Lance or JC tell the other "I love you" for the first time.

Can be schmoopy, funny, nonchalant, etc. Anything but a sad time.

Have at. :)

JC smiled, gazing around the room. The beach house was filled with his friends and friends of his friends. It was nice, he supposed, but he needed something a little quieter. At least for a few minutes.

After making his way over to Joey, JC whispered in his ear, letting him know he was going down to the beach. When he reached the sand, he rolled his pants up above his knees and smiled. The sand was warm between his toes as he began to walk towards the water. His eyes watched the sun drop in the sky as he waded until he was knee-deep in the ocean. Then he stood and waited.

*Nine minutes this time*. JC smiled. *He must be slowing down in his old age*.

“Joey said you left to get some fresh air.”

Without turning around, he knew Lance was carefully picking his way through the surf. “I wanted to see the sunset. Preferably without a bunch of your drunken friends around.”

“Hey now, they’re your friends, too.”

“Don’t remind me.”

When Lance reached him, he threw his arms around JC’s waist and settled his chin onto JC’s shoulder. “I keep meaning to ask you something, since you’re so much older and wiser than me.”

“Maybe you should ask Chris,” JC chuckled.

“No. I want to know what you think.”

JC tilted his head so it rested against Lance’s. His voice quieted as he replied. “Ask me anything.”

“How will I know when I’m in love? What does it feel like?”

“I don’t know, Lance.”

“Haven’t you ever been in love?”

JC turned slightly and shivered enough that Lance lifted his head to meet JC’s eyes. He was serious. So serious. Lance always had been the serious one.

“I don’t know, Lance. You just know.” One look at Lance’s expression assured him that Lance was not going to accept that for an answer. “Okay, when you love someone, you always want to be with them and when you’re not, you miss them. When you’re with other people, you wish you were with the person you love.”

“What about when you’re with the person you love?”

“You feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I suppose. And you want to touch them.” JC noticed Lance closing the distance between them once more. “And you want them to touch you.”

Lance’s hand crawled beneath JC’s shirt, skimming over his skin. JC stopped breathing for a moment and looked into Lance’s eyes again. So serious.

JC cleared his throat, then whispered, “And you want them to kiss you.”

Lance’s smile lit his face as he took JC’s hands in his, threading their fingers together, and leaned forward until their lips met. When he pulled away, he asked, “Anything else?”

“You want to hear them say it. You want to tell them how you feel, but you need to hear it first, just to be sure they feel the same way.”

Lance swung their hands gently and looked into JC’s eyes as they reflected the sunset. “I Love you, JC.”

JC had to fight back his tears of happiness as he barely choked out, “I love you, too.”

He pulled Lance into a hug so quickly that they became a twisted tangle of arms and legs, falling into the water together. They both laughed. When JC scrambled to his feet and offered his hand to Lance, Lance smiled and pulled JC back into the water, rolling him onto his back and kissing him deeply. Looking into JC’s blue eyes, Lance knew he could easily drown in their depth, but he really didn’t care. As long as they were together, he knew they’d both be happy.
