Yamato/Reader New Years Eve
It was the night of New Years Eve and you couldn’t help but be excited. You had always loved big parties and tonight’s would be especially large seeing as ninja from all over the world would be coming. Another thing that made you happy was the fact that everyone came to a peace agreement. Now they were one step closer to eternal peace. The last and most exciting thing that you were super excited about was the fact that Yamato asked you to go with him. Even though he didn’t call it a date you were still treating it like one. The two of you had been friends for a long time but now you wanted more than just a friendship with him. The only thing was that you didn’t know if he felt the same.
“(Y/N), you realize that you have half an hour before Yamato is supposed to be here.” Your friend, (B/F), called from the living room.
“What?!” You yelled.
“Looks like you were too busy giggling to yourself to notice the time.” She laughed but stopped mid laugh because of a coughing fit. She couldn’t come to the party tonight because she had caught a major cold a week ago and it just seemed to be getting worse. It was a good thing you picked your outfit out yesterday otherwise you would’ve been late. Your hair and makeup took no time at all as you mostly left it natural.
“Okay how do I look?” You asked (B/F).
“You look amazing (Y/N)!!” She said with a smile. “Yamato is going to fall over when he sees you.” You had decided to go with a pair of leggings and a nice black sheer blouse with a black bralette. It was a little more out there than you were used to, but you had to admit that it looked so good on you.
“He should be here any minute now!” You said to (B/F), not able to stop moving.
“I'm glad you’re so excited (Y/N)! I hope everything goes well!” She smiled. “And remember, at 12:00 if he doesn’t go in for the kiss then you do it!” You nodded and took a deep breath as the doorbell rang. “(Y/N) go into the bedroom. I’ll get it and then call you that he’s here, so it doesn’t look like you were waiting.” (B/F) whispered and got off the couch and walked to the door as you ran into the bedroom.
“Hey (B/F). Still sick?” Yamato asked.
“Yeah unfortunately.” She replied. “So, you’re here for (Y/N) right?”
“Yeah. Is she ready?”
“I think so! (Y/N)! Yamato’s here.” That was your cue. You took another breath and left your bedroom to see Yamato standing in the doorway. Instead of his usual Konoha gear, he had on a pair of dark jeans along with a white t-shirt and a black jacket. And the kicker was that he didn’t have his head protector on.
“Hey Yamato!” You greeted as you tried not to skip towards him. “You look good in casual clothes.”
“I could say the same to you.” He replied with a laugh at your enthusiasm. “Shall we?” He asked and offered his elbow. You took it happily and shot a smile back at (B/F).
“See you kids later.” (B/F) called. “Don’t get too hammered.”
The two of you began the walk to the hall in a comfortable silence. Well, until you broke it. “I can’t believe you actually took off your head protector!” You teased Yamato and poked him in the jaw, something you couldn’t do when he was wearing it. He stuck his tongue out at you and countered with a playful jab of his own.
“Yeah well I'm surprised you don’t have your kunai with you.” He laughed.
“Jokes on you Yamato!” You said and lifted the side of your shirt to reveal your kunai strapped to your ribs. “I never go anywhere without them.”
“Well I guess I’d better swing by my house to get my head protector then.” He said and turned towards where he lived. You planted your feet in the ground and pulled him back towards you.
“I don’t think so! You look so cute without it.” He turned to you and you blushed slightly as he grinned at you.
“You think so?” He asked with a coy smile.
“Uh yeah I guess.” You really dug yourself a hole. Yamato just laughed at your embarrassed expression and pulled you towards the party.
“Come on, we’ll be late if we keep this up!”

Once you made it to the hall you were almost immediately pulled away from Yamato by a group of female ninja.
“Hey (Y/N)!” Kurenai greeted. “I’m so happy you came with Yamato!”
“Me too!” A very drunk Anko agreed.
“Yeah I know!” You replied ecstatically. “I'm hoping that tonight is the night.” For a while you stayed with the girls until finally you sought out Yamato. By now you were already pretty tipsy.
“(Y/N), I'm over here.” Yamato called, and you followed his voice.
“Hey!” You giggled at him.
“Are you drunk already?” Yamato asked with a laugh.
“Pftt, no.” You replied. “I'm a responsible adult. It was Anko who kept giving me drinks.”
“I'm sure that’s how it happened.” Yamato smiled. “Do you want to dance?” He asked and took your hand, pulling you onto the dancefloor before you could respond. Yamato pulled you into the middle of the crowd and into the group of Leaf Ninja who had formed a group in the middle. Anko pulled you away from Yamato and began to dance with you. Yamato watched as you and Anko danced like idiots to the song that was playing and eventually everyone began to join in.

An hour of dancing passed, and you were gross and sweaty. But you didn’t care. You had so much fun dancing with all of your friends and eventually almost everyone in the hall began to dance with you.
“(Y/N)!” Yamato yelled in your ear over the loud music. “Let’s go cool off outside.” You nodded as he took your hand and pulled you through the mass of sweaty bodies and out onto the balcony which was empty. You stood beside Yamato and took in a deep breath of fresh air. Looking at Yamato you noticed him staring at you.
“What?” You asked with a giggle, still drunk from the drinks Anko gave you. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Yamato took a step closer to you and just as the crowd inside yelled happy New Year his lips captured yours. At first you were surprised but then you kissed him back. Your hand moved to the back of his head and gently grabbed his soft brown hair. His arms wrapped around you and pulled you against him. The kiss lasted for a minute before Yamato pulled away to see your reaction. You were grinning from ear to ear. He let go of you and you began to prance around.
“This was even better than I imagined!” You sang at you skipped around the balcony. Yamato laughed as you made your way back to him and gave him a hug. “I’m so happy!”
“I am too.” Yamato replied. “I love you (Y/N).”
“I love you too Yamato.” You said and have him a peck on the lips. You both looked towards the balcony doors as you heard a collective awe come from your group of friends who seemingly saw the whole exchange. It was now official. You and Yamato were a couple.
