Showmance

IHOP

"Going to IHOP after the closing night of a show is a time honored tradition for this theater. Most places have a cast party but for some reason the students who came before us decided to go eat pancakes instead and get diabetes. Either way, it's pretty fun. I always get the double chocolate pancakes with a soda, it really takes the whole 'the show is over and I'm sad' edge off." -Bea before the show on closing night

    "Hey."

    "Hi. Um, how are you?"

    "I'm good. How are you?"

    "Fine. I'm just glad the whole show is over with."

    "So am I. But I will miss one thing."

    "Oh really?"

    "Yes."

    "Are you going to keep it a secret?"

    "Are you sure you want to know?"

    "Pretty sure."

    "I'm not going to tell you if you're only pretty sure."

    "Fine. I am entirely sure that I want to know."

    "I'm going to miss spending time with you."

    "..."

    "Is that all right with you?"

    "You don't really need my permission."

    "But I'd like it anyway."

    "You have it."

    "I'm... sorry about how I acted earlier."

    "Don't worry about it, I deserved it."

    "That's not true."

    "You know it is."

    "Can we share the blame?"

    "I guess. I don't really know how that will help anyone."

    "It will help me and that's all that matters."

    "Oh shut up."

    "You say that like you hate me but you're laughing like you like me."

    "The world may never know the truth."

    "But I would like to know."

    "It depends."

    "On what?"

    "Do you still like me?"

    "I don't like answering stupid questions."

    "Is that a yes?"

    "Duh."

    "Then yes, I do like you."

    "I'm glad."

    "Me too."

    "You know, my offer still stands."

    "And my acceptance still stands."

    "Then it's settled."

    "What is?"

    "You know what."

    "I do but I want to hear you say it."

    "You, Lennon, and me, Eric, are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend."

Yay it happened! As you all know, Showmance ends on the 29th so there will only be ONE MORE UPDATE. I know Monday's aren't the usual update day but I wanted to make the epilogue fall on Leap Day because this story is special and Leap Day is special too.

Also, on March 1st (Tuesday) I will be posting the rules for the one shot contest and a little extra thing for you lovely readers on Below the Surface! So keep an eye out for that :)
