Yay chapter 2!
…
The music started, and Austin began the routine he practiced with Ally. He moved fluently, no mess-ups, no stumbles, and Dez caught his every move.
Then, he began the song *.
"I see you there, and I stop
I know you see me too, and I drop
Because there's only you and me
And its only you I see."
~music break~
"Yes it's you, you do this to me
And I can't seem to stop myself anymore, whoo!
I find that I'm always looking your way
And I'm falling, falling, falling harder into you."
~music break~
"I can't help this, it's eating me alive
You're beginning to become a part of me
I need you more than you can ever understand
And I'll do anything to prove it to you and-"
~music break~
"Yes it's you, you do this to me
And I can't seem to stop myself anymore, whoo!
I find that I'm always looking your way
And I'm falling, falling, falling harder into you."
~music break~
"And now I'm begging you, please
Give me a chance to show you
That you're all I need now,
And I'll do anything for you."
~music break~
"Yes it's you, you do this to me
And I can't seem to stop myself anymore, whoo!
I find that I'm always looking your way
And I'm falling, falling, falling harder into you."
~music break~
"You make my head spin, my heart skip a beat
I feel like I'm floating off the ground with you near
And I can't help this, I'm in defeat
And all because I fell into you."
~music break~
"Yes it's you, you do this to me
And I can't seem to stop myself anymore, whoo!
I find that I'm always looking your way
And I'm falling, falling, falling harder into you.
Yeah I'm falling, falling, falling harder into yoooooooo."
When he finished, his face flushed and breathing hard, he looked right at the camera.
It was now or never.
"I hope you liked it," he said, looking, not at the camera anymore, but the face behind the camera, that had a clear look of shock on it. Austin and Dez locked eyes and just stared at each other. Ally was covering Trish's mouth, who looked like she wanted to scream in shock. Ally was smiling softly at the two boys.
But when Austin didn't get a response, he dropped his microphone and ran out of the store, leaving his friends behind.
…
Dez didn't move as his brain went into overload.
What do you expect? A snarky voice that sounded like Trish said in his thoughts, sounding as if she was smirking. Just like you got the hots for him, he's got the hots for you.
Shut. Up. I just… I need to think. Shit. Where did he go?
You didn't say anything, and he left. Better talk before you think next time! Dez shook his head and closed his camera.
"Where would he go?" he mumbled, trying to think of where Austin would have disappeared off to. He felt a small hand on his shoulder and looked to see Ally next to him.
"Try the fountain. That's where I found him yesterday." Dez nodded and ran out of the store too; he heard Trish scream now, but he ignored it.
He just wanted to find Austin.
…
The mall courtyard was dark and empty as he neared the fountain, which was still on and aglow with lights that wavered in the water. As Dez neared, he could make out the form of a teen boy sitting against the edge, one leg bent, the other straight out, his arms by his side as his eyes were closed. A little closer, and Dez noticed the tear streaks down his face.
"Austin," he said quietly, sitting next to his friend. Austin didn't move, but his breathing did speed up. When nothing was said, Dez decided to speak. "I…I didn't know you…" his voice trailed off then.
"No one knew," Austin said quietly, still with his eyes closed; his lips had barely moved.
"No one?"
"Ally suspected I think. She's the one who wrote that song."
"Oh… So you um… like… guys?"
"Not guys. You," he said quietly, and Dez felt his heart skip a beat at the feeling behind Austin's words. "But that doesn't matter. You don't feel the same. I just ruined our life-long friendship." Dez chewed on his tongue for a minute before speaking slowly, trying not to screw up.
"I…I've been feeling … weird around you lately," he started, smiling when he saw Austin open an eye shyly. "I didn't know what it was… Just little things, like watching you closer, watching you perform, watching your videos over and over again… then, when you sang…" Dez stopped, trying to form a sentence that was serious for once. "I felt… different. Like… it… just… it meant a lot to me, and I didn't even know it was me you were singing to." Austin nodded, waiting for Dez to continue.
"And?"
"I never really thought of guys that way, let alone you… I think I was in denial though..."
"What?"
"I mean, come on, you're Austin Moon. You could have any girl or guy that you wanted! Why would you want tall, goofy Dez?"
"That's exactly why I want you though. Because you're tall, goofy Dez!" Austin exclaimed, sitting up now so he could face Dez. "You're loud, insane, and my best friend. Who else could I want?"
"Well… I always thought there was something between you and Ally…"
"WHAT? No, there's NOTHING between us. I…. I like you," Austin said embarrassedly, putting both of his hands on the pavement below them, closing his eyes again. "I like you Dez," he said quietly, eyes still closed. "I love everything about you. Your smile, your laugh, your crazy red hair, your freckles, the way you dress… everything that makes you you, I love." Dez sat silently as Austin continued. "I mean, I just… I can't help it. I think it's because we're best friends that I feel this way. I know that I'm not really boyfriend material, but if you wanted to give me a chance…" his voice trailed off as a pale, freckled hand interlaced their fingers with his.
"Yes."
"Yes?" Austin asked, eyes snapping open again to look at Dez, who smiled.
"You think I could turn you down? Even if I didn't like you, after getting asked out like that I'd still say yes." Austin's face broke out in a gorgeous smile before he felt arms wrap around his shoulders and lips on his.
He was surprised when he felt a hesitant tongue push against his lips; he gave in and let Dez take control. Austin was dizzy as he and Dez connected with the pavement, lips moving together in perfect sync.
Austin had fallen hard for the over-active redhead.
And he couldn't be happier.

* I wrote this song myself, so if it sucks, eh, I'm not a songwriter am I? I just wanted something to go in here. But, if for some reason you would like to use this song for anything, please ask my permission first. Thank you. *
Okay, so this was… Idk. I wanted to at least try it.
If it sucked, I'm sorry. I don't watch Austin & Ally enough to know the characters in and out like MBaV.
But I hoped the person that requested it [sorry, I still can't remember -_-] liked it, and any other Austin/Dez fans liked it too.
Thanks for reading.
