After the Senior Party (Ryan and Sharpay-car)

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan let out a light breath as Sharpay squeezed his hand lightly, it was even something just as subtle as that action that was able to almost act as calming thing to him, his own little sign of reassurance that everything was going to be fine even when so many things in their lives told them that they were going to have a rough road ahead of them. As she moved into his lap once again, he smiled and let out a slight chuckle, pressing his forehead his forehead to her's, his eyes still able to just able to see her intense brown ones as he returned her soft kiss.

He let out another happy sigh as Sharpay's hand found its way to his face, she always had the way of taking how calming he was trying to be to her and turning it back on him, he wasn't going to deny that he was nervous about the thought of losing her, but in his mind the fact they were together now was good enough for him. "Nothing's going to happen to us." He stated softly to her, he face still pressed close to her's as he gave her another soft kiss. He reached his free hand up to grab her's slowly and squeezed back in the way she had his. "It's you and me, forever." He added slowly, knowing that it was true, they'd always been together, nothing could stop them now.

His happy smile faltered again however when Sharpay spoke once more, something in her voice seemed so foreboding and it caught him off guard, she seemed so paranoid, even more than he is now. "Shar," He said slowly, shaking his head in a slight amused disbelief. "There's nothing that can make me stop loving you, no matter what happens." He added, smiling at her as he caught the look in her eyes, the one filled with so much sadness and worry. "No matter what happens, I'll still love you just as much as I do now, and nothing can change that reality." He repeated again as he slowly teased his hand across her face and kissed her softly, wanting so much to take away all the pains she's feeling.

[Sharpay Evans]

Despite all the negative thoughts that was entering her mind, Sharpay had relaxed once Ryan kissed her, every kiss seemed to make her forget why she was worrying about them in the first place. It was just something about Marco Ventura's look that made her think that things are going to be rough for them sooner or later. But as Ryan teased his hand across her face and gave her another kiss, she realized she really had nothing to worry about, they've been through a lot already and this would just be like one of the many challenges that they had faced together.

Sharpay kissed him back just as softly, her hand likewise going to his face, touching him just as he did to her, gently and teasingly. She broke the kiss and pulled away just enough so that their lips were just barely touching, and smiled at him. "I love you Ry," she whispered to him as her arms snaked around his neck, and softly kissed him again, "so... so... so... much," repeating the process after every word. After saying the last word, she captured his lips again, her arms tightening slightly around his neck.

She heard another growling sound of the thunder, which made her jump slightly, almost breaking the kiss but she was too caught up in the moment to ruin it right now. She pressed herself even closer to him, just wanting to be as physically close as possible to Ryan. She had this gut feeling that made her want to make this moment last for as long as they can; it was as if something was telling her that it would be a long time again since they could be together like this, and she would do anything right now if she could just to be able to stay this way with Ryan.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan felt a slow shiver creeping up his spine, the goofy grin forming on his face as Sharpay's hand traced slowly along his face, knowing full this is just another one of their pleasant moments of reciprocation. He shuddered lightly and chuckled softly, this reaction on his behalf was the purest and most honest reaction he had to her; she drove him crazy and for that, he knew that sanity was as relative as relativity could be.

He mirrored her small smile, breathing out slowly with a slightly relieved happiness that things at least seemed to be okay again, for now, they would never be without their paranoia and worries, but if their life together could be populated by mostly happy moments together, he'd take whatever was thrown at them, whatever that was he'd take it all and they'd be stronger for it. He leaned up from his position against the car door and kissed her softly, and let out another slight breath, pure happiness in every sigh. "I love you too Shar," He said softly, pressing his forehead to her's, locking her gaze softly. "So... so... so much." He mirrored, returning each kiss gladly.

As she leaned closer to him, their soft kisses slowly intensifying he couldn't help but be slightly aware of it all again, the slight perfection of it all knowing this was just another moment with her he wouldn't be able to forgot. He could feel the warmth of her arms against her neck, mixed with the slight cold of the wind and the rain bearing down upon the window just behind his head. At the rumble of thunder, in slightly surprise his hands which were slowly slipping down to her waist slowly hit the door with a light thud. As Sharpay moved closer to him, he felt himself pressed even tighter to the door, letting out a slight sound as she moved closer, kissing her back harder as to tell her that it was just thunder, nothing more and he'd be here just like he was all those times as kids, he was here for her even through something as simple as this or as intense of an unknown looming threat.

