Secret Love Song- Lava

We keep behind closed doors

Cole and Kai have been dating for about two months. They haven't told their parents yet but the ninja all know about their relationship.

Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls

Cole was forced to do a show for his father. Afterwords, Kai had pinned Cole to the wall and kissed him.

It'll never be enough

As you drive me to my house
I can't stop these silent tears from rolling down

Cole hums from the passenger seat of the car, tears rolling down his cheeks. Kai grabs Cole's hand and squeezes it tightly.

"It'll be okay."

You and I both have to hide
On the outside where I can't be yours and you
Can't be mine

Cole cries a bit harder as he continues to sing. Kai squeezes his hand tightly. When Cole doesn't continue to sing, Kai picks up.

But I know this
We got a love that is homeless

Cole smiles weakly, looking out of the window. Kai pulls up outside Lou's house and grabs both of Cole's hands.

Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Cole blushes heavily and looks away from Kai. Kai kisses one of Cole's hands.

W-Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops

Cole hugs Kai and cries into his shoulder. Kai rubs his back and takes over again.

I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?

He's right. Cole says in his head. What is stopping us?

'Cause I'm yours

They sing together. Cole jumps out of the car and runs to Kai's side. Kai pulls the drivers seat backwards and opens the door. Cole climbs in and sits on Kai's lap. Kai closes the door again, holding Cole tightly. Kai rocks Cole as he sings.

It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly

Kai traces Cole's bicep making him blush softly. Cole pushes his head into Kai's chest. Kai strokes Cole's hair.

Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless

Kai kisses Cole. Cole blushes and kisses back. When they pull away, Kai squeezes Cole's hand.

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Cole starts to join in.

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

They both blush heavily.

I don't wanna live love this way
I don't wanna hide us away

Kai sings softly, rocking Cole.

I wonder if it ever will change

Cole sings.

I'm living for that day
Someday

They sing together, holding hands and blushing.

When you hold me in the street

Cole sings softly, referring to the time when the pair were waiting for a bus to arrive. Kai had wrapped his arms around Cole's waist and Cole had buried his head into Kai's chest. They'd stayed like that for a good twenty minutes.

And you kiss me on the dance floor

Cole sings softly, referring to the time the ninja went to a party. Cole and Kai had started dating about a week before that event. As they were dancing, Kai had kissed Cole. It was their first kiss.

I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Kai sings.

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?

Cole sings.

Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?

Kai sings.

I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

They sing together.

Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

They share another kiss.

Why can't we be like that

Kai sings, resting his head on top of Cole's.

Wish we could be like that

Cole finishes, sighing softly and wiping his eyes.

Little Mix wrote this song for their LGTBQ fans. This seemed a better idea in my head, but I don't hate it. I hope you enjoyed this oneshot. Hope you're all staying safe and well.
