You + Me [Shameless]

Gimme an F! Gimme a U! Gimme a C! Gimme a K! [bonus]

A/N: Here's a nice lil bonus chapter!
Fun fact: I was on a competitive cheerleading team for nearly ten years, so this chapter was definitely inspired by that. Enjoy! :)

It was a Tuesday afternoon, and Lip and I were currently lounging the Gallagher's living room studying. I was sitting sideways on the couch, my legs in Lip's lap, his thumb drawing circles on my inner calf when he thought I wasn't paying attention. It was like a game. He would brush his hand along my leg repetitively until I looked up. We would make eye contact and he stopped, pretend like nothing happened before I looked down again and he started over.

We were a good chunk into our studying when the door slammed shut, we both turned our heads to see Debbie sulking in.

"Hey Debs, what's wrong?" Lip put down his pen.

"They cut the cheerleading squad along with the football team since they can't afford a coach. And since Mrs. Landon doesn't want to volunteer anymore, they cut it."

"Mrs. Landon? She was like 100 when we were in elementary school, she coaches cheerleading?" I raised an eyebrow.

"She's still alive?" Lip chimed in.

"She's so old, she just sits there."

I looked at Lip, then back to Debbie.

"Well, are they looking for people who may wanna help out?"

"Why?" Debbie asked.

"Because I was on our school's cheerleading team for years, Debs, you know that. I could, I don't know, help out? Teach you guys some things?"

"You'd do that?" Debbie stood up, "Really?"

"Sure! Why not! Just a couple hours a week, I'll show you girls some moves, get in some exercise."

"I can't believe it! This is great!" Debbie started jumping up and down with excitement before running upstairs.

I leaned back into Lip's arms.

"Cheerleading, huh?"

"Yup." I took a sip of my drink.

"...Do you still have that little pleated skirt?" Lip looked at me, I smirked and nodded.

The elementary school's cheerleading team practiced on the field twice a week. I arrived fifteen minutes early to set up what I needed, and noticed the bad shape the field was in. Damn broke public schools.

"Where'd ya want this?" Lip followed behind me with a box of water jugs and cups.

"Just leave them on the stands, I guess." I pointed to the metal bleachers.

"Did I mention earlier," Lip walked over, eyeing me like an animal hunting his prey, "how amazing your ass looks in these yoga pants?" He stood as close to me as possible and then grabbed a butt cheek in each hand. I made a tiny noise.

"Yoga pants were specifically invented to hypnotize the male mind." I leaned in.

"Really?"

"Mmmmhmm." I nodded and pecked his lips.

"Can you two not make out for like, five whole minutes?" Debbie came up behind us, her backpack strapped tightly to her.

"Hey Debs!" I walked over to her. "How was school?"

"The same as always. Where is everyone?" She looked around.

"Well," I placed my hands on my hips, "you're the first one here!"
