Yes, here i am again, not on request. Inspired by tiramisuspice's one shot: Gains and Loss. It is amazing, go read it after you read this.
just a warning, this one is super duper short.
Riley, I Choose Myself- In which Maya does something for herself (and Lucas), much to the utter dismay of Riley (and at one point Farkle).
"Maya," Riley tilts her chin up, "Maya, I think we should both give up Lucas."
"Why?" Maya leans forward from her position against the bay window. She doesn't want to give up, not now when she finally has a chance with him.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt." Riley explains.
"Why would I get hurt?" Maya is beginning to feel annoyed.
"He might not choose you? Maya I won't be okay if you're in pain." Riley can't understand why Maya doesn't get it.
"What makes you think he wouldn't choose me?" Maya bites back.
"Because he likes me!" Riley voice rang out loud. Maya's face went blank.
"And if he chooses me? Oh no, wait. I don't even have a chance of that." Maya focuses on a point on the wall intensely. "You're Miss Perfect, and just when one thing starts to go my way, starts to move to my benefit- No! Because Miss Perfect doesn't just get a perfect family, she also gets a perfect life with the perfect boy and the broken best friend. But you know what, Riley? I'm tired of breaking."
"He's going to come back to me." Riley states, she tries to sound as confident as she can.
Maya flicks out her middle finger as she slides out of the window.
"Lucas." Maya says into her phone.
"Maya." He responds.
"Can we meet somewhere?"
"Topanga's?" He offers.
"Not Topanga's. How about that coffee shop a block away from there?"
"Okay... I'll be there in five minutes."
Then she waits.
"Maya, what is it?" She says nothing but stands up, grasps his shirt, and kisses him. She draws back a minute later.
"Do- do you- do you want to go on a date with me?" Lucas is slightly out of breath.
"What about Riley?"
Lucas doesn't say anything, he just bends down to kiss her again.
They stroll into school holding hands. Maya smiles at him, he smiles at her.
"Lucas." Maya says as she gazes into his eyes.
"Maya." Lucas says as he leans to kiss her.
That when Riley spots them, mid kiss.
"Maya! I thought we both agreed to give him up!" Riley is furious.
"I'm sorry Riley." Lucas leans a bit away from Maya and runs a hand through his hair. "I thought you were okay with it."
"I'm sorry, too." Maya looks apologetic.
"So you are going to give him up?" She sounds so hopeful.
"I have to do something for myself for once."
Okay, that was awful and short but whatever. Drop in a suggestion.
(Also, I actually do need more ideas... so)
