Author's Note: Hey everyone! So I've had some people requesting a first kiss one-shot, and I've been telling said people to be patient, and guess what? Your patience has paid off because here is my first EVER Lucaya kiss :) I decided to make everyone around 14/15 so I hope you guys like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Girl Meets World, but if I did it'd be 30 minutes of Lucas and Maya banter so...yeah
"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far"

In the end, it's Lucas who makes the first move and asks Maya to the homecoming dance.
He's watching her jump and sway to the beat of some Ariana Grande song she swears she hates, eyes bright, blonde hair flying everywhere, when he's suddenly struck with the feeling of feeling something.
He's not quite sure what it is (adoration? contentment? love?), but all he knows for sure is that for the first time in two years, he finally feels like he belongs here, in New York, with the blonde girl who can throw him off center with a single "huhhuhhhhhr."
"Are you planning on dancing?" she asks him, eyes teasing with amusement. "Or are you just going to stand there and stare at me like a creepy cowboy?"
"Creepy cowboy, huh?" Lucas smirks, placing his hands loosely on her hips. "I'll have you know, my date happens to love cowboys."
She hooks her arms around his neck automatically, and he's once again struck with how right it feels. With Riley, it was all hesitant, uncertain and shy. But with Maya, it's like he's never been surer of anything in his entire life as he pulls her closer and they sway to the music together.
"Maybe she just makes an exception for you," Maya replies, that teasing smirk he loves so much on full display.
"Well, I certainly hope so," he drawls, overdoing his Texan accent in that way he knows both annoys and secretly thrills her. "I wouldn't want her hanging out with any other cowboys but me."
He's delighted to see Maya throw her head back and laugh, happy he's one of the few people who can constantly amuse her.
"You've got nothing to worry about," she promises.
Lucas feels his heart lift as they fall into a comfortable silence. Maya closes her eyes as they continue to move to the music, and he knows other people probably assume it means she's pulling away, but he knows her, and he knows it really means she's imprinting this moment in her mind, fully at ease in his arms.
He's watching her dance again, grinning stupidly to himself, when suddenly, her eyes open and find his.
They're close enough that he can see her freckles, like stars on a dark Texas night, and just like that, he knows, he knows, that this is his moment.
He spots Riley and Farkle teasing each other by the punch bowl, and Mr. Matthews alternating his glare between Lucas and Farkle, watching every move they make on his two "daughters" like a hawk stalking his prey, but it all fades away as his lips meet Maya's.
And when she kisses him back and runs her hands through his hair, he realizes he was wrong before. His home isn't in New York or Texas, but with this wild, unpredictable girl. For him, home is where the Hart is.
"FRIAR!" Mr. Matthews' voice cuts straight to him. "Lips where I can see them!"
Lucas laughs and he can feel Maya smiling against his lips as they separate, turning to face Mr. Matthews' wrath.
"Why can't you just move back to Texas?!" Mr. Matthews asks Lucas pleadingly.
Lucas grins and squeezes Maya's hand in his own. "I like New York, sir."
Mr. Matthews eyes him suspiciously. "Yeah, that's what you like. You know, I was a teenage boy once too, and I know–"
"Mr. Matthews," Maya interrupts suddenly, an innocent look on her face. "I don't want to alarm you, but I think Riley and Farkle are holding hands."
"What? Where?!" Mr. Matthews stalks off determinedly towards the couple, and Maya laughs against Lucas's chest.
Lucas pulls her closer and as they stand there, wrapped in each other's arms, he knows this isn't just a first date or first kiss.
It's so much more.
A/N: Let me know what you think :) Also, I have a ton of good song suggestions (thanks everyone!), but I could really use some prompts to fit the songs to. So please leave any and all suggestions for me. Thanks!
