“Happy New Year, Sei-chan,” she greets as she looks up at him, eyes twinkling. Her head tilts and she only smiles at him sweetly, as if she’s expecting something.

Akashi smiles, moving closer to her. “Happy New Year darling,” he replies. The chime of the clock signaling the birth of the new year resounds in the halls of his home and he grins as he closes the distance and kisses her soundly. Drawing back he says lowly, “A very happy new year indeed.”
