an// YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS BUT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS FOR ONCE, IT'S JUST FLUFF, thank you.

*9:56, Dance*

                                                                  ~John's POV~

A slow song that I recognized started to play. 

*Song, Only Us - Dear Evan Hansen Cast Recording*

I smile as Alex takes my hand.

"Stop being so perfect."

"I'm not perfect, you are."

I blush slightly.

"John, there is no way I could ever describe how compassionate I am for you. There are not words on how to even tell you how much I love you."

an// listen to this for this chapter, it won't make as much sense if you don't

My cheeks fluster red.

Lyrics begin as we start dancing. I smile for every single moment.

"Hey, do you know the name of this song?"

"Pfft, know the name? I know most of this song. It's named Only Us from the Dear Evan Hansen Cast Recording."

"Okay, I didn't know you knew that much about it."

Alex giggled a bit."

"I know the lyrics too."

"Okay, I challenge you to lip sync the second verse."

"Easy. I'll just start now."

I start lip syncing.

"And the rest of the world falls away.. What do you say?

I never thought it'd be someone like you who would want me.

So I give you 10,000 reasons to not let me go..

But if you really see me

If you like me for me and nothing else

That's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know.

So it can be us, it can be us and only us.

And what came before won't count anymore or matter, we can try that."

"That good?"

"Okay, I'm impressed."

"Don't be."

"I am."

"Well, all I'm learning from this is it's hard dancing with a slang holding up a broken arm."

"I would rather be in your position with the broken arm and concussion. I hate seeing you like that."

"Well, get used to it. I'm gonna be like this for a little less than a month."

"I know, but I'm gonna have a hard time getting used to it."

I hear the song coming to an end.

I take his hand as Alex takes his other hand and pulls my face towards his, and we kiss until the final note has finally faded away.

He wrapped his arm around me.

"You've made this night perfect, Alex."
