Wasn't a Mistake
Disclaimer: I do not, and for the foreseeable future, never will own Community. I just like it. A lot. So I write fan fiction about it.
One line from 2x01 keeps running through my head. "We agreed that you and I kissing was a mistake." And I can't help but thinking what if they decided it wasn't a mistake. And then I keep on thinking about what would happen if that following summer had happened differently and then how it would affect the following year and so on and so forth. So I decided to write about it. So please, enjoy. It takes off directly after Pascal's Triangle Revisited left off.
The Kiss
The kiss was great.
That was all that was running through Annie's head at the moment. She wasn't thinking about the reprecautions of the kiss and she wasn't thinking about how it would affect her friends, she just kept on thinking about how great the kiss was.
Not that she had an awful lot of experience with kissing, what with her past options having been limited to Vaughn, her now gay ex-boyfriend and the kiss with Jeff at the debate. This kiss was much better than that last one.
Then it really occurred to her. Holy crap. She was kissing Jeff Winger. Again. This was technically the third time now after they had stopped for a few seconds. And then it hit her again. Holy crap. She was kissing Jeff Winger.
This time it wasn't even to make him drop a disabled man to prove that all man is evil. It sounded really bad when she thought about it, but she supposed that was the whole point.
She wondered if Jeff thought it was a good kiss. Despite that Annie doubted Jeff would be still kissing her right now if he was hating the experience, but he had spent a lot more time kissing than Annie had. She wondered if this kiss would even be slightly memorable to him. She did hope so.
And then after what seemed like both too long and not long enough, the kiss was over.
They didn't move, they still had their arms wrapped around each other, they just weren't kissing. Neither of them said anything for a minute. They just stood there with there eyes closed. Annie supposed she was refusing to open her eyes out of fear that once she did the reality of the situation would hit her, and once the reality of the situation hit her then the reprecautions of the situation would hit her and once that happened she lost control.
But for this moment, with her eyes closed she could just pretend that the reprecautions didn't have to happen. She could pretend that this wouldn't change anything. That after this, everything would go back to the perfectly horrible ways they were.
Or maybe they would be better. Maybe, they could go back to the way they were, just with her and Jeff doing a little more of... this.
And then she realized that she didn't known what this was and that was all to unlike Annie Edison for her. So she slowly, as slowly as she could, she opened her eyes.
Jeff still had his eyes closed. She wasn't sure how to take that. Maybe Jeff was like her, refusing to accept what came after. Maybe he was the opposite, refusing to accept what had just happened. Either way, he still wasn't opening his eyes. But now Annie needed him to open them.
"Jeff?" she whispered, only audible to the tall man thanks to their close proximity. His eyes flickered open.
"Yeah?" he whispered back.
"What just happened?" she asked him.
"I believe we just made out." he replied, lips lips curving upwards into a smile.
"Good." she said back with a little nod.
"Good?"Jeff asked, retaining his smile.
"I think so," Annie said meekly.
They stood there like that for a few more moments, limbs still entangled. Annie took a second to just breathe it in. They had made out. Jeff had confirmed that. She hadn't just imagined it. Then she had said it was good that they had. And Jeff was smiling about it. So he had definitely been enjoying it as much as Annie had. Maybe he enjoyed it more. Or maybe he was just more accepting of it than Annie was. Whatever the reason, he was smiling.
Then he stopped smiling. His eyes slowly drifted towards the door. His grip on the back of Annie's head began to loosen slowly, gently falling down.
It was time for them to deal with the reprecautions. Annie's hands reluctantly dropped off Jeff's back.
"Jeff?" Annie whispered, looking down. "We can't do this, can we?"
"Not right now." Jeff said with a slight sigh.
Annie looked up at him to find he was looking back at her again. They both knew they couldn't do this right now, but they both wished they could. Annie took a step back. Once she had, both her and Jeff let out a big breath and they both relaxed significantly.
"I have to go... unpack." Annie said refusing to look Jeff in the eyes.
"I need to deal with the situation in there." Jeff said back, gesturing vaguely to the school building.
They both simultaneously turned and started to walk away from one another, Jeff towards the school and Annie to her car. Jeff paused outside the doors.
"Annie!" he shouted to the quickly retreating girl. She turned around quickly.
"Yeah?" she shouted back.
"This wasn't a mistake." he said looking her in the eyes. Annie smiled back at him. They both turned to their respective directions, each with a smile.
And that is it for this chapter. I hope you liked it, if you did, please leave a review or a favourite or a follow or just think to yourself, "Hm, what a nice story." and then hope I am currently reading your mind. Because I might be doing that. Tell me if you want more or if I'm just a horrible writer and should throw away my hopes and dreams of writing. I won't take it personally. Please excuse any mistakes, as I did write this at something like 4 in the morning and I am waaay to lazy to rewrite anything. See you next chapter maybe, hopefully.
