A/N I really hope you guys like this. This chapter, I threw in because it's just plain fun. And because I love Brian. And, okay, as a reversal of Bender and Claire always being hot and heavy.
I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
-I Could Fall In Love, Selena
Brian Johnson had been having a good day.
He'd made the highest grade on his Latin test and his French quiz. He'd had a fun lunch with his old friends that actually didn't involve talking about school, and did involve talking about movies other than Star Wars, which (although he'd never confess it to Dell and the others) he actually hadn't liked. Some random popular girl had actually spoken to him and started a conversation with him (he was still trying to figure that one out. Maybe she was working her way up to asking him to tutor her or something.)
And then there was this.
"This" meaning him finding himself being dragged into a closet by his adorable, sweet girlfriend.
Although those weren't quite the words he'd use to describe her right now.
She was anything but adorable, and the look on her face wasn't sweet. In fact, she looked…well, there was no other word for it than "hot."
Brian, ever the gentleman, had always hated it when guys called girls that. It never made any sense to him and always sounded a bit barbaric.
But now he understood it. Because as she sat there before him, sitting on a desk and swinging her short legs, Saidie Heyer was hot.
He had to admit, he was a little confused as to why she'd pulled him in here, and why she was looking at him so intensely.
Was she mad at him? Had he done something wrong already?
He looked down at his white sleeveless T-shirt and his jeans and shoes. He wasn't quite sure what to do; as Saidie wasn't doing anything but still staring at him.
"What's up?" he finally asked, trying to mimic Bender's coolness.
Then she smiled at him.
"Um, we should be going now. You know, to class. Um, can I walk you?" he asked nervously, still confused.
She smiled wider, then let her smile fade. And then, she let her eyes flicker and held up a finger and motioned for him to come closer to her.
And that's when Brian realized why she'd pulled him into that closet. And for the first time in his entire life, any thought of class or being late went right out of his head.
He moved to sit down beside her on the desk in what little room on it she wasn't taking up. But she gently grabbed his wrist to stop him.
Even with her sitting on a high desk, Brian still towered over her a bit. He looked down at her, asking a question with his eyes.
If only he could have read her thoughts. She loved seeing that hair near his eyes. She loved his eyes, period.
"I've missed you," she whispered. They hadn't seen much of each other, what with school work and Brian's Latin and Physic Clubs and her book club and softball and other activities, and with Brian being there for Andy.
Brian didn't think she could have been aware of this, but there was something both sweet and seductive about the way she said it.
Damn those practically black eyes of hers. They were going to be the death of him.
Later, when he thought about it, Brian would blame what he did next on Bender rubbing off on him too much.
He moved closer to Saidie and squeezed her legs to separate them so that he could stand between them. He whispered into her ear, "I missed you, too." They hadn't even really had time to have a date since school started.
Then he kissed her, intertwined his left hand with her right hand, and touched her face with his other hand. He slowly let his hand drop down to her shoulders.
Big mistake to do that . Yep, definitely the product of Bender's bad influence.
At least, that's what he told himself, as his fingers touched Saidie's bare skin through one of the many slits down the arm of her shirt.
Maybe it was because he was a virgin. Maybe it was just because he liked the girl so damn much. Or maybe it was because her skin was just so soft and smelled like a mixture of baby oil and one of those girly lotions. But whatever the reason, the feel of her bare skin was able to wake up something in Brian that not a soul on earth, including he himself, could have known was there.
He touched her softly under every slit in that shirt, on every place her arm was bare. And then he pulled her in closer and kissed her harder.
And that made her groan softly. It must have awoken something in her, too, because she groaned again and then slid her tongue into his mouth, while also sliding her hands into Brian's back jean pockets.
Caught off guard, his hands slipped down to her hips.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, until they both realized that neither of them had done anything like this before. Then they pulled apart, both catching their breath.
Brian blushed something awful, and Saidie sat there grinning happily. Then she grabbed his shirt collar, pulled him back to her and gave him another brief kiss. He looked at her and, unable to resist, touched her chocolate, smooth skin again (Brian wasn't sure why, but he wanted so badly to put his lips to that skin, to bite it) while she looked into his blue eyes. He could have stayed like that forever.
But eventually he let go of her shirt and Saidie hopped down off of the desk.
"I've wanted to do something like this since I saw you on the first day of school." She said, trying to sound confident, but not completely able to cover up her nerves and her disbelief at what she had just done.
Then she opened the door and was gone. Chains, ripped shirt, ripped jeans, leather gloves, and all.
And Brian had to lean against a wall to steady himself as he realized his virgin, Christian, brainiac, bookworm girlfriend was also kind of a sexy badass rebel when she wanted to be. And he wanted her to be. He wanted her to be more than he sometimes wanted to be that himself.
A/N Whew. Okay. I really hope you guys enjoyed this little chapter. Please let me know what you think. Was it too much, or not hot enough? Realistic? Unbelievable? Something you'd like to see more of? Never ever do it again?
