Livi's POV - NEW YEARS EVE.
The snow had been cleared and we had managed to drive to a nearby hotel where we started setting up the New Year party in the main ballroom, anyone was allowed to attend.
Everyone was enjoying the party and by 11pm, everybody was completely wasted. Myself and Johnny had been dancing, stumbling around and giggling non-stop for the past 3 hours. “H-eeeeeeeeeey Liv,” he slurred “wanna be my kiss at midnight?” Without thinking, my drunken mind accepted the offer. “Huh, oh,” he hiccupped, “Zacky's giving me a death glare…” he chuckled. I turned round and caught a glimpse of the so-called `death glare' before it quickly morphed into an innocent smile which I involuntarily returned.
Time had passed with the blink of an eye and before I knew it, the clock showed it was 5 minutes until midnight. Johnny had not left my side for the whole night and it was starting to piss me off as I couldn't help but notice Zacky was feeling a bit left out. I told Johnny I was going to get some Champagne for midnight and when I returned, I found him sprawled out on the floor, snoring. I laughed at him fondly; I couldn't believe he had passed out one minute before midnight. This sucked. Now I didn't have anyone to kiss.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and my heart skipped a beat expecting to turn around to the loving face of Zack. To my surprise, Jimmy was looming over me with a comforting smile which spread entirely over his welcoming face. “Hey, I see Johnny bailed on you” he snorted. I rolled my eyes and frowned in response “Yeah… The bastard passed out and now I don't have a midnight kiss.”
“Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven… Six…Five…” I sighed thinking I'd be all alone for yet another year. Jimmy looked uncomfortable. “Three… Two… One…” Cheers erupted around us and displays of affection had broken out all over the room. Without warning, I felt someone's soft lips press against my forehead for a few seconds and when they pulled away, Jimmy's reassuring voice sounded in my ear. “You're part of the family now.” He whispered. He stroked the top of my arm. “Now, I had better get back to my girlfriend before she thinks I've replaced her with some groupie.” he winked cheekily and turned away.

Zacky's POV:
I watched Jimmy kiss Livi but felt no jealousy as I knew it was simply a friendly gesture. I saw her chug down the remains of her Champagne after he had walked away and decided to accompany her. “Happy new year sweetie,” I grinned at her and leant down to give her what was meant to be a kiss on the cheek. Little did I expect, she'd turn her head to face me and I ended up planting a full kiss on her lips.
She started to put all her weight on me and I could feel her losing consciousness. Without thinking I scooped her up into my arms protectively and made for the hotel room but before I'd even placed her on the bed, she woke up and immediately started kissing my neck. It sent tingles down my spine and I didn't want her to stop. I placed her on my bed and slowly edged towards her and balanced myself on top of her, making sure none of my weight rested on her.
My urges overtook my brain and I couldn't help but move my lips closer to her, I started passionately peppering her neck with urgent kisses, each one sending a jolt of electricity through my body. I slowly moved my hands down her body, exploring until I had to prise her hands away as she started to undo the buttons on my shirt. She groaned in half frustration and half drunkenness. “Zacky, come on! I know you want this as much as I do.” She mumbled. I couldn't agree more, I had wanted this for a long time but not like this… I simply couldn't take advantage of her especially since it'd be her first time.
“Livi - no I can't but trust me, if you asked me tomorrow when you were sober, I wouldn't hesitate in a heartbeat.” She looked disappointed and defeated and I knew I would regret this decision but I couldn't have lived with myself otherwise. “Fine,” she sighed “but can we go to sleep now?” I nodded and she started to take off her dress. I looked in awe as this was the first time I'd seen her in anything less than jeans and a t-shirt. I followed her lead and started taking off my own clothes self-consciously as I caught her staring.
When we were both in our underwear, I turned out the light and we climbed into bed where I searched for her hand under the sheets. Our fingers intertwined, she rested her head on my bare chest and we stayed that way for the entire night.

I'm starting a fanfic with Johnny Christ as the main romantic interest - it's going to be in the third person I think, unless I change my mind. The story will be set when the guys are in high school. Message me or comment on this if you're interested!Also comment if you want me to keep this story going (Under The Circumstances) as I may end it due to lack of interest.
much love guys x
