I'm lucky just to linger in your light

"Let's go team!" Miley squealed as she watched Nick run across the field with the ball. He was a football player and Miley was the cheerleader. He was the captain, she was the captain. Perfect couple for four years. Fights here and there, but they made it together through everything. And now, watching him be the great player he was, Miley couldn't help but feel proud.

She was proud to be his girlfriend; she was proud to be his best friend. And she knew that no one could take him away from her. Too many tried and everyone failed. So now she knew; they were destined to be together. And it was a great mix too. She was the clumsy one and he was the athletic one. If it came to the looks, he owned that one too. At least that's what she thought.

Demi - her best friend - excitedly grabbed Miley's hand as Nick was about to shoot another goal - probably the winning one. Miley squeezed her best friends hand tightly as Nick raised his foot to shoot. He shot and of course made the goal. Miley squealed and jumped up and down with Demi, hugging her. Winning meant partying which meant spending more time with Nick than she was allowed to. Maybe she could even stay over his this time?

Nick turned his head in her direction and looked at her proudly. Miley grinned at him and showed him two-thumbs-up. He grinned too and blew her a kiss before he ran back to his position. The girls around Miley 'awed' as she blushed and put a strand of hair behind her ear shyly. They were jealous… she loved it.

"You're boy has got to be the best player like… ever!" Miley turned to Demi and rolled her eyes.

"In this school…" She hated bragging, no matter how good Nick was. Everyone said he was the greatest and Miley knew that. She just hated bragging. Demi scoffed.

"You only say that because… Well, you know it's not true." Miley giggled softly.

"I bet you he would say the same. It's called being modest." Demi rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. You know he's the best." Miley shrugged.

"Yeah, he is. It's weird because he's with me… me, out of all the girls in this school he could be with. He chose me." Demi smiled a little and put a hand on Miley's shoulder.

"You underestimate yourself. You are capable of doing so many things, Miley. And he really loves you. And you really love him too." Miley smiled and nodded as she looked out on the field again. They were fighting over the ball. Nick just got the ball back in a rather aggressive way. He was so into the game… Miley sighed dreamily.

She loved it when Nick would be this way. He looked hot while running, sweating, fighting… doing any kind of athletic thing. It sounded pathetic but she loved that about him. And to think that he was all hers…

Suddenly she heard a whistle. The game was over. The girls squealed and hugged each other before they made a run for the field and the boys. Nick was in the middle of the big group hug that was happening but Miley somehow managed to squish her way through the people.

"Ow! Girlfriend coming through! Hey, watch your hands!" She was pushed and pulled but she somehow ended up back to back with Nick. At first she didn't know it was him. But then she turned around and found his eyes. She smiled brightly and leaned forward, giving him a big kiss. He grinned and wrapped his arms around her. Like always, pretty much everyone around them 'awed'. Miley blushed a little and pulled back.

"Congratulations superstar." Nick chuckled and kissed her cheek. He then started pulling Miley out of the madness. People thankfully noticed that he wanted to leave the circle and stepped aside for their star and his girlfriend. Miley grinned at Nick as he grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Did you know you're like… the most awesome person ever?" Nick chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly.

"People tell me all the time." Miley giggled and pushed him a little before he put an arm around her. He kissed her head and lead her to the changing rooms.

"Am I even allowed in there?" Nick turned to Miley with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you plan on doing to me in there?" Miley chuckled and blushed a little.

"Uhm, I don't know. You lead me here!" Nick grabbed Miley's head as he opened the doors.

"I did. I just thought you wanted to change." Miley nodded and kissed Nick. He was confused but of course didn't complain as he wrapped his arms around her. Miley giggled and pulled back.

"You're amazing, you know that?" Nick smiled and put a hand on her cheek.

"Not as amazing as you are." Miley blushed and rolled her eyes.

"Please, you are the star around here. Every girl wants to be with you. It's like; you're the spotlight of everything. And I'm just a casual bystander." Nick shook his head and stroked Miley's cheek softly.

"Why do you think so low of you? You are the light here. Didn't you notice that as soon as you smile, everyone else smiles with you no matter what mood they are in? I know it's cheesy and all that, but you're smile is like the sun. And I'm luck just to linger in your light." Miley blushed and put her head on Nick's chest.

"You're the sweetest…" He grinned and kissed her head.

"Well, at least I'm not cute anymore." Miley rolled her eyes and looked up at him.

"What's so wrong with the word 'cute'? It's… cute." Nick chuckled and put his hand on her lower back.

"Well, I think I know your next birthday present." Miley looked at him confused.

"What is it?" He grinned at her with a playful glint.

"A dictionary." Miley glared at him.

"Ha ha, very funny, Nicholas." He chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I was just kidding." Miley nodded and put her head back down.

"Yeah, yeah, you're a jerk." Nick shrugged.

"But you love me anyway…" Miley giggled.

"Yeah, I wonder why sometimes. Anyway, I think it's time we leave for the party." Nick sighed a little and nodded.

"Yeah, back to the madness. I hope you do realize that I don't plan on letting you go." Miley looked at him confused. What did he mean? He chuckled and answered her silent question.

"I meant, tonight. I won't let go of your hand. Though, I might just have meant forever too." Miley looked at him with big and loving eyes before she kissed him again, this time deeper than before. He smiled and kissed her back. Just as Nick was about to lean Miley onto the wall, he heard the door open and his teammates walk in. He sighed and pulled back and smiled at her.

"I think you should leave now." Miley nodded and gave him another peck on the lips. She grinned at him and leaned forward to whisper in his ear.

"I love you." He grinned and kissed her cheek.

"I love you too… so lucky to linger in your light." Miley blushed and quickly left the locker rooms. She rushed into the girls' locker room and squealed. Demi looked at her confused.

"What's got you so… squeaky? I mean, yeah we won, but come on…" Miley rushed over to Demi and grabbed her arms.

"Get this…" And so she started talking to Demi about how sweet Nick was once again. Demi sometimes was jealous of Miley. She wanted a boyfriend like Nick. Not Nick, just one acting like him. But Miley deserved him. And Demi wanted Miley to have a boyfriend like that. After Miley had finished her story, Demi 'awed', just like she always did whenever Miley told a sweet story about Nick.
Yeah, she didn't like bragging… but sometimes it just felt too damn good not to.

Just some quick adorableness because we all need it right now, right? ;) Hope you liked it and thanks for reading :D
