With tensions...

"I could get used to this." Eric says as he moves closer to Letty on his bed. He wraps his arm around her, and she smiles as she rests her forehead against his bare chest.
"I could definitely think of worse ways to spend my mornings." She lightly runs her finger down his side, and little bumps raise on his skin as a shiver climbs up his spine.
"What if we could wake up like this every morning?" He asks, and her eyebrows furrow as she looks up at him.
"What?"
"Come on, you've been sleeping over a lot anyway." He reasons. "The twins have been keeping you up at night, but they can't if you're here. You won't have to worry about being tired for class in the mornings... And, besides, we started dating in January almost three years ago. I know we weren't together the whole time, but most of it. It's not really rushing anything, is it?"
"You really wanna live together?" She asks, and he nods.
"I should probably make sure that Jack and Shawn don't mind another roommate, but I really don't think either of them will care. Plus, you are Shawn's legal guardian now."
She smiles as she looks at him. "I think it sounds like a good idea. Just let me work some things out with Hope and Jason, 'cause I'm still gonna help with the girls." She tells him, and he nods.
"Okay." He smiles as he pushes himself up on his elbow and then leans over to press his lips to hers. "I love you." He whispers against her lips.
That night, Eric and Letty are getting ready to go out, and he bangs on Jack's bedroom door as he makes his way out toward the living room where his girlfriend is now waiting for him so that they can head out. "Jackie! Come on, move your ass! There's a club full of pretty ladies waiting for you, and I wanna go out with mine."
"You guys should just go without me." Jack says as he walks out behind him. "I'm not real good in the clubs."
"Yeah, well, you're with us."
"Yeah, I know, I'm always with you guys. New guy in town, don't know a lot of people, so I get to tag along."
"Is he pouting again?" Jason questions as he and Hope walk into the boys' apartment. "Dude, shut up and let's go. Tyler and Alec have the twins, and we're free for a night."
"I'm just uncomfortable picking up girls." Jack tells him.
"That's either really sweet or really dorky." Hope says, and Letty chuckles as she puts on her jacket.
"Come on." Jason says, and they all start out of the apartment.
"Pst." Letty gets Hope's attention and then motions to the blonde girl that's by the elevator.
