"Step Inside"
Summary: An old photograph reminds Dawson of a crush.
Author's Note: Set around episode 409. This is a vignette. There's not a lot of Dawson/Gretchen fics posted, so I decided to share this songfic.
Disclaimer: Dawson's Creek doesn't belong to me.

Dawson Leery flipped through his scrapbook again. He stopped at the last page again. He didn't care about what the grouchy old man said, but maybe he was right. Dawson liked all of his other pictures but this on especially stood out.
It was one of the pictures he took when he was chasing Gretchen around with the camera. Gretchen. He had to admit when she was around he felt like something was there.
"Why am I thinking about this?" he sighed. He put the scrapbook down and stood up. He attempted to walk around the room but his eyes rested on the picture of her.
Dawson smiled. He picked up the picture of Gretchen again.

You're twenty-two Why aren't you free?
You're mom and Dad's victory A soul who's lived a thousand lives Don't hide behind a child's eyes I'm sure you've been mislead before How once you trust they slam the door
I'm everything I claim to be You just need vodka and honesty
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
Am?
My love is real
As real is the flowers
Flower, flowers, flowers
