A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with something a bit longer (finally) lol. Hope you like it!
Sometimes all it takes is one look. One glance, one smile, one invitation to another's world.
It was a hot, crowded party with music too loud and a permanent smell of alcohol permeating the air. It wasn't ideal and it almost didn't happen. But she happened to look up from her group of friends to spot him dancing widely to some Taylor Swift song that definitely wasn't part of the original playlist.
He looked ridiculous, seemingly shaking every part of his body simultaneously. She laughed at the sight and somehow across the crowded room he looked up and happened to meet her eyes right then and there.
And there was a sparkle to them, a hint of mirth and a hint of a challenge, and invitation. She found herself smiling even wider and drifting towards him.
She couldn't dance all that well, but she sure has hell could match whatever the hell he was doing.
All it took was one look.

They saw each other on campus a few days later. He was walking to class, well more like running, when he caught a glimpse of her blonde hair walking toward him.
He would have ducked away or kept on going but their eyes met again and a flash recognition overtook hers. Her lips quirked into a smile and he could see the teasing glint among the grey. He felt his face flush but he stopped in his path nevertheless.
He could live up to his horrible dancing. Probably. Nevertheless, he moved forward with intention.
All it took was one look.

Things were going well. They had become friends in the past few weeks and it was good. But she wasn't sure where they were at. What did it all mean. She couldn't deny that she wanted to kiss him. But what he didn't feel the same way.
She looked up from her notes, the thoughts running through her head. She happened to catch his gaze and saw a glimpse wistfulness before embarrassment took over. It startled her. But now she knew.
He moved to duck his head after being caught but she lifted his head and met his eyes once more.
It led to a kiss and all it took was one look.

Things were not going well. They had been fighting for the past week, the stress of life and school and everything weighing them down. He hated the feeling, he hated the fights. He wanted them to stop. He wanted to scoop her in his arms and just hold her there. But what if this was really the end.
He ran a hand across his face and groaned, meeting her eyes through the gaps between his fingers. She looked tired, her eyes dulled and upset. And somewhere among the emotions was a yearning. A warmth passed through him at the sight. He knew now.
She crossed her arms, about to open her mouth to continue the fight but he stopped her before she could start by pulling her in a warm hug.
It led to apologies and all it took was one look.

He was nervous and excited all at once. She was jittery and thrilled at the same time. And they were both just a little scared.
She entered the room and immediately their eyes met.
It was across a cool crowded room, with music playing and the smell of flowers permeating the air. He wasn't dancing this time and she wasn't drinking. But their eyes met the way they had all those years ago in that fated party.
There was a hint of mirth, recognition, wistfulness, yearning and something that looked a hell of a lot like love.
The worry, the jitters, the nervousness were all gone now, replaced with happiness and a happy shine.
Their eyes remained locked as she walked down the aisle, and as they listened to the vows and as they said 'I do' and only closed when they leaned for a kiss.
And all it took was one look.
That one look would be the start of something amazing.
A/N: So what did you think? A look can be a very powerful thing, it can make and break relationships and change your life. Idk, just felt like writing and exploring this concept a little more.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thought! And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
