Dawson & Joey take on the challenges of being in love.

Dawson: Wait, Joey

He grabbed my shoulder and I turned to him, feeling annoyed. I looked at him and he grabbed my head and kissed me. After a few minutes I pulled back slowly and smiled happily. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe me, or this kiss, was I still alive? Or just dreaming? All I know is that this can't be real. Dawson Leery did not just kiss me.

Joey: What was that?

I whispered as I kept my smile alive. He smiled back. The best part was that he smiled like I've never seen before. I've seen Dawson do everything, except smile the way he smiled this moment.

Dawson: It was a kiss, Joey

Joey: You kissed me. Not a friendly kiss. You actually kissed me.

Joey: What does this all mean?

Dawson: It means that I saw past you as my best friend. Joey, I really want this and I've never been so sure about anything in my life except this. I love you.

I chuckled under my breath and didn't want him to see a tear in my eye.

Joey: How do you know Dawson? I mean I know that you just kissed me and that should be a clue, but how do you really know that you aren't doing this to make our friendship or relationship better. Because being a couple won't mean minimizing the fights or the tension we have between us, Dawson.

He quickly put his hands on my waist.

Dawson: I know that. I know it won't erase anything in the friendship or the past problems. But if it makes things harder or the problems get bigger, Joey, I know it's worth it if it's with you.

I smiled and couldn't argue. He laid on his bed and smiled at me. I looked at him in confusion and he patted the sat next to him.

Joey: Dawson, I definitely can't sleep in the same bed with you.

Dawson: I'm not asking you to. Just for a little bit.

I sat down on the bed and he sat up and took off my baggy blue jean jacket and I laid down with him. He cozily put his arms around me and I felt like the luckiest girl to be with Dawson.

Dawson: Joey?

I laid there looking at the bed as he held me close.

Joey: Yeah Dawson?

Dawson: Will you be my girlfriend?

I smiled and told him exactly what he and I wanted to hear.
