the beauty in this moment./or, seddie way back when.

i remember watching this scene happen so many years ago. June 27 of 2009 to be exact. i just love this moment in every way. it was here that my shipper heart leaped and i realized that i loved seddie with everything i had. and—this may be wishful thinking—i think Dan had them planned out even back then. look at the way he tangles his hands through her hair and he holds her almost protectively. i also love the way he hides behind her, almost like he knows she’s stronger than he is and trusts her—maybe, sorta, kinda. i don’t know what it is about this scene, though. every time i see it, my heart can’t stop itself from jumping up and down and i feel so overcome with emotion. it’s these moments, the moments from way back when that remind me why i ship seddie to begin with. it seems like with all the hype of the arc, and the sheer amazement that seddie finally got together, that we forget these moments. their dynamics and their relationship is just so beautiful. whether they’re dating or not—which in this case it’s a huge not. but, i can’t just can’t help myself but as to pretend that even back then they felt something. maybe not something either of them knew about, but i think their love—remember, they love each other!—has been long since coming.
