AN/ CHAPTER 6! OH MY GAWD! I can't believe how far this is going, It might just go aLL THE WAY! Lol, Yeah, I'll finish this some day. Probably soon even.
Sorry I didn't get this EXTREMELY FLUFFY chapter out by Christmas, been having a bit of trouble at home, but here you guys go! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Don't be surprised, this chapter really is nearly all fluff-trash, but I'm kinda really happy with it. These nerds are just wow. I can't even!
I DON'T OWN THE SONGS IN THIS FANFICTION OR THE CHARACTERS. LAPIS. STOP LIKING ALL THE MUSIC, YOU'RE GONNA GET ME IN TROUBLE WITH ALL THESE CATCHY TUNES!

"I don't think I can verbally answer that question.. would you object if I moved to show you the answer instead?"

"No, I wouldn't." Lapis nodded, satisfied with that response. She stood and walked over to the old record player with brisk strides, picking a large vinyl disk out of a case and placing it onto the player before flipping the power switch. She must have practiced for this moment before hand as she knew just where to drop the needle on the spinning disk to make it play the song she wanted.

The music started with a slow but up-beat tune, the speakers picking up nicely on the bass but not over-shooting and throwing off the soft melody. Lapis stood at the record player for a moment as if she were waiting to see if she really wanted to do this or if she'd chicken out, but as the music rolled on, her shoulders relaxed and her eyelids slid closed. Just listening, waiting, for the words. Confidence slowly building.

I dunno but..

I think I maybe fallin' for you.

Peridot raised an eyebrow at the other, a small smile tugging at her lips at how incredibly cheesy this woman is. She was impressed that she actually had a vinyl of this artist. When did they make modern records anyway?

Droppin' so quickly,

maybe I should..

Keep this to myself,

wait until I, know you better-

With a deep breath, the brunette opens her eyes and turns, walking to stand in front of the other. A wide blush across her tan face, clear up to the tips of her ears, and down her neck. She wouldn't make eye contact with the other as a twitchy hand had come up to scratch the back of her neck nervously. Her feet shuffled a little as she chewed the inside of her lip, unsure of what to do with herself in the moment.

Could a person be any more adorable than this girl right now?

I am trying..

Not to tell you,

but I want to.

I'm scared of what you'll say.

Peri stepped forward, gently placing her hand on the shorter's shoulder. The contact seemed to take the brunette out of whatever thought she was in and made her look up at the blonde. Peridot's eyes were something special; Green, a calculating citrus color that shined something bright when she was mulling over something thoroughly. These eyes were inescapable. Inevitable. They were the refreshing spring after a cold winter and the smoldering summer with a promise of long warm days spent by the campfire.

So I'm hidin',

what I'm feeling..

But I'm tired of,

Holding this inside my head

Like laying in the grass and looking up through the leaves of a massive oak tree, talking about life and the future with a close friend.

Light through the leaves, that's exactly the color of Peridot's eyes in this very moment.

How many days had Lapis been staring into those eyes and not noticed how beautiful they were?

How beautiful she is...

I've been spendin' all my,

time, just thinkin' bout ya..

I dunno what to do,

That hand on Lapis's shoulder slid up to her cheek as the blonde stepped forward, gently snaking an arm around her middle, bringing them closer together and taking her into a light embrace. A blush also dusted Peridot's cheeks, but it wasn't anywhere near as expansive as the shorter's.

I think I'm falling for you.

"You are a very musically oriented person." Peridot mused as she watched the other girls face. Being this close to the other female was frightening and exciting at the same time, like at any moment she'd wake up alone in her room three minutes before her alarm clock was set to go off. Lapis made an embarrassed squeak noise before she buried her face in the taller's shoulder, barely concealing the exaggerated color her face had become in the fabric of the other's shirt.

"Shadup, I learned and developed my English accent from modern pop music. Sue me." Her voice was slightly muffled, but Peri heard every word and smiled, nuzzling into the girl's hair with a hearty chuckle. The music becoming more like comfortable background noise that they gently swayed to as they conversed.

"Ey, don't worry bout' it, I'm just teasing ya. It's actually really cute.."

A silence had spread between them as they stayed like this, held in a warmly intimate dance to a song that was probably too quick for a slow dance, but they didn't care. Here and now, it was just them in this room.

I can't stop thinkin' bout it,

I want you all around me..

And now I just can't hide it,

I think I'm fallin' for you..

"Peri..?" That voice was so small, needy almost as the shorter gently gripped Peridot's shirt. Looking up at her from her position in those hard, cold arms.

"Yes Lapis?" Meeting her gaze, they shared another silence, something building inside both of them along with the ending of the song. They both knew what was coming next, their hearts beating faster in their chest, breathing stopping entirely as Lapis leaned up on her toes to bring their lips closer together until the only thing that separates the girls was the final verse.

"I think I'm fallin' for you.."

Finally. A meeting of lips commenced as Peridot bridged the gap, sending electricity through both parties. Fireworks exploded behind closed eyes with their very first actual kiss.

Though this special moment was interrupted almost as soon as it began by the voice of the announcer booming loudly through the speakers, effectively throwing the girls out of the happy-place they'd built together with information about the people taking part in the race today. Surprise, shock, and confusion quickly passed before both girls were nearly doubling over in laughter.

This announcer had impeccably great timing.

Collecting themselves before hugging briefly, they decided on watching the game. Both girls sinking into the couch hand in hand. Conversation occasionally casually passed between them. About three hours in they came to the conclusion they had no idea what was going on in the track because they were both too busy making silly jokes and cuddling.

Pizza having been finished a long time ago and more than half a box of soda was gone, night had already fallen but the lights of the track kept the race going for a few more laps. The room had grown darker though, shadows delicately playing along the walls. Lapis leaned into the taller's side, taking the girl's forearm and holding it against her chest as she yawned.

Green turned from the cars to watch as blue begun to flutter closed. She must be very tuckered out, but just before she could fall asleep, Lapis turned her tired eyes up to the other one last time, "Peridot?"

"Yes?"

"Will you be my girlfriend..?"

A wide smile split the taller's expression "would you object if I showed you the answer?" Now it was time for the smaller to smile as Peidot gently brushed some of her dyed bangs out of her eyes before slipping her fingertips under the girl's chin, lifting her face slightly.

"No, I wouldn't."

With that, Peridot placed her lips upon Lapis's, connecting them for the second time that night.
