January 1st

Briefly, both boys minds went to December 32, but that date no longer existed. Toki was brought out of his embarrassed daze, taking a step to the side. He felt his heart beat fast in his chest, pounding against his ribs. He though he was going to kiss him. It was such a stupid thought, Ogami liked Sakura, so why would he want to kiss anyone else?

Once Toki was brought out of his own thoughts, Ogami was already halfway back at the house. He had completely missed the amused look Ogami threw back at him as he left.

Hurrying after, Toki stepped into the house a couple of seconds later. Upon entering the room where the party was held, he was instantly greeted by 'happy birthdays' and congratulations. It felt so weird, but it brought a fuzzy feeling to his stomach.

–

Half an hour later, Toki was going into the kitchen to get a glass of water. The room was getting stuffy, and it was too cold by this time of night to open a window. Or maybe the others weren't noticing that, but he doubted it.

He drank in big gulps, and soon he could feel eyes on him, following the path of a drop of water running down his chin, dripping down onto his collarbone to disappear beneath his shirt. It was Ogami, and they were alone again.

Toki glanced up. Ogami was leaning against the door frame, right beneath the mistletoe. Hadn't he noticed? Or was he doing it on purpose. He assumed the first one, and putting the glass in the sink, he hurried past Ogami in the door.

At least he tried to.

A hand grabbed hold of his arm, and an arm pulled him back, and he found himself once again face to face with the sixth Code:Breaker. “You forgot something,” Ogami said, motioning toward the mistletoe above them. “You're not supposed to cheat.”

Toki attempted to fight back the flush he could feel growing on his face, but it was as hard to control as he got burnt by the sun easily. “You know me,” he shrugged, trying to sound unaffected, “I'm a cheater.”

When he tried to pull back, both arms wound tighter around his waist, so tight he was almost lift from the ground. “H-Hey Ogami-kun. You're not planning on–“

But he never got to ask just what he was planning, before his lips were captured by Ogami's in a rough kiss, that brought even more colour to Toki's fair face, and the blonde could feel his face burn. He let himself be kissed, and after a few seconds of Ogami being the only one moving his lips, Toki started to kiss back. Their lips parted, and their tongues fought for dominance. Toki's arms wrapped around Ogami's neck, and he felt the sweet taste of Ogami's mouth, the lollipop making the kiss slightly awkward.

When the kiss came to an end, the fourth Code:Breaker felt a twinge of disappointment run through him. A disappointment he would never admit. They unwound themselves from each other, and Ogami gave a slight grin, a hand running down the side of Toki's bare neck. “Happy birthday, Toki. I'll give you that back.” He tapped something in front of Toki's face, and the blonde felt a light tap against his teeth.

It was only then that he noticed that he had his lollipop back in his mouth, and his cheeks grew a shade darker. He must have passed it back while they kissed, but Toki had been way too distracted by the kiss to notice. Ogami started down into the corridor, and when he looked back at Toki, there was a smirk on his face. “It was a bit too sweet for me.”
