The Reunion ~ A Herophine Fanfiction

Hero 14

Jo clears her throat before she starts. "You piece of shit"
I hear a few chuckles. You'd be surprised how much laughter people have in them. "Tessa wait. Hear me out"
"Hey hey"
"What the fuck? Oi! Fuck off! Tessa what the fuck? How could you do that?" I pause in the relevant spots. "Why do you care huh? You just kissed that girl"
"No no no you don't get to cry. You just fucking kissed a guy right in front of me"
"Yeah and what did you do huh?"
"Nothing! What the fuck is wrong with you?"
"She just said she doesn't kiss and tell, you fucking liar!" Jo pushed my arm a little for effect.
"Tessa it's a figure of speech. You should know, I would never fucking cheat on you" Honestly this sounds so much better, than shouting these lines at Jo in front of camera crew. "We're you with her tonight? Is she who you disappeared with the whole night?"
"Yes. I was trying to make her forgive me"
"For what?" Jo wiggles her eyebrows and tries to look serious but fails miserably.
"Because I'm trying to be a better person for you. It's all I fucking do! Tell me what else I can do to make you believe that I love you! Tell me! Your never gonna trust me?"
"Trust you! You think that I should trust you?"
"Yes"
"Where has that ever gotten me!" Jo smirks.
"Your never gonna forgive me are you? Your just gonna keep bringing it up every time"
"Because I don't trust you!"
"You act like your so fucking innocent. Like you're perfect!" I smirk in Jo's direction, thinking of earlier today. Yeah like Jo's innocent and all. "Fuck this! Fuck you!" I laugh.
"Fuck you too!"
"Now fuck off!"

Me and Jo go through lines of After 3&4, before finally sitting down and the evening resumes. The dance floor is being danced on, the bar is bring drank and we're just having a good time. I hear the tap of a microphone and part of me hopes we're not playing another game. As much as I enjoyed the last one and I sort of won. I don't wanna do that much talking again. "Hey guys" it's Pia. "So I have a special something for you. Swen approached me and asked if I would perform at tonight's party but of course not any old song. The song that debuted on the first movie 'Bitter Love" Pia is normally quite shy, so the fact that she's going to be singing for us is something else.
"I need somebody to pull me away from this bitter love"
Thus the performance starts.
"I wanna run, but baby I drag you up. Coz I need it, want it, can't get enough of this bitter love!"
The chorus begins and I see Jo out on the dance floor, living her best life. I'm not much of a dancer, so I'm just sitting here in my seat with the other guys. I'll just watch Jo. I like to watch.

Pia's performance was of course amazing and I'm so happy she has the courage to do it. More songs from the movies play like Beige, Complicated and Dynasty which I like to think is from a fan edit. (Yeah a Herophine, Hero and Jo edit with 2 million views)
I hear the beginnings of James Bay Us. "Grab your slow dance partners everyone!" Inanna speaks into the mic. A few people get up and start to slow dance. I know this song was put in when me and Jo were dancing together in the first movie. The part after Hardin tells Tessa about when his 'dad' was a drunk. If you know you know, about the whole dad saga.
I get up and walk to Jo who's sipping her wine, talking to Pia. I hold my hand out and offer Jo the dance. She sighs and smiles before taking my hand without saying anything. "Don't step on my toes" she warns and I chuckle as I lead her to the dance floor. "I won't, promise"
"Is there a secret, is there a code..." is the line that the song is on, when I place my hand on Jo's waist and bring my hand up to meet hers. There isn't anything that feels as good as this does as we dance. Jo's arms move around my neck and I go to rest my other hand on the other side of her waist. We sway to the music and can't help but smile at each other. On the third chorus, just as the beat changes and goes into 'so tell me how to be in this world, tell me how to breathe when I feel no hurt..." my instincts take over and I press my lips to Jo's. She's hesitant, but when I don't pull back and she relaxes into the kiss and kisses me back fearlessly.

We forget everything and everyone that is in the room around us. The fact that some people are probably taking pictures and a lot of people will be gawping and gasping in shock. I tighten my arms around Jo's waist and pull her closer. If we were going to come out together, there is no other way we'd be able to without doing it something like this. Surrounded by people and where everyone can see us. I'm beyond thankful that it's not a press event and hopefully no pictures will get released.
Me and Jo break apart, the song is still going. But we're now alone on the dance floor. I unwrap an arm from Jo and take her hand in my other and twirl her into a spin. We're both laughing and smiling, not caring and not seeing anything but each other. Jo comes back me and we go into a ballroom dance again and I occasionally break her into an elegant spin off. She's so flawless and beautiful is my Jo. As the song comes to an end, I rest my forehead against hers, closing my eyes and bringing us both back to the reality of our surroundings.

The room is eerily quiet and still, although the air feels thick. I'm unsure what's happened, but I catch Inanna and Anna together grinning. They knew, of course they did. I take Jo's hand in my own and look at her. She's blushing and is clearly embarrassed as we didn't think this through. What the fuck do we do now?
