A/N: Welcome to my new story :) I will let you read it now without further notice because I don't want to accidentally reveal TJ's and Vince's surprise. Please enjoy :)
Seventeen-year-old TJ Detweiler sat on the bleachers of the school's football field, thinking about the next day. Not only would Vince and him have an important football game tomorrow, but also their lives would change forever.
So much had changed since elementary school, but a few things had stayed the same. All six of them were still the closest friends, but four of them were even more than that. It had taken Vince and him long enough to admit their feelings to the two girls in their group but two years ago they had finally made a move.
Even if Vince and Gretchen couldn't be more different they fit perfectly together. TJ could still remember Gretchen's surprised face when Vince had confessed to her in front of their group of friends. A few minutes later the news of the quarterback and the top pupil being together had spread like wildfire. Most of the girls at school had been devastated about the new relationship, but neither Gretchen nor Vince had really cared.
TJ had become a successful football player himself and had just like Vince his own group of female fans at school. However he could care less about it, because there had always been only one girl for him. He smiled when he remembered how Spinelli and him had become a couple two years ago.
Flashback
The football game ended with a win for their school's team and their friends came down on the field to congratulate them. Gretchen wore Vince's letter jacket and hugged him shyly. The two had been together for a week and were still a little unsure about showing their affection in front of people.
TJ smiled at the sight in front of him. Then his eyes moved to Spinelli who was smiling at the new couple too. She looked happy for their friends, but TJ recognized the same sadness in her eyes he felt at the moment. He knew that he wanted to see her in his letter jacket coming down to him after a game to congratulate him just like the couple in front of them was doing, but could it really be that she wanted that too? Maybe he was just hoping so much for it that he imagine things. However there was a little chance that she would want that too and he had to go for it.
"Spinelli can I talk to you for a minute?"
Beautiful brown eyes met his and he gulped nervously.
"We will be right back guys." She announced and the two went behind the bleachers.
Sometimes it still amazed TJ how good they understood what the other meant. She had known immediately that he wanted to speak to her in private without being exactly told.
They were now out of sight and earshot of their friends so TJ stopped to face Spinelli. She was looking on the ground almost shyly, something that was untypical for her. TJ wondered if she had an idea what was coming.
"Spinelli I-I..." She wasn't even looking at him, but he felt as if he was going to confess to her in front of thousands of people. He hadn't known that it would be so difficult. Vince had seemed so cool about it when he had told Gretchen. Why couldn't he be like this too? He had to try a different approach. Struggling out of his letter jacket he implemented one of his famous plans.
"Spinelli would you wear this for me?" He asked nervously, holding the jacket out for her to take.
Her head snapped up immediately and her eyes stared at the object in front of her.
"But TJ that would mean t-that-"
"Yeah it would. Do you want this?"
Both of them knew that they weren't only talking about the jacket anymore.
"I think I would like that."
It was the first time he had ever seen her blush and he couldn't help but think that she looked even more beautiful with it. Of course he would never tell her that because she would definite punch him for it.
Flashback end
TJ grinned at the memories. After that they had shared their first real kiss without the whole elementary school watching. When they had broken the kiss for air she had called him a dork for confessing this way, but since that day she had always worn the jacket to every game.
"Hey man, thinking about tomorrow?" Vince's voice brought TJ out of his thoughts. He had almost forgotten that he was here to meet Vince.
"More like thinking about the past."
Vince nodded in understanding and sat down next to him.
"Remember the last time we sat here talking seriously about the girls?"
"Yeah...it was the day before you confessed to Gretchen and a week before I told Spinelli."
"That was almost two years ago. I can't believe how long ago that was." Vince mused.
"You remembered how bad our fangirls took it?"
"I thought the Ashleys were about to start a cat fight."
"Well if they had started one Spinelli would have handled it." TJ said proudly.
"True. Maybe that was the reason they didn't start one." Vince said laughing.
"Good old times." TJ joined the laugh.
After the two had calmed down Vince spoke up.
"Hey man, are you sure about tomorrow? Are we really going to go through with it?"
They had been the best buddies for so long now that they felt comfortable talking about everything so TJ answered truthfully.
"I am nervous. You know, not because I am not sure I want to spend the rest of my life with Spinelli, but because maybe some people will think we are too young."
"I know what you mean. I thought along the same lines, but it feels right to do it now."
"Yeah..." TJ agreed.
"Let's just hope everything will go fine tomorrow."
"Scared she will say no?" TJ smirked.
"No." Vince smirked back. "And even if she does she wouldn't punch me on top of that like Spinelli would."
"You got a point there."
The two friends talked for a while longer, giving each other courage before the big day tomorrow.
A/N: I am guessing all of you figured out what the surprise is gonna be. If not don't read this author note further. I know it's untypical for me to write a future fic for Recess so let me explain how that came. Dragonsprit asked me if I could make a story where TJ and Vince propose to the girls so I took the challenge and wrote this. I hope this is going in the right direction and all of you like it. Please review and tell me what you think :)
