(A/N: Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley recommended!! This chapter is the reason why the ff got named after this song ;))

— I remember everyone in the gang now except Steve. Apparently my boyfriend. Later that night, I went to a party that dally invited me to. I walk into the bar named bucks bar. People were getting drunk and dancing.

I saw Steve looking at his drink. I head over, feeling bad I don't remember him. "Steve?" I say softly but loud enough to get over the music. He looks up at me.

"Are you okay?" He nods in reply to my question. "Just sad you don't remember me." He says. "Well the gang got me to remember them. Tell me about you." He was about to start talking but Can't Help but Falling in Love by Elvis Presley started playing. He drags me to the dance floor, causing me to yelp in surprise.

We started slow dancing, ignoring everyone calling us slurs.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

I let him lead me as we slow danced. It felt like it was just us. Like no one else was around.

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

We continue to slow dance as time seems to stop. Even though many people are giving us weird stares, others are throwing stares. Dally got sick of it and dragged Tim and started slow dancing with him. No matter how tough he looks. I know deep down he digs us.

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Something clicked. Then everything clicked. I remember Steve. I remember everything!! "Steve." I say. He looks into my eyes. I inch closer to him.

"I remember you."

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

He stood there dumbfounded. I kissed him and he kissed back. I saw more LGBTQ couples doing the same. Although there wasn't many, there was some. Homophobic people kept throwing slurs at everyone but no one cared.

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

All that mattered to me is Steve.

And that's all that matters to me.
