“I just want to be with you” ( TROY & GABRIELLA )

it was well past midnight at this point, but surprisingly enough, gabriella was awake and watching some video on youtube about how to make diy projects. cup of tea in her hand, she was humming under her breath whenever she heard a crash outside of her apartment, brows knitting together as she quickly padded across the floor to open her balcony door and step outside. on the ground, there was troy, sprawled out in a mess as he stumbled to get back up. it was a shock, yet she was smiling, because only troy bolton could make falling on his ass outside charming. “what are you doing here, troy?” she whisper-yelled down to him, shaking her head as she wrapped her blanket around her shoulders as she watched him. that’s when he said those words, slightly slurred, that stirred her heart in her chest with pain and yearning. ‘ i just want to be with you.’ nibbling on her bottom lip, she processed what was happening here before leaning against her railing, “are you...troy have you been drinking?” she sighed before shaking her head and looking around, “just...just stay right there, i’ll come down and get you inside.”

        THERE WAS A BASKETBALL heading her way at the park, and her instinct was to catch it before it hit her face. she blinked as she held the ball in her hands, looking at the guys on the court. “  . . .you want this back ? “

time had clearly gotten the best of them catching up, because it wasn’t like troy and gabriella could stay away from each other for more than a week if they were in the same area. she’d gone to the restroom and when she came back, the brunette found troy passed out on her couch, making her smile a bit to herself as she grabbed a blanket from the basket near the sofa. gabriella knew far too well that troy probably didn’t have his apartment together at all, so letting him crash on her couch was actually more peace of mind for her. as she put the blanket over him body, she noticed his face curl into a soft expression before her spoke, “i can’t wait to marry you, gabriella.” and she paused, feeling the way her eyes flooded with tears as she ran her fingers through his hair, because at this point he was completely out like a light. whispered under her breath, she nodded to herself, “me too.” because deep in her heart, even if he was sleep talking, she knew he meant it.

ABOUT ZEKE: “zeke baylor, that boy is one of a kind! we met through troy back in high school, and automatically clicked. we exchanged recipes and had home ec together so we were always partners. even after graduation, i kept in touch with him the most out of troy’s friends. he has a heart of gold, i love that guy.”

ABOUT PEDRO: “we ran into each other at the library one day and...i don’t know, there’s something special about him. he’s way smarter than he gives himself credit for, he’s handsome obviously, but there’s more to him than just that. i don’t know how to explain it, but he always makes me smile and pushes me to be adventurous. really, really thankful to have met him.”

ABOUT BEN: “i haven’t spoken to him much! but, he seems like a really nice guy from word of mouth! reputations are a big deal, apparently, and he seems to have a good one! maybe i should talk to him more often, break out of my shell a little more.”

ABOUT MARIA: “that little troublemaker, i feel like the moment i met her we hit it off. she’s a total sweetheart, even if she is sneaky about a few things that we certainly still need to talk about. i want nothing but the best for her, and with the heart of gold she has, i’m sure that’ll happen for her.”

ABOUT TONY: “mister tony himself, well, i have to say that becoming friends with him and riff when i first moved out here was such a blessing. tony is like the big brother i never had, he’s so compassionate and warm-hearted, i know i can come to him about absolutely anything and he has my back. love him to the moon and back.”

F L A S H B A C K (SADLY ENOUGH)

Things with Troy always felt so right, Gabriella always felt safe and like nothing could touch her when they were together. He was the love of her life, the very first boy she had ever given her heart to and she couldn’t imagine giving it to another. It was like all of those years moving, all of those goodbyes to her past, led her right to him. A firm believer in fate, she fell into his arms and never looked back, he brought out the best in her and reminded her that a man could stay and love fiercely. It was also clear that, after their summer at Lava Springs in which they took things to the next level, that the pair just couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

Sneaking to the roof of East High was a tradition of there’s at this point, before classes got started for the day they would always meet up and start the day off right together. Troy had gotten there before she did, and Gabriella took the opprotunity to sneak up on him, lightly padding up the stairs as she crouched with the biggest grin that she could stretch across her face. Tip-toeing over to where he was standing, back to her as he looked down from the roof at the other students arriving for the day, she held in the giggles that threatened to spill off her lips. Finally, she reached him, delicate arms wrapping around him as she laughed out a, “Boo!” Hearts in her eyes as he jumped a bit and turned around to look at her, that classic Troy Bolton smile on his lips as she scrunched her nose up happily at him, “Good morning mister Troy Bolton, watching the commoners filter in for the day?” She teased with a huge smile still plastered on her face, but that’s just how it was when she saw him, Troy had that effect on almost everyone he met.

“I’m arresting you for being criminally cute.” He teased, which had Gabriella backing up a bit, hands up like she was under arrest, batting her lashes over to him with a pout, “But, officer, I was only trying to steal ONE kiss from my boyfriend. Can I get off with reduced time, is it after all, in the name of love?” She giggled as he scooped her up in a hug, spinning her around as she buried her face into the curve of his neck and hung onto him before slowly being set down onto her feet. As his forehead rested against hers, she felt her smile soften, her hands lightly trailing up and down his strong back as she held him close. “I could stay like this all day.” She admitted softly, one hand coming up now to brush through his hair, nose nudging her as she prepared for a kiss only to have the bell ring in alert that first period was happening soon, “We have to go, c’mon!” Gabriella said with a smile, poking him in the chest and grabbing his hand so they could get to class, even if she wanted to stay in their private oasis for the rest of the day.
