Nothing Works Without You

High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Chapter 1: The Start Of Something New

Troy sighed and rested his head on the steering wheel. The sky was pitch black, as were most of the lights in his house. He was mentally exhausted from all the pressure of his senior year and needing to find a college he was happy with… but all he wanted was to be close to Gabriella. He felt slightly more relaxed after talking to Mrs. Darbus at the school. She was a wise teacher, even though she tended to drive her students a little crazy droning on about the theatre. But after tonight, Troy found he respected her more than he had given her credit for. He had driven to the school late at night, without telling anyone, not knowing his drama teacher was there as well. All he needed was some time to scream, to work out his frustration at the world.

He got out of his truck and walked up the driveway in the pouring rain, his hands jammed deep in his pockets. As he quietly pushed open the front door, Troy noticed a faint light coming from under his bedroom door on the other side of the living room. He hoped Gabriella wasn't awake waiting for him. Her mom was on a business trip to New York, and she was staying with his family. Since she had become his girlfriend two years ago, Gabriella had no problem becoming a part of the Bolton family.

Troy kicked off his black Converse and slipped into his room, softly clicking off his desk lamp as he did. He paused for a moment, surveying the dim rim, lit only by the squares of pale moonlight coming in through his floor-to-ceiling windows. The storm still beat at the side of the house, and the moon disappeared behind the clouds for a moment. He smiled slightly when his eyes fell on the sleeping form of Gabriella. Her soft dark curls lay across the pillows, her face turned away from him on her side. Troy moved towards the bed, stripping off his shirt as he did and discarding it somewhere on the floor. He slipped beneath the covers, sliding one arm around Gabriella. Still asleep, she turned under his hand and snuggled into his chest, her hand resting lightly on his stomach. She stirred a little as he nudged her temple with his nose and kissed her hair.

"Mm… Troy…" she moaned sleepily.

He kissed her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," he murmured.

Gabriella's eyes fluttered open. She gazed with languid eyes at his handsome face, her deep chocolate orbs full of concern as his glazed eyes stared in emotionless defeat at the ceiling. She fingered his soft hair behind his ear. "Are you okay?" She whispered gently.

He sighed. "No." He leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the elegant curve of her neck. After a second kiss, Troy tilted his head, his lips trailing across her silky cheek before they stopped at the corner of her mouth, causing Gabriella to sigh. She turned her head slightly to capture his lips tenderly, her breath hitching as Troy responded fervently, his hand rubbing her side slowly. He broke the kiss a moment later to nuzzle the side of her nose.

"Gabriella," he breathed. "I need to tell you something."

"Mmm…"

He pulled away and pressed his forehead to hers. "I love you, Gabriella. More than anything."

"I love you too, Wildcat."

"I want nothing more than to be together for the rest of our lives. We're more than just some random high school romance. Our parents know that."

"I know," she whispered. "I love you so much."

"And I think we can be even closer…"

She watched his face. "How is that possible? Ohh…" It dawned on her. "Are you sure?"

"Do you not want it?"

She snuggled deeper into his arms. "I do… more than anything. I mean, it would be a big step for us… kind of solidifying our relationship in an even deeper way, if that makes sense."

"I'm not going to force you to do something you don't—"

Lifting one of her hands, Gabriella cupped the back of Troy's head, tilting it slightly, her slim fingers running through the messy strands of hair at the nape of his neck. In response to her affectionate move, Troy brought one hand up to stroke the soft skin of her throat, the motion making Gabriella moan softly.

"I say yes," she breathed.

Breaking the kiss a moment later, Troy leaned back in to gently suck on her bottom lip, initiating

another kiss before slipping his tongue through her parted lips. "We'll take it slow," he whispered.

Feeling her neck ache slightly at the strained position, Gabriella gently disconnected their lips, turning quickly within the confinements of his strong arms, before leaning up to connect their lips once more, their tongues tangling again, as if they had missed the two seconds of separation.

Minutes later the two of them pulled away, their need to breathe becoming slightly desperate. But, unable to resist, Troy swept back down to press one more kiss to her lips, grinned against her mouth before pulling away. He tugged on her tank top and pulled it over her head as she lifted her arms. She rested her chin on his shoulder while he fumbled with her bra clip, both panting with need. He looked into her eyes for permission before finally getting his prize, lowering the bra and reaching out to fondle her breast. Her nipples hardened instantly at his action and she stifled a gasp, leaning into his touch. Troy took both in his hands and began to gently massage them brushing his lips against her neck. He found her sweet spot and began gently suckling on the sensitive skin there. Gabriella's body tingled with pleasure at his ministrations as his hands found their way to the waistband of her shorts. She put a hand on his chest and pulled away, slightly gasping.

"You first."

