summary: how you spend new years with your beloved, that’s all. fluff!

a/n: i got carried away. it was going to be quick like the christmas one, done in an hour or so, but then i got carried away with zhongli’s and then kaeya’s and really everyone’s except thoma…sorry thoma….

kaeya

The room was cold but the wine on your lips was warm and your body almost felt like it might float away when you felt chilly hands on your cheeks. The coolness was not unwelcome, in fact it was almost more comforting against the lingering warmth of the wine.

You’d spent the better part of the evening just in each other’s presence, you’d even ordered some food from a local restaurant, making sure to order something to go with the wine. Hours later, you were still filling your glasses with that very bottle. 

Now here it is, mere minutes before the ball drops and, of course, you were watching huddled up next to Kaeya with one of your hands intertwined with Kaeya’s and the other gingerly holding your empty glass. Your eyes were trained on the television until Kaeya squeezed your hand.

“Look at me for a moment, love?”

“Hmm?” You turn your head to see Kaeya’s one visible eye looking at you with adoration. “What is it?”

Kaeya kisses the corner of your mouth as the countdown reached ten seconds. 

“You missed, pretty boy.”

Ten seconds later, upon the end of the countdown, a light excitement filled your chest.

“I was waiting,” Kaeya captured you lips properly, his hands moved to cup your jaw when he pressed against your lips before pulling away. “I was waiting so this could be the first thing of the new year. Nothing better than to share a kiss with the one I love, no?”

You pulled him back to you and kissed him again before cuddling back into his side. In the morning you might complain about the pain in your back and neck from the position, but for the time being you relished in the feeling of being with Kaeya and everything about him for the first hours of the new year.

zhongli

In truth, Zhongli had nearly missed the coming of the new year. His sleep schedule hadn’t allowed him to stay up this late, he’d already retired to bed, it was just another day. But, when you came to your shared bedroom and kissed him on his lips. 

“Happy New Years, Zhongli,” You smiled when your eyes met his bleary golden ones. 

His voice was thick with sleep but didn’t lack the usual softness, “Happy New Years, my dear.”

He sat up properly and you were sitting on his legs, arms around his neck. 

“I think it’ll be a good year,” You say, thumbs rubbing circles into his back slowly and drowsily. 

“I’m sorry I woke you up, I just wanted to make sure that your new year started off wonderfully.”

“I have doubts about that, regardless if you woke me up or not.”

“Hm? Why’s that, love?”

“Because either way, my new year starts off with the most precious person to me, my treasure. You.” 

You shared another kiss, his hands found your hair and ran his hand through it. 

“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my year with you.”

You settled next to him, both laying on your side facing each other. His arms encircled your waist and brought you even closer. He kissed the crown of your head and sighed contently into it.

“I would spend a millenia with you if it’s what you desire.”

thoma

Work was busy for Thoma, the end of the year always brings about a million errands, with a few extra after that of course. After coming home to you and settling after dinner, you sat with him on the couch, the television illuminated Thoma’s features and when he looked at you, the reflection of silver mixed in with honeydew, you couldn’t help but feel sentimental.  

When the countdown begins he leans in close, close enough to where his breath ghosted over your lips. “I love you.” Then as the countdown ended and muffled exclamations were heard from the screen his fingers ghosted over your cheekbone. “Can I kiss you?”

You are breathless, you slowly nod your head, “You didn’t need to ask-”

He captured your lips in his, it was soft and reminded you of the desert you had mere minutes ago. 

“Honeybun, there is nobody else I would like to spend this year and every year after with.”

Then he captured your lips in another kiss and the sounds from the television all seemed to fade away.

albedo

It hadn’t hit midnight yet, and you were sitting with Albedo on opposite ends of the kitchen table, the clock on the stove reading several minutes after midnight. You hadn’t had the time to turn on any countdowns or anything, instead you sat on different ends of the table, your hands at the center of the table, fingers interlocked.

“..I want to try your favorite coffee, even though I don’t like hazelnut…”

“…I want to comb your hair after your shower and dry it for you…”

“…I want to watch the rain with you on the porch next time…”

“…I want to rub your shoulders at night after a tense day…”

And it continued to go on that way, wishes for the new year you had for each other had faded into sweet whispers and sleepy, loving gazes from across the table. The wishes, however, had been clouded with sleep. They only seemed to get sillier, but not any less sweet. However it was the last one that Albedo whispered to you that made you want to melt.

His _ eyes looked into yours. He moved your hand which stayed in his, and brought it to his lips and kissed your fingertips.

“One more, if I may have the last one.”

“Mhm?

“I want to go to bed with you tonight,” his lips grazed over your knuckles. “Then I want to wake up with you tomorrow and every other day this year, and still retire to bed with you every night. I want to keep this.” 

diluc

To be honest, Diluc liked celebrating things but quietly. When was younger, he remembers the bustling holidays he spent with his father. As much as he looks back at those memories fondly, in those times he would’ve much rather spent his days quietly with the people close to him.

That’s how he ended up taking the day off for tonight and tomorrow, dismissing his cooks and housekeeping workers in his home and spending the day with you. For the first time in a while he’d let himself lay in bed with you early tonight, blanket draped over your shoulders and his. 

The warmth coming off of his body was almost enough to lull you to sleep, but you persisted. You wanted to tell your boyfriend “Happy New Year,” but Diluc’s mere existence, being in his arms, made you want to doze off.

“You don’t need to stay awake, you know,” the back of Diluc’s hand brushed against your cheek bone and lingered gently. His eyes were softer against the warm light of your nightstand lamp. 

“It’s okay,” You say, a yawn forcing itself past your lips without your consent. “I want to stay up for the next year.”

“Love,” Diluc brought his other hand to lightly trace on your side. “Your eyes are hardly open, we have the whole year.”

“Y-You’ll still be here when I wake up?”

“Of course, and even if I wasn’t in bed with you,” Diluc kisses your shoulder before guiding you down to the pillows to lay down properly. “I’m here with you all year, for as long as you want me to be.”

xiao

“Oh my god, can I open my eyes yet? You’ve been dragging me around for ten minutes.”

Your hand squeezed his as you skipping forward, “Be patient, we’re almost there.”

“And where exactly is there?” If you looked back you’re sure you would see Xiao rolling his eyes. 

“You’ll see! Come on!”

You dragged him a little further and then stopped so suddenly he nearly crashed into you. 

“Hey what was-”

“You can open your eyes now~”

And so he did and he was met with a sigh to behold. You were standing atop a hill, which makes sense considering the incline of the walk. The grass littered with a bunch of small flowers he was sure you would know the names of. Above all, fireworks went off behind you, all of which painted your face like a fine canvas. 

You were the sight to behold.

“What’s this?”

“Well,” you spun around holding his hands between yours, “You told me you’ve never seen fireworks so I thought I could bring you to the best spot! Isn’t is gorgeous? Don’t you like it?”

“Yes,” He said, but he wasn’t looking at the fireworks.

His eyes were on you.

You couldn’t help but blush and almost look away.

“I know it’s selfish, but might I ask you what your new year’s wish is?”

“Mine?” Your eyes widened and you quelled your heartbeat which wouldn’t slow now matter how much you wanted it to. “I already have it, right here. Being with you for another year would be-”

He captured your lips in his, dragging your hands to hold his shoulders and his hands found your waist pulling you closer. Despite the chill of the winter night, his lips on yours felt so warm.

When you pulled away you couldn’t help but ask, “What about you?”

“Me?” You wished you could’ve committed the smile he had right now to memory, so wide and beautiful. “I already have it, or well if you’ll let me have it…It’s you.”
