A/N: Merry Chrismas, Bluebear (BlueEyes444)! This is going to be a five-chaptered drabble collection, surrounding PansyTeddy, and all of them dedicated to you as your Christmas gift. I hope you'll like it, and that you'll have a wonderful Christmas, dear.
Also, many thanks to my amazing betareader mew (mew-tsubaki)!
One. Constellations.
How they had ended up on that bench, next to the canal, was a different story. Besides, it included so many coincidences that most people wouldn't even believe it.
But here they were, and Teddy had finally stopped crying, and the funny thing was that he didn't even feel embarrassed. He was in fact rather happy, as in happy with a mysterious bubbly feeling creeping up his spine every time Pansy's eyes met his.
"Do you know the name of any constellations?" she suddenly spoke up, and gone was the smirk and the teasing glint in her eyes. It was as though something new had begun with that simple question, something new as in the two of them moving on from being the Teddy without his Vicky and the Pansy that patted the Teddy's back awkwardly. And considering the question she had asked, something told Teddy that they were already up among the stars now.
"Er...not exactly," Teddy answered truthfully, and he scooted a little bit closer to her on the bench.
She smiled softly and Teddy couldn't for his life tell what it was that made him want to sit on this bench with her forever, and then a little longer.
She put a hand on his thigh, as though she didn't want him to come closer and, to be honest, Teddy didn't mind.
Maybe it was close enough, and maybe this wasn't even close to the end. Maybe it had only begun.
