*bite lips want to hold your ass*

*reaches for phone desperately* ...I need to *stops* no, I don't care

*zips bag shut* Done.

*We were both going to the cafeteria. I'm thinking about whether or not I should tell you about Alex Cheating on you. I sigh as I tap your shoulder* um... I have something to tell you...

*looks up from my phone* what is it?

I... um... I don't know how to say this but... *I'm getting really nervous and I'm sweating a lot. I'm trying to find the right words but it's hard. I take a deep breath and finally say it* Alex is cheating on you.

*His breath catches in his throat. He swallows hard, his eyes wide and searching yours, before he gives a tiny, shaky nod. He leans in slowly, his eyes fluttering closed as his lips press gently, hesitantly, against yours.*

*i kiss back*

*He makes a soft, choked sound against your lips, melting completely into the kiss. All the tension drains from his body as he wraps his arms around you, holding you like you're the most precious thing in the world, finally, truly home.*
