Reyton Fanfic Oneshot Dos!
Season two had finally ended filming. It was a sad day for all, but for two, it was even worse. Rowan didn't know what to do with herself, as school was rolling around the corner, and she would have to go back to doing homework again. Despite Rowan's great work ethic, she didn't like using it for homework. She'd rather use it to memorize lines or find ways to tell her crush she likes him without saying it.
Peyton, was not just sad, he was terribly disappointed. He wouldn't be able to see his crush in person again for another... Eight months or so. Eight months or so?! This just made him feel even worse. Their lips meeting, their arms embracing, their hands holding, none if it. It would be unable to continue for eight months. What if he loses her? He's so busy with school that he can't talk to his dream girl who leaves him for some random guy in her history class in real life, instead of Mr. Matthews?
How would she feel if he left her? Rowan would be decimated. She'd feel she was crashing like the twin towers on nine eleven. How was Peyton supposed to know? He would just leave her hanging out to dry like the clothes on a summer day.
What were they supposed to do? They couldn't tell each other, no. Neither of them could risk that. One would have a broken heart, and the other would feel bad for breaking a heart. Rowan and Peyton seemed like they were perfect, but they both had their flaws. The biggest one was the one they faced right in front of them. Not being able to tell the other out of fear.
"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself," Cory had taught his class that day. The lesson seemed to be all too real for Rowan and Peyton. Peyton and Rowan? Ah who cares.
"Pey! You want to run the final scene over again?" Rowan asked Peyton.
"Which one?" Peyton responded.
"The one we just did," Rowan asked like he was crazy.
"Oh you mean the-" Peyton stopped in time. Frozen. Rowan shyly nodded. "Why?" Rowan laughed, differently than normal.
"Why?! What do you mean, why?! We are going to be together next season and we won't be able to practice during winter!" Rowan said while laughing sadly.
"I-I- I... Guess?" Peyton stuttered, normally jumping at the chance to be kissed by his crush. He just felt she was doing this to satisfy herself though. It wasn't Riley and Lucas. It was actual Rowan kissing actual Peyton. He seemed scared by it. Rowan seemed satisfied he even remotely agreed the request, and smashed her lips against his for just a quick second. By the time Peyton had registered the girls lips hitting his in his mind, they were already three steps behind him. "Woah," Peyton admitted, running towards Rowan.
"Row, uh... Can we... Like... You know... Uh... Um... Again? Longer?" Peyton stuttered.
"You didn't want one but you want a second? Maybe next year," Rowan said as she left. She was just going to go back home. Leaving him to his dreams of her for the next half a year. Not to feel her for the rest of 2015. Peyton elects to just break down. Little did he know, that's what happened to Rowan's transportation. It broke down. Just like Peyton did. He checked his phone after he heard it go off. He pushed ignore the first time, not wanting to talk to anyone, but decided to pick up the second call.
"Finally! You answered me!" Rowan cheered to herself. Peyton was shocked.
"Uh... Didn't you just leave, like... Ten minutes ago?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah. Why do you sound so upset!? Peyton!" Rowan asked him.
"I don't know... What do you want me to say? Why did you call?" He asked.
"What I want you to say is that you're glad I called so we could talk. Anyways, our car just broke down, and we need some help? Think you could be the hero? I'll give you a special prize!" Rowan responded bribing Peyton.
"What is this prize you speak of?" Peyton asked.
"Playfully hits your arm. It's from me, does it matter what it is?" Rowan said.
"Fine. I'll help fix your car," Peyton agreed, mostly so he could see Rowan one last time and make things right with her, but also because he was nice. He quickly arrived at their location, only to find Rowan laying on the ground.
"Row? Are you okay?" Peyton asked, getting no response from Rowan. "Rowan? Rowan Blanchard?" Still no reaction from Rowan. She was smiling, which as a relief. At least there was a happy memory in her mind. "Rowan... Meyer?" Rowan instantly awoke to her potential future name being called.
"You want me?" Rowan asked. Peyton looked scared out of his life. Rowan laughed. "You know we gotta be in a relationship and then you have to propose to me before I'm a Meyer, right? You can't just call me that while I get a tan," Rowan added. Peyton laughed.
"I was a little worried I missed a few years in between. Wait... Did you say you would be okay with us getting married in a few years?" Peyton tried to question his minds cluelessness, which got him nowhere.
"No... I just told you I want you to fix my car!" Rowan said embarrassed by him finally listening to everything. Peyton frowned realizing Rowan doesn't want to be his wife.
"Pey? What's wrong?" Rowan asked him.
"I guess I always just dreamt about you walking down the aisle in wedding attire and me being at the end of it waiting for you," Peyton explained. Rowan looked lovingly at Peyton who smiled his charming smile to Rowan. She then swoons.
"Maybe one day you'll ask to be my boyfriend, but until then those dreams are unreal wishes. One thing that's not, is the surprise I'll give you when you fix the car!" Rowan said smiling. Peyton just eye rolled at his failed efforts to try and get Rowan to notice him, so he decided to fix the car and see what that would do.
"Row, can you hold this here for just a second," Peyton asked.
"Fine..." Rowan said, trying to make him feel the same pain she felt when he wasn't thrilled about her kissing him. Of course, little did she know, he was just scared.
"Your hands are so soft..." Peyton said daydreaming.
"Peyton! Car!" Rowan whined. Peyton looked sad but continued fixing it with Rowan right next to him.
"Should be good," Peyton said.
"Thank you!" Rowan said sweetly. She kissed him again. Longer, just like he wanted, and she let him hold her hands, before telling him he was awesome.
"I couldn't have done it without you. Seriously. You stood by me and helped me. I appreciate it," Peyton said.
"What did I do?" Rowan asked.
"Stopped the car from exploding, thus keeping all of our lives safe," Peyton said. Rowan looked nervous and scared.
"You... You trusted me? To do that?" Rowan asked amazed.
"Why wouldn't I? I mean, you can do anything, especially hold something small like that. I had faith in you," Peyton responded.
"You... You do?" Rowan asked him. Peyton nodded shyly but firmly (?) as Rowan pecked his forehead. Peyton laughed childishly.
"Okay okay! I can't take it! I want you to be my girlfriend. I want to be your boyfriend. There's no way I can say goodbye and I don't want to miss my chance with you while I have it," Peyton blurted.
"I'm glad you finally asked," Rowan replied, giving him one more kiss, before she drove away, leaving Peyton satisfied with himself, while Rowan pleased she managed not to ruin it. She drove him crazy enough to the point where he didn't back out, but he couldn't take missing him. They both got what they wanted, because it was Rowan's world, and in Rowan's world, Rowan gets what she believes in, and she believes in Reyton.
