Currently heading back to your own room, you checked the Time: December 31, 23:49 . The Todoroki and L/n annual new year dinner has just ended, and you would be lying if you said that you didn't start looking forward to dinners like those.
"That was a lovely dinner," Shoto said.
"Didn't really expect that from them, though," He added while snickering.
"Right? What's with the sudden change of heart?" you shared.
"Not that you don't deserve happiness during new years eve, though."
Shoto turned to you before shortly smiling, feeling his heartbeat quicken. He'll be damned. You've been lovers for so long, and yet you still had that effect on him.
Opening the doors to your room, you grabbed him by the hand and brought him to your large balcony. You smiled at him before letting go of his hands. Making your way to your record player, with your long gown still flowing behind you. You played a beautiful slow song.
"Shall we dance?"
Shoto smiled and nodded as he took your hand and twirled you into his arms.
Both of you fell in step, letting the rhythm control your movements. All the scenery and the people around you dissolved. It was you and him, alone. The music feels like it's is traveling from your ears to your feet.
Your e/c eyes glistened, and a smile spread across your beautiful face.
Uncontrollable feelings surged through his body, and his fingers tingle in delight. His hand brushed across your cheek. His body was acting on its own, with no chains to hold him back from this pure paradise.
He drew you close to his chest, and you wrapped your arms around his neck.
His red and white locks fell over his eyes, like a curtain blocking out the sunlight. You desired to see those heterochromia eyes.
You began to withdraw your hand to brush away his hair, but his hand clutched onto yours. He carefully laid your thin hand on his shoulder. He delicately tucked your lock behind your ear, and your e/c eyes twinkled back at him in greeting.
Your lips went to his ear as you whispered ever so softly. "You know how to be romantic."
You set your head on his shoulder. Both of you continued to dance, too lost in the music to halt. Time passed as your feet moved in the steps of the foxtrot.
You brought your head up and sleepily opened your eyes. You leaned in and carefully planted your lips on his. He wrapped his arms around your neck in return and held you tight as the kiss continued.
We danced slowly, together, chest upon the chest, breath upon breath, until our hearts mended as one.
Suddenly, the booming sound of fireworks filled the air. You pulled away from the kiss and wondered why the world's noise was the one that filled your ears instead of the slow song. And why that dance of a lifetime had to end.
Gaping at Shoto's gorgeous state, you caught the emotion of awe in his eyes. With colored sparks reflecting from the gems that they call eyes. Each color and pattern bursting right in front of your balcony seemed like a mere background to the real view you were relishing.
"The view is pretty," Shoto commented.
You nodded, continuing to admire his beauty. "Indeed, it is."
"Happy New Year, Y/n." Shoto smiled, finally tearing away his gaze from the firework display. Looking at you he rubbed your rosy cheeks.
"Happy Anniversary, Shoto," You replied before nuzzling your face to his chest.
His heartbeat was so quick yet also calming. Closing your eyes, you rubbed small circles on his back. While humming the tune, the record player was playing. Shoto smiled and kissed your forehead. The feeling of you being protected beneath his arms. Your hot breaths creeping on his neck. Both of you just seemed to know exactly what the other wanted and didn't hesitate to satisfy them.
Although no words were exchanged, I think we both thought of the same thing,
"Ah, so this is love," you both simultaneously said.
