Summary: Yet another family wedding for Charlie, and again with no date. Luna has some kind words for him, however.
Author's Notes: Hope you enjoy!


Charlie brooded. It was something he wasn’t nearly as skilled at as some men, as he generally had no reason to brood. However, this was the second family wedding this year, the second one he had not brought at date to, and in between the important parts that seemed to be all he was ever going to hear about for the rest of his life.

And they wondered why he liked to stay in Romania so very much.

Percy was brooding much more successfully in a nearby corner, and Charlie considered joining him. It felt weird, but more and more often lately he commiserated with his younger brother. He pushed off the wall to head in that direction, but before he got two steps a small form in bright yellow robes appeared with an equally bright smile.

“Hi, Charlie,” Luna said. “Are you enjoying the wedding?”

The question caught him offguard. “Um. I guess so.”

She smiled at him. “A bit much, yeah?” She reached out a hand to him. “Come dance with me, then. This one’s slow.”

Charlie blinked, automatically take her hand. She took advantage of it and tugged him out onto the dance floor. “It is a bit much, yes.” That was rather an understatement. A slim hand came to rest on his neck, and he started the gentle sway of a slow dance.

“Don’t worry about it,” she told him. “Just enjoy right now.” Her head rested on his shoulder, and he found himself holding her closer.

That was, he thought, some good advice. He relaxed and brushed his lips, just barely, over the crown of her head as they continued to sway to the music.

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry! Somehow I missed this one! I love it -- they're so sweet together, and I'm a sucker for slow dancing and general slow burn of relationships! :)

Aw! I love stories like this, where when things seem bleak, someone will come along and suddenly there is warmth and hope and good things. And I feel like Luna is someone who does this a lot for people, probably without even realizing it most times! A very sweet little story, indeed.
