father I can be," I said. "I want to give our son everything he needs to be happy and successful."

Yukino nodded. "I know you will. You're already a great dad."

I smiled down at my son, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms. I thought about all the adventures we would have together, all the milestones we would celebrate, and all the challenges we would overcome.

As the fireworks continued to light up the sky, I made a promise to myself, my wife, and my son. I would always be there for them, no matter what. I would be their rock, their support, and their biggest cheerleader.

And as I looked up at the stars, I knew that this new year would be the beginning of a beautiful journey. A journey that I was excited to embark on with my family by my side.

As the fireworks continued to light up the sky, another memory came back to me. A memory of New Year's Eve celebration with Yukino during our university days, before we were married.

I remembered how we had spent the night walking around the city, exploring new places and trying new foods. We were both so excited about our future, about all the things we were going to accomplish together.

We had talked about our dreams, our goals, and our plans for the future. We had promised each other that we would always be there for one another, no matter what.

And now, here we were, years later, fulfilling those promises. We had faced so many challenges together, and we had come out stronger because of them.

I looked over at Yukino, who was watching the fireworks with a look of wonder on her face. She had always been my rock, my support, and my partner in everything. And now she was the mother of my child, the person who had made my life complete.

"Remember when we used to celebrate New Year's like this before we were married?" I asked her.

Yukino turned to me with a smile. "Of course I remember. Those were some of the best times of my life."

I nodded, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over me. "It's amazing to think about how far we've come since then. And yet, in some ways, it feels like nothing has changed at all."

Yukino looked at me with understanding. "I know what you mean. We may have different responsibilities now, but we're still the same people we were back then. We still have the same dreams and the same love for each other."

I felt a sense of gratitude for Yukino's understanding and support. She knew me better than anyone else in the world, and I knew that we would always be there for each other, no matter what.

As the fireworks came to an end, we hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's embrace. And I knew that this new year would be another chapter in our lives, another adventure to embark on together.

As we were about to head back home, our son woke up and opened his eyes. He looked around with curiosity, and then, suddenly, he let out a loud burp.

Yukino and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Our son looked at us with a confused expression on his face, not quite sure why his parents were laughing so hard. I gently patted his back, hoping to soothe him back to sleep.

"I think he's trying to make us laugh," Yukino said, still giggling.

I nodded, grinning from ear to ear. "He definitely succeeded."

Our son let out another burp, and we both laughed even harder. It was a small, silly moment, but it felt like the perfect way to end the night.

As we walked back to our car, with our son cradled in my arms, I felt a sense of joy and contentment wash over me. I knew that there would be challenges ahead, but I also knew that we would face them as a family, with love and laughter to guide us.

"I can't believe how lucky we are," I said, looking at Yukino.

She smiled back at me. "I know. We have a beautiful family."

I leaned in to kiss her, feeling grateful for her love and support. Our son let out another little coo, as if to say that he approved of our affection.

And as we drove home, with the sound of our son's gentle snoring filling the car, I felt grateful for the life we had built together. A life filled with love, laughter, and the occasional burp.
