subtle eye contact which made her put her head down every time, and if the two were talking about something late at night she would feel his eyes watching her lips and that drove her mad, in a good way of course.

it was simply the small things that ran her over the edge and she enjoyed the internal flutters it gave her, yet the both of them ignored every single sign of attraction due to fear.

"it's probably my favorite ones i've written." elijah told her.

"why?" santana asked out of curiosity.

"it reminds me of why i started writin in the first place." he said and closed his books before sitting it on the coffee table.

"durin the time we spent in the house twenty four seven, i lost my childish innocence if that makes sense. i couldn't go outside ta meet new people or experience new things. i got tired of playing in my backyard and staring at the same four walls so i burried myself in a dark hole." elijah explained.

"just somethin i wanted because i grew used to it and it was really all i knew." he said.

"i never really thought about it that way, like how somebody could be alone but have a support system if you get where i'm goin. you a lucky one."

"so i've been told."

"watch it megamind." he said and flicked her forehead.

"i'm tired of ya'll comin for my forehead, like leave me alone it's gettin old." she grumbled and rolled her eyes.
