Re: Theodore/Daphne/Open
Daphne had been about to bolt when he started to speak. That would have been the Slytherin thing to do - run away. But she was tired of being seen as a typical Slytherin. And so she stood there, ready to take whatever he was about to say. Even if he told her that he didn't feel the same. Even if she was left feeling stupid and embarrassed.
She wasn't surprised when he blushed. People tended to do that when embarrassed or put on the spot. She was, however, surprised when he smiled and stopped moving to the music. Her hazel eyes widened slightly as he tugged her hand down. She started to say his name, to apologize for what she had done but that was quickly pushed to the side when he leaned towards her.
At first it didn't compute. What was going on? Was he..? Theo was kissing her. He wasn't angry with her or embarrassed. He wasn't laughing at her or sneering at her for making a fool of herself. He was...kissing her. Once the realization of what was happening sank in, her eyes fluttered shut, her body relaxing as she leaned up into the kiss.
