#reader memorized the exact time stamp they became dottores partner

[fatuismooches]

hello, it’s 🍊 anon again. firstly, how have you been? i hope you had a good christmas (if you celebrate it, if not, have this alternative: i hope you’ve had a good december) have a happy new year too!

and secondly, to celebrate new year, imagine dottore and fragile darling celebrating the new year

i just imagine that fragile darling has like this silly little calendar that shows how many years they’ve been together as like a funny thing they have.

darling just has x amount (a lot) of boxes filled with calendars that span back agesssss.

i also imagine that dottore isn’t quite big on the idea of celebrating new year, i mean, he already doesn’t have time for a lot of things besides his research so why would he have time to celebrate what is simply another day for him.

perks if fragile darling asks to see fireworks or do something special on new years too!

Dottore is not someone who cares about the passing of many holidays, the day being the same regular thing for him and the segments. Has two specific Harbingers hassled him in an attempt to get him to join the festivities the Tsaritsa hosts? Yes, but even they have not been very successful... if something is not mandatory, then Il Dottore will be staying locked up in his lab. That was before you woke up of course. You liked celebrating things, whether or not you particularly cared about it, it was just fun to share the excitement and fun with others. And during the Akademiya, you'd always stay up late for the clock to hit 12 AM (well, you were probably usually awake at that anyway. Zandik too of course, so you made it a tradition to make kissing him the first thing you did in the new year).

When you wake up, that's not going to change! You probably don't have enough space for four hundred+ calendars... but they are certainly written down in the first calendar you own since awakening. Ah, you definitely have a lot of mushy dates marked down and circled on your calendars. ("Zandy fell asleep in my lap for the first time!" "Omega took his mask off around me for the first time today." "Zandik took me to see the snow.") It's your own little way of making sure you don't forget all the lovely things in your life.

Anyway, the new year is pretty meaningless to him but you seem to like it, well, more than him at least. Snezhnaya isn't the best place for fireworks, considering how hard the blizzards rage there, but the Tsaritsa is known to quell her storms on the last and first day of the year... so with enough pestering, and threatening your husband that you'll go see the fireworks with Columbina instead (and Tsaritsa forbid Pantalone or Childe...) you're allowed to drag him out and view the fireworks at a nice spot near the lab.

It's not what Dottore was planning, and his time could be better spent right now but... you always tend to smile around this time, even if you haven't been before, so it's alright, he thinks. And maybe, just maybe, he thinks about the times he saw the fireworks in Sumeru with you too.

I KNOW I'M RESPONDING FASHIONABLY LATE AS USUAL... (typical smooches moment) BUT I HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR AS WELL 🍊 ANON!! I've been well, thank you, I hope you're doing good as well ❤️
