You watched the couple in the middle of the room slow dance, a small smile on your face. Nothing made you happier than watching two people who were so in love with each other. You didn't know the couple personally, but your friend had asked you to be his plus one and you obviously weren't going to say no.

The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful – more beautiful than any other wedding you'd been to in your opinion – and the venue's courtyard where the reception was looked incredible too. The fairy lights wrapped around the poles used to distinguish the dance floor from everything else had been on the whole time, but now that the sun was starting to set, they were shining more prominently.

As you were watching the couple, you were sitting at one of the tables closest to the dance floor. You were swaying slightly to the music, but you stopped when you heard a throat clear beside you. You looked over to find your friend already looking at you.

"Thanks for being my date to this thing," Trevor told you, speaking lowly so no one around you heard the conversation.

"It was really no problem," you assured him with a small smile, "I love weddings."

"I know," he murmured, "I just didn't think you'd say yes..."

"Why wouldn't I?" you furrowed your eyebrows.

"I dunno..." he looked over at the couple dancing in the middle of the room, "Weddings can kinda be downers for single people sometimes..."

"Right," you nodded, "But you know I love weddings whether I'm single or not."

"I'm sure there are a lot better dates than me," he said, more to himself than to you.

You opened your mouth to speak, but you were distracted by movement out of the corner of your eye. You looked over to find people getting up and moving to the dance floor, realizing the couple's first dance was over and another slow song was starting.

You promptly stood up and held your hand down in front of Trevor. He looked up at you without doing anything at first, but once you smiled at him, he lifted his hand up and put it in yours. You pulled him up from his chair and brought him to the dance floor. You grabbed his other hand and wrapped them around your waist before wrapping your own around his neck, letting your forearms rest on his shoulder.

"You know, I think you're a pretty good date," you told him, the same small grin still on your face, "Everyone else I've ever gone to a wedding with has refused to dance with me."

"Come on," he rolled his eyes, "That can't be true."

"It is!" you insisted, "And it really sucks because the dancing is my favorite part!"

"What's your favorite song to dance to then?" he asked, seemingly trying to maintain conversation. You let out a breath as you thought for a moment.

"Well, I've never actually danced to it, but I've always thought All Time Low's A Daydream Away would be nice to slow dance to," you shrugged.

"Aren't you playing that when I come over sometimes?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," you giggled softly, "I listen to it a lot."

"You know, you could just ask me," he pouted, "You don't have to turn it off when I'm there." He smiled at you when you laughed again.

"I'll remember that for next time," you replied.

After dancing to a couple songs, you and Trevor decided to take a break. You got a drink from the refreshment table and sat down in the spot you'd been in before while Trevor trotted off somewhere else. You didn't know where he'd gone as he hadn't told you, but you caught sight of him a couple minutes after he'd left your side. He was talking to the DJ and they both gave each other a quick hug, so you figured he was just visiting a friend.

But as Trevor walked away from the DJ and made his way back to you, you could hear the beginning of A Daydream Away start playing from the speakers. Once he stopped in front of you, he held his hand out with a cheesy grin. You couldn't help but smile as well, taking his hand and letting him pull you up and to the dance floor, exactly like you'd done with him. This time, however – after he wrapped your arms around his neck – he held your waist a little tighter.

"I'm retracting my statement about you being a 'pretty good date'," you informed him as the first verse was being sung. Trevor furrowed his eyebrows, but didn't get a chance to ask what you meant. "You're easily the best date I've ever had," you said, "Are you free for the next wedding I'm invited to?" He chuckled softly.

"I'll let you know," Trevor told you, pressing a kiss to your temple before you laid you head on his shoulder.
