Lena shook her head at Chris's words and dropped her gaze. Sigh. I think he's avoiding anywhere I might go because I haven't seen him. She shook her head once more though and looked back up at Chris with, It doesn't matter. I'll fix things when I see him, I guess. Then, as he said that he was always there, Lena smiled for a moment before it turned to a slight grimace. Until you leave. Yes, I know. She hugged him once more; well, they'd hit it - the reason for the tears. Whether Chris knew that or not, they'd hit it.

Chris nodded he could understand Blake's reasons for avoiding Lena. The two of them had feelings for each other which ewwww he didn't want to think of Lena with anyother guy or anyother guy liking his girlfriend. "I'm sure you will." He told her. But the uhhh oh she was hugging him again right after she said until he left....What just a minute! Was that the reason for all the tears? He hugged her back still think. "Lena are you upset so much because I'm leaving this term?" He whispered voicing his thoughts.

Lena barely heard what he said, for he was whispering, but she did hear it. And it was then that Lena pulled back from him only enough to look at him. Barely suppressing a sigh, she nodded wearily. I'm sorry, she said miserably, the sigh finally coming through. I told you it was dumb. I shouldn't even be thinking about it and I must be so selfish for being upset about it.... Lena trailed off, shaking her head.

"You're not selfish." Chris told Lena. "I've thought about it before and I'm upset about it as well." He said to her truthfully as he let go of her fully. "I understand you have every right to be upset." He told her shrugging. "Though I want you to know you can tell me these things even if you think it's dumb which it isn't" He said.

Lena looked back up at him as he let go of her.... oh great - same result. Peeeeerfect.... I know I can, she said quietly after a moment, reverting her gaze to the window once more because it was much less painful. I just don't want you to have to think about it all the time either.... because I do, and it sucks, she finished in her head, her green eyes reflecting the sunny day outside.

Chris watched as Lena looked out the window. Awwww. "I don't think about it all the time. But it has crossed my mind. I don't want you thinking about it all the time either alright? We still have a bit of time before I leave. Plus I promise you are the first person I will visit when I come back for Christmas. Well except for my parents." He told her as he placed his hand on her chin and carefully moved her heard so she was looking at him once again. He then placed a soft and quick kiss on her lips.

Lena didn't look back at him as began speaking, though she did smile a very small smile when Chris said she would be the first person to visit besides his parents; sweet, sweet, typical Chris. She didn't object as he turned her head to face him once more, but she also didn't expect the quick kiss he placed on her lips and was therefore left lingering a moment after when she finally reopened her eyes. Okay, she said, flashing him a brief, weak smile. And that was all she said.

Chris smiled slightly back to Lena. Hehee he knew she wasn't expecting that kiss from him after him just pulling away from her. But sighhhh he wanted to make her feel better. "Good." He said and then hugged her again. He had one arm around her waist and one hand on the back of her head. "Hey Lena?" He said thinking quickly. "Maybe you can come with me. Well I mean after you graduate you can come visit for like the summer or something. Because mostly likely I will still be in America." He thought maybe that could actually work....

Lena smiled as Chris hugged her and she hugged him back, embracing not only him but the mere feel of his arm around her waist while his other hand was on the back of her head; she would have breathed it in if she could. Hmmm...? she said, pulling back slightly to look at him as he said her name. As he spoke, a small smile broke onto her face and slowly widened at his words. Finally, as he finished speaking, she tiptoed up and kissed him lightly on the lips, staying at his height for a moment just to smile once more and say, I think that sounds quite exciting, Mr. Kaplan, and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Chris felt Lena pull back from him slightly. Then he saw that wide smile but before he knew anything else she had given him a slightly kiss on the lips. He smiled wide and in that time his hand had moved from the back of her head to her check. He took a deep dreath and just smiled. "Alright then. Next summer it will be you and me and New York." He was excited too. Like really excited! Some much as he hugged her again but this time he actually picked her up thought not really care. He was just did care at the moment he was happy that Lena would be there with him for a little while and getting to see the thing he loves to do most in his life right now. Playing music.

Lena smiled as his hand moved to her cheek, and she familiarly placed one of her own on top of it as he spoke. I like the sound of tha--- was all she managed out before Chris was hugging her again and actually picking her up. She let a momentary noise of surprise escape her lips before it turned into a laugh. Are you a bit happy or something? she asked, now openly grinning.