He made a move to move his arms up to embrace her, but he found that his right arm was unable to break free of something, he let out a slight groan of impatience and tried not to break the kiss as he tried to pull his jacket sleeve free of whatever it was caught on. The last thing he needed was to be the one to interrupt their moment after all the interruptions they had already faced. He wrapped his left arm around Sharpay's waist while still trying to free his arm, giving on last hard tug, the sound of a lightly pop and buckling sound reaching his ears.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay smiled through the kiss when Ryan kissed her harder, knowing that it was his way of comforting her, and he has never failed to make her feel calm and relaxed even when they were just kids. She kissed back just as intensely, letting him know through it that she's ok now, and it was all because of him. She suddenly felt like she had to make it up to him, to make this night memorable enough for whatever is coming up soon between the two of them. She was blaming her paranoia, and the weird gut feeling that was making her think that this would be their last alone moment for quite some time. She already had that terrible feeling inside of her, no matter how much she wanted to ignore it, that she was going to miss being with him.

She tried to focus again on Ryan alone and this time, she was hoping not to fail. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders, gripping on to them tightly before making a move to push him slightly, this being her attempt to intensify the kiss even more and bring the two of them to another level. But she was suddenly caught off guard when she pushed him slightly, and the door that he was leaning to just a while ago suddenly opened, making the both of them fall off the car and out on to the pouring rain, but not without her letting out a slight scream. She immediately placed her hands behind Ryan's head though, to keep it from hitting the ground.

When Ryan landed on his back and her being on top of him, she opened her eyes and immediately checked to see if he's ok. "Ry, are you ok? Are you hurt?" She asked, placing her hands gently on his face. She moved in a more comfortable position for Ryan but still remained on top of him, and she couldn't help but smile at the fact that they were still holding on to each other even when they have fallen out of the car. That fact made her feel that maybe, just maybe, no one and nothing can really keep them apart for too long, they would hold on to each other just like what they had done from when they were still kids. Her smile grew wider, not even noticing the fact that they are now slowly getting drenched in the rain.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan couldn't help but groan softly as Sharpay kissed back just as intensely, just glad that they could be together like this again, always glad when the moments where all their paranoia, and their worrying, and the threat of real life issues looming over them, all those things could be forgotten now, they couldn't reach them here. He leaned into again once more to kiss her, only to soon feel her hands placed on his shoulders and pushing him against the door, an slight smirking forming on his lips as he leaned back against the door from her slight push.

He was taken aback however when he leaned against the door, and the door started to lean with him, this was one of those things that was certainly not part of their regular practice routine. He smacked his head lightly against the window as the door pushed open more, making a slightly weird squeaking noise as he broke the kiss and tried to fruitlessly sit up as the momentum of his leaning back and Sharpay's light pressure on his caused them to topple backwards out of the car.

Once he landed on the pavement he realized what the popping and buckling sound had been, his jacket must have been caught on the door handle. He couldn't help but let a laugh rip from his chest, running his hand up to his hair as he opened his eyes, trying to shield the rain water from dripping into his face, only proving to be more fruitless as they lay out longer in the pouring rain. He chuckled softly, placing a hand over one of her's when she slowly touched his face, the grin on his face never faltering as he smiled at her. "I have the strangest feeling we've been in this situation before," He said tapping his chin in mock thought.

It had seemed to be a common theme now to him that he had taken to falling over and hurting himself even more than usual in her presence. "I've fallen into a pool fully clothed, I've smacked my head on the wall of the same pool, I've fallen and smacked my head on the ground of our secret spot,I've run head first into a door, and now I've fallen out of a car." He said, rattling off all the injuries to come to him either with her nearby or directly involving her. "I think you just have a weird affect on me." He added with a laugh and a nod as he leaned up to give her a soft kiss, once again glad that the rain was acting as a sufficient cover for their actions.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay laughed along with Ryan, recalling those times that Ryan had hurt himself accidentally whenever he was around her. She shook her head at him as she tried to wipe the rain water from his face. "And also...you hit your head on the wall on that one time after we came home from school," she blushed lightly as she remembered how exactly that one thing happened. "So does that mean I'm an accident prone zone?" She stuck her tongue out at him, and giggled, lightly hitting him on the chest with her other hand.

She smiled though, when he mentioned having that effect on him. She kissed back just as softly, relishing these limited moments she has with him. When she broke the kiss, she giggled softly as a thought suddenly entered her mind while recalling her moments with him. "You know what, Ry? You tend to make my cinematic dreams come true as well." She sat up slowly, pulling him along with her, smiling at him. "You just gave me my first kiss in the rain." She held his hands in hers, and slowly stood up, still pulling him along with her.

