Key floated from the kitchen carrying a metal tray piled high with sugar cookies and two glasses of egg nog. The only light in the nearly empty room came from the strings of christmas lights strung across piles of boxes scattered across the floor. Minho admired the way the sparkling colours reflected off his boyfriend's pearly skin.

They had just moved in that morning and had had no time to unpack their boxes, but Key had insisted on some kind of decoration considering new years was tomorrow. "It will feel more festive," he had said.

And he was right.

The sofa cushion sank beneath the lithe boy's weight, then inflated back to its normal volume once its occupant was fully seated. "Drink?" he offered, holding out a glass of a thick liquid piled high with whipped cream and cinnamon.

"Yes, please," was the reply as a lightly tanned hand reached out to take the beverage. "To a new life together," he toasted, raising his drink to the others.

"To a new life together," Key confirmed, clinking their glasses together before taking a sip.

They each took in their surroundings: the windows bare of coverings, offering breathtaking views of the city below; the wooden floors smooth and well trodden; the paint with barely visible cracks; the cardboard boxes holding everything they owned; the teal blue sofa, their only piece of furniture.

Key set his glass down on the floor, tucking his knees up to his chest. "We can do this, right?"

Minho set his own glass beside Key's before pulling the latter closer, his head resting against his chest. "We can do anything," he confirmed.

Church bells could be heard chiming in the city square, signaling midnight.

"It's January 1st," he mused aloud, tightening his arm around the smaller boy's shoulders.

The only response he recieved was a light puff of air against his neck. A gentle smile graced his features as he gazed upon the sleeping boy in his arms. Brushing a lock of hair out of his eyes, he pressed his lips to a blemish free check.

"Happy new year, love."
