It's Never Too Late
It was the freshman school dance. Nearly every freshman was going to go. You, Dave Strider, couldn't care less about school dances, but you knew Jade, who desperately wanted to go, wouldn't get asked, so you asked her to go with you. She practically screamed yes when you asked her, but that's typical of Jade. You knew someone else who really wanted to go. The dance is tonight and you've run out of time to ask. It was too late. As cool as you are, you never got the courage to ask.
You're really happy you get to go to the freshman school dance tonight! You, John Egbert, have been waiting for it forever. You're sure the night will be amazing! Well, almost amazing. You never got the guts to ask the person you really wanted to go with. Gosh, you're disappointed in yourself. You had so many opportunities to ask, but you would chicken out every time. Oh well. It's too late now since the dance is tonight. It won't be so bad though. You are going with one of your good friends, Rose. She asked you if you wanted to go and you said yes because you would look stupid going alone.
The time of the dance arrived. The music was great, the food was surprisingly good, and everyone was having a blast. Our two couples were dancing near each other. So far, Rose and Jade's plan was going as planned. The moment they were waiting for was coming up very soon. Then, the song played.
~How do I get through one night without you~
John and Dave both heard it and froze. They didn't even know that they were almost back to back. Jade and Rose "accidentally" bumped into them, causing them to bump into each other. They both whipped around. Even through Dave's sunglasses, John could see directly into Dave's red eyes. Their red faces were inches apart. They stared at each other for a moment, shocked and nervous. Dave took John's face in both of his hands and kissed him. John felt his heart skip. Words could not express how happy he felt. Dave reluctantly pulled away.
"John?"
"Yeah, Dave?"
"...I love you." John smiled and hugged Dave.
"I love you too."
Everyone saw it happen. Did Dave or John care? No, how could they possibly focus on anything or anyone else but each other?
