A/N: So, this is my second Palex songfic. The song is "You And Me" by Lifehouse. I don't own Degrassi, Paige, Alex, or these wonderful song lyrics. Enjoy!
You And Me
With my arms still wrapped around Alex's neck, and hers protectively around my waist, I squealed softly when I heard the opening chords of the much-slower song. Since we'd been stuck in another embrace, we neglected to hear the DJ announce that he was going to slow things down for a song or two. Honestly, I didn't mind: this was one of many songs I always wanted to dance to, but never took the opportunity, prior to now.
"Alex?"
"Paige?"
We both spoke at once, quite unintentionally.

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time.

"You first," I insisted quietly, whether she knew it or not, we were dancing, regardless if she wanted to or not.
"I just wanted to talk." She replied, just as quickly as I had insisted, her fingers latching over the small of my back. This was the dream I never wanted to wake up from.
"Then we'll talk while we dance." I informed her, watching a sly smirk tug at the corners of her lips. Curiously, I tilted my head. "Why are you smirking?"
"Because I'm Alex: I s-"
Before she could finish her sentence, I kissed her, because my song was almost finished and I didn't want to talk now. Pulling away, I leaned my forehead against hers; my eyes were still closed, though, and my smile was only growing in size. Honestly, I was in denial of missing her.
----
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out rightI'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here.
----
Nervously, I felt one of her hands slip down from the small of my back. Had I, Paige Michalchuk, made the Alex Nunez nervous?
"Hun, it's okay." I whispered reassuringly, easing my smirk into a courageous smile. "There's no need to be nervous."
----
There's something about you now I can't quite figure outEverything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right.
----
Daringly, I moved one of my arms from around her neck, placing my palm to her cheek. I knew she tightened her grip around my waist out of instinct.
"Paige… what're you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
Sighing, she shook her head to me. "I-"
"I love you." The words slipped out easily, purposely.
Silently, the corners of her lips upturned into a smile.
----
'Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to doNothing to lose
And it's you and me with all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive.
