Hello loves! Here is the second one-shot for Zevie month! I really hope you all enjoy this one.

Disclaimer: I don't own How To Rock, sadly. But if I did, Zevie would definitely get together in the next episode. Actually, they would already be together.

K, go read now. :)

*Zander's POV*

I walk into the band room but stop in the middle of the doorway once I see Kevin and Nelson up on the same ladder, hanging stuff from the ceiling, with Kacey standing below them, watching and texting.

"What are you guys doing?" I hear someone say from beside me. I turn my head to see Stevie standing next to me, and I smile at her, to which she returns. We both turn our attention back to the disaster waiting to happen in front of us.

"We're decorating for Christmas. Isn't it obvious?" Kevin says to us with a 'duh-isn't-it-obvious' look on his face. Kacey looks up from her phone and then at us, growing a devious smile on her face.

"What?" I ask her. She just motions with her head to above me and Stevie. We both look up and then at each other nervously.

Above us, there is a sprig of mistletoe. Why did this have to happen to me and Stevie of all people?

"I am not kissing Zander!" Stevie practically shouts.

I turn to her, "Gee, thanks for making me feel good about myself Steves."

She sighs, "It's not like that. It's just, you're my best friend. It'd be really weird."

"It's all good. I hear ya." I say back.

"It doesn't matter," Kacey says, walking towards us, "you two are under the mistletoe. You have to kiss. And not on the cheek."

We both turn to face each other and look at each other nervously. We both close our eyes and lean in at the same time, hesitating. Then, Stevie leans in all the way and kisses me quickly on the lips before pulling away and turning to face Kacey.

"There. Happy now?"

"Very," Kacey replies smugly.

Stevie rolls her eyes, "Whatever. Have fun keeping tweedle dumb and dumber from hurting themselves. I'm gonna head to first period." Then she turns and walks out the door. I turn around to watch her leave and disappear down the hallway and sigh. Did I seriously just kiss my best friend? And like it?

*Lunchtime, Stevie's POV*

All day. I've been trying to avoid Zander all day ever since we kissed under the mistletoe this morning. And it's kind of hard because we have most of our classes together. I walk into the lunchroom and sit down at our table, pulling out my notebook to try and get some of my homework done now so I that don't have to do as much of it after school.

After a minute or two, the rest of the band enters the lunchroom and makes their way to the table. Kacey sits down next to me and tries to explain to me the latest gossip going around, but I just keep ignoring her, making it seem like I'm actually listening. I've gotten pretty good at it. Kevin and Nelson are sitting across from us, playing the newest version of Furious Pigeons while also trying to eat pizza. How they do that without getting pizza everywhere I do not know.

Then, the one person I've been trying so hard to avoid, sits down next to me really closely. I mean, we've always sat pretty close to each other, but I guess since this morning, I've been more aware of things that go on between the two of us. "Stevie?" I pull out my thoughts and turn my head towards the voice that just spoke. Zander.

"Yeah?" I answer.

"I was just asking if you're okay."

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay? I'm totally okay. I'm more than okay. And I think later, I'm still gonna be okay." I ramble nervously. Smooth move Stevie. Why am I so nervous? It's not as if I like him or anything. At least….NO! I can't like him! He's my best friend. Although, he is really talented, and he's really nice, and funny, and cute, and….Woah, wait, what?!

"STEVIE!" I turn towards Zander again.

"What?"

"Why do you keep spacing out on me?"

"No reason. I'm probably just tired."

"Okay." He says unconvinced. There's a moment of awkward silence between the two of us where Zander and I are just looking at each other. Which is really weird, because Zander and I aren't ever awkward.

At the sound of someone clearing their throat, we turn to see Kacey smiling at us. We both sigh and look up above us. There is a very long stick attached to the table, slanted, with some string attached to the end of it. And hanging off the string is, you guessed it, mistletoe.

I turn to face Kacey, "Really Kacey? Again?"

She holds up her hands defensively. "Hey, it wasn't me. But I wish it was."

