Disclaimer: I do not own Greek or any of the characters. Written strictly for my own entertainment…and hopefully the entertainment of a few other Greek fans. This takes place when directly after Ashleigh says " It's the end of the world Cappie, what are you gonna do?" when they're sitting on the roof in the season finale.
Ashleigh waited all of five minutes for Cappie to answer her, or at least do something other then sit there staring off into space. "Well then, I'll just leave you to your thoughts," she said finally. With that she got up and began to walk away,just as she put her foot to the bedroom floor, "So you really think it's meant to be?"Cappie said not even bothering to look at her. Ashleigh came back over and sat down. "Kinda ya, shouldn't you be the one telling me that it's fate or whatever?" At this Cappie finally turned towards her, "I dunno anymore, I mean I want to be with Casey. I just wonder if this is gonna be a repeat of last time and she'll regret it in the morning." Ashleigh sighs, she sympathizes with him, she knows that Casey doesn't always stick to her decisions and can get pretty absorbed in herself without thinking about how her actions will affect other people.'Not time for me to hold grudges' She thinks and says, "I think that you'll never know what might happen unless you talk about this with Casey." Cappie sighs, "I just wonder how long it'll be before she decides I'm not enough for her again. I can't get my heart broken again." "Well you can sit here all night and wonder or you can go talk to her and find out." With that Ashleigh got up and was gone before Cappie had time to respond.
What was he going to do? He knew he wanted to be with Casey, I mean he loves her. He's always loved her. Even when he was with Rebecca, he loved her. All of those other girls had just been there to try to fill the void that Casey had left him with. What if something did happen to her? What if she had died in that manhole? *he smiles* "manhole" Then he remembers the look on Casey's face when she pulled him in the closet and kissed him earlier that night. He knew that look, it wasn't the *I'm using you* or the *Scared don't know what I really want so turn to Cappie* look it was a look that he hadn't seen from her in a long time. "God, I'm a douche!" And with that he climbed off the roof and made his way through the KT house and away from his party. He had a girl to see about.
Casey sat on her dimly lit bedroom floor,looking at the lavaliere in her hands. 'What was I thinking? Cappie was right, Max is a great guy. He was the perfect guy. Why do i have to be in love with Cappie? 'Because it's fate' She answered herself. *If it's meant to be eventually it will be.* He was talking about him and me right?' Why did he always have to say things like that, make her think that he still wanted her and then turn her down when she finally figures it out. "I thought he would always wait for me," she whispers through her tears. "I thought he would want to be with me." 'Why did I have to wait so long? Why was I so stupid to think that he would just sit around waiting for me to decide?' "God why couldn't I have fell in that manhole two weeks ago?" "Because then we wouldn't have had that big fight and you wouldn't have realized that I'm the catch I've always told you I was." Cappie said with a slight smirk. Casey turned around to see Cappie leaning against the door jam. "Come here to tell me that you want to try to be friends again?" she says bitterly. "God no! It's no fun being your friend, unless you want to be special friends with special privileges, like f-" The rest of what he was about to say was cut off by a pillow to the face. "What? I was gonna say frolicking in a meadow singing show tunes!" Casey laughs a little at this, "What are you doing here Cap?" "Whatcha got there?" avoiding the question and taking a seat next to her on the floor. " Max's lavalier."
Cappie looks at her with some concern that he quickly masks. "You think you made a mistake?" Casey looks at him for a minute, she thinks he might be worried that she would be thinking about going back to Max. But if that was true then why would he have turned her down earlier? "Ya probably." Cappie stands up, " Well then I should be going so you can return to the man you love." Casey sets the necklace down and stands as Cappie is reaching for the doorknob "You're right here, I'm not going anywhere. When I said I thought I made a mistake I meant with you, I should have told you sooner. I shouldn't have waited so long, I should have told you weeks ago. I never should have broken up with you in the first place, and for Evan of all people." She sits on the bed and looks down at her feet. Cappie closes his eyes, pushing away the pain that he feels thinking about what drove her into Evan's arms in the first place. " I was an idiot back then Case, I took you for granted and I was irresponsible and childish. I still am, in some ways, but I would never hurt you like that again."He says turning towards her. Casey looks up at him, "Then why don't you want to try? What are you afraid of Cap? It's just me, you know me better then anyone. Why don't you want to try?"
"It's not that I don't want to try Case, you know how I feel about you." Cappie says looking down into her eyes. He reaches his hand out to her and pulls her up to sit on the end of her bed with him. Never releasing her hand. Staring down at their hands she never realised just how perfectly they fit together or how right everything felt with him. "We fit together don't we," he says looking down at their hands as well. 'How does he always know what I'm thinking?' She just nods her head, "You still haven't told me why you don't want to try, you're avoiding the question."Cappie looks indignant, "Me? Never!" She looks at him pointedly. "Alright I just don't know what to say Case, You come to me outta the blue and tell me you want to be with me. Not even two weeks ago you were telling me that Max was perfect and that I needed to move on. how am I suppose to react?" Casey stands up hands on hips, "Well I don't know...I guess I just thought..."she trails off. "You thought what, that everything would just go back to the way it was?" She looks at him with tears in her eyes and it breaks his heart. "I'm sorry.." Grabbing her hand and pulling her down next to him. He gently brushes her blonde hair out of her face and stares into her eyes. 'There it is again…that look that I haven't seen since-' the rest of his thought was gone in an instant as Casey gently pressed her lips to his.