When they were finally standing up, facing each other, Sharpay looked around them. Besides the fact that the park looked deserted, the rain served as their curtain as well. She knew they'd be perfectly safe here and right now for what she was going to ask of Ryan. "Ry," she faced him again, a playful smile pasted on her face, "can you make it more cinematic, like all our other moments?" She asked him, slowly placing her arms over his shoulders. "Like...make it really memorable, for the two of us." She said softly through the rain, moving her body closer towards his. She knew that this would be one moment that she'd surely remember, and will forever be in her mind, the moment that she'd love looking back to and smile.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan shook his head with a sheepish grin, recalling exactly how he'd gotten the bump on the back of his head, only a further attestment to the fact Sharpay made him a clumsy jittering mess. "Yes," He said with a curt nod, bursting out into a playful laugh."You are a danger zone, and I should be in constant worry about my health and safety around you." He added dramatically, sticking his tongue out in another mirroringly playful way.

He shook his head out lightly, the rain dripping down his face slowly, seeming impossible to wipe away no matter how hard he tried, knowing that there was something strangely romantic about being outside in a torrential downpour with his girlfriend. He looked at her with a slightly unemotioned gaze as she pulled him to his feet, bringing up the fact that they seemed to live very cinematic lives, it was odd how in movies it seemed cliche, but for them it only added to further perfection of their relationship; being who they were, it seemed only fitting for them to live their own little mini-movie.

A slow grin played across his calm face when Sharpay questioned him about having another cinematic moment they could add to the growing list, knowing that this wasn't the first moment they'd had like this, but he could at the very least relish the fact it also wouldn't be their last. He gave a beaming grin, slightly hinted in a playful mischief as he stepped closer to her, closing the space between them, slowly breathing out into a happy, breathless sigh. "Ok," He said into a slow nod, unable to formalute any further agreement then that, they didn't need words at this moment.

He took a deep breath and gave her one last slightly smirking smile before placing his wet hand softly on Sharpay's face, slowly leaning in to capture her lips into another soft kiss, his fingers slowly teasing along her face as he leaned closer to her. He slowly moved his hand up through her now dripping wet hair, slowly moving them back as a unit against his car, slowly leaning them against his car, continuing to kiss her intensely.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay's smile slowly grew as Ryan moved even closer to her, leaving no space between them. She felt her heart do that weird jump once again when he started to lean closer to her, his hand teasing along her face, his cold fingers leaving weird tingles along her skin. When their lips met once again to fulfill their cinematic moment, Sharpay tried to memorize every feeling...the droplets of rain on their faces, his hand on the back of her head running through her hair, her back pressed against the car, it felt perfect to her as if it's too good to be true.

She kissed back, slowly intensifying the kiss even more as she pulled him closer to her, pressing his body against hers as if she relied on his warmth while her hands slowly started to play with his likewise wet hair. She leaned even more on the car, her head tilting slowly backwards, deepening the kiss in the process. True to his word, Ryan made this moment so motion picture perfect, she could even imagine it playing in her mind. Now if only other people can see what she can, Sharpay thought, they'd think there'd be no other sweeter and more romantic couple than Ryan and Sharpay...Noah and Allie wouldn't even come close.

As she felt the moment get more intense after every second, she slid her hands down his chest, down to his sides, and slowly gripped on the edges of his rain drenched shirt. Her hands slipped inside, loving the feeling of her cold hands against his warm though wet skin. She could feel the haze filling her mind, making her unable to think now and to her it was a relief and a comfort...she couldn't worry about them anymore. What matters is here and now, and being like this with Ryan.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan leaned further into the kiss, moving in closer to her slowly taking the last few steps that kept them apart as he pressed tighter to her, hoping that this kiss was just what she was looking for in the cinematics department, if only he'd had more hindsight about tonight, he might have planned something more romantic than just making out in the rain against his sports car after a particularly stressful party, then again it didn't sound like a movie, but it was at least perfect enough in his eyes, definitely a romantic movie he would pay to see.

As Sharpay tilted further onto the car, he took his cue to move even closer to her, slowly deepening their intense kiss, his mind teetering on the edge of abandon of reason, and the fact that despite the fact it was raining they were still very out in the open, which was a slightly dangerous move, but by the same token was just the right amount of thrill that just made the moment more theatrical than he could have ever imagined. He decided he would just live for the thrill for now, this was a moment he didn't want to take for granted, especially when they had so few moments where they could be as open as this, this was in fact as public as they had ever been, and probably would be for a long time to follow, he couldn't throw this away now, he couldn't ruin the moment because of some idle, improbable fear of the unknown.

