29th Chance
The previous year is over and the troubles that came with it are now past. A new year has begun, bringing with it hopes and the promises of many wonderful things that are still to come. A Happy New Year to all my friends, and may the year turn out to be the best thus far in your lives.
I'm tired after an eventful day and night and don't really have the energy to say much at the moment, but I will say this New Year's Eve has certainly been the most fun one I've ever had. And the snow that fell at the strike of midnight only made it all the more wondrous. There truly is nothing better than having your friends and family with you on a night meant for celebration. Whether it be while watching the countdown happen at the Tokyo Tower, or taking part in hatsumode and visiting a temple to pray for your wishes to be granted and get some omamori to bring you luck throughout the year. All of it wouldn't mean a thing without having those important to you there to help share in the experience.
Echizen...You were thanking me earlier tonight, but I still don't think I'm the one that should be thanked. You have no idea how thankful I am to have you as my friend. Even though I act strangely around you, and I know I do this, you don't ever treat me like I'm a bother to you for it. That makes me feel happy. Thank you for being a friend to me.
T-Though it was really kind of you to say all that, even if I don't really understand what I did to be thanked for...i-in that way.
[OOC: He's still kinda blushy and flabbergasted over Echizen giving him that little New Year's kiss on the cheek. He doesn't think he deserved it. ^^;]
