Okaaaaay, These movies are killing me! Worst thing is I have to wait til the 20th to see Step Up All In.
In the meanwhile I decide to write one shots about my favorite couples.
This one is a Moose/Camille one set after the Pirates' victory.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I miss you"
"That's stupid. You saw me this morning"
"It's not the time, it's the distance."

Moose was feeling restless, but in a good way. He just couldn't believe it.
They had won.
He was aware of the fact that he needed to sleep, tomorrow was a great day, he just couldn't. Only a few days ago The Pirates were left with no place to stay and no hope, but now...
He could hear the members of the crew celebrating in the other room, playing Guitar Hero 3 and having a blast. Buying back the Vault was the first thing they did after their victory. It felt nice to be back there, it felt right. It felt like home. His mind played back the events of the day. The Battle of The World Jam. All those people there to see them. Okay, sure maybe some of them weren't really there for them, just for the competition per se. Still... All those people. And then Natalie joining them and the Baby Pirates. And the light tricks on the uniforms, and on his shoes. And even the hat. He thanked God (well, actually science) it all worked.
Man, it was amazing.
He glanced at the clock across the room, it was almost 3 am and he had an interview at NYU at 10. He really had to sleep, but the amount of unbelievable things that had happened in the past week kept him up. Almost everyone from the old crew had joined the House Of Pirates, even Andy who was far away on the west coast was rooting for them, and his parents actually agreed to let him ask for a double major. Sure his father was a little reluctant at first, but his mom was extremely happy for him (then again it was her mom and she was always excited about pretty much everything). And this were just two things on the never ending list of nice things that had happened to him. The last one that happened, winning the World Jam, was the cherry on top.
Tomorrow, technically today, was important. He had to go to NYU and ask for a double major, which he still wasn't sure he had the gut to and then Nat was leaving. And not "leaving the Pirates", but leaving leaving. A "Far away in L.A." kind of leaving.
Less then 5 minutes ago Moose was talking to Luke who was taking in consideration leaving with her. Okay erase the "taking in consideration", it was obvious their Captain wanted to and after everyone including Moose had told him to go for it there was nothing to stop him, he was probably packing right now.
He walked in the other room, where the others were and he was so deep in thought he didn't realize that said guy was also there. Luke was about to say something, but decided otherwise. From where he stood Moose couldn't see who was coming, but he could hear Anala talking and a bell like laughter. Luke glanced at the door, then without saying anything he grabbed a bottle of water, all the while giving him a knowing smile, and walked away. The curly-head didn't have time to wonder what it was about that he heard the familiar laughter again, now closer. Anala's voice was louder too, she was screaming from another room. Something along the lines of "Yeah sure, friends!" which was followed by another chorus of laughter from almost everyone. Again he wondered what they were talking about. A sweet voice answered back.
"I'm serious, Ana. Stop meddling, there's nothing going on! And stop laughing guys!" Her tone was serious and completely believable, but the blush and the small smile gave away the girl's embarrassment.
Camille entered the room walking backwards and shaking her head, her hair was up in a ponytail, the end curling ever so slightly. A small smile on her lips.
She's beautiful.
An almost illegal thought, if he was honest with himself. Not that she wasn't. She was, truly.
You'd have to be blind to think otherwise.
Another thought no one had to know about. This was his best friend after all. Although ever since their fight he kept wondering if maybe there was something more. He hoped so. God, so many illegal thoughts in so little time, but he couldn't but feeling warmer inside as he watched her laugh and joke with the rest of the crew. She fit perfectly there, in the Vault, talking, eating, dancing, rehearsing. Most importantly: with him.
In another life he wouldn't be so scared of ruining their friendship, and right after their victory previously that day he would have kissed her, after that celebratory hug that made him feel all fuzzy inside. He couldn't exactly pin point when he started to fall in love with her maybe just a few weeks ago, maybe it had been months. Part of him thought that deep down it was since freshmen year. One thing was certain, when she walked away from him the night of the Halloween party he realized just how much she truly mattered, how important she was in his life.
Ever since they met they had been together, maybe not in a romantic way, but they were Moose and Camille, Camille and Moose. Them against the world.
They could be in different cities, like that time she went to New York for the weekend to see Tyler while he was stuck in Baltimore, even then they had the certainty that no matter what they had each other's back. But after a fight, after seeing her hurt by him, he couldn't last a day... He didn't even want to.
Maybe it was silly. Missing her so much after not even 24 hours.
Letting her down, making her sad. Nothing, nothing ever made him feel so empty. Not even when his father told him it was time to face the real world and stop dancing.
He felt so stupid. He loved the Pirates and dancing again was great, but he couldn't believe how close he got to truly losing one of the most important person in his life. There was no Moose without Camille.
He was going to tell her, he decided. Never again in his life did he want to feel the pain and sadness that came with losing her, even just temporarily.
He had been such an idiot. He couldn't go 12 hours without seeing her. He wanted to tell her that he needed her and that he cared, and not how simple friends do. If he thought of how much he had missed her in those brief hours before they made up, the longing he felt and the need to see her. To apologize and to explain.
He kept watching her from across the room; she was playing and old card game they always did back in high school with Cable, Fly, Jason and Vladd.
He wanted to stay by her side, through thick and thin. Missing her was the worst feeling in the world.
He was going to tell her, here and now. Finally he was working up the gut.
She must have felt his gaze on her because then she looked up from the table and smiled at him. He felt his heart skip a beat, as cheesy as it sounds, and he smiled back wishing that she could understand that the smile he was giving her hid a million emotions he wanted to express but couldn't. Her smile reached her eyes, making them shine with happiness. His legs were turning to jelly along with his courage.
I'm going to tell her.
Maybe not tonight, but I'll tell her.
Sooooo... I hope you liked that ;)
