16+ a touch spicy.

Declan and I have a complicated relationship. When he and his sister came to Degrassi I loathed him. He always was five steps ahead of me and just mischievous enough that no one called him on it. Slowly I realized that this loathing was becoming quite the opposite. Everything the man did was intoxicating.

The bat of an eyelash or the flick of a wrist had me enveloped in his baby blues. And he was starting to notice his effect too. He could perfectly articulate a compliment so no one else would think anything of it except me and Declan, and usually the result for me was my brain going into overdrive.

"Passion can mean many different things to many different people."

Suddenly, I'm back in photography. Luckily the teacher raised her voice right when getting to the main part of the assignment.

"I want you all to find something that makes you passionate outside of photography. Maybe it's something career-based or particular interest. It can even be love, though please keep all photos PG-13."

The bell rang and I was slow to get out of my seat. I had to break myself out of this trance. I needed it to be real or dashed from my brain forever.

"Y/N/N? Everything good up there?" Holly J said, playfully knocking the side of my head.

I lightly swat her hand away, laughing along, and say "All good, not enough sleep last night. Mr. Simpson is gonna kill me with these piled-up assignments."

We begin walking out.

"So," Holly J prompts "What are you gonna show your passion about then?"

Just as she speaks, Declan and Fiona walk past us. Fiona is rambling on about some nasty guy I bet but his eyes land on me and we both visibly tune out to what the respective girls are saying. I wanna look away, getting caught would be a nightmare even though I know I've done nothing wrong.

I let my head turn just a bit before rushing out "No clue, I'll probably just think of something random."

I walk into Miss Kwans, the one class me and Declan share that doesn't include anyone we know.

He's already seated and it's almost like he can sense my arrival as he turns to look at me. He scans me like a damn printer and waits for me to sit before speaking.

"Oh, how lucky am I to be blessed with the presence of Miss Y/N L/N right in front of me" He quips, but that isn't enough to make me break my cool.

I joke back "I agree, I should get awards every time I step into class"

He chuckles and leans in close to my ear "I would kneel beneath you and pray every day at the promise of getting the chance to ravage you"

I feel my eyes widen as the bell rings and he leans back in his seat. My eyes had never been more focused on the board. He was being bold today, this wasn't Declan's normal teasing.

I decided what my photography project was.

I write down on a piece of paper:

I have a photography assignment and I've decided you're my muse. Perks of being VP include keys to the school for after-hour use. Are you in Coyne?

I quickly fold it up and pass it back discreetly to him. I hear him write something down but he waits a moment before passing it back.

It says:

For you? Always my darling ;)

I hate that something as simple as that can make my heart flutter. I turn back to look at him. I don't know why I just did. But I'm thankful I did because he winked at me right before Kwan said "L/N are we interrupting you and Mr. Coyne?"