He gave a slight shudder and groan into the kiss, breaking away for a second as her hands slipped under his shirt, only now realizing how cold and wet they were with her fingers tracing along his skin, once again enjoying the fact they seemed to balance hot and cold perfectly. He gave her a brief slitted eye glance before leaning in again to resume their intense session of kissing, knowing this would be one of those moments he would look back on later in life with a slight nostalgia of how perfect it was. He leaned closer to her, slowly removing his hands that had been threaded through her hair and pressing them against the car to help brace himself up as he leaned into the kiss once more, his knees buckling slightly as he slowly felt his hands slipping along the car, his footing slipping slightly into the puddle he was standing in, now finally ruining their intense kiss as his head smacked upwards against the hard exterior of the car.

[Sharpay Evans]

Sharpay smiled when Ryan groaned and broke the kiss for a moment, it still felt amazing to know that she has this much effect on him. It wasn't like how the other guys react when she walked past them, those were purely out of lust. With Ryan, it was pure love, and he truly cares for her. She looked back at him with her own intense eyes, feeling so loved at that moment that her heart beat started to race even more, it felt like it would explode any minute now. When he resumed their intense kissing, she moved her hands further on his back, tracing his slight muscles on it.

Sharpay now knew Ryan wasn't kidding when he promised her a cinematic moment, this is definitely more perfectly romantic than she had ever imagined for it to be. She could feel him leaning closer to her, his hands braced against the car for support. She was expecting it to be even more intense now, and she could feel the butterflies flutter wildly in her stomach. She almost whimpered in anticipation, but before she could respond even more, she felt his hands slipped from the car, and everything just happened so fast. His feet slipped from the puddle on the ground, which made him lose total balance, which then resulted to his face smacking against his car.

She screamed slightly and quickly helped Ryan up, her still cold hands going straight to his face. "Ry, you ok?" She was careful not to press too hard on it, not wanting to hurt him anymore. When the shock had passed though, she couldn't help but let out a laugh, gentle at first, but it became louder and louder as it sank in. "Well, I guess that's our cue to stop now," she said in between laughters, shaking her head slightly as she thought that maybe he really isn't safe around her and it's as if he doesn't even care.

[Ryan Evans]

Ryan clutched his head, making light sounds to himself, his head shaking in light disbelief that he could really be this accident prone, it just seemed so unlikely that one person could be that spastic and that clumsy, but everyday he seemed to become less and less surprised by the things that happened to him, by now they were just starting to make sense; everything he did now just seemed to add up to the sole fact that nothing really seemed to purely add up anymore and yet it all seemed ok.

Touching his head lightly, assessing that he hadn't done that much damage, but there would be a slight likelyhood that at the very least he might get a bruise from his own stupidity this time. He shook his head again, finally turning his glance to Sharpay as he took several strained blinks, his own soft laughter brimming in his throat, knowing that she wasn't laughing with him, but more probably at the fact they seemed to bask in the irony; they had just been talking about all the times he had injured himself before, and here he was injuring himself again.

"I'm fine," He said into a louder laugh, looking at her, smiling happily still despite having taking a face full of car exterior. "I'm really fine," He said again slowly, standing up taller again, shaking his head more violently this time, laughing as he realized now that they were standing in the pouring rain, and they hadn't even seemed to notice until now, at the very least he had been so caught up that he had forgotten that anything else had existed but Sharpay and himself. "But you're right," He said into a harder laugh, rain streaming down his hair slowly, causing him to blink furiously to be able to keep Sharpay clearly in his sight. "We should stop, I don't really want to get struck by lightning today." He said in a tone that both echoed slight seriousness, and slightly joking at the fact he seemed so unlucky it might actually happen to him. He ran his hand through his hair, his hair spiking up slightly only to be weighted down by rain once more as soon as his hand was back by his side.

"Thank you," He said slowly as he leaned in and kissed her softly, pulling away with a small smile, chuckling softly. "You made me forget how bad that party was." He said with a nod, holding his hand up to shield his eyes as he looked at her happily, knowing that even when his days were unlucky, he was still the luckiest person he knew despite all that, and despite everything that had happened, all they ever seemed to need was one another to make everything make sense again, especially when lately very few things made sense to him. He leaned over and opened the front passenger's door for her just as he had done short hours ago. "I guess we should get home now," He said, sighing a slight dramatized sigh, knowing that even at home they would most likely be together, so as long as that remained true he would be happy. Once her door was closed safely he jogged around to the driver's side, making sure not to slip on the puddles, and opened his own door before sliding in and leaning his head on the steering wheel for a moment before turning the key in the ignition, the sound of the engine slowly roaring to life seemed bittersweet, and yet he couldn't figure out exactly why.
