Transparent Things- The one

Scott finds out by accident. He's in her room (with the door wide open), one day during senior year and he's sifting through her stuff. She doesn't mind, not really, she doesn't have anything to hide from him.

"Mo?" Scott calls out, his voice is laced with confusion. "What are these?"

She glances over and sees that he has a stack of photographs in his hands. Oh, those. "They're pictures, Scott. I thought you of all people would know that." She teases.

"You're funny." He sits on her bed, the pictures still in his hand and he spreads them across her bedsheet. "These are really good."

"You think?"

Scott nods. "You ever think of going into photography?"

Has she? Yes. She's humored that option for some time and all the time she goes back to what her parents would say. So, she shelves her camera and her dreams and settles for something (anything) in medicine. "Sometimes." She tells him truthfully, because Mo doesn't lie to Scott. At least not anymore.

He doesn't say anymore, because he understands why she never thinks about it too often. They do this a lot, the two of them. They don't have to say much, they just know. Mo thinks that this is what love is really about. It's about saying so much without saying anything at all.

So, it goes like this; Wen and Olivia go to California, Stella goes to Rhode Island, Charlie joins his brother at Stanford and Mo and Scott venture to New York. They're sort of scattered all over the country and it hurts when Mo wants to talk to them but can't. Because there's time difference, then they sometimes don't answer, so most of the time, they leave it up to Skype and their BBM group (seriously, thank God for technology) to have their conversations.

She calls her parents everyday (her Baba's rule, because he nearly had a fit when she told him about New York…and with Scott? Forget about it, she was grounded for a week). She likes to think that her parents warmed up to the idea of her in New York and she likes to think that they're okay with her living with Scott.

(She'll never forget the conversation her Baba had with Scott about how if anything happened to his little girl, they would never find him, ever).

"Mo?"

"Coming!"

She walks out of the backroom and smiles when she sees Scott sitting on their couch, in his soccer gear and exhausted. "Rough day?" She asks him.

"I'm in so much pain. Not to mention my marketing homework isn't going to do itself. I'm just…exhausted." He bemoans. "How was yours?"

She shakes her head, leaning against the wall and chuckles. "Good. I'm just developing my latest project."

Right. So, it went like this. She had every intention of doing something (anything) in medicine. She really did. Except, she didn't. Instead, she applied for Photography, because it makes her happy. And when she got in? She was ecstatic. Her Baba? Not so much. But he warmed up to it because it makes her happy and that's all he wants for her, is happiness. Which is why, Mo thinks he accepts Scott, because he makes her happy.

Scott nods, smiles tiredly at her and tilts his head back, closing his eyes.

She does this sometimes. She stands off to the side and watches as her boyfriend succumbs to sleep. He looks peaceful and happy when he's sleeping. It's not that he isn't happy when he's awake, he is, but there's something so heartwarming about watching him sleep on their couch, in their living room, in their apartment. She leaves her spot (as she always does) and snuggles into his side. She doesn't care that he smells like grass and sweat.

He shifts and drops his arm around her shoulders and pulls her closer (as he always does). "I love you." He whispers quietly, kissing the top of her head.

And Mo smiles, "I love you too." She kisses his cheek as they both drift off to sleep on their couch, in their living room, in their apartment.

AN: So it's short, I know but it's kind of sweet and I really wanted to explore the quiet, softer more romantic side to Scott and Mo, because they're grown up and they love each other. I've tried adding other things but because they already have so much background, I just figured I'd do a little snippet. Let me know what you all think! Reviews are greatly appreciated!
