New Year's Eve

The night was crisp and cold. Mikey and Shadow were taking a long evening walk as they often did, mostly to get out of the house but tonight it was also to celebrate the end of the year alone before heading home to enjoy it with the whole family. Their lives were insanely busy in a sense, but their day to day was still fairly mundane and they both often needed the distraction. They paused in the middle of the park to have a moment of quiet, away from the gathering crowds.

"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than right here with you." Shadow sighed.

"Yeah. It can be loud and crowded and stinky, but I love it just the same. "

She leaned against him, laying her head on his shoulder. "With everything you have experienced it's hard to believe this is even on your radar."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I guess. But there isn't anything like being home no matter where you've been. Home is where the heart is after all and everything I love is here."

His hand snaked around her waist as they both let out a deep breath.

Mukey let out a chuckle. "Hey, there's a guy over there watching. Filming or taking pics or something. You want to give him a bit of a show? Show the world how spe-shell you are? How we make an egg-cellent pair? That you’ve stolen a pizza my heart?"

"Hmmm. I don't think I'd mind if you can handle it. My doctor says I'm lacking vitamin U after all" she hummed as she turned to face him, her hand finding its way to his chest.

Mikey trailed his finger up along her back to place his whole hand on her cheek with a grin. "I love you so much."

She gave him a coy grin as her fingers reached around the back of his neck to pull him down for a kiss. "Well, I have to keep up with you don't I?"

"Oh you don't have a problem doing that baby, life without you is like a broken pencil… totally pointless."

His hand left her cheek and made the journey to the middle of her back. They spent a few long minutes making out, giving their audience of one as innocent of a show as they could manage. When Shadow pulled back and chuckled, he looked directly over at the person attempting to subtly capture the moment and gave a small wave.

"You're awful" she laughed as she smacked his jacket.

"You are so lucky I restrain myself."

"You know, you're right. I should be thanking you. Instead of pictures of us kissing it could be you doing any number of other questionable things, like holding my hand or giving me some token of affection or even *gasp* picking me up and carrying me home."

"I have to admit, all this has made it a bit harder *heh* to know when I can go down on you in public. Wanna head home or should we see just how much he can handle?"

She took his hand and started heading back to their apartment. "It's cold hon. I think he might get burned if we got too steamy out here."
