A/N: Sorry it's so short!
General POV
Demi moved a hand through her hair and shook her head. Each girl glared at the back of her best friend’s head as the pair walked away from them, but neither could keep back a smile as the two girls tentatively held hands. But then the girls were gone, and the awkwardness came back.
Demi started saying, “I don’t know what I--” just as Selena started saying, “I shouldn’t have just--”
Both girls forced out laughs and sad smiles.
“Go ahead,” Demi said.
“No, it’s okay, you go.” Demi sighed and looked at the ground while she spoke, picking the nail polish off of her fingers.
“I just… I don’t know what I did, to make you so upset before, but I’m sorry for whatever it was.”
“What?” Selena’s sad smile turned into an incredulous one. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. I was just…” her gaze dropped for one moment before she went back to looking at Demi, who wouldn’t meet her gaze, “I’m sorry for not believing you. I guess I’m… ahem… a little, um, in denial right now and, um… I don’t usually tell people what I’m feeling; it’s… not like me. I got scared, and I ran off, and I’m sorry for making you think it was your fault, because it wasn’t, and I know that I’m seeming pretty dorky right now, and you can stop me anytime, but I just wanted you to know that even though you’re not interested, I am, in you I mean, and I think it’s be really nice to be with you, even though I don’t--”
“I am interested,” Demi said, but Selena didn’t register the sound.
“--know you very well, because you’ve been on my mind since I saw you in the park, and I guess I just misjudged your reaction in the grocery, because I thought you were interested, you know, but apparently--”
“I am interested.” Demi took Selena’s hands, effectively stopping her speech. “I am interested,” she said again. Selena brought her gaze back up to meet Demi’s, and she wondered when the roles had reversed and she had become the shy one. Demi bit her bottom lip, and their eyes started to wander. “I’m sorry if I made you think any different,” she continued. Demi hoped she could say the right words. “You’ve been all I could think about for the past two months. I--” she bit her lip and felt the roles change again, “I’ve been trying to write these songs, but… they’re not finished.”
Selena smiled. “I have too, actually.” They unconsciously stepped closer to each other, and Demi looked up, studying Selena’s features. Selena slowly brought a hand up and pushed Demi’s hair out of her face, leaving her hand there to stroke the side of her face. “Demi… your name, is it short for something?”
Demi’s mouth formed a half-smile, and she shrugged as she answered, “My full name’s Demetria Devonne Lovato.”
Selena couldn’t believe the poetic quality of that name. Demi blushed, as if Selena had spoken her words out loud (Selena briefly wondered if she had). The adorable flush quickly distracted Selena, and she leant just that little bit closer. They could feel each other’s warm breath on their lips as they brushed the slightest bit--
“Congratulations, you guys!” Jenna seemed to appear out of nowhere with her statement, abruptly bringing the two girls out of their dream worlds and away from each other. They both smiled awkwardly and thanked Jenna. The runner-up left, and the two girls were left standing there, awkward once again.
Demi was blushing furiously, and Selena could feel the blood start to rush up her neck, so she smiled slightly at the shorter girl and tried to calm her nerves. “Feel like getting out of here?” Demi didn’t look up at Selena as she nodded frantically.
Selena gently took her wrist and pulled Demi along to the parking lot. She stopped on the sidewalk, letting Demi lead the way to Miley’s car.
Demi drove tensely as Selena gave her directions to her house. Her arms were straight out, her hands tight on the steering wheel. She was practically holding her breath. She knew it was awkward again, but she was never good at striking up conversation with someone she’d just almost kissed.
Selena tried not to stare. She really did. But she couldn’t force her eyes away from the (truly) beautiful girl next to her. Such close proximity… if Selena wanted to, she could just lean over and pick up from where they’d left off on stage… and damn it all if she didn’t really, really want to.
Demi glanced over at Selena. “What?” she asked with a wary laugh.
“Nothing,” Selena said, shaking her head, “just… I don’t know.”
Demi sighed. “I don’t really know either.” Demi’s shoulders relaxed a bit at the admission. “I don’t know you. And, um… I’d kind of like to….”
Selena sat up as they came up to her house. “Pull in here,” she told Demi, and they car stopped in the driveway. Demi didn’t turn the car off, and Selena didn’t expect her to. “I want to get to know you too, Demi.”
Demi finally turned to look at Selena, and they both found themselves lost in the darkness of each other’s eyes. “Selena…” Demi’s voice was almost a whisper, and the huskiness in it sent shocks of electricity through Selena’s body. She glanced down at Demi’s mouth as her tongue darted out, and leant forward...
