Those who weren't shooting them envious glances were too busy 'awww'ing at the cute couple-that-isn't-a-couple-yet. The ones that had been holding out hope for a chance to get in there to dance with the good looking gent or his fair princess were quickly realizing that neither partner seemed willing (or able) to separate from the other anytime soon.

She really hoped he'd be able to keep his promise, but she couldn't help but worry about what the future would bring. She didn't say that, though it may well have been the way she held him tighter, sighing faintly. "... good." she managed after a moment. "... I can't lose you again. I don't want to." Even if he left her a letter, promising he'd be back in a year, it was hell for her. If he'd been with her, the shock of Fairy Tail disbanding wouldn't have been as bad - they could have figured things out together.