A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth. He laid down and tugged his pants off, tossing them on the floor where they mingled with the other forgotten articles of clothing, leaving him in only his boxers. He drew his hand down her back until it came to rest at the top of her shorts. She obliged, slipping them off. Troy wrapped his strong arms around her and they fell back against the pillows. Their legs tangled immediately as Troy moved down to nuzzle between Gabriella's breasts, kissing sloppily down her front to her navel, his hands following down her sides and over her hips. She squirmed under his strong hands, whimpering with want. Troy's hand moved between her legs, stoking her thighs, his thumbs tracing circles on the soft inside skin. Gabriella's stomach turned to butterflies and she pressed her head into the pillow, squeezing her eyes shut.

Troy gently rubbed between her legs, where her wetness was beginning to soak through her panties. The girl above him moaned softly. In one swift motion, he removed the offending clothing, leaving her completely naked and exposed to him. Her body was slightly illuminated from the faint moonlight outside. He took a slow intake of breath as he carefully examined her. He pressed his fingers to his lips. "Mm… so beautiful," he whispered.

Gabriella instinctively moved her hands to cover herself. She wasn't used to being so vulnerable, but Troy swiftly moved to stop her.

"No, no, no, what are you doing?" He gathered her up, softly stroking her hair.

She curled into him, naked and scared. "I'm nervous, Troy. I…I don't know, I guess I'm just insecure."

He kissed her ear. "Baby, there's no need for you to be insecure. It's just me, okay? You are so beautiful. I wish you could see yourself the way I just did."

She looked up at him. "Really?"

"A work of art."

She bashfully glanced down and began tracing her finger on his chest, blushing.

"Hey," he slowly laid her back down, arranging her hair on the pillows. "If I'm going too fast, you tell me, okay? We're in this together. Do you trust me?"

She smiled softly and nodded.

"Good." Troy kissed her lips one more time before moving down her body. He lowered his head again, kissing his way up her thighs, and back down, scraping his nails lightly down her stomach, moving everywhere but where she needed him the most.

"Mm…Troy…" she gasped. "…please."

Finally, he obliged and kissed her square on her throbbing core. Gabriella mewled and wrapped her legs around his head making it hard for him to move as he nibbled her center with the greatest care. She tangled her hands in his hair, panting.

Troy smiled into her; she was getting wetter quickly. He tickled the bundle of nerves at her center with the tip of his tongue, and to his pleasure, her back arched and she stifled a cry. She quickly pulled away, sitting up and leaning towards him, motioning to his boxers.

"Off. Now. Please," she breathed.

Troy quickly shed them, his rock hard erection springing free. It had been becoming painful as he worked on Gabriella. Her eyes widened, and he realized she had never seen a penis before. Except for diagrams in health class, maybe.

"It's so big! How will it fit?"

Troy cupped her cheek. "Don't worry about that."

"Can I touch it?"

He fought down a grin and nodded, laying down and pulling her with him.

She laid her head on his stomach and stroked one finger down his shaft, feeling the firm yet soft skin. Then she leaned forward and drew her tongue up the extremely sensitive underside. Troy hissed.

Gabriella paused. "Did I hurt you?"

He threw one arm behind his head and stroked her hair with the other. "No," he reassured her. "Keep going."

Dipping back down, she softly kissed his tip and swirled her tongue around it, massaging his balls at the same time. Troy groaned and began to pant.

"Mm… ah Gabriella…" he growled.

She had never heard such a sound come from her sweet Troy… and it was making her so wet as she straddled his legs, rubbing her juices up his shin.

Troy stifled another gasp and tangled his hands in her soft hair. Slowly, he guided her mouth onto his cock, and she took all of him, nearly choking. Her teeth scraped up as she sucked on him. He growled again and leaned his head back, squeezing his eyes shut tightly. He could feel his cock getting painfully hard in the vacuum of her mouth. His hands tightened in her hair as he felt his balls throb, and he quickly yanked out of her mouth. They both fell back panting. Troy moved his hand up and down his cock a couple times, trying to relieve some of the pressure. Gabriella lay next to him, her nose in his ribs, breathing deeply. She loved the way he smelled, his scent one of the most comforting things to her in the world. He smelled slightly of peppermint, leather from basketballs, all adding to a certain smell that she could not place; something that was only for him. Troy's scent.

Troy buried his nose in her hair. "You ready?" He whispered.

Gabriella took a deep breath, trying to control the nervous butterflies in her stomach that refused to settle. She nodded.

"Protection?" He asked.

"I'm on the pill."

Troy's brow furrowed. "You are?"

"I have really bad period cramps, remember? Mom and I decided I should start taking it in hopes that it would help."

He relaxed. "Ohh right."

She kissed the corner of his mouth. "I'm ready," she whispered.

They looked at each other for a long moment, trying to control their breathing. Troy slowly got up and gently nudged her legs open, which she did willingly.

He positioned himself at her entrance, resting on his forearms on either side of her head. He pressed a slow kiss to her lips and neck.

"Troy?"

"Hm?"

Gabriella took a deep breath. "Will it hurt?" She asked quietly.

He pulled back slowly and stared deep into her eyes. She was scared and nervous. He was too, since this was both of their first times. But he knew that it would be a little painful for her, and he was going to do everything he could to make her comfortable.

He pressed their lips together. "A little at first, since we're both virgins," he said softly. He nuzzled the side of her nose. "But I'm here, okay? I don't want to hurt you, so we'll take it slow."