I sigh and turn back to Zander, "Let's just get this over with."

"Alright," he says back and starts to lean forward. I lean forward too, and soon enough, our lips are touching. This kiss is a few seconds longer than the one that we shared this morning and I feel a small spark as soon as our lips touch. When the spark disappears after a couple seconds, I pull away quickly and look at Zander nervously.

"I, um, I gotta go, to the uh, bathroom!" Zander says awkwardly and then stands up from his seat, grabbing his backpack and rushing down the hallway to the boy's bathroom.

"You guys sooo like each other." I turn my head to see Kacey smiling really big.

"Pfft. What?! We do not like each other. We're best friends and band mates, there'd be…issues." I say back to her.

"Mm-hm." She says, not at all convinced with my lousy excuse.

"Trust me on this Stevie. By the end of the day, you guys will be together."

"Whatever Kacey," I roll my eyes and grab my backpack, getting up from the table, "I'm going to the library. Goodbye."

"You know I'm right about this Stevie!" She yells after me as I walk away, "I always am!"

Oh Kacey. I really hope you aren't right.

*After school, Zander's POV*

Kissing Stevie. That is what I have been doing all day since lunch. And only because of all the mistletoe that we just so happen to end up standing underneath of. Ever since this morning, each one of the kisses that we share, seem to get longer, like we're getting more and more used to the idea of kissing each other constantly. It's really weird though, because all the mistletoe we end up under, is in places that Stevie and I are always at together. It's almost as if someone planned all of this, by watching our every move….NAH! Impossible.

"Hey Zander!" I look up to see Stevie standing in front of me. The way that she's standing, the light from the band room hits her just right to really bring out the beauty in her hair. That beautiful, luscious hair, and those gorgeous brown eyes that I could just get lost in. Woah. Where on earth did that come from? I can't like Stevie, can I? But it could be possible, cause we spend so much time together, and those kisses. They were just absolutely amazing. Maybe I do like her…

*No one's POV*

"Zander!" He pulls himself from his thoughts to see Stevie bending over slightly and waving her hand in front of his face.

"Oh, hey Steves! What's up?" He asks her.

"Not much," she drops her bag and sits next to him on the couch, throwing her legs over his, "don't wanna go home though. Parents are being jerks again. Mind if I crash at your place tonight?"

"Sure thing. As if I even have the option of saying no, you'd come over anyways."

"This is true." She says nodding her head. "You know me so well Z."

"Of course I do. Is there anyone who knows you better?"

"Not a chance." She smiles at him. He smiles back.

They both sit there in a comfortable silence like always until he looks up. "Umm, Stevie?"

"Yes?" She answers, her head back and eyes closed, trying to relax.

"You might want to look up."

She sighs and opens her eyes, and then they widen. "Seriously?! Again?! We've been doing this all day!"

"Come on. One more time can't be that bad. We should be used to it by now."

"I know. It's just so frustrating. Everywhere we go, there's more mistletoe! It's just so, so-" her sentence is cut off by his lips on hers. His hands move to cover her lower back, while her hands move to his hair, tangling themselves in it. They both pull away from the kiss, breathing heavily, foreheads resting against each other.

"I think that was the longest one yet," he points out, causing Stevie to smile.

"Yeah," Stevie says back, "And I think it was the best."

They both just stay there for a moment in complete silence. Neither of them saying a word. Just enjoying the moment.

"Hey Stevie?" He finally speaks up.

"Yeah?"

"Well, um, today got me thinking, I don't want to have an excuse such as mistletoe to kiss you. So, will you be my girlfriend?"

She looks at him deep in the eyes, and then leans forward again, putting her lips on his. He kisses back and she pulls away. "Does that answer your question?" she asks him with a smile on her face.

"You know, I don't think the answer was clear enough. Maybe you'll have to tell me again." He smiles at her.

She just rolls her eyes and then leans forward again. Maybe Kacey IS right about these things…..

Well, did you all like? Cause I think it was good. Tell me what you think in the reviews! Please and thank you!
