Listen to "Wait" by M83 while you read this, you'll see why

***********************************************************************

              *Will*

I've been stuck in bed for three days straight, and needless to say, I'm bored.  Tessa comes in, she smiles at me and I smile back.

"What? why are you looking at me like that?"

"Tessa Gray, Will you please have the honor of being my dance partner?"

"There's no music."

"Oh baby, I don't need music to dance with you, you're a whole new kind of music." I get up and take her hand, I raise it to my shoulder. Her other hand follows.  I put my hands around her waist. As we're dancing, she lays her head on my shoulder. I pull her closer and kiss her. She looks up at me, her grey eyes melting into mine, her smile is so warm that I forget for a moment just where I'm standing. I pick her up and spin her. She laughs and clutches to me. I know that I should feel weak, or sick, or dizzy, or even tired, but here's the thing, I don't. Tessa has the ability to take away all of those unpleasant feelings. She has the ability to do a lot of things to me, and that is both terrifying and wonderful all at once. And when I say that I've never felt the way I do when I'm with Tessa, that is not insanity speaking,  no, it's this funny little thing called the truth.

"Will?"

"Yes?" It wasn't until right now that I realized we had not spoken a single word to each other since we had started dancing, but that's OK. This is the best kind of silence.

"I am in love with you." I smile and put her about arms length from me. Then, I pull her against me and kiss her, like I've never kissed her before. She wraps her arms around my neck. We pull apart and I look her in the eye.

"I think it's pretty obvious that I'm also in love with you."

Okay, so this idea just randomly came to me while I was listening to the song "Wait" by M83. Oh, I strongly suggest that you do listen to this song while reading this, because that is what I listened to while writing this whole thing.
