Anon request: Clique six are all at Topangas. Riley/Lucas are flirting and it Leads to Farkle/Riley first kiss.
(I had fun with this I hope you like it. Its my first Riarkle story.)
The click six had remained friends through all the ups and downs of high school and relationships. They weren't all in the same classes anymore, but this year Cory was teaching AP Woman's Studies. The click six had taken it together. Maya tried to get out of it, but Riley wouldn't hear of it. "Maya we have to know how far we've come; so, we can know haw far to go." Maya had eventually caved, knowing Riley would not give up when she was this ardent about something.
Mr. Mathews assigned them to pick an influential woman in history and explain how her influence or impact could still be felt today. Zay and Izzy were doing Harriet Tubman. Zay wanted to use it as a way to learn more about slavery and abolition too. He wanted to learn more about his story. Izzy agreed. Lucas and Maya were having a heated debate about who to chose. Everyone new Maya would eventually win.
Farkle knew Riley would be...passionate...about this project but he couldn't teasing her just a little. He plopped next to her on the sofa. "Mamacita, who should we spotlight for our project." Riley glared instantly at Farkle. She popped up on her knees and leaned in to him, "You are such a SEXIST PIG. This project is so important to educate today's youth about the significant roll woman have played in history." Farkle chuckled nervously. He loves the way Riley eyes light up when she fights for a cause she believes in. "I know Riles. Who do YOU want to focus on?"
Riley smiled instantly. "Susan B. Anthony. The most recent presidential election was one of the most divisive elections in our countries history. We had a chance to elect the first woman president, and only half of the registered voters showed up to vote. Our class will be eligible to vote in the next presidential election. I want the girls to know that we haven't always had the right to vote. We shouldn't take it for granted."
Riley and Farkle had been slowly leaning into each other during their discussion. Forgetting for the moment they weren't the only two in the room. The remaining click six silently watched. Farkle beamed at Riley. "That's perfect Riley, and you have already figured out the significance to our current events. We've got this, partner." As he finished he raised his hand to high five Riley. "Partner."
The instant that here hands touched Riley felt butterflies she had never felt before. She instantly giggled. As did Farkle. They dropped hands so quickly it was like they had both been struck by lightening. Farkle nervously ran his hands through is hair and coughed. Riley just tilted her head and gazed at Farkle, as Topanga was dropping off Rileys hot cocoa and Farkles chai tea. She looked back and forth between the two pensively, "Huh."
She redirected her gaze to Maya. "You got this?" Maya had been silently watching. She nodded. "Yeah." As Topanga wandered back to the counter to help Katy Zay proclaimed, "Oh, there just staring at each other all goofy, I think they.." Zay was interrupted by Maya wrapping her hand abruptly around his mouth. "Hey, Twinkle Toes, if you value your ballet career. I would keep that thought to yourself." Zays eyes got big and he nodded nervously. Maya let him go.
Smackle was examining Riley. "You could be getting sick. Your pale and clammy and you pulse rate is up." Riley looks pleadingly at Maya. Maya exclaims, "I think its her blood sugar. Farkle go get her a pastry." Farkle remains sitting next to Riley, reluctant to leave her side.
All of the sudden Smackle murmers thoughtfully, "If your not sick, it could be you have a cr..." Lucas cottoning onto the situation grabbed Isadora's hand knowing it would distract her from her train of thought. "Izzy come sit by me." Smackle giggles flirtatiously. "Lucas you have to control yourself, my future lovesis, Zay is right there." Lucas shakes his head and completely deadpanned, "Sorry, I just can't help myself." Smackle pats him awkwardly on the shoulder and forgets all about Riley and Farkle.
Farkle's voice rings out of the silence, "Riley are you, Ok?" Riley tilts her head as she continues to ogle Farkle. He has grown up into quite the handsome young man. Somehow she feels like this is the first time she is fully aware of him. How has she not seen him? He has ALWAYS been there, and yet somehow light years away. At the thought, her eyes widen. She likes Farkle? Suddenly she remembers Farkle had asked her something.. She quickly gulps some of her hot cocoa to stall forgetting how hot it would be. "Ouch." Farkle narrows his eyes, and then he jumps up. "I'll get you an extra thick smoothie. The ice will help." Katy nods. "Coming right up."
