Faye lay down, sweaty, next to Cedric, a mile wide smile on her face as she kissed him breathlessly.
"I love you," she whispered, resting her head on his chest.
Cedric pulled her tighter to him, resting his cheek on her head, "I love you too," he whispered in reply, stroking her damp hair softly.
"Are you sure we did the right thing?" she whispered, her voice almost inaudible.
"Yeah, pretty sure," he whispered, "I wouldn't care if we did it wrong though, because it was wonderful." Faye smiled and closed her eyes sleepily.
"Faye...Faye, wake up," Cedric mumbled in her ear about an hour later.
She rolled over and looked up at him, smiling. "Hey," she sighed, "Why do I need to wake up?" she asked, yawning and running a hand through her messy hair, messing it up even more if possible.
Cedric though for a moment. "Good point," he said, smiling. She leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips.
Cedric responded by growling and practically pouncing her, rolling on top of her and kissing her passionately, his tongue darting in between her lips.
She felt his erection pressed against her thigh and moaned into his mouth softly.
Cedric rolled her over to the other side of the bed, still on top of her as his hand blindly searched for the dresser drawer, his breaths coming out in pants as she slowly moved her lips down to his neck.
He pulled out another condom and hurriedly slid it on, kissing her fiercely as he fulfilled her every desire once more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, now, I really have to go," Faye mumbled, kissing Cedric's lips softly.
Cedric sighed, his hand stroking her bare stomach; "If you must..." he said sighing. Faye smiled and got up, walking over to her clothes and slipping them on.
She walked back over to the bed and kissed him passionately. "I love you," she whispered against his lips.
"Thank you for a wonderful night," he whispered, placing his hand on the back of her head and gazing deep into his eyes before kissing her again.
"No, thank you," she mumbled. "And, happy Valentines Day." She smiled and left the room, walking into her own dorm and slipping her pajamas on before falling back on the bed and falling asleep instantly.

4 months later
"Come here you," Cedric growled, pulling Faye upstairs.
She giggled and slid into his arms. "Mr. Diggory, where are you taking me?" she asked, pressing herself closer to him.
"We have some unfinished business to attend before I have to go for the third task," Cedric told her, his voice husky as he kissed her jaw.
She moaned and jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist. Their lips met in heated passion as he walked backward into his dorm.
Over the past 4 months they had taken the time to get to know each other better than they thought possible, spending every waking moment together.
She had helped him with the third task so there was no way that he couldn't win. On the outside, she showed every confidence in him, but inside she couldn't be more terrified.
She giggled as Cedric fell back on the bed and she crawled over to his drawer, taking a condom out before pouncing on Cedric, kissing him wildly before preparing him for another wild ride.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't go," she mumbled, her tears spilling from her eyes and onto his bare chest. "Please don't go."
Cedric kissed her head. "I have to, love...I'll be fine, I promise."
"And when I get back..." he whispered, gazing down at her, his eyes boring into her soul. She grinned despite how she felt and kissed him softly, "Hey, are you alright? You look sorta pale baby? Come to think about it…you have for a while now, is something wrong?"
"No Cedric, I'm fine, it must be the lighting," Faye said, getting up and walking to her clothes.
"Ok, as long as you're sure," Cedric told her.
They got dressed and went down to the common room. He had to leave so she settled into a chair beside the fire. Ten minutes later, Hailey came down and sat beside her. "Hey, how you doing?" she asked.
"Ok I guess...I just wish he didn't have to go," she said, frowning.
Hailey looked at her, concern etched on her face. "You don't look so well Faye...are you alright?" she asked.
She sighed. "No," she mumbled. "I'm not...ever since Valentine's Day I've been getting worse. Cedric just asked me if I was alright…I lied to him."
"Do you think it has something to do with...?" Hailey said, trailing her voice off.
"I don't think so, but there's this nagging sense at the back of my mind that thinks maybe that's why..." Faye said quietly.
She swallowed before continuing. "After Cedric and I...make love, I start to shiver...like I get freezing cold and sometimes it feels like I'm going to die...and I spoke to Madame Pomfrey and my T-cells are low...I'm so scared."
"Oh my god, why didn't you tell Cedric this? From what you told me, he already suspects something Faye!" Hailey said, sitting down next to Faye immediately.
Faye closed her eyes and shook her head. "No...I'm so afraid he'll leave me if he knows what is happening," she mumbled, feeling tears flood her eyes.
"Oh honey," Hailey said soothingly, "Does it happen after every time?"
Faye nodded. "Usually right after...and I try to conceal it until Cedric falls asleep...I hate lying to him, I hate it," she sobbed, letting her tears break free.
"What I don't get is why does it happen?" Hailey asked, her hand on Faye's, trying to get her to calm down so she could talk.
"My T-cells are low," she said, trying to calm herself down. "The virus is taking over and there's nothing I can do to stop it."
"But don't you use protection?" Hailey asked.
"Of course we do!" Faye said, her sobbing increasing.
"Then why is it only you two have sex that you get these shivers and stuff?" Hailey persisted.
"I don't know!" Faye exclaimed, sliding off the chair and onto the floor. "I don't think the protection is working...and if it isn't...that means he has it too."
"I'm sure it works hun...maybe it's just the physical activity that's doing this, maybe you're overexerting yourself...lord knows you do it at least 3 times a day, lucky bitch," Hailey said, smirking.
Faye laughed and wiped her eyes. "Thanks, Lee," she mumbled, hugging her friend tightly.
"No problem, honey, that's why I'm here...now let's go to the task, it should be starting soon." Hailey said.
Faye smiled and stood up and followed Hailey out of the dormitory. They made their way quickly to the stadium and sat down, getting 2nd row seats.
Faye craned her neck to see Cedric, gazing at her. She felt tears blur her eyes as she mouthed, "I love you."
She saw him talk to Dumbledore before running up into the stands and into her arms, "I love you too," he sighed, hugging her tightly.
She held on to him. "I'm not letting go," she whispered.
"It's alright baby...I will be perfectly fine," he whispered, smoothing out her hair as Dumbledore called him back down, "Cheer extra loud for me okay?"
She nodded, kissing him softly before he left.
She stumbled back to her seat, taking a deep breath to stop the tears from flowing. The canon rang out through the air and Cedric entered the maze, looking back at her at the last moment and blowing a kiss.
