The party was fun to an extent- you enjoyed being around the others but... It got to be too much as usual, the loud music and varying conversations was overwhelming, making it feel like your lungs were caving in and your ears were going to explode.There was one mutant who realized your discomfort almost immediately, his yellow eyes catching sight of you off in the corner of the room.In a disorienting 'poof' you had been grasped gently by two blue three-fingered hands and teleported outside.The sounds coming from inside were in the background now, the crisp fresh air filling your lungs and the less intense atmosphere helping you wind down into a feeling of relief, Kurt politely moving out of your personal space now."Feel better?""Yeah... Just- not really good at loud environments, y'know?"A few heartbeats pass in the silence, not much conversation needed. It's New Year's Eve... A time to be celebrated. Part of you expected Kurt to head back inside to the others but instead he stayed out here with you, he seems content to just watch the stars."You... Don't have to stay out here with me.""I want to."A shiver passes through your body from the cold winter breeze, there's a slight shuffling and he wordlessly drapes his jacket over your shoulders, you didn't know quite how to react to the gesture- to the way he looks at you with such fondness. It's always so easy with Kurt, his feelings seem clear as day whenever your eyes meet his.His jacket is so warm and his scent lingers on the plush fabric, you tug it close to yourself to break off the wind that chills you to the bone."Thank you...""No need to thank me. Isn't it tradition to kiss someone at midnight?"The question caught you off guard until you realized that everyone was counting down now, able to vaguely hear their voices in the house from outside.His eyes never leave you as you simply give a small nod, his hand resting against your cheek while his tail sways blissfully."May I?"You don't need any convincing- there's no one you'd rather kiss than the gentle blue mutant, one with a heart of absolute gold. It was no secret you two had been pining after one another, yet neither of you ever truly made a move."Yes."His lips meet yours just as the words 'One!!!! Happy New Year!!!!' ring out in the background, warm and tender just as you expected it to be, his tail loosely draping itself around your waist which earns a giggle from you.The kiss is broken and his tail continues to brush up against you lightly, the brightest smile possible on his face- sharp teeth in clear view."That was the perfect way to start a new year... I like this tradition.""I think I like it too."
