Izumo/Reader New Years Eve
You knocked on Izumo’s door and entered, not bothering to be let in.
“Hey!” You called, “We have to leave soon.” You were greeted by a very naked Izumo walking out of the bathroom with nothing other than a towel, a very loose towel. Izumo’s face was beet red, probably the same shade that yours was.
“Oh my…” You said and looked away, “Uh I’ll wait in the living room.”
“A-alright.” He stuttered. Way to go (Y/N). Now the rest of the night will be awkward. You scolded yourself for just walking right in. After a few minutes Izumo came walking into the room, this time fully dressed.
“Ready?” You asked with a smile, determined not to make things awkward.
“Yeah.” He replied and offered you his hand. It was New Years Eve tonight and Konoha was throwing a huge party, so you decided to go with Izumo. You had been friends for a while but since both of you were so awkward, there were many awkward moments in your friendship such as this one.
Once you made it to the party, Izumo was pulled away by Kotetsu and you were pulled way by a drunk Anko.
“(Y/N), you’re going to tell him tonight, right?” She asked over and over again. You nodded. A while ago you had decided to tell him how you really felt about him and now was the perfect opportunity. You stayed with Anko for a while as she walked you through the plan once again.

Izumo paced back and forth as Kotetsu went over the plan again. He had been planning on telling (Y/N) that he liked her tonight even if it got awkward. By now he was used to the awkwardness that was between them. In fact, now if something awkward happened they would usually laugh about it the next day.
“Are you ready Izumo?” Kotetsu asked him.
“Yeah I guess so.” He replied.
“Well, its almost midnight so you should probably go and find (Y/N) now.” Izumo nodded and left as Kotetsu wished him luck.

You found Izumo wandering around and asked him if he wanted to go to the balcony. He agreed. The two of you made your way into the open air and stood at the edge of the balcony.
“(Y/N),” Izumo said, getting your attention, “I have something to tell you.”
“I do too.” You said and fiddled with your hands.
“Oh?” He asked. “I’ll go first I guess. So, we’ve been friends for a while and I just wanted to tell you that I think of you as more than just a friend.” He paused.
“Wait, does that mean you like me?” You asked sounding surprised.
“Yeah…” He said quietly.
“I like you too!” You said happily.
“You do?” He asked, and you nodded. The sound of people calling Happy New Year blew through the balcony doors as both you and Izumo leaned in for a kiss. He gently planted his lips on yours for a sweet but short kiss. You pulled back and smiled at him, taking his hand and walking back into the hall together.
