So, hey there

This is basically a whole story of one-shots, some fluffy, some . . . not. It can be about any of the Drake Chronicles characters, just review and say which ones you want a one-shot about. It is mainly Lucy & Nicholas though. What do you think?

R&R!

Disclaimer: I just text Alyx, she says I still can't own the Drake Chronicles. Bitch. -_-

It's so easy for it to be

Something you second guess

Easy to read

Don't let it become

A meaningless routine

Our Little Secret

Lucy (POV)

Tuesday, 2: 45 am.

I smiled as Nicholas and I walked into the Drakes' lounge room. The smell of flowers, mainly roses and irises over-whelmed me as I sat down on the sofa. Nicholas didn't sit down, though. He just paced up and down, deep in thought.

"Nicholas?"

They didn't fully know about us yet. The Drakes, I mean. Helena – the new Queen of the Vampires, after killing former Queen, Lady Natasha – has sent Nichols home to check and catch up Geoffrey on what had happened at the Royal Courts. She'd basically ordered him to take me with him, for my 'own safety'. *Mental eye roll.* Helena said that she needed to sort some things out or something about the Royal Court documents. I didn't really listen, as I was focused on the fact that Nicholas had grabbed my hand and tried to protect me. He had always protected me, but this time it was something different. He usually was like, 'Oh, you're my sister's best friend, I have to protect you.' But this was a, 'I'm doing it for myself' one.

I think that me and Nicholas or dating, now . . . I mean, there isn't anything official, it isn't written on paper or anything, but with all of the events leading up to now, I kind of think that we at least have 'a thing'. When we were driving back to the Drake Compound from the Courts, he kept holding my hand or putting his hand on my thigh or knee. The only reason he took his hand away from me was when he had to change gear or something. Other than that, he was always touching me.

That sounds so weird.

He started drawing little patterns and circles in my palm with his thumb

I didn't say anything to him, though. I didn't want to ruin anything we did or did not have, and I always seem to open my big mouth and say something which goes and changed everything.

"Nicholas?" I said again, realising that he hadn't responded.

I had to ask, though.

He stopped pacing and looked at me. "Yeah?"

"What are we?" There, I said it. And so forth, it get's ruined. I crossed my fingers.

"We're Nicholas and Lucy."

"Yeah, but . . . Er, well . . . I-. Er, I thought maybe-. Oh, it doesn't matter," I stuttered.

"What, Lucky?" he said, smirking. Smirking? Why was he smirking? Ugh, I'll never understand Drake boys.

"Doesn't matter."

"No, no, do tell."

"No . . ." I stood up from my seat and walked over to him.

"You wanna know a secret?" he whispered.

"Always," I grinned.

"I think you like me."

I laughed, but didn't say anything.

"And I like you too," he said, smiling. This seemed so weird for Nicholas, because we weren't arguing. But, I guess this time had to come sooner or later . . .

I didn't say anything, but I thought that he was being serious. I think. I hope.

Then he did something I had waited for for months. He kissed me.

Nicholas (POV)

I kissed her. I somehow knew that she won't object, but I was kind of scared. I was just glad that she didn't punch me. When I realised that she was kissing back, I wrapped my arms around her waist and closed the gap between me and her. It was a short, sweet kiss, something that I'd wanted forever. I'd waited for years for that kiss, sure we'd kissed before but they had a 'reason'. She thought that I had only kissed her for the sole purpose of to find out whether or not my pheromones worked on her.

Truth is, I know that they don't work on her; I just wanted to kiss her. Shocker, right? Not really.

I pulled back, giving her a half smile, unsure of what she was going to do. She lifted her hand, and I flinched back, thinking she was about to punch me and break my nose again. She laughed weakly and then suddenly we were kissing again. I don't even know who kissed who, it all happened so fast, maybe it was mutual?

It started off innocent. Well, sort of. My hand went to her cheek and cupped her pale face. I could smell her lemon shampoo as my lips moved across hers. I liked the way my lips felt against hers they were soft and warm, she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer as she moaned into the kiss, her tongue dusting my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I gave it to her gladly, smiling into the kiss. I noticed that my fangs had not extended, and pulled her even closer, so that nothing could come between us, even air. She started to suck on my bottom lip as I was dragged away from my thoughts and could only think of her. My tongue started to get on to what she was doing, and the tip of our tongues touched, after that it was pretty much Justus attempting to swallow each other. Sounds nice, I know. I won't go into any more detail, because I think that it would just be a little, well . . .

We pulled back at the same time, and just looked at each other. We both burst out laughing, unknown of the reason.

"So . . . "Lucy said. "Does this mean that we're dating?"

"Yeah," I smiled.

"Alright then, one question though," she said, stopping laughing, just smiling. "How long?"

"How long what?" I asked confused.

"Have you liked me? How long have you liked me?" she repeated. "Is it just now, or . . .?"

"Oh, well, that's a long story."

"I've got time."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her up to my tiny room. I sat on the bed and let go of her small hand, grabbing the photo of us out of the draw I had not-exactly-discreetly placed in the bedside table draw. I held it in my hands, smiling at it wordlessly.

"Well . . . It isn't really that long. Two years."

I looked up from the photo and saw her looking shocked.

"Seriously? Two years? Why didn't you say anything?" She hit me.

"First of all, ow. And really, Lucy? If I'd have told you that I liked you, two years ago today, what would you have said?"

"Well . . ."
"You know that you would have laughed it off and thought I was kidding. Come on, Lucy, be honest."

"Fine," she dropped her head. "Yeah, I probably would have. But, why now? Why decide on now?"

"Well, you may have noticed my mini-confidence boost. Well, not really. Quinn told me to tell you. Well, tell isn't the right word. He threatened to tell Solange about it, and you know Solange. She'd be deciding baby names after a day."

She laughed, taking the picture into her tiny hands, and staring at it. "Two years," she mouthed, shaking her head.

"I'm sorry?" I said, not quite sure of what to say and do. She looked up at me smiling.

"Why me, though? For God's sake, Nicky, you're a freaking vampire. You have the ability to have anyone. You could have Megan Fox if you wanted."

"But I don't want Megan Fox."

"I know that, but why don't you? Why aren't you like Quinn and Logan? Endless amounts of girls, just like Joey."

"Who, now?"
"Oh, come on, Nicky! How you doin'?"

"I'm fine . . ."

"Ugh. How do you not know Joey? Anyway! What's so amazing about me?" she shrugged, laying back on my tiny single bed, facing the ceiling. I joined her, turning my body so I could see her face.

"Because you're Lucky Hamilton. You're beautiful, you care about people's feelings, you care about animals, you always have a smile on your face, you make jokes at the most inappropriate times, you laugh at everything, you're funny, you're pretty, you're sweet, you're kind, you're cute, I could come up with a list of things. I just love you."

I looked at her and she was grinning at the ceiling. "You are the cutest boyfriend ever," she said, still smiling.

"Oh, and I love you're smil-" I was cut off by her kissing me. It was just like before, only sweeter and more innocent.

"Are we telling them?" she said, after we parted.

"Not for now, just let them figure it out. It'll be easy."

"For now, it's our little secret."

YESH I USED THE TITLE OF THE STORY IN MY STORY;)

Anyway, should I do more? Should I do the letter/list our beloved Nicky mentioned?

Thoughts & ideas welcome! Review your ideas for other one/two shots. Which characters for each one-shot?
