Warning: This might get pretty steamy.

"You're scared. I get it. I know I don't exactly have the best track record with relationships, but Bianca and I are done. We might not have ended them on horrible terms, but we ended them for sure. And I'm also competing with the guy who crashed his car for you. So I'm kind of scared of what this can be, too. But I'm willing to try it out if you are," Drew challenged as he held both of Clare's hands.

She didn't respond but she didn't object to his actions.

"It's not like we don't already spend time together as it is. It's just this time, we don't have to hold back anything," he persuaded.

"And I already know you can be such an ass sometimes," Clare teased.

"And I know you overreact to pretty much anything," he insulted back as she let go of his hand to punch his shoulder. "See? Like clockwork!"

"Whatever," she commented.

"So, what do you say?" he asked.

She sealed her decision with a chaste kiss, responding afterwards with, "We'll keep things casual. Nothing official."

"Girl not wanting to put a label on it? I'm down," he said as he quickly rushed in for a much deeper kiss.

Without thinking it through, the friend gestured the other into Dallas's room as the other followed. Briefly being away from lip contact, they certainly made up for it once they were on the bed. Clare was on top this time, straddling him with her legs and cupping his face with her hands. Drew's hands were occupied on her ass. But not for long. He flipped her back onto the cushion and practically resumed the same position they left off from. Except this time, Clare's hands were exploring all over his chest. When Drew's hand was fumbling around her button, she had to draw the line. As much as she hated to admit it, especially at this moment.

She removed her lips from his and said in his ear, "No sex."

"Okay, I understand. Can I at least go down on you, though?" he asked back in her ear, his heavy breaths almost tickling her.

It almost shocked her that he would ask that. She might've not been the most experienced in sex, but she knew guys usually wanted oral sex but not reciprocate it. So didn't take him as the guy to offer that. Eli hadn't even offered. Now granted, they only had sex once so she's sure if they had more opportunities he would have. Alli always raved about how good it felt when Leo did it to her, so she was curious by default.

"For now, not tonight," she said, leaving it open-ended. "But shirts can be discarded. It's just too damn hot."

"I'll say," he concluded before the two were removing their shirts. Then they went back to their session.

Only everything that followed seemed slower yet more aggressive. Drew left Clare's mouth to place his all over her neck to her collarbone, forcing her to sigh in delight and tighten her grip in his hair. His hand made his return to the "under the bra zone," struggling to fondle it under the tightness of the material. There were no objections made to his advances. In fact, Clare almost seemed to welcome it when she unclasped her bra, practically cuing Drew to free it. Once it was thrown on the ground, he didn't hesitate to put his mouth on her bare breast.

Clare loudly moaned. She tried to stifle it even more so when his tongue started swirling around her nipple. A familiar pool of heat formed between her thighs. She didn't care what she had said before, she wanted more of this.

"Please go down on me," she begged.

Drew happily complied, unfastening her button and pulling down the zipper.

The muffled sounds of giggling voices stopped them from continuing any further. They stared at each other, still in shock of the potential reality of the situation. Before they could act, the door opened and entered the bodies of Mike Dallas and Alli Bhandari. They started to make out. Drew and Clare didn't take this as an opportunity to flee or something because they were surprised at the situation in front of their eyes.

Then Dallas and Alli stopped and shortly noticed their gawking, not having processed their circumstances yet. They only cared that they were caught.

"Oh, hey man. Sorry, the party got rolled and Alli needed a place to crash but Clare wasn't-" then the two finally noticed the half-naked subject, "—picking up."

This cued Clare to cover up her chest with the nearest pillow and turn a bright shade of red.

"I can explain," Drew started, trying to find an explanation for all this.

"No you don't. Just continue whatever you two are doing and let me and Alli go upstairs in your room. We'll wash our sheets in the morning," Dallas said before walking out of sight.

"We'll talk later," Alli hinted before following, not sounding mad to Clare's surprise.

Dallas came back into view again.

"Your shoes are off," he directed toward Clare before leaving for the final time, leaving his best friend confused.

"So, I'm kind of not in the mood anymore. Do you want just watch Game of Thrones instead?" Drew offered.

"Yeah," she nodded.

After putting their clothes back on, the two left the bed and made their way to the couch. She leaned her head onto his shoulder as he searched through the show on Netflix.

They were going to have to talk about their relationship at some point. It's not like they were both completely over their exes. Things weren't as finalized as they claimed to be. That being said, they both wanted companionship. Now whether they wanted it to fill the void of their heartbreak and satisfy their physical demands as teenagers or the beginning of them actually caring deeply for one another. The second possibility was scarier. Coming to term with these things would be for another time, though.

At this moment, they simply enjoyed the company of each other.

So I hope the ending was sappy enough for you guys. But what about that fall finale yesterday? Like it was really OCC for Eli to cheat, but it was even more OCC for Clare to forgive (Holy shit but that binder of emails he gave her was the most sorry-ass way to win back. God, that was horrible). And okay, like if I thought any couple was going to reconcile at the end of the episode, I thought it would be Drianca for sure. But whatever, it's Degrassi I guess.

But I'm glad they showed them holding hands in the promo... hopefully that could lead to something. Although, I am pretty curious at the Drew/Zoe arc. It's like Sav/Holly J/Jenna all over again. And Maya going scene with that gun? What the actual shit. I predicted someone was going to go through that "rebel" phase, but I so thought/hoped it was going to be Zoe! Anyway, during the hiatus, I will post a couple more Clew fics. At least one for sure. I hope you guys won't mind that.
