Teddy/Victoire

Prompt: First Kiss

First Kiss

December 25, 2014

She sat by the Christmas tree with her legs crossed as she scrawled away feverishly at a letter to Rachel. He had just looked at her! In fact, he had looked at her twelve times that night... not that she was counting...

Her heart was pounding in her chest. Victoire didn't think he even noticed her. She certainly noticed him, especially the way his eyes would crinkle when he smiled, or the way his hair sporadically changed colour and length depending on his mood. If she spared him a glance at that instant, she would see that adorable, goofy smile plastered on his face, and his hair glowing a bright pink. She wished she knew what it meant.

Some of her honey blonde hair fell into her eyes and she brushed it aside impatiently as she scanned over her letter. She pursed her lips as she noticed the alarming number of spelling mistakes and missed words; her hand couldn't keep up with her excited brain.

"Hey, Vic."

It took all of her strength not to jump out of her skin as he suddenly appeared beside her. Composing herself, she turned towards him and smiled.

"Hi, Teddy."

"Do you want to go outside?" he offered.

Victoire felt her face grow hot and nodded. "Sure," she replied, hoping that the cold air would calm her nerves.

The two of walked outside and sat down on the porch. Victoire was acutely aware of his body beside her. They sat in silence and she struggled with herself whether to reach for his hand. Teddy shifted uncomfortably next to her.

"Uh," he began, running his hands through his hair the way she liked. "Vic, we've, erm, known each other a while and... erm... I sorta..."

He was stuttering madly, a habit he succumbed to when he was nervous. Victoire gazed at him patiently, waiting for him to finish. But he never did. Instead, he quickly closed the distance between them and kissed her, taking her completely by surprise. So much so, that she almost didn't believe it was happening, and merely stood, rooted to the spot. Suddenly, he pulled away, and Victoire missed the feel of his lips against hers. Her chest was heaving and her heart hammered away at her ribcage that she thought it would burst out. Teddy closed his eyes, waiting for Merlin knew what, so she took this opportunity to grip each side of his face and crash her lips to his.

It was the most extraordinary feeling in the world. Victoire had never felt so alive in her life. Even though she had kissed Jarrod, it was nothing like kissing Teddy. She felt as though it was her very first kiss, full of the same nerves but fuelled by a deeper passion that she had never experienced with Jarrod. Everything seemed to fall into place, stars aligned and she felt more alive than ever before.

They both pulled back and she stared into his beautiful gold eyes.

"Merry Christmas, Teddy," she whispered with a smile, feeling her cheeks blush. It was the best Christmas she had ever had.

A/N: Since I had already written Teddy and Victoire's first kiss in Tell Me Harry, I decided to write the scene in Victoire's point of view for this challenge. Please read and review :) xx
