Kuroko
- the beginning of New Years is spent with his family, as they are very traditionalist
- there will be mochi and there will be plenty of it
- so much that he often has leftovers for days
- if he does end up going to a New Years party, he’s bringing mochi as a snack for everyone
Kagami
- Kagami had been planning to spend it alone at his apartment, just like a normal night, but his team saw to it that he at least had a little party
- basically they all invited themselves over
- Kagami ended up hosting a party he hadn’t even expected to plan
- he ends up having a blast despite complaining that he hadn’t signed up for anything
Kise
- he would have thrown his own party, but he didn’t want to subject any of his friends to the “horrors” that are his sisters during New Years
- he still feels sick every time he thinks about having to clean up after they’d partied a little too hard
- this does not stop Kise from partying hard himself
- he is very enthusiastic about giving his lover a New Years kiss
Kasamatsu
- New Years is one of the celebrations that he actually wants to spend with his family
- as the older brother, he often gets put in charge of his younger siblings
- this includes making sure they don’t act like idiots while playing with fireworks
- he can’t blame them though; he did the same when he was their age
Aomine
- all night he brags about how he’s going to get someone to kiss him
- these plans prove hard to accomplish though when he hardly knows anybody at the party he’s at
- a stranger winds up kissing him instead and he’s astonished (and a little ashamed) that he wasn’t the one to make the first move
- he will definitely be hitting the person up later though
Midorima
- he wanted to spend the New Year celebration at home, but his teammates wouldn’t allow that to happen
- he spends a large chunk of his first few hours out complaining
- nobody tells Midorima that all the juice at the party is spiked and soon he stops complaining and starts slurring
- he’s a rather sleepy drunk, so this is one of his tamest New Years
Takao
- at any party he goes to this New Years, you can expect him to be the one at fault for spiking the juice
- Takao is a bit of a party animal and is definitely ready to stay up all night
- as he’s the most enthusiastic about seeing the fireworks, he is also the one to bring most of them
- ends up burning himself a little every time, but he still has fun
Murasakibara
- New Years is spent at home with his rather large family
- while everyone else is excited for mochi and fireworks and celebration, Murasakibara wants to treat the night like any other
- that being said, he’s not too big on all the celebration
- the promise of sweet mochi as opposed to savory is the only thing keeping him from complaining about all the noise
Himuro
- he spends a lot of the day video chatting with his family back in America
- Himuro celebrates New Years twice thanks to the time difference
- since the majority of his family is still back in the states, he spends the night celebrating with Alex
- he doesn’t tell her he’s actually there to make sure she doesn’t get too wasted
Akashi
- New Years is somewhat of a big event in his household
- it’s more of a business opportunity for his father than it is a family gathering, so Akashi isn’t interested in it either way
- this time of year never was special to him because it always meant business parties that he couldn’t bring friends to
- he kind of wishes more of his friends would invite him to their events
