Being In Love for the First Time
A/N: Inspired by the Lifehouse song
"How do you know it's for real this time?"
Despite the amused tone in his friend's voice, Emil still felt the sting in the words. "I'm just sure of it. Does there have to be a reason for everything?" he asked.
"No, but I'm only asking based on your track record," Vic said, crossing his arms over his lab coat. "I've literally lost count of the dates you've been on since you and Farrah broke up."
"Well now I don't have to keep looking," Emil replied as he pulled out a book from the stack he had at his library carrel. He noticed a slip of paper peeking out from his notes, which he quickly stowed in his pocket before Vic could ask. It wouldn't do to have his friend be privy to some details of a very tight correspondence.
Vic noticed this all the same and smirked. "So why her?"
"She makes me feel alive," Emil answered without hesitation.
"So do so many other girls," Vic said, waving a pencil in the air. "You said much the same about your exes. So what's different?"
"When I look at her, I see realities I know I can face." He knew he was smiling widely now, but he didn't care."For the first time, things are possible. That's exactly what I see about her."