Riley looks to Maya, "What am I going to do? I can't like Farkle. What if he doesn't like me back? What if we date and break up, and it ruins our friendship? Peaches, I'm scared help." Maya scoots over to Riley.
"It's Farkle, there is nothing but the to be afraid of. He's been in love with you since the first grade." Riley is mildly hyperventilating now so Maya puts her arm around her. "He loves us equally but not the same, Riley. You have always been his sun. The center of his universe. Everything revolves around you for Farkle. You should tell him how you feel."
Riley sighs, "I can't. I think I just need sometime to figure out what this is." Lucas sits on the other side of Riley. "Ok, take sometime, but know honesty is always the best policy. Farkle wouldn't want you to lie about how your feeling. Riley looks into Lucas' eyes and whispers, "Help me, Lucas, I can't tell him. Not yet." Lucas could never resist protecting Riley. He had grown to feel almost like a big brother toward her. "Ok, just follow my lead."
Lucas starts doing his infamous Martimore impression knowing it always makes Riley laugh just as Farkle returns with Riley's smoothie. "Strawberry smoothie extra thick with extra whip cream." Riley takes it and savors the taste of the whip cream with her first bite, and quickly goes back to giggling at Lucas.
Farkle sits where Maya had been trying to understand what was happening. Riley's emotions seem to be all over the place today. He loves that Riley is laughing again, but the fact that it is Lucas making her laugh is irking him in a way he doesn't understand. Lucas goes to playfully kiss Riley's hand, and suddenly Farkle sees red.
Almost without being aware of his actions, Farkle jumps out of his seat and grabs Riley's hand out of Lucas' and leads her out of Topanga's. "We need to talk." He drops her hand as soon as they were outside agitadedly running his hands through his hair. He's pacing back and forth as Riley watches him silently. Slowly it dawns on her Farkle's jealous, She whispers barely a breath, "Farkle?"
That's when he explodes like mount farkleuvious. Years of pent up feelings come bubbling to the surface seemingly beyond his control. "I cant believe you like him AGAIN. Riley you have tried this twice before and it didn't work. I know you think you have to be your parents and marry your first love, but that might not be your story. Just because he was your first kiss, first date, first boyfriend doesn't mean he is who you should....Maybe there is someone out there that loves every little piece of you and always has..oh just forget it. I'll see you tomorrow. We can work on the project then."
As Farkle turns to leave, Riley finally finds her voice. She grabs his arm. Ignoring the electricity she feels at the slightest touch from Farkle now. "We don't leave, Farkle. And your wrong." Farkle spins back toward Riley hastily in his anger. "I am a genius, sunshine. I am NEVER wrong."
Riley steps closer to Farkle. Never looking away from his eyes. She smiles. She never feels the need to run from Farkle. Even when they fight she always feels likes the is running toward him. "Lucas was not my first kiss. My best friend stole that honor in 7th grade. He missed, but even Maya said it counts." Farkle opens his mouth to talk, but Riley steps even closer, puts her hand on his right cheek and continues. "He was my first boyfriend, but he wasn't my first date. My same best friend took me on my first date. He bought my favorite smoothie, and we had a wonderful conversation. In fact he saved me from two bullies that night, it was the third time he saved my life. I've spent my whole life searching for a hero who would treat me like a princess, and it's always been you Farkley. I am sorry it took me so long to see it. You are right about one thing. I don't have to live my parents story, but you don't have to live yours either. Now I'm going to kiss you, Farkle, and I'm not going to miss."
As Riley said this her lips gently brushed Farkles. Farkle's body stiffened at first but he quickly relaxed into the kiss. His hands finding his way to her face, and tangling in her hair to deepen the kiss.
As they stop kissing, Riley looks dreamily at Farkle. "I think I just kissed Pluto." Farkle hugs her to him kissing her forehead. He never wants to let her go. "You, me, earth. Lets do this thing." Riley nods, "Always."
They glance to the window and see Maya, Zay, Izzy and Lucas smiling back at them. Zay shouting, "Its about time."
