Lando was sitting on the yacht he and Oscar had bought together a few months ago. They had just watched the sunset together, sitting in comfortable silence while the taller had rested his head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
As the bright orange colours slowly faded away to paint the sky in beautiful turquoise and that blue colour that made the Aussie’s eyes reflect so beautifully, Lando had started taking photos of his lover.
While Oscar hadn’t been too comfortable in front of the camera at first, he had quickly realised that it was one of Lando’s many love languages to take pictures of him and telling him about how he liked this one in particular because it showed the Aussie’s personality really well and how that one made his hair look heavenly.
So now he was relaxed and confident in his poses when the older told him to look a certain direction or when he snapped a random photo of him while he was lying down, he didn’t tense up anymore, giving the Brit the perfect photos, capturing the moment just the way he wanted.
They talked and had fun, the time passing almost too fast as both of them wished this year would last a bit longer – the year in which they had confessed their feelings for each other. But as the hours passed, the new year was coming closer, making them swell in beautiful memories of the warm morning sun tickling them awake when they were still cuddling in bed, of champagne celebrations with shared smiles that only they could decipher.
As they counted down the last minute of the year, they only had eyes for each other. The colourful lights of the firework erupting at the coast in the distance painted the sky in sparkles and fire, but nothing could beat the fire burning in Oscar’s eyes as he looked down at Lando.
They were staring at each other for a few seconds by now, not daring to move.
“Happy new year Lando” Oscar finally said, his lips twitching into a small and relaxed smile.
Lando couldn’t resist anymore, pulling the younger in at his hips, connecting their lips for a soft kiss. He could feel the small remote in his hand that reminded him of what he wanted to do, of what he and Oscar had been planning for a few weeks now. As he pressed the small button, his phone’s camera made a soft clicking noise as it captured their kiss from where he had positioned it, the fireworks framing their heads in the background.
They both pulled apart smiling at each other, the camera clicking again, the love visible in both their eyes as they started into a new year that they would spend together.
That evening, before they went to bed, Lando entered his insta account where he always posted the pictures he took. It had gotten awfully silent on that account as he hadn’t posted for a while.
He selected a few of his favourite photos from the evening, including the photos of him and Oscar kissing at midnight and how they had looked at each other afterwards. The first photo of the slide was one where Oscar had his phone in hand a well, taking a picture of Lando taking a photo as well. The younger would post his view of the photo on his account, making sure that every fan new about them.
His pondered about the caption he should chose for a little while before he simply decided for ‘Happy new year to my favourite person’ with a little red heart and a koala emoji behind it.
In the meanwhile, the Aussie had finished his post already, waiting for him so they could post at exactly the same time.
After he kissed Oscar goodnight, they both liked each other’s posts and went to sleep, pressed closely against each other, both dreaming about the next year.
While they slept peacefully, fans all around the world already went nuts at their posts, sending it to their friends, reposting like crazy and writing endless of comments, congratulating them or saying they had always known.
