Written for the Disney Song Challenge at HPFC forum. Doesn't really have anything to do with Audrey, but oh well. Warnings and the like in the first chapter. This is Cedric/Ron.
"Dance with me, Ron," Cedric Diggory had his arm stretched out toward Ron, waiting for him to grab it.
"No, Ced," Ron said laughing. "In case you didn't realize, I'm a horrible dancer."
Cedric sighed, before sitting down next to Ron on the rock. They just stared up at the sky for a few minutes before Cedric said, "The night's beautiful but sometimes I find myself longing for sunlight at times." At seeing Ron's incredulous look, Cedric shrugged and said, "You are much more suited for the night than I am. A third year Ravenclaw actually said to me today that at times you could seem like starlight and dreams." Cedric paused for a minute before continuing, "And then she started talking about how dangerous that could be, especially with Yanberg's in season. And don't even ask because I don't know."
Cedric narrowed his eyes at Ron, before grabbing Ron's hand and pulling him up, twirling him around, and putting Ron into a slow and graceful dip. Cedric loved Ron's face at that entire movement. Eyes wide open in surprise, mouth parted slightly. Ron was a breath of fresh air in Cedric's otherwise boring life and that made him fall in love with Ron all over again.
"You're in love with me!" Ron said breaking the spell.
And while inwardly Cedric was freaking, he thought of every romantic thing he could do. Leaning in even closer to Ron, he said, "As long as forever, love, as long as forever." And then just as Ron was moving forward to kiss him, Cedric woke up.
Of course he would wake up right before the best part. But he might as well have. It would be too hard, and too embarrassing, to look the Golden Trio in the face today, if it wasn't already. Besides Ron could hardly ever reciprocate his feelings. He was clearly in love with Granger. Or maybe Potter. Stupid, smart, pretty, interesting, female Granger and stupid, smart, pretty, athletic, female Potter. (Cedric wasn't usually like this but love was a jealous bitch and she usually made you one too.)
But Cedric couldn't help up it that when he saw Ron all alone in a corridor with his books and quills and parchments littered all around him, to help pick it up. (He was a Hufflepuff, what did you except?) And he also couldn't help it when he leaned and kiss Ron. But he had to admit, it was the best day of his life, when Ron kissed him back.
