Shawn stared at Dave from one of the corners of the room as the black haired boy tried to sweet talk his way into letting himself be Sky's first New Year's kiss. He was invited to a party of all the season six cast members and their plus one's (not that anyone had any besides Topher, though his plus one was just some intern from the Show) He chugged the rest of the punch that was in his red solo cup, On the way to re-fill it he watched as Max and Rodney spoke with each other whilst Topher (horribly) flirted with that intern, the random intern was seemingly annoyed but also seemed to be blushing a bit, Danny his name was? it didn't matter, he also past by Scarlett and Amy chatting about their "Annoying siblings" or something along those lines.
He covered his ears in annoyance as he walked by Beardo making irritating sound effects as Leonard had his arm wrapped around Sugar, them being all 'lovey dovey' throughout the whole party made Shawn wanna puke.
but then FINALLY he ran into "good" people.
Jasmine and Sammy.
"Hey Shawn!"
"Hey mate" the two of them greeted the brunette.
"Hi,," He replied with a dull tone, Sammy looked back at her girlfriend with a worried expression which Jasmine gave the same.
"Uhh,, are you, okay?" Sammy asked, watching Shawn scan the room. Shawn huffed as he turned around trying to discreetly direct the two girls attention over to Dave and Sky.
"I just don't get it, she obviously doesn't like him, so why does he continue to try?"
Sammy smirked as Jasmine let out small snorts of laughter, Shawn raised an eyebrow and turned his head to see what the two were snickering about.
"What?"
"Someone sounds jealous" Sammy teased.
"What? Jealous? ME? that's totally a lie!" Shawn defended, but they could see right through him, without the truth having to be told.
"Then why do you care so much what he does, ay?" Jasmine replied.
" 'Cause watch, he's gonna get rejected and come crying to me again, All he is doing is looking for heart-break and failure" Shawn spat out.
"Whatever you say mate" With that Jasmine and Sammy walked off, leaving Shawn to sulk as he watched Dave get miserably rejected, he saw the way the other boys face sunk with defeat as he tried to sway Sky. Shawn hurried to catch up with the other, wanting to desperately tell him that he was right and that he shouldn't even been looking for relationships because the Zombies will eat him alive before he could even make it worth his time.
-------
He was greeted with a cold gust of wind swooshing against his face, he saw Dave hunched over sitting on the steps, sulking in irritation and sadness. He walked over to him and sat with him, Dave's eyes made contact with his, he wasn't a big fan of eye contact but it was different, it was Dave, his best friend. It only felt natural for them to lock eyes.
"I uhm.. I was right.." Shawn said breaking the uncomfortable silence, he felt pride when he was inside watching Dave get rejected but seeing him now with faint tears swelling in his eyes made him feel...
𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙧𝙙... to say the least.
"I knew you were gonna say that.." Dave sneered back.
"I just- I don't get it, how does SUGAR get a date, especially with Leonard, and not me!?, and how does Sky have a date with ELLA! Out of EVERYONE here!" Dave ranted, Shawn wanted to say 'I knew it was gonna happen, this is what you get when you don't listen to me' or something along those lines but he couldn't, he couldn't bring himself to do it. A few seconds were left and Shawn didn't want his best friend to feel shitty on New years.
So he did what he thought in those few seconds.

Shawn stared into Dave's eyes as the germaphobe continued to rant about how "this wasn't fair" and that "He deserved to be with Sky". His eye's were beautiful and bold, the way the moon shinned against them made Shawn's cheeks heat him and made him feel a weird sense of comfort.
𝟒
Dave had stopped talking, the two stared at each other in silence, letting the howls of the wind talk for them, when they were with each other they didn't need to talk, they could spend hours and hours in silence and still feel comfortably content.
𝟑
Shawn never noticed how cold Dave's hands felt compared to his own, the cold feeling spread throughout his body as the coldness on his cheeks felt like two ice cubes being shoved against them. Though he didn't mind the feeling, he loved this feeling. His hand's wondered on the others hips, the position they were in was a bit weird but he didn't mind as long as they were together it didn't matter.
𝟐
Shawn moved closer as Dave copied, they faces almost inches away from each other, if any closer their noses would rub against one another.
𝟏
𝙃𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙔 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙔𝙀𝘼𝙍!!
Shawn broke the tension, he pressed both of their faces together into a messy but fantastic kiss, it felt like a swarm of butterflies was let go in his stomach, Sure the kiss wasn't as perfect as it could be, but when he was with Dave he didn't care. Nothing had to be perfect when they were together, this moment was as perfect as Shawn dream of. He wouldn't change a thing.
When they pulled away from each others embrace it felt empty, they looked one-another up and down a few time's before one of them spoke up.
"That was uh,," Dave started
"I- uHm, sorry?" Shawn choked on his words, they way he said it was more like a question then a statement.
"Wait why? Did, did you not like it?" Dave said with a bit of sadness running through his tone.
"NO! no! not that, its uh, I know you still like sky and you just got rejected and I didn't even ask and-" Shawn was cut off with Dave giving him a quick peck on the lips, Shawn went a whole new shade of red.
"It doesn't matter,, do you wanna maybe.. be my New Years boyfriend?" Dave asked shyly, he had already been rejected once, it didn't need it twice, especially from his best-friend.
"I- Of course!" Shawn shouted with excitement, Dave pulled Shawn in again for another kiss which thee other happily accepted.

Sammy and jasmine watched through the window as Ella and Sky peeped with them, Topher was recording the whole thing while Danny stood behind him muttering about how stupid it was for him to be doing that.
"You owe me 10$ Sky" Ella spoke out.
"Dang it! I thought he would bail!"
"You owe me 10 bucks too, Sammy"
"what-eves" Sammy chuckled and rolled her eyes playfully
"This is gonna look amazing on my blog!" Topher spoke out.
"You still run those shitty blogs?" Danny said with a small laugh.
"Shut up! they are anything BUT shitty!" Topher defended.
Danny copied Sammy and rolled his eyes at Topher but giving him a playful nudge
"Happy New Year you fucking loser" Danny ended
