It's awkward, and there's definitely going to be more later, but Cedric approves of this start. He kisses Howard just as gently, knowing that the time to hold and curl up will come later. They're really together now, really starting. Just a few hours ago he'd thought this was impossible. And now...

When he pulls back, he's sporting a faint grin and a blush, hoping he doesn't look quite as silly as he feels. "Good night, Howard. Half hour before dawn!"
