Clare's POV:

"Are you sure?" Eli asked me as we were kissing furiously on his couch downstairs. Since we hadn't slept together in a while it was honestly the only thing I needed to feel completely at peace with Eli.

I nodded as I tugged on his soft black locks and we continued to kiss, "Please Eli…I want you so badly."

Eli moaned into my mouth before ripping his lips from mine. He scooped me up bridal style and began carrying me to his bedroom.

When we got up there he kicked the door close before he dropped me on his bed. I giggled when the familiar black sheets curled around my body.

Eli's eyes were full of want and lust when he looked at me. He helped my off the bed before he kissed me. Eli's tongue gently passed over my lips as his hands squeezed my ass. I smiled in our kiss as I jumped up, wrapping my legs around Eli.

He stumbled back until my back met a wall. He held me against it and I took the liberty of allowing my hands to explore. I slipped my hands under his tee shirt and felt the soft muscles of his toned chest and stomach. Eli took the hint and gently set me down before stripping himself of his shirt.

I smiled, "You're so sexy."

Eli chuckled, "Let me see you." I lifted my arms up so Eli could see my chest, clad in my bra. He smiled wide before his lips began to work the top of my chest. Given the considerable high difference between us, I knew this would be easier for him to do on the bed, "Eli?" I stopped him.

He looked up at me nervously, "We can stop…"

I giggled, "No can we just get back on the bed?"

My head always got a little clouded when we did this and it was much easier when I could rely on the bed instead of standing.

He nodded and led me back. I lay back down and looked at him expectantly. He smirked, "You little devil." Before he was straddling me.

His lips sucked quite a few small hickeys onto my chest. As good as it felt, I missed his lips so I pulled him back. Eli kissed me with so much passion it was a little overwhelming, but in a good way.

His hands slipped up my back and he fumbled with the clasp of my bright blue bra.

"Damn it," He muttered, "What is this?"

I knew the clasp was a little difficult, I wasn't so sure if it was worth it when I bought it, but it was a little sexier then what a normally wear so I wanted it.

"I thought you'd like the bra, I just can't ever get the clasp." I commented.

Eli raised an eyebrow and pulled back to get a good look at the bra, "Lace Miss Edwards? So scandalous."

I rolled my eyes and sat up to help him. With a little difficulty we finally got it. Eli grabbed it from me, "I believe I will have to confiscate this one."

"Oh well if you must." I smirked back at him as I saw him toss the bra into his dresser, probably as a souvenir. Perv.

He kissed my chest gently with care. I moaned as his lips attacked my right breast. He needed the neglected breasts as I moaned, "O-oh Eli…."

He chuckled and switched breasts, flicking his tongue over my nipple. I tugged on his hair, "E-Eli please…"

He pulled his mouth off, "Sorry….your boobs are just so…."

I blushed, "So?"

He looked slightly embarrassed, "Big…."

"Eli!" I smacked his arm and he chuckled, "Hey! I can't even compliment my girlfriend on her breasts?"

I rolled my eyes, "Don't ruin the moment."

"I love you Clare." Eli shook his head before he kissed my lips slowly. My hands wondered to his belt buckled and I undid it quickly. We continued to kiss as I pulled out his belt.

He growled when I grabbed his errection through his jeans. "Clare…"

I blushed, "Oops…"

He sat up and let me undo his jeans. He got up for a moment to step out of the pants before kissing my stomach. "Oh" I moaned weakly as he sucked right about the snap on my jeans.

Eli undid my jeans and tugged them off. He pulled my underwear down with them, "So beautiful…"

I blushed a bright red. Eli sat up on his knees and I followed. As we sat up he kissed me and I could feel his errection. I snaked a hand of mine into his boxers and gave him a squeeze. When I looked to see if it was okay he nodded at me.

I began to move my hand over him and he got harder as I did. I loved knowing the affect I had on him. Knowing we haven't slept together in a while Eli stopped me.

"Wait, I want to last with you." He pulled my hand out. I nodded and he quickly discarded his boxers.

I smiled, "Come here."

Eli leaned me on my back. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He leaned over to grab a condom, but I stopped him, "No I don't want condoms."

"Clare I love you, but I can't get you pregnant." Eli frowned.

I shook my head, "No I'm on birth control."

Eli smiled, "It's not always affective…?"

"I'm willing to risk it, please Eli?" I begged him, giving him puppy dog eyes.

Eli nodded, "Alright, but if you do get pregnant you better have a girl."

I rolled my eyes as Eli gave me one last kiss, "You sure?"

"Eli please just-"

He cut me off when he pushed into me. It felt amazing to have him in me without any barriers.

"Wow…" Eli let out, "This feels"

"Amazing?" I offered.

Eli nodded as he began to move his hips. I slipped my hands into his hair, "Oh Eli…"

He kissed my neck as he thrusted in me at a good pace. I could feel the pool of excitement in my stomach. I wrapped my legs around him so he could get in deeper, "E-Eli…OH!"

I cried out as he hit a special spot inside me. Eli's hand reached down to rub my clit, "That's it baby girl." He encouraged me as I reached closer to my peek.

My face contorted in pleasure and I wanted this to be as good for him as it was for me so I leaned up and began to suck on his chest. Eli groaned and he leaned down to nip at my neck, "You know it drives me wild when you do that."