He rubbed his tip lightly against her entrance, and she moaned into his mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he held her head, pressing it to the crook of his neck with one hand while supporting both of them on his forearm. "You ready?" He whispered.

Gabriella nodded and Troy slowly pushed into her. Stars erupted behind her eyes as he broke through her virginity. The pain was sharp. "Troy," she cried softly. She pressed her head into his shoulder.

He stopped halfway in to let her adjust. "Shh, I'm here. I'm right here, it's okay, it's okay," he whispered into her ear.

She gasped as he held perfectly still, so patient, so comforting. His strong arms held her protectively, and she knew that nothing could hurt her. No one would ever take her virginity because he had it. The pain began to subside as he slowly kissed her ear and neck. "Okay," she nodded.

Troy began to move gently, slowly deeper into her, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. It was still hurting, but not as much as before. Bit by bit, he began to move slightly faster. Gabriella gasped as he slid in and out, his cock lubricated with her juices. He filled her to the brim and she felt so stuffed. Eventually, the pain melted into a deep throbbing of want; the need for him to go faster, deeper.

Troy needed it, too. Pressure was building in the pit of his stomach, making him even harder even as he thrusted deeper and slowly. Slow, on-point jabs, both of them moaning with every thrust. He began to move faster, slapping against her thighs. Gabriella balled the sheet beneath them in her fists. Her back arched and her eyes shut tight. Troy sensed a loud moan about to come from her and hastily slapped a hand over her mouth. They couldn't risk his parents waking up. He pulled her legs over his shoulders, penetrating impossibly deeper. Gabriella's eyes rolled to the back of her head. His tip was spearing her G-spot dead center. Her mouth was open in a silent scream, but all she could get out were gasps of pain and pleasure.

Troy needed to lie down. He was pounding into her so hard that a thin sheen of sweat had broken out on both of their bodies. He quickly flipped them without pulling out so that she was straddling him. She cried out at the sudden movement, so he gave her a couple seconds to readjust before resuming his hard upward thrusts. She leaned onto her hands, hovering over him, her hair tumbling onto his chest and swaying with every hard plunge.

"Troy… ah, Troy…mmmmahh!"

He was so powerful and strong, groaning with his sweaty hair falling into his eyes. His strong hands would definitely leave bruises on her hips with their vice grip. Gabriella could feel a coil tightening in her stomach with the immense full feeling. She couldn't hold herself up anymore, her arms were shaking so much. She dropped to her forearms, burying her head in his shoulder, sobbing. Continuing his incessant pounding, Troy pulled her head up and pressed their foreheads together, both breathing heavily.

"Look at me, Gabriella. Look at me when you come. I want to see your eyes."

She nodded slightly, but then squeezed her tear-filled eyes shut from the building pressure.

"Ngh… Gabriella, I'm close."

"Ahh, me too." She leaned her hands on his chest, sobbing slightly from the strange new sensations.

"Cum for me, baby. Come on!"

She bit his shoulder to keep from screaming. "Troy, ahh!"

"I know, baby, come on!" He could hardly feel her teeth in his shoulder as he rammed into her with incredible speed. His groans and her cries filled the room, along with the slapping of his balls banging into her. But he finally released into her, filling her to the brim with his semen. She could feel it shooting into the pit of her stomach, his warm seed taking over her cavern as he continued to pump into her again and again. She started with glistening brown eyes into his crystal bright blue ones as the coil released and they came together. They both elicited a loan moan as he continued to ram deeply, holding each thrust to get every last drop into her. He did this at least five more times before finally stopping.

They clutched each other for a long moment. He had not yet pulled out, and she was still straddling him, laying across his chest. Both were panting and sweaty. Gabriella was violently shaking from her orgasm and Troy held her tight, trying to catch his breath. He nuzzled her hair and stroked her back, whispering words of comfort and love. He was shaking too, but not as bad as her. He rubbed his hand up and down her back, tangling his other in her hair. "Shh…shh, it's okay. It's okay, I'm here."

Gabriella continued to lay shaking with her head to his chest, listening to his heartbeat as it gradually slowed its pace. It was like a lullaby to her and her breathing gradually slowed as well.

Troy turned his head towards her and slowly brushed his lips against her forehead, her cheek, her neck, before pressing them in a lengthy steamy kiss to her lips. He was so happy. They officially belonged to each other now.

"Troy?"

"Mm?"

"You own my virginity now."

He pulled back slightly. "And no one can take it from me."

She smiled tiredly. He pulled her back tightly for a long time. Realizing he was still inside her, he reluctantly pulled out, causing her to wince slightly.

"I love you, Wildcat," she murmured.

He nudged her cheek with his nose. "I love you more."

Gabriella curled up in Troy's arms, quickly falling asleep.

Troy lay awake for a couple minutes later, thinking. He certainly wouldn't have thought earlier that night at the school that this would have happened. They belonged to each other in a way that no one could take away. He fell asleep with a smile on his face, protective arms wrapped around his Gabriella.
