A/N This is my little Christmas fan fic present to you all. I know it's short but I think it's one of my better one shots. Anyways I hope you like it.
I stood outside in the snow looking up at the stars, ignoring the sounds of the loud rap music that was playing loudly in the house behind me. The peaceful night air was refreshingly cool after the crowded stifling heat of the Christmas eve party. I tilted my head back and closed my eyes breathing in the cool air and letting it fill my lungs. I don't know how long I stood there like that but when I opened my eyes again I a tall boy was standing beside me. He seemed not to notice my presence as I went back to looking at the stars.
"It's so beautiful." I whispered after a few moments, more to myself then to the boy.
"It brings back so many memories." he replied after a pause. I looked over at him. His familiar features lit up by the clear moonlight. I knew what he ment, I shared so many memories with that boy but we seemed almost like strangers now. It had been almost a year since we'd really talked.
"How did this happen to us," I asked him not taking my eyes off of the magical sight in front of me.
"I don't really know" he said. I sighed, dissapointed. I had hoped he knew because I had no idea myself. It had happened over time, we grew further and further apart until all we ever did was say hi in the hallways.
An awkward silence filled the moment.
"Shouldn't you be with Grace?" I asked after what seemed like an hour of silence.
"She dumped me, Grace dumped me," he said quietly kicking a chunk of snow across the sidewalk. He didn't sound very upset but it could have just been my imagination.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said but we both knew that I didn't really mean it.
There was another long awkward pause between us. Finally I looked over at him only to see him looking at me.
"I couldn't keep doing that to her anymore." he said breaking the spell of silence. I didn't ask who he was talking about, I knew he was talking about Grace. "I liked her but," he looked at me " I realized that I had only used her to replace someone." he continued. My heart began to race, did he mean what I thought he ment?
"Do you, uh, still have feelings for that someone," I asked nervously, looking over at him.
"Yeah, I think I do, but I'm not sure." he said coming closer to me. My feet took a step closer almost on their own. Our faces were only inches apart. He cupped my face in his hands and gently tilted it up to meet his. My heart beat louder as he came ever closer, it almost seemd like we were moving in slow motion. Finally his lips touched mine in a gentle kiss filled with feeling that grew deeper as it continued. Just then a cheer went up from inside the party causing us both to pull away. We laughed.
"Are you sure now," I asked him, slightly breathless.
"Yeah I knew it all along." he said smiling. He pulled me closer to him and we kissed again.
A/N So did you figure out the pairing? If not then you can imagine that it's any pairing you want but if you know me at all you know that it's probably rily because all my stories are rily. Anyways I hope you enjoyed my little Chrismas present (or holiday present if you don't celebrate Christmas) enough to review it. Hope you have a merry Christmas!
