Nick checked the food cooking in the oven one more time. Everything was on track so he decided to take a quick shower. Gil was in the office finishing a paper he was presenting at LVU when classes began after the holiday break. Nick poked his head in the door and told Gil dinner would be ready shortly.

After his shower, Nick went to the kitchen to find Gil taking the food from the oven. While Gil was taking care of the food, Nick opened a bottle of wine to go with the meal and began setting the table. Gil commented that Nick was going all out and wondered why he was doing so. Nick replied that he wanted to do something special since it was New Year's Eve.....

"I thought we were going to Greg's party tonight....."

"I told him that I just wanted to spend a quiet evening in and see the new year in with you....."

"Thank you for sparing me! If Greg's Christmas party was any indication, I don't know that I want to see what he might do for New Year's...."

"Exactly! Besides, we can have much more fun watching TV....."

"You're right about that..... TV is much safer!"

Nick laughed and gave Gil a kiss. After dinner, Gil helped Nick clear the table and load the dishwasher. Once that was done, the two men settled in the living room. Nick started a movie and when it was over, they decided to watch the local news. When Gil began to get a bit amorous, Nick told him to save it for later.
Gil mock-pouted, but Nick paid no attention.

Right before midnight, the two men walked out on the back deck to get ready for the fireworks show at the park down the street. When the clock struck midnight, Nick kissed Gil and wished him a Happy New Year. Gil returned the kiss and took Nick by the hand, promising him that he was about to find out just how happy the new year could be.....
