A/N: here it is! The much-anticipated (yeah right!) last chapter of my fabulous (again, yeah right) love story featuring the Hottest. Couple. Ever. (at least I think so!)

"Serena," he sighs. "I know you don't want to hear this, and I'm sure you'll be disappointed, but..."
"Spit it out, Humphrey," I grin, leaning down and kissing his nose.
He chuckles and draws me into a hug, stroking my back, but staying away from my bra strap, much to my disappointment.
"It just doesn't feel...right. Doing this, right here, I mean, Jenny and Dad are here and he's sure to check up on us, and I'd rather he didn't...erm...catch us."
I sigh and snuggle into his chest.
"I'm sorry," he murmurs into my hair.
I push myself up, so I'm staring him straight in the eye, a battle between Brown and Blue.
"Don't be sorry. A while ago you said that when you look at me you don't see just sex, and when I look at you, I see the same."
At this he looks a little confused.
"Look," I sigh. "Every other 'Relationship' I've ever had has just been about the...physical side of things. But with you, it's different. I feel just as happy just being with you as I do when we actually...do it."
He pulls me closer towards him and wraps his arms around me, our limbs entwined underneath his football sheets.
We lie there, just like that, holding each other tightly, stroking and murmuring until Dan falls asleep in my arms.
I lie there on top of him, just watching him sleep, wondering what he's dreaming about.
Just as I'm drifting off to sleep, I find those words that I was so scared to say before.
"I love you," I whisper into Dan's ear, before wrapping my arms around his neck and settling into sleep.
