Try Honesty, Part 2
Oneshot. Maybe more?
Eli walked through the hallways of Degrassi, touching his bleeding lip to see if the small blood flow had stopped.
As soon as Clare saw him, she walked up to him. "Where were you this afternoon?" she asked, not bothering to hide the worry that was obvious in her tone. She had been worried sick. Just the thought of Fitz hurting Eli made her stomach flip.
"Conflict resolution." Eli said, with a half-smile.
"So it's resolved?" Clare asked in disbelief. She saw the cut on his lip and frowned. "So much for non-violence."
"It was a scrimmage, but nobody got hurt." he said, hoping she wouldn't be too mad.
She placed her hand on his lip, gracing it for mere seconds. Eli felt his heart stop for a moment. "What happened?"
"Cops had to break up a fight, is all." he said. She frowned.
He decided he'd tease her a bit to get her to smile, or at least blush. He grabbed her hand, being bold, and kept it where she had put it earlier, gracing his bottom lip. "But, maybe a kiss will make it better?" he said, with mock hope which only he knew was all too real.
She blushed and looked away, but not moving her hand.
Clare, having a sudden rush of courage, said, "Not unless it's Christmas or your birthday, Elijah Goldsworthy. Seems like you are out of luck." she finished with a smile.
Eli normally cringed at his full name but when Clare said it, it sounded amazing. "Oh, well then I guess I'll start counting down the days, Miss Edwards." he said with a smirk. She blushed insanely, removing her hand from his face.
She turned away and headed for her locker when Eli grabbed her arm. "Oh come on, won't you at least make my lip feel better?" he said, smirking. She had no idea how much he wanted her lips to grace his, even if it was just once.
She turned around and put her hand on his cheek daringly. "Eli…" she started, but he cut her off, placing his lips on hers.
Should I go on?
