summary : in which you find yourself falling for the popular senior in your school because the drama teacher decides to cast the two of you as Romeo and Juliet.

Today was the day.

It was the opening night of your play and you couldn't have been any more nervous than you already were.

You and Grayson practiced the lines but it was quite awkward since he didn't stand up for you when you were publicly humiliated in front of the whole class.

Now you were sat in the dressing room getting ready and finishing your hair.

You shut your eyes and took a deep breath,
You're gonna be fine
You're gonna do great
You're gonna be just fine.

You peeled out from behind the curtains as they were about to start the play soon and saw it was a packed house.

You felt your hands get clammy and your body get shaky. This was a whole new experience for you and you not being the biggest social butterfly made it hard for you to speak out.

Grayson was stood on the other side of the stage watching you intensely. He could tell you were super nervous and all he wanted to do was walk over to you and hold you close.

He couldn't help but admit to himself, he had a big crush on you. These past few weeks made him realize how much he had fallen for the junior.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to the theatre and our opening night of Romeo and Juliet," you heard Mr. Moore's voice in front of the curtain.

This was your cues to go onstage and prepare.

Sampson and Gregory the two beginning characters took their place onstage preparing for the curtain to open.

They went on speaking their parts when it was finally Grayson's turn to go onstage.

"Good-morrow, cousin," the character of Benvolio greeted Grayson.

He looked at you with fear in his eyes.

You motioned for him to breath and to go on speaking his part.

He took a deep breath and started, "Is the day so young?" He spoke confidently and loudly.

The act went on and Grayson got more and more comfortable as well as into character. Act three was soon approaching which meant you had to go on soon.

Lady Capulet and the Nurse walked on and started their dialogue.

"God forbid! Where's this girl? What, Juliet!"
The nurse shouted which was your cue to go onstage.

Grayson locked eyes with you from across giving you a thumbs up and mouthing, "you can do this."

You took a deep breath and walked onstage, "How now! Who calls?"

The play went on and on as you slowly got more comfortable and more confident being onstage.

But the time had arrived for Act 5, which contained the kissing scene.

"If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss," Grayson kept his eyes locked on you as he held your hand.

You swallowed the lump and continued on with your lines,
"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss."

You both continued on until the part had arrived.

"Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take," Grayson spoke softly pulling you closer.

"Can I kiss you?" His voice was barely above a whisper only loud enough for your ears to hear.

You had been practicing for months, everything but this one action and as terrified as you were you didn't want to ruin the play because you'd never kissed someone.

You gave him a tiny nod as you took a deep breath.

His eyes were full of concern as he pulled you in closer. You nodded for him to go on and it happened.

Suddenly his soft lips were on yours.

Your eyes were wide open but slowly they closed as you melted into the kiss.

His hand held you softly by the waist as his lips molded perfectly with yours.

It was as if fireworks were being shot off. After a few seconds he pulled away just as shocked as you.

He gave you a small smile and held your cheek as he continued his lines.

The play went on and it finally reached curtain call. Your knees were still wobbly from that kiss and now you couldn't look Grayson in the eyes.

The play reached its end and the whole crew was backstage.

You were sat by yourself trying to calm yourself down.

"That was pathetic," you heard a voice from behind you. That voice belonged to none other but Talia.

"It looked like Grayson couldn't wait to get that kiss over with, I feel so bad for him," she smirked.

What she didn't realize was Grayson was right around the corner.

"Actually," he made his presence known. "I couldn't wait to get that kiss started, it was the best kiss I've ever had," he locked eyes with Talia, "by far."

She pouted and hmpfed away.

You chuckled lightly getting shy. He just did that to be sweet.

"Hey (Y/N)," he sat down besides you.

You looked up with your brows raised, ushering him to continue.

"You did a really good job tonight, and I um, I hope you didn't mind me kissing you," he spoke awkwardly scratching his neck.

"No no I didn't mind at all actually I was glad! Um I mean I oh my god," you face palmed yourself.

Grayson laughed at your flustered state.

It soon got silent again and Grayson spoke up, "I just wanted to apologize," he said catching your attention.

"For all the times, I said rude and mean things and for all the times I didn't stop those who were saying that to you, I wish I could take it all back, it would make me confessing my crush on you much easier," he spoke easily.

You gasped softly. He liked you?

"You like me?"

"I do yes, I hope you feel the same," he looked up at you questioningly. "Because I'd love to take you out on a date."

You paused for a bit letting him suffer in the silence before you replied, "luckily for you, I find you quite charming and attractive and I'd love to go on a date with you."

He smiled widely before taking your hand.

"If you don't mind, if like to practice that kissing scene once more."

"I don't mind at all."
