AN: I was asked if I was going to write a little companion piece for Addison and Teddy and how they are in Two In A Million. And here you have it. It will be one-shots of different situations. How they got together. Their first time and stuff like that. Things we didn't get to "see" on TIAM.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do writing it.

The Map That Leads To You

1. Confusion

„So", Teddy spoke after walking quietly next to her red-haired friend for ten minutes, the silence eating away her nerves. She had no clue how to act, how to be around Addison anymore. Everything was just so confusing, the latest events making her rethink everything she thought she knew about herself. Was she suddenly into girls? Or was this just about Addison? "You said you wanted to talk." Her voice almost quivered with uncertainty as she stopped and locked her eyes onto the asphalt below her feet.

Noticing the blonde coming to an abrupt stop, Addison turned to face her friend and nodded. "Yes I did. I do. But I don't think we should do this right here", she answered, knowing that she needed to be alone with Teddy if she wanted to actually talk about this big pink elephant that stood between them. And pedestrians wouldn't do anything good to help with the blonde's nerves.

She knew that Addison was right, but something inside her told her not to move. There were a few answers she needed and she needed them before entering their dorm room. It was only another five minutes' walk away from where they stood and within the four walls of their room, they could talk as much as they wanted. But, on the other hand, if she would not like the answers, she could just decide not to go home and crash at Mark's, or something. "Could you give me just one answer before we go home?"

"Anything you want, Teddy", the redhead agreed and studied her friend. The blonde's right foot was nervously tapping the ground, her fingers twirling with the chords of her jacket and her bottom lip was trapped tightly between her teeth. "Are you sure you can get that question out before Christmas?", she teased, trying to ease away the tension.

"Addison!", the young skinny woman complained. This wasn't easy for her and Addie didn't make it any better. She was torn between pulling the blonde against her body and kiss her, or to push her away and run until she couldn't run anymore. But she wasn't sure how the redhead would react to any of it and the last thing she wanted was to be the one that got pushed away. "What is this? Between you and me, I mean. Is this-" She didn't get any further. Suddenly there were lips on hers and she literally melted into the soft but wanton touch.

Addison had assured the blonde to answer her question, but she didn't have one. How was she supposed to phrase something, to string words into a response when she had no idea herself was this was. She wasn't entirely sure. Yes, she liked Teddy, a lot. She liked the way the girl had kissed her and the intimacy she felt with the blonde. But she wasn't sure if this was about Teddy or if she just missed being with someone. So the red-haired young woman decided not to say anything and let her actions speak and pressed her lips against the blonde's. Hands immediately found her friend's cheeks, holding her close. Her left hand trailed around until it was laced with tresses of blonde hair as she felt her friend relax into the kiss.

Finally wrapping her mind around what was happening, Teddy leaned into the softness of her friend's touch and sighed when the need to deepen the kiss rose higher and higher. Parting her lips, she let her tongue peek out and carefully traced a soft bottom lip, almost shying away in the last second. But she didn't, and that mattered. If she wanted to find out the truth about her feelings – and Addison's as well – she needed to be braver and risk more.

Relishing in the bold move of her friend, the redhead pulled Teddy even closer and kissed her until she felt out of breath and on top of the world at the same time. Yet, she didn't stop. Afraid that the blonde would end it sooner or later and they would be back to awkward silence, she kept moving her tongue against and with her friend's, swallowing the moans of appreciation that wanted to escape and instead fisted her hand in hair and clothes.

Pulling away eventually, blue eyes fluttered open and she rested her forehead against Addie's. "What are we doing?", she asked, still needing an answer. They kissed again and shehad to admit that it made her body all giddy and the butterflies in her stomach had probably the size of rhinos, but what if this was just because all of this was so new? The kiss of a woman was so soft, everything about Addison was so soft, nothing could compare to it, and she had kissed her fair share of boys.

"We'll go home", the redhead declared. "And we will see where this takes us. No labels for now. Just some testing the water and figuring out what we want and need, if that is okay with you?", she pleaded, her gray-blue eyes shining with hope. Feeling the other woman nod, she licked her lips before pecking the ones that were still so close. "Let's go before we get an audience."

Waiting for her friend to pull away, Teddy happily took the redhead's hand she was holding out for her. They had not made a step in any precise direction and usually, that would have bugged the blonde. But with Addison, it was fine. Because she knew it was the best they could do, to see where this was going, test if they could be heading somewhere really good or if this was just an experiment for both of them. Only time would tell. "Addison?"

Grinning stupidly when she heard her name being said in that cute uncertain tone, Addison looked at her friend and offered a quiet, "Yeah?"

"I like the way you kiss me", Teddy confessed and blushed instantly at her own words. She wanted to say it different, had wanted to say that she liked kissing her friend. But her heart had decided to tell what her head was thinking. She liked the way the redhead kissed her. It was soft. It was gentle, yet it felt passionate. It was different. It was good. It was more than good.
