You sat down on the soft cushion, holding a cup with hot chocolate in it. It was New Year's eve and you and Emma were waiting for some close friends to arrive.

Emma was strolling around the kitchen, making hot chocolate for everyone. You texted Norman and he replied that they would be there in about 10 minutes.

" 10 minutes!" you exclaimed and heard the poor ginger girl drop something. Suppressing a laugh, you made your way to the kitchen.

" Emma?"

" I forgot to buy marshmallows! " she groaned and trashed the cupboards in hopes of finding them.

" Oh, don't worry. We don't need marshmallows-"

" It's tradition (Y/N)!" she placed hands on your shoulders and shook you. Placing your hands on her shoulders, you reassured her.

" Don't worry. I'll go get them."

" But the supermarkets are closed..."

You let go of her shoulders and rubbed your chin. Just as you were about to say something, the front door opened and the whole crew entered.

Gilda enveloped you in a hug, Don was grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and Norman was smiling softly.

" Helloo!" the girl with glasses smiled brightly and hugged Emma next.

" Hey Norman!" you smiled and the albino hugged you gently.

" Hello. How are you doing lately?" he asked politely.

" Oh, fine I guess. Where's Ray?" you asked as you realized that the ravenette wasn't present.

" He's coming. He's going with his own car since there wasn't any space left for him in my car."

" Oh.. " you nodded and looked at Emma.

" I'm going to get marshmallows. " with that said, you grabbed your coat and headed outside.

" Wait, (Y/N) you can't go by foot! " Norman said and went after you.
You left the house and was about to leave when you heard someone park in front of you.

" Ray?! "

" Uh can you move? I'm trying to park my car and I don't really have time to run over people?"

You chuckled and the boy parked. He left the car and patted your head.

" (Y/N) you can't go to the supermarket at 11pm! We don't need marshmallows anyway. " Norman tried knocking some sense into you but you just shook your head nonchalantly.

Ray looked confused but didn't let it show. He looked at Norman and let out a sigh

" Get in the car. "

" What? "

" I'm not trying to kidnap you, so get in the car. I'll give you a ride to the supermarket." Ray entered his car and you stood there, shocked.

Was he really being nice?

You got in the car and closed the door. Ray started the car and the rest of the ride was dead silent. He wasn't really into small talk.

You were taking too long in the supermarket so he debated whether to search for you or stay in car. He unlocked his door and almost got out but then he saw you running towards his car.

Once you got in, the boy started the engine.

" Sorry, I had to get something else beside marshmallows."

" Tch."

You fiddled with the bag and looked at the clock. It showed 11:50pm. Only ten more minutes .

" Uh, you better hurry up since we have ten more minutes!"

Ray looked at the clock and almost immediately sped up. It would take you 20 minutes to get to Emma's house but if he drove fast it'd take 10.

You almost slammed your head on the window when he sped up. Ray chuckled.

" Hey! "

He shot you a playful smirk. You pouted and tightened the grip around your seat belt. The seat belt felt less tight than before so now you were certain that you'd fly out of the seat. Ray took a sharp turn and you yelped.

" Are you trying to kill us-"

He shushed you when he put his hand on your thigh. Squeezing the seat belt even tighter, you could swear that your face was crimson red.

" 2 more minutes..." he whispered to himself and sped up even more, earning a yelp from you.

Your heart was about to rip open from your chest, but the feeling of adrenaline in your bones was quite thrilling.

He took another sharp turn and you unconsciously placed your hand on top of his, squeezing it tightly.

It was about 10 seconds before the New Year. Ray cursed under his breath.

" 10...9...8..."

He could hear the radio. It already started and both of them were still in the car. You felt kinda stupid for wasting so much time in the supermarket.

" 7...6...5...4..."

You could see the turn where Emma's street was. Taking the seat belt off, you clutched the bags and prepared to jump out of the car.

" 3...2..."

Ray took a sharper turn now and sent you flying on him as he harshly stopped the car in front of Emma's house. Everyone stopped cheering for the New Year once they saw Ray's car.

" Ray..? (Y/N)...?"

Raising your head, you rubbed your temples and noticed that now you were pressed against his chest. He looked deeply into your eyes, your lips brushing past his.

Something about your lips lured him in.

"... 1..."

He gave in temptation and crashed his lips against your. Tangling your fingers in his hair, you kissed back.

You pulled away, breathing heavily. You fought for your breath, face bloody red.

Outside the window you could see surprised and shocked faces of your friends. Norman chuckled and Don added :

" So, Ray isn't gay!"