I blushed and nodded. I knew I was close and I told Eli, "Eli I'm so close…"

Eli picked up the pace and I hit my peak, "ELI!"

"Oh Clare…" He finished after me.

We both panted for a minute or two, trying to catch our breath. Eli kissed my cheek and he tried to kiss my lips, but he missed, I could tell he was tired.

I smiled, "That was amazing Eli."

He smiled wide, "Why thank you."

"Do you want me to pull out now?" Eli asked me nervously.

I nodded, "Yes please, I want to cuddle."

Eli pulled out of me and opened his arms so I could wrap myself around him. Cuddling was almost my favorite part about being intiment with Eli. It makes me feel so much closer to him when we just lay here, naked, hugging each other tightly.

I let my head rest on his chest as he rubbed my back gently, "How do you feel?" He asked.

I smiled and kissed his bare chest, "Good. Really good. A little tired though. What about you?"

"Same, but really tired." Eli kissed my hair, "But it was worth it, I love making love to you."

I smiled and kissed his cheek, "Sleep Eli. You were amazing, you deserve it."

Eli nodded sleepily and I heard him snore lightly. I kissed his toned chest before whispering, "Goodnight Eli, I love you."

"I wove you too…" He snored.

Eli's POV:

When I woke up I was completely alone. Last time I checked I had fallen asleep with a beautiful and very naked Clare. Hmm.

I got up and slipped on a pair of new boxers. Clare's clothes were still there so I knew she hadn't left. But my dresser drawer was open and I could see someone had been rummaging through my drawers.

I put on an old band tee and a pair of black sweats. When I got down the steps I saw Clare and CeCe sitting on the couch with mugs of what I assume are CeCe's famous hot coco.

Clare was dressed in a grey Green Day tee shirt I bought when Clare had convinced me how much she would love stealing it from me. She was also wearing a pair of my sweats.

"Eli?" CeCe noticed me before Clare turned around.

Clare smiled and patted the couch, "Come here."

I made my way to Clare, scooping her off the couch, sitting down, then putting her in my lap, "You left me up there."

Clare rolled her eyes, "You looked tired and I could smell CeCe's hot coco, it's like cat nip for me, you know this."

I rolled my eyes. CeCe smiled at us, "I always hoped you two would get together."

I looked at my beautiful Clare dressed in my clothes and nodded, "She's perfect isn't she?"

CeCe smiled and nodded, "Just try to hang onto her this time."

"It's graduation day!" Clare yelled excitingly in my face as we were getting ready at my house. We actually managed to make it through senior year, together, alive.

She had decided the best way to remember high school before we shipped off to UCLA tomorrow was to make love in my "childhood" bed all night long.

I groaned, "Clare I love you, but please, please stop and let me sleep!"

She giggled and got back in bed with me, "Come on please? It our graduation day and my mom isn't even in town. I want to at least spend it with my boyfriend and his family."

I knew Clare was hurt when her mom told her she had a business trip and she would miss graduation. If Clare wanted today to be special, it would be, for her.

I nodded and kissed her, "Happy graduation day."

Clare smiled, "Thank you."

"My babies are graduating!" CeCe came into my room without a knock.

Clare giggled and pulled the covers up a little bit so CeCe wouldn't see the bra she was wearing. CeCe did not care. No boundaries with her.

She came over and gave us both a kiss on the cheek, "I can't believe you two are graduating, smile!" She took a photo of us and smiled wide.

"What are you two doing just sitting here? Get up! It's graduation day!"

CeCe left the room before Clare looked back over at me, "Happy graudation day."

"And as we go forth tomorrow I can only hope that in this vast universe our time at Degrassi will always hold a place in your heart. Thank you." Clare gave one last smile before stepping down from the podium. Yes, Clare was the valedictorian.

The ceremony didn't take long and once it ended Clare wrapped her arms around me, "Are you scarred?"

I shook my head, "No, excited, four more years of us in Los Angeles, I couldn't be happier."

Clare smiled, "Me too."

I opened my mouth to say something, but I saw Julie come over to us, dressed in her uniform. I hadn't spoken to her since the pregnancy debacle.

"Hey…" She whispered.

I raised an eyebrow, "Hey?"

Clare gave me a look, "I'll let you two talk. It was good to see you Julie."

Clare, always the classy one. As she walked away Julie gave me an awkward glance, "I wanted to apologize. I know I already did, but we were together for a long time and I just want you to know that it meant a lot to me okay? I'm sorry I hurt you."

I nodded. We were together for a long time and I wanted closure with her, "I accept. I'm sorry that we couldn't make us work, and I do mean that Jules. I'm sorry we didn't work out, and if I hurt you."

She smiled, "Thanks Eli."

"So good luck? Have a good life any everything?" I asked.

She nodded, "Good luck Eli." And she was gone.

"I'll miss you both so much! Call me every day and if you ever miss me the door is always open" CeCe smiled as she hugged Clare and I goodbye. Morty was loaded up and we were driving to UCLA.

Bullfrog gave us each a hug, "Be safe, and always use protection okay?"

I chuckled, "Thanks dad."

"Well, shall we?" I asked Clare.

Clare nodded and she settled into the front seat of my hearse. I helped her wrap up in a blanket, "Comfy?"

She nodded, "Perfect."

I got into the driver's seat and shut the door, and put in my key.

"Well it's time Clare, are you ready?"

She nodded, "Finally, just a place for you and I."
