"Asha!"
"Alec!"
They both gave each other very surprised looks.
Alec took a deep breath. "Asha, I was just-"
"Don't talk. Just listen," Asha commanded, pushing Alec back into his apartment. "Life is too
damn short for you to push me away! You're right, anything could happen to either one of us at
an time, so we should take what we can get and go with it while we can! I know you're scared
one of us will get hurt, but I think you're more worried about emotional hurt that physical hurt.
And, newsflash, but emotional hurt is always a risk!"
"Asha-"
"Don't you Asha me," she snapped. "I'm not finished yet! Transgenic or not, everyone is scared!
But like you said, if you're not out there with you're heart on the line, then you're never living at
all! We both deserve a chance at a good life! Obviously, neither of us is getting that alone, so
maybe we can help each other."
"Asha, I-"
"I told you to just LISTEN! And not only can we help each other with that, but we can help each
other with the fear and pain. I'm not saying that nothing will happen, but whatever comes, we
can be there for each-"
"Asha!" Alec said, placing a finger over her lips. "I was trying to say, I was just going to find
you, apologize, and say pretty much everything you just said to me."
"Really?" Asha asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Really," Alec answered and leaned down to kiss her. She started to kiss him back, but then
pulled away.
"Why didn't you tell me then?!?" she asked loudly.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Yes."
Alec chuckled and kissed her again, this time holding her head in place so she couldn't pull away.
She giggled against his lips. But it was quite possibly the best kiss Alec had ever had. And
THAT was saying something.

No one ever said that love was gonna be easy
Gotta take the ups and downs, the in-betweens
If you take this journey gotta give yourself completely
Never let nobody ever step on our dreams
You better stop
Listen to these words that I say
You better stop
Don't you throw this good thing away
Put your trust in me
And I'll make you see
No the rain won't last forever
Find a way to make it better
Long as we can stand together
Love will find a way
Gonna make a new tomorrow
Say goodbye to tears and sorrow
Better listen when I say
Love will find a way
