"Will you dance with me?" Teddy asked Scorpius in the softest of tones, and if the music hadn't just changed, Scorpius wasn't sure if he'd have heard Teddy otherwise.
He tried not to look at Teddy with a confused look, but couldn't help himself. This was Teddy, and they were friends. Best -- or closest to it.
"It's just a dance, Scorpius, and I'll behave," Teddy said in a teasing tone. "If you want me to Polyjuice myself as James just for a dance--"
"Don't be stupid, Teddy," Scorpius said, scowling. "I know, we're friends. Friends dance."
"Exactly," Teddy said with a smile. "And this is what I want right now. I've missed you, our talks, our friendship. It's all fucked up, I know, but it's New Year's Eve, and I just want to dance with my closest friend."
Scorpius nodded and allowed Teddy to pull him into the dance floor. The music was upbeat, and everyone around them were gaping at both Teddy and Scorpius. Scorpius rolled his eyes at how obvious some of the blokes were being--he wasn't much of a dance-club person because he didn't care about anonymous hook-ups and the desperation that reeked out of places like these. Teddy threw his head back and laughed at Scorpius's reaction, and Scorpius felt as though his heart had just lightened. He'd missed this. He'd missed joking around with Teddy, making a face just to make Teddy laugh.
Teddy wrapped his arms around Scorpius's neck and pulled him closer. His move was possessive, but not overtly sexual. There was quite a bit of distance between their bodies, and only their faces were close together. Teddy moved with the beat, taking Scorpius along with him.
"So, you think I'm sexy?" Scorpius said, his tone light and amused. If it was just him and Teddy and they were just being so natural, he knew he could do this. He always enjoyed Teddy's company.
Teddy shook his head. "I knew the moment I'd blurted that out, it was going to come back and bite me in the arse."
Scorpius shrugged and then grinned up at Teddy. Even though they were nearly at the same height now, Teddy still felt taller than him and Scorpius couldn't deny how he felt protected. Teddy would always be there for him, making sure he was safe.
They stayed quiet for a while, moving to the music, while Scorpius took it all in. He took one step closer to Teddy and rested his head on his Teddy's shoulder.
"Yeah..." Teddy whispered into Scorpius's hair. "I think you're incredibly sexy."
Scorpius smiled into Teddy's shoulder. It was nice to hear that; it was better to know that the person saying the words was someone Scorpius could trust. He knew he didn't need to make any decisions tonight; he was safe with Teddy.
"You know I'll never do anything to harm our friendship," added Teddy, as if he was aware of what Scorpius had been thinking. "That comes first."
