To Chaperone a Dance
Derpy-Giraffe over on AO3 requested Cullen and Mara breaking away from a school dance for their first kiss, and I said that if in the Class Act universe that was not the way things actually went down I would write this, because it just sounded too fun to pass up! So here, have a very silly, trope-y and fluffy AU of the AU.
Also on AO3.
In Cullen’s opinion there were few things worse than chaperoning a dance. At least it was Homecoming, which meant that instead of being trapped inside a hot sweaty school gym they were outside.
He had to give the student council credit for turning the school courtyard into something actually resembling a dance. Twinkle lights were draped overhead, like hundreds of fireflies against the dark sky. There weren’t stars, the sky was cloudy, but the moon found its way through the breaks every so often. There was a slight breeze blowing from the nearby canyon, and the kids danced the night away in a patchwork of color.
Chaperoning wasn’t a difficult job, but it was a bit of a boring one. This year he had been given the added job of keeping an eye on the refreshment table as well, and if anything looked low, refilling it.
The only good thing about the whole evening was the blonde elf standing just a few paces away. Cullen suspected that Dorian had asked them both to be chaperones in a well-meaning attempt to get them spending more time together, and Cullen couldn’t seem to mind.
