Written for the Game of Life Challenge - Ron/Cedric, balcony and spices.
It was the evening of the Yule Ball and Ron couldn't be more pissed. First, Hermione got a date with his one and only idol Viktor Krum, and Cedric was looking all lovey-dovey with that blasted girl Cho Chang! Ron could feel his blood boiling as he clutched the railings of the balcony hard, his knuckles turning white with the intense pressure. Cedric promised... He promised that it was all for show because he wasn't ready to admit that he was gay, then why would he see him dancing with their bodies pressed close, and their lips almost brushing? Ron closed his eyes to relieve the anger that was building up inside him.
Suddenly, the air smelled thickly of musked and various wonderful-smelling spices. Ron knew that smell straight away, having been smelled it during Potions class the other day when they discussed about Amortentia. I could only be one person, and that one person is Cedric. Ron felt his fingers loosen on the railings, the color coming back to his knuckles. "What are you doing here?" he said against gritted teeth without even turning to face his secretive lover.
Ron soon felt hands wrap around his torso, and a lean chest pressing on his back. He immediately felt the anger evaporate from him as Cedric hugged him from behind. "You know it was all for show, love." he affectionately purred on his ear. "I would never do that to you, ever. You know you're the only one I want..." Cedric nuzzle his face on the crook of his neck.
Ron sighed lowly and nodded. "I'm sorry, I-" he ran a hand frustratingly through his hair. "You know me, I have a jealousy problem."
"I think you being jealous is cute." Cedric chuckled and pressed a small peck to his neck.
Ron shifted his body around to face his lover, smiling lopsidedly. "You're mental."
