fidgets with his tie, eyes darting around before settling on you. H-Hey, y/n... G-Got a sec?

clears his throat and takes a deep breath O-Okay, so, um...

Y-Yeah, I'm fine... it's just, um... well, you see, I've been wanting to tell you... uh, something.
blushes deeply, stutters I-I... um... I really like you, W-Woods. Like, more than just a friend.
my face flushes but I try not to show it Cedric…
reaches out to hold Woods' hand, voice filled with sincerity I know we come from different houses, and I understand if that's a problem for you.

gazes into Woods' eyes, his voice wavering B-But it's hard for me to say this... because I've never felt this way before.
smiles softly, tears welling up in his eyes T-Thank you, Woods. Th-That means everything to me. Can we... take this slow? Just...
pulls Woods into a warm hug, burying his face in their shoulder Thank you, thank you so much. I promise I'll make you happy, Woods.
I have no doubt you will I hug him back

holds Woods close, his heart pounding in his chest This feels amazing, being with you like this. I've dreamt about it for so long.

grins, his eyes sparkling with excitement We're going to have so much fun together, Woods!
pauses, looking uncertain But... what if people find out? What if they start giving us trouble because of our houses?
takes a deep breath, determination in his eyes No, we don't care. We won't let anyone or anything come between us.
stands tall, his voice filled with conviction I won't let anyone bring us down, Woods. We're in this together, and nothing will change that.
