Hello there! :) This is a story based off the CRAZY promo where Fitz comes back. Kind of my take on what I think could happen. Anyways, as always, please ENJOY! =)
It's been a month since I confessed my hoarding to Clare and almost four months since we started dating. For the first time since Clare and I grew close, everything is running smoothly. No drama, no conflict. Our relationship couldn't get any better. Adam supports us even though we always give him "the runs." Her parents are starting to adjust to the divorce as is she. Clare comes over and helps me clean my room on the weekends. I know it must be hard for her to see me struggle to throw things away because of Julia. No current girlfriend would want a boyfriend who is a hoarder because of his ex-girlfriend…wait, what? No, yeah that came out right. But Clare, man. She is the strongest support system a guy could ask for. And selfish as I am, I could never throw that stuff out without her prompting me to.
So, as a way of showing my gratitude, I'm beginning to plan an amazing night out for our four month anniversary. I don't have anything planned yet…but I will soon enough. Hopefully. Maybe I should run this by Adam. He's a sucker for that romantic stuff.
I park Morty in the school parking lot and as I get out I see Clare walking towards me in her purple polo and knee length khaki skirt. She's the only person who could make this stupid uniform look so damn good. I smirk to her, as always. She smiles and looks the down, the blush inevitably rising to her cheeks.
"Good morning, Blue Eyes." I state when she's close enough to hear me.
"Hi Eli." She walks up to me and gives me a quick peck on the cheek. I grab her hand and we start walking towards the school.
"You know, I honestly won't care when you guys get suspended for PDA because I warned you enough times." Here comes Adam rolling his eyes at us. "You guys give me the runs," he says after scrunching up his nose. I unwillingly drop Clare's hand.
"Happy?" I ask him.
He wedges himself between Clare and I and wraps his arms around our shoulders. "I am now. Got my two best buds right here and there's Fiona coming towards us right now. I'll catch you guys later!" He exclaims as he practically sprints towards his girl. I look down at Clare who's beaming with a huge smile on her face as she looks up at me. I roll my eyes.
"What?" She asks. "They're cute."
"Whatever." I state as I open the door for her and we walk into Degrassi.
The bell signaling the start of another boring day at school rings and Clare and I begin to depart to our classes.
"See you at lunch?" I ask her as her back is to her locker and we're as close as possible without breaking any PDA rules.
Her face drops. "I, um, actually have a Christian Club meeting at lunch."
Damn Jesus Club. Always taking my Clare away from me. "That's fine. How bout I give you a ride home after school?" I quickly glance down the hallway and all I see are students rushing to get to class, no administration in sight. I inch my face towards Clare's.
As always, she stutters at our proximity. "Y-yea-yeah. Th-that would b-be-" I cut her off as I quickly touch my lips to hers.
"Later, Edwards." I say as I walk towards class. I glance behind and Clare's still standing there, fingertips brushing her lips, a blush very evident on her face. I turn back proud of the effect I have on her.
And that concludes chapter one. I will update soon. Thanks for reading! Reviews are always appreciated. :]
