    Author Notes:

    Let’s not fool ourselves in vain

    They exchanged a smile, knowing if this had been anything other than a high school dance, Tina would have done just that.

    "Can you see it? Sixteen years from now, Angelica’s going to be one of these kids," Bette said.

    "Please don’t remind me," Tina groaned. "I just remembered what I was like in high school, and it wasn’t pretty."

    "You were a popular cheerleader." Bette reminded. "As compared, of course, to the manic theater geek who studied all the time."

    "You got into Yale."

    Bette lifted an eyebrow. "You could have, too, if you studied more and hung out with friends less."

    "You sound like my mother."

    "You think I just filter out these random tidbits of information you like to share when we fight? I pay attention." Bette glanced back at the crowd. "You think we’ll be invited to chaperone Angelica’s high school dances?"

    "Please stop reminding me she’s going to be a teenager someday."

    "I bet she’s going to have sex at the prom."

    "Stop talking."

    "She’ll probably experience a hangover long before that."

    "Bette."

    Bette took note of Tina’s tone, and retracted. "As long as she doesn’t do anything stupid like smash her car into a tree, right?"

    Tina smiled wryly. "With our luck?"

    Bette smiled back, and decided it might be best not to answer that rhetorical question. She glanced around. "You think you’ll get grounded if you skip out of this dance early?"

    "Let them try to get me into detention," Tina replied. "Let’s give Andie ten minutes so I can tell her."

    Bette nodded, and resumed glancing at the crowd. "T?"

    "Hmm?"

    "You think we would’ve gotten together if we met in high school?"

    "I don’t know." Tina regarded her, and smirked. "I don’t think I would’ve gone for a theater geek."

    Bette laughed at that statement. "You would’ve been nothing to me but a blond cheerleader."

    "What if I hadn’t been a cheerleader?"

    "Maybe." Bette smiled. "I would’ve had fun corrupting you. Being older, and all."

    "Seduce my inner lesbian right out to the surface?" Tina smiled.

    "Inner?" Bette repeated skeptically.

    Tina smiled at her. "I would’ve tried dating boys to convince myself I wasn’t gay, of course."

    "Of course."

    "Then you’d go right ahead and prove me wrong."

    "It’s what I do," Bette affirmed.

    "Turn my world inside out with your kiss."

    "Making out in empty classrooms."

    "Eraser rooms," Tina interrupted. Bette glanced at her, and she explained. "Andrea said that’s the preferred locations these days."

    "Eraser rooms." Bette took a sip of her drink. "Can you imagine?"

    Tina shrugged. "I might’ve found you intriguing."

    "I might think of you naked."

    They glanced at each other.

    "Gosh, ten minutes already." Tina said suddenly.

    "Imagine that," Bette agreed, knowing full well the time elapsed was two minutes, tops, and followed Tina as they sped out of the school gym. "Car?"

    "Took a cab."

    "I’m parked nearby."

    "I drive faster."

    Bette tossed her the keys. "Your place, or mine?"

    Tina stopped walking, and burst out laughing.

    Bette stopped a few feet from her, startled. "What?"

    Tina was beside herself in amusement. "You didn’t book a hotel room?"

    "You’re making fun of me." Bette said, grinning, as Tina finally regained enough composure to get to the car.

    Tina shrugged. "Too easy."

    "Keep it up, and you might not get any." Bette told her.

    "Honey," Tina smiled patiently at her, "that would’ve sold much better if you didn’t look so horrified at the idea."

    Bette rolled her eyes, and approached her car.

    "Hey, B?" Tina called after her.

    Bette stopped, and turned to her.

    Tina approached her, smiling.

    "What?"

    "Nothing." Tina grinned at her, wrapping her arm around Bette’s waist. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

    Bette glanced around, noted the severe absence of people, and pulled Tina closer.

    Tina immediately sombered. "What are you doing?"

    "Something I probably wouldn’t have done in high school," Bette replied, leaning closer to Tina.

    Tina smiled into their near-kiss. "Theater geeks better know how to kiss."

    "You’d be amazed," Bette told her, before placing her lips on Tina’s.

    Warm and tingly, indeed.

    2. I LMAO’d at the car crash reference and giggled at the eraser room reference. If they want each other that badly and no one else is around, they could pretend to be teenagers and do it in the car. ;)

    6. I am tingly and giddy with this post. Their banter is very refreshing. The eraser room was safe that night because those two would have rocked it like no other couple has. Now this is the kind of B&T story that I love. Thank you for the post.

    11. tiff, absolutely loved it. it’s amazing how in almost every chapter u manage to bring out the love (and sexual tension) between these 2. i think it heightens because you dont really write too many NC-17s. i was reading reprisal (again) and remembered u like to leave certain things upto r imagination. great work, cannot wait for more!

    13. you are rigth in More than a feeling FF the most popular placer is the eraser room! B&T look so relax and in love and is fantastic! you make me have hope in this couple for the next season! take care

    19. I’m loving the story, but feel like I missed something. I’ve reread last chapter, and don’t understand this one ? Has Bette decided to commit?

    20. u said once that u’d never post a NC17, are you changing your mind, am only asking cause so many ppl are asking for u to post it already. I TOTALLY LOVE HOW U GET THEM TALKING!!!!!

    21. Well TD, Fabulous as always. The interplay between Bette and Tina is magical in your self-assured hands. Yes, I adored the Angel’s car hit tree reference along with the wonders of a school eraser room/necking location. I too miss “More Than A Feeling” but your fantastic fan fiction keeps me going with its peppy dialogue and inspirational observations. Thank you very much because the apparent simplicity of these stories belie the hard work and effort involved in creating them. Brava! Your Loyal Fan.

    32. you are just too good…what’s this about eraser rooms? whole rooms for erasers? don’t you have white boards in the USA?…sexually charged convo…sex in the car sounds hot!!! more

    33. i found the references…cute….i love their dialog…you are the master and i love this story which i’m pretty sure you’re tired to hear from me but after reading it i don’t have anything clever to say, i’m still smiling happily with no thoughts
