Disclaimers: I don't own anything, much less these two guys. They are Kevin 
Smith's.
Notes: Just a New Year's fic for you all. Sorta short. Hope you like. Jay 
and Bob are already together in this 'un. Yes the title is from the Aaliyah 
song, but the song has nothing to do with this. The name just fit the story. 
:o)

We Need A Resolution

New Years Eve, 2001. It only happened once a year when everyone got together 
with their friends all in one place for a big party to bring in the new year. 
Everyone knew each other somehow; through school, through other people's 
friends, and sometimes they didn't remember how they knew each other. But 
that one night a year, it didn't matter. They were all there celebrating.

Jay and Silent Bob loved New Year's parties because it meant they got to see 
all their old friends at the same time and catch up with them. For the 
majority of the night, Jay and Bob would split up, gather their counterparts 
and chat the evening away. Tonight was no different. Jay had a big rouse 
going on in one area with Brodie, Banky, and Randal. Bob on the other hand 
was actually making civilized conversation with T.S., Holden, and Dante. It 
was rare he ever spoke with them, or spoke at all.

It was nearing midnight and everyone wanted to get to their significant 
others, or in some cases their closest friends, to get in their kiss for the 
new year. Jay and Bob walked towards each other, just smiling.

"D'ja have fun, Lunchbox?" Jay asked. Bob nodded appreciatively. He 
motioned his hand at Jay.

*Did you?*

Jay just nodded. He turned to look at the clock. 11:57pm. He turned back 
to Bob.

"You know, I was thinking. It's gonna be a new year and all... and we never 
really made any resolutions like we s'posed to." Jay said. Bob nodded.

"Well, it's time we made one. We shouldn't be keeping our love from our 
friends. I know we don't see 'em much, but it's kinda stupid. It's new 
years and -" 11:58pm "- everyone who's with someone 's gonna be showin' their 
love fer each other..." Jay said, frantically looking at the clock.

Bob's lips formed a small smile. He nodded again. Jay smiled in return.

11:59pm

The noise around them was getting louder and quieter at the same time. Bob 
grabbed Jay's hands when he heard everyone counting.

The crowd chanted.

10!

9!

8!

7!

6!

5!

4!

3!

2!

1!

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" the crowd screamed, and everyone grabbed their loved 
ones and planted one on them. Speakers somewhere in the distance played 'Old 
Lang Syne.' 

Jay placed his hand behind Bob's neck and pulled him closer ever so gently 
and their lips met. At the same second, fireworks went off, making the 
moment that much more magical.

A hush had come over the crowd as one by one, people stopped kissing whoever 
they were with and turned around in time to see Jay and Bob making out. The 
only noise was the fireworks and the music. Jay pulled away from Bob and 
looked down into his big brown eyes, his hand still behind Bob's neck. A 
soft smile crossed his face.

"Happy new year. I love you." Jay said very softly. Bob deliriously sighed 
and stroked Jay's face.

"I love you too." he said.