Chris just laughed when Lena let a suprise sort of noise out as he picker her up. "Yes I guess you could say happy is what I'm feeling. Or really really really excited. Either one would do." He said and chuckled slightly. Though he didn't put Lena down right away he kind of didn't want to. He liked having her close and he liked that he didn't have to bend over now. Heehee.

Though she knew Chris was strong enough to keep holding her, that didn't stop Lena from putting her arms around his neck; it just made her feel better all around. I can see that, too, she said with another laugh, feeling like everything she'd ever thought bad about what might come out of this evaporate on the spot and that it wouldn't return for quite some time.

Chris felt Lena put her arm around his neck. Though he probably could have held her there for awhile it so made it easier and he liked it when she did that...."Oh you can? I did think you were that observent." He said teasing her. This was more like how it was suppose to be nooo fight no tears just hugging and laughing. This was sooo much better. "So you're not sad anymore right?" He asked with a crooked smile.

Lena wrinkled her nose at this, but she refrained from sticking her tongue out at Chris as she usually did.... for now, at least. When she saw that familiar crooked smile, though, she felt her smile reappear. Instead of answering right away, Lena leaned forward and kissed Chris, a bit more slowly than he had with her, but she did pull away after a few seconds. I think that's a safe bet, she said quietly with a small smile.

Chris felt that kiss though it lasted a short time he kissed her back lightly. He laughed at her comment. "I'm glad." He said smiling brightly. "And we are sooo going to get in trouble soon if we keep doing this." He said and chuckled as he commented on the kissing. "Though I like it." Chris told Lena and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I do have to ask about the wrinkled nose is that something you have always done?" He asked quite curious knowing he himself does the same.

Lena chuckled at his words; Chris was probably right, of course, but geez, he couldn't really expect her not to kiss him right then. Her smile spread wide as he added that he liked it anyways. I don't know, she mused, thinking about it for a moment, It's my temporary alternative to sticking my tongue out, I guess. She laughed lightly before looking back at him and getting lost in his eyes, her whole world stopping inch by inch as she grew more caught up within them.

Chris watched Lena just stare right into his eyes. Almost as if she was getting lost in them as he normally does with her. He looked back into her green eyes knowing very well what they meant. 'Love' He just smiled and nodded to her answer. "Now why aren't you sticking your tongue out at me today?" He asked. "I mean you seem to do so almost every day why not now?" He asked her.

Lena was brought out of her staring and shook her head to try and clear it - except there was nothing to clear. At his question, though, she laughed. I could, if you wanted, she said to Chris, a small smile tugging at her lips, But I figured I could sacrifice one day to be nice. She grinned finally as she said this, knowing full well she was never actually mean to Chris.

Chris laughed at what Lena said. "No I don't really want you to. Well I guess if you really really want to then you can." He told her chuckling. But then nodded and smiled. "Ahhh well I thank you. It's good to know you can also be nice." He said. But then he noticed he was still holding Lena. He let out a small sigh and placed her back on the ground. When he stood back up his arms felt much better even though she wasn't even heavy at all!

Lena chuckled but shook her head with a simply smile at Chris's words. That's okay, she said with a wink, But tomorrow is a new day. She smiled once more at this before Chris placed her back on the ground lightly. She chuckled slightly at his expression as he did this and promptly slid herself up onto the small ledge by the window. Soooo, Mr. Kaplan. We've just had a lovely breakfast - where to next?

"Ohhh great." Chris said very sarcasticly and playfully rolling his eyes. "I can't wait to see what you will do to me tomorrow." He said and chuckled. He then shrugged to what Lena said. "Hmmm I don't you can choose what we do next. I'm still to tired to think." He said as he let out a slight yawn. Yeah he totally was not a morning person.

Lena's smile widened, but she shook her head. Oh, no. I'm far too tired to make anymore decisions after all the work I put in here.... she trailed off with a small frown before she smiled at him. Pleeeease? I promise I'll like whatever you pick. Her smile became a frown once more - but this one was a puppy dog frown. Work?? Pleeeease work!

Ahhhhh why was Lena making him think? Oh wellll. Chris was about to say no when he saw that frown but it was like a puppy dog frown. Like those puppy eyes he loved so much. Awwww. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead slightly. "Sure I will figure out something to do." He said taking her hand. Though he had no idea what he was going to do he would figure something out and it had to be soon...

Lena made herself only smile slightly at this, but she did smile, whether it helped or not, as Chris kissed her forehead lightly and took her hand. I have complete faith in you, she said, her smile widening a bit more as she slid off of the ledge and they made their way towards the door.
