It was just past sunset, and you and some of your friends were out by the beach for new years, hoping to catch the new years fireworks. The beach was crowded with couples and families, the cheerful sound of people fading into background noise.

You gazed at Leon, your best friend of 11 years, since you had both started elementary school. The sunset highlighted his sharp features, and his blond hair was beautiful in the sunlight.

"Enjoying the view?" Leon asked, blue eyes on you.
