Albus didn't expect himself to be having such a good time. Yes, it's his cousin's wedding, and he's really close with Rose, but weddings in general give him jitters. Especially this one; Rose is his age. Does that mean he should be getting married soon? He should at least get a boyfriend, right? He's still single. He didn't even have a plus one for the wedding.
Despite the fact that his romantic life is on his mind for the entire ceremony, he still manages to have a good time. He cries when Rose comes in, seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time, and he cries at their vows and seeing how much Rose and her now husband love each other.
At the reception, he scans the room, looking for someone that he could maybe flirt with. He might as well seize the moment.
At the open bar, he sees a guy leaning against it. He's tall and blond, and he's wearing a simple white button down shirt and dress pants. He looks cute. Albus goes over to him.
"I'm Albus," he says, when he approaches the guy. The guy looks at him, and Albus can see his blue eyes. They look nice, and the corner of the guy's lips is twitched up.
"I'm Scorpius," he replies, and Albus decides that he really likes his voice.
"Are you here for the bride or the groom?" he asks next. He doesn't think he's ever met Scorpius, which probably rules out him being friends with Rose, but he still never knows.
"Neither," Scorpius replies. The look on Albus' face must be pretty confused, because Scorpius lets out a laugh and quickly adds on, "My mom's company is catering, so I'm supposed to be 'helping out'." he says, making air quotes and rolling his eyes.
"That's cool," Albus says. He hasn't eaten any of the food yet, but he's sure it's great. He's silent for a moment, not sure what to say. They both stand there, looking at each other, as the band starts to play music.
"Would you like to dance?" Scorpius asks, offering out a hand to Albus. Albus glances around and doesn't see anyone else dancing. Still, it seems like a perfect opportunity. He could see this blossom into something more.
Albus takes Scorpius' hand and lets him lead him.
