it’s almost midnight on New Year’s Eve. Yennefer runs over to her ex, her beloved (but exasperating) friend, Geralt.

“You’re going to do it, aren’t you? You’re going to kiss Jaskier?”

“Yenn..”

“Come on! It’s new years! If somehow he doesn’t feel the same, just say you didn’t want to be kissless on new years!”

Jaskier has a plan. He’s going to finally (Meletele, FINALLY) kiss Geralt tonight! It’s New Year’s Eve, the perfect excuse! If Geralt doesn’t feel the same way, Jaskier will just say he didn’t want to be kissless on new years!

but then he looks over at Geralt and sees him talking quite intimately with his on-again-off-again lover, Yennefer. Hmph. Maybe he could make Geralt jealous! Show that he has choices too! But who could he get to kiss him?

Aiden is sick and tired of Lambert’s bullshit. They were best friends for a decade, and finally, FINALLY they had kissed at Lamb’s family’s Christmas party. Under the mistletoe, and then very quickly into the bedroom. Aiden thought they were just taking it slow with their new relationship afterward, but when he brought up kissing Lambert at midnight tonight, Lambert had laughed and shook his head.

“There’s plenty of people there for you to kiss, Kitty. Plenty for you to fuck, too.”

Well fine then! Aiden will find someone else to kiss! Show Lambert what he’s missing and make him regret it! He looks for the first person standing alone and beelines to them, surprised to find it to be Jaskier. “Do you want to kiss me at midnight? I’m trying to get Lambert’s head out of his ass.”

Jaskier pauses for a moment, glances over at Geralt, and then nods. “Only if we do it where Geralt can see.”

Lambert is freaking out. He is in love with his best friend, Aiden. And when they kissed under the mistletoe at his family’s Christmas party, Lambert was in heaven. And heaven only got heavenier when he got to taste other parts of Aiden. But come the next morning, Aiden didn’t act any different. That’s when Lambert realized that this was just another one of Aiden’s hookups. Not the great wordless mutual love confession he thought it was.

In place of August Ninth, Promptapalooza 2/ Geralt has brought Jaskier to Kaer Morhen, and Jaskier couldn't be happier. It's on the second night there that he says it. Jaskier wakes up and Geralt has left their room. He ignores him the whole day. Jaskier thought that- What with Kaer Morhen- And how close they seemed- Maybe he could- It's pointless... Jaskier waits in their room for Geralt to come back, but he never comes back that night. Jaskier stayed up all night waiting for him to return, but he never did. Jaskier sleeps away the day, since he stayed up all night. He wakes up around dinner time and decides to skip it. What if when he goes down for dinner, that's when Geralt decides to come back? He'll be alone again. But he doesn't come back. Again. The door eventually opens and Jaskier looks over with pure elation only to dim when he sees it's Lambert. "...Uh, Birdie, you haven't left your room." "Our room." "Right. Are y'sick?" "...I'm waiting for Geralt to come back. He hasn't come back ever since I said it." "Said what?" "...I- I told him I love him. And he left. He won't come back. I thought we finally were close enough. I thought after all the years he'd be able to hear me out. I knew deep down he'd never love someone like me, but I didn't think he'd just... Abandon me for the whole winter." Jaskier sighs and turns to look at Lambert, only to see him crying. "Lambert?" Jaskier asks in confusion. "Fuck-" Lambert whispers in horror, before scrambling out of the room.
