Magic between us || Fillie

Every Breath You Take

El is standing by the windows in her room, closing the curtains when she hears a knock on the door.

'Come in!' she yells out softly while turning to see who it is. 

Mike walks in with a tiny smile on his face and twinkling eyes reserved just for her. ' Hey, El.'

'Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to bed.' El asks quietly as if any loud noise would break the magic she suddenly feels in the air.

'I just came to kiss you goodnight', Mike replies shyly looking down, but spreading his arms wide waiting for her embrace. 

'Aw', coos El as she crosses over her bed, from one side to another, jumps into his arms and lifts her head up to reach his lips. Both of them simply melt into each other and kiss as much as their smiling lips allow them to.

'When will you stop growing?' El asks chuckling, hanging her head down a little bit as she massages her neck with one hand, the other one still around Mike's waist.

Mike laughs quietly and kisses her forehead while mumbling 'I am so sorry, but I don't think I'm stopping any time soon.'

She looks up at him again and puts her hand on his cheek, slowly pulling him down towards her 
'I guess I'm going to have to get used to it then', she says lowly, her lips already touching his.

They are standing there, in the middle of El's room, slowly swaying from side to side and kissing like the teenagers they are.

'Are we dancing?' El asks giggling after pulling away a little bit.

'Yep', Mike answers plainly, swaying dramatically to prove his point and starts to move around in circles, not once moving away from El and grinning like a love-struck idiot.

'But there's no music', El says silently laughing, still staring at her silly boyfriend, her eyes dancing from his own shiny ones to his lips every once in a while.

Mike just looks at her lovingly, leans his forehead on top of hers and starts to softly sing a song that played when they danced with each other for the first time at Snowball.

'Every breath you take and every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you. Every single day and every word you say, every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you.'

They are both smiling so hard by the end of Mike's rendition of the song, neither of them caring about how bad it really was. 

They are so immersed in each other that they don't even hear the doors open. 

'CUT!'

Finn's POV

We spring apart from each other the moment Shawn calls cut. Had I been an innocent bystander at this very moment, I would've definitely laughed at how comical our reactions were.

What the hell is wrong with us? We never used to be so awkward with each other after shooting romantic scenes together. So what's changed?

I sneak a peek at Millie only to find her trying very hard to look anywhere else but at me. Her eyes are focused so intently at Shawn who is telling us something about the scene we just shot and, even though we are both looking at him, I can say with a hundred percent certainty that neither of us are actually listening to him. 

'Finn?'

'Huh? Yeah?' Shawn's voice calling out my name brings my thoughts back into focus as I try to figure out what on earth he just said and what he is expecting me to say right now. 'Sorry? What did yo-'
