Pause
Disclaimer: These characters are not mine. They're just fun to play with!
A/N: This is a little Will/Emma drabble, based on the final moments of episode 1.13 – "Sectionals". Obviously, if you haven't seen the episode, be warned there are spoilers here!
This is my very first venture into Glee universe. I'm so partial to Emma that I couldn't help but write a little piece. Let me know what you think!
What made me pause? I'd already packed my things, sanitizing my desk for whoever was to take my place after. I sat in the desk chair, staring aimlessly, letting the minutes tick passed. I didn't know what I was waiting for. Something was pulling me, urging me to wait. I snorted at myself, dropping my head with a shake. Clinging my belongings to my chest, I passed through what used to be my office door. But, what made me pause?
I went to sectionals for Will. Thoughts flood my mind, thoughts that I may never see him again after leaving this building. My heart aches at the thought. I get to the windows that flood light into the hallway. I was standing there for mere minutes.
I just left my wife. Oh, those words. So true. He's hurt. He's fresh. He's not ready.
Standing at the end of the hallway, I tell myself that I'll wait for him. In time, we can be together, right? Again, my head drops.
I hear a door open down the hall. I hear footsteps from my office, my old office. I turn one last time. Thank goodness for whatever made me pause.
He walks towards me, reaches for me. I open my mouth to say something, but his finger touches my lips to silence me, sending a shot of electricity through my body. He drops his face and his lips crash against mine.
Chaste and sweet, my head swirls. However cliché, I feel time slow to a crawl, enjoying this feeling that I've been longing to have. His hands grasping my hips; his body close to mine. My response is delayed, hands gripping at his arms seconds after the kiss began.
Lost in the moment and in complete bliss, I realize he is now standing in front of me, grinning. I open my eyes slowly and can't help to see that my lips mimic his. A smile graces my features and there is hope.
Thank goodness for the pause.
