Chris watched as the girl walked into the after party for Naya's wedding. He couldn't help but allow his eyes to flicker up and down the girl as she made her way towards him.

The man couldn't help but let a huge smile form on his face at the sight of her. She pointed at him with a grin, he knew exactly what she wanted.

She wanted him to dance with her.

She did a little dance on her own and Chris couldn't help but wonder how much she had had to drink to be currently dancing alone on the dance floor.

A few hollers from Naya and her other bridesmaids were heard as Fallon continued to point to Chris.

"There's no way out of this one man." Jax said as he placed his hand on Chris' shoulder. "My sister wants to dance and you are her date." He paused. "You poor, poor fool." Jax chuckled as he finished the rest of his beer.

He shook his head in response, causing the girl to pout. She knew that he couldn't resist the pout. So he let out a small groan before walking up to the girl and wrapping his arms around her waist.

Chris was her date, and that meant that he had to dance with her. Just like when they were back in school and attending prom. They were always the others date, which meant they would always dance with each other, no matter what.

He remembered the one year that his girlfriend broke up with him because he told her that he always took Fallon to prom and that he wasn't about to break a tradition. Not when traditions were important to the pair.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" Chris questioned as he pressed his forehead against hers.

Her arms wrapped around his shoulders and she threaded her fingers through his hair. The dark blue suit complimented him well. He looked good and she knew that he knew it. She liked when he was cocky and confident about himself. It was something that she found incredibly attractive.

"Only a couple hundred times." She chuckled, she tried to bite back a smile but she couldn't control the grin forming on her face.

"I'm glad you asked me to be your date." He whispered, lightly brushing their noses together, causing the cliche butterflies to form.

"I didn't really give you a choice." She whispered back, her warm breath mingling with his as they swayed to the gentle music.

The day that Naya told Fallon that she had a date set for the wedding she ran around to Chris' and instantly asked him to be her date. She remembered the confused look on Chris' face but he agreed regardless.

"It's a good job that I taught you how to dance when we were kids." Fallon uttered as she looked up at the boy through her lashes. His green eyes sparkled in the low lights and his eyes never left her lips as she spoke.

"I threw you in the snow cause you stepped on my toe." Chris chuckled at the memory. It seemed like only yesterday, but in reality it had been years and they'd both changed so much since then.

Nothing felt the same as it did when they were thirteen.

"You stepped on mine first." Fallon reminded the man as he began to trace patterns on the small of the girls back, pulling her into his chest as he did so. "What are you doing?" She questioned as her breath hitched.

"Nothing." He shrugged playfully, he was feeling slightly tipsy, which made him more confident. He hoped to God that he wouldn't regret any of his choices tomorrow.

Fallon looked at the man with furrowed brows, she had had a lot to drink in the past couple of hours, after all it was a celebration. So, she wasn't sure if she was imagining things or not.

She lightly pressed her lips against Chris' for a split second. Chris closed his eyes and enjoyed the way her lips felt against his. It was only brief, nothing that anyone would actually pick up on if they saw. But to him, it meant something.

A smirk formed on Chris' face as he looked around the room before grabbing the girls hand and pulling her out of the after party.

"Is everything okay?" Fallon questioned curiously, he looked okay, he didn't seemed to be panicked or anxious. He seemed pretty relaxed.

She watched as he loosened his tie and turned to look at the girl. They were both slightly tipsy, but he couldn't help it.

He cupped the girls face and connected their lips. He faintly heard Fallon gasp but she quickly kissed him back. Her hands gripped his blazer and pulled him closer to her.

She needed him.

Chris smirked into the kiss. It had been years since they last kissed. He remembered it vividly, they were on a road trip with no one else in sight. God, if he could go back to that moment, he would in a heart beat.

"Chris?" Fallon mumbled against his lips.

Chris hummed his response as he pulled away from the girl and began to kiss down her jaw and towards her neck. She couldn't help but let out a moan.

"Do you have your room key?" She continued. Chris pulled away from the girl with a smirk as he dug into his back pocket and pulled out the room key for their hotel room. "Let's go."
