i like you

maya and lucas had been laying on lucas's bed watching the newest action movie that had just came out on dvd. maya and lucas were the only ones in the clique six that liked to watch action movies. riley always got anxious, farkle and smackle made sure to correct every unrealistic thing that happened, and zay was always bored. maya was confused as to how zay could get bored watching movies with so much happening. since no one else in the group liked them, lucas and maya always watched them together once they came out. lucas would rent the movie and get a bunch of maya's favorite snack. all maya had to do was show up. she would show up with a smile on her face and say "hey huckleberry!" in the cute way that she did. they would move to his room and he would hand her his sweatshirt that she loved to wear. it was their own little special tradition and both of them couldn't imagine their lives without it.

tonight seemed different though. lucas noticed that maya was a little bit more touchy and cuddly but he didn't mind. when lucas took his arm away from maya to get a sip of soda, she groaned loudly.

"huckleberry!" she whined.

"what pancakes?" he asked with a chuckle.

"i want your arm back. i need cuddles." she pouted.

"i was just getting a drink. calm down." he smiled. he opened his arms again and maya made her way into them, laying her head down on his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist.

"ahh! much better." she sighed happily listening to his heartbeat.

"you're cute penelope." lucas said playing with maya's hair.

"i know. i'm adorable." she giggled. after that, they continued to watch the movie and once it was over, maya sat up and stretched her arms with a yawn.

"guess it's time for me to go." she said. she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. she loved spending time here with lucas and she hated when it had to come to an end.

"maya, can i tell you something before you go?" lucas asked grabbing maya's hand and pulling her back down on the bed.

"sure lucas. you can tell me anything." she said with a small smile. he licked his lips and swallowed a lump as he looked up at her. "cowboy, you're scaring me. what's going on?"

"i like you. maya, i really like you." lucas said looking at her and holding her small, dainty hands in his much bigger ones.

"you w-what?" maya asked in shock.

"i like you so much. i like how we fall asleep on the couch when we're at riley's house, i like how you sit on my lap sometimes at topanga's even when there's enough seats for everyone. i like how you're long blonde hair flows down your back and how you always run your hand through it when you get frustrated. i like how you know how to calm me down and that you accept me for me. there's so many things i could name about you and your personality that i like but we would be here all day. so i just want you to know, i like you." he said with a smile on his face. maya's stomach was full of butterflies and she couldn't stop smiling.

"i like you too ranger rick. i really really like you too." she smiles before wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him. he laid down on the bed and pulled her on top of him. his arms wrapped around her small waist and he couldn't wipe the smile off of his face.

"oh thank god!" he said with a sigh of relief.

"you really had a doubt that i wouldn't say that i like you back? i don't just come over here for the action movies sundance." she said with a smile on her face. she leaned down and kissed his lips softly. lucas kissed her back until he couldn't kiss her anymore.
