It was only a few minutes before midnight, here you are in the Mess Hall as everyone celebrates the oncoming new year. You were nursing a drink in your hands as you sat beside Levi.

Levi had been dragged to the celebration by a very drunk Hange, much to his displeasure. He was just sipping on a whiskey and waiting for an opening to leave. But since you were there…he guessed he could stay just a bit longer.

Everyone was watching the clock and just having fun despite the cold. Levi noticed that a few couple were starting to get closer together so they could do that kissing tradition that most did when the clock stuck midnight.

He glanced over at you, even though you weren’t his he often thought about pressing sweet kisses to your cheeks and maybe even giving you a few real kisses. ‘What’s the worst that could happen? It’s just a kiss.’ He thought to himself, but would he actually do it? Screw it. Might as well just do it.

Just then, a group of scouts started counting down from ten. Ten seconds until the new year. You were smiling and watching as everyone else watched the clock and counted down, but Levi’s eyes were trained on you.
