RODRICK ONE SHOTS/IMAGINES

Party (Chapter 19)

The Heffley house was buzzing with energy. Rodrick's parents were out for the evening, which meant the living room had transformed into a raucous party zone. Streamers hung from the ceiling, and a playlist of classic rock and punk was blasting from the speakers. Teens were scattered around, mingling, laughing, and dancing with reckless abandon.

You, Rodrick's girlfriend, had arrived a little early, helping him set up and get everything just right. Now, as the party hit its stride, you found yourself enjoying the lively atmosphere, soaking in the contagious excitement.

Rodrick, in his usual rock-star attire—black band tee, ripped jeans, and his signature messy hair—was strutting around like he owned the place. He had a casual confidence about him that was impossible to ignore. Every now and then, he'd catch your eye from across the room and flash you a mischievous grin.

You were chatting with a few friends when you felt a familiar hand slip around your waist. Looking up, you saw Rodrick standing next to you, his grin wide and playful.

"Hey there," he said, his voice low and just for you. "Having fun?"

"Definitely," you replied with a smile. "But I think it's about time we hit the dance floor."

Rodrick's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Oh, you mean it's time for me to show off my legendary moves?"

"Something like that," you teased, taking his hand. "Come on, rock star, let's see what you've got."

He led you through the crowd to the center of the room, where a few of your friends were already dancing. Rodrick, with his usual flair, started busting out some exaggerated, almost comical dance moves. His attempts at moonwalking were more like stumbling, but that only made it more entertaining.

You laughed, joining him in the dance. Your movements were more fluid and graceful, a perfect counterbalance to Rodrick's exaggerated antics. You twirled and spun with him, your laughter mixing with the music and creating a perfect harmony of fun.

As the night wore on, the party became a blur of dancing, music, and shared glances. Rodrick was in his element, but every once in a while, he would pull you close and give you a quick, affectionate kiss. It was his way of letting you know just how much he appreciated having you by his side.

Eventually, the two of you found a quieter corner of the house, away from the noise. You flopped onto a couch, and Rodrick sat down next to you, throwing an arm around your shoulders.

"Having a good time?" he asked, looking at you with a genuine, relaxed smile.

"Absolutely," you said, leaning into him. "Tonight's been great."

Rodrick's gaze softened. "Yeah, it has. I'm glad you're here."

You looked up at him, feeling a warm rush of affection. "Me too. Thanks for making it awesome."

Rodrick gave you a playful nudge. "Well, it wouldn't be the same without you. And besides, you've got to stick around to see my encore performance."

You laughed, resting your head on his shoulder. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

As the party continued around you, you and Rodrick enjoyed a peaceful moment together, knowing that no matter how wild the night got, you had each other to make it all the more memorable.
