Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

thirty five 🗝

TOM POV

The feeling I've never felt came. It felt almost weird to feel this way towards a person. Considering that my filthy father was under a love potion, that's what caused it all.

This is why I spent most of my time alone, either in my dorm or the astronomy tower. I liked to be alone, being in no one else's business, or them being in mine.

But to me, Victoria was different. There was something about her that made her stand out from the rest. She was a reoccurring memory in my mind.

I opened my eyes slowly, the room was dark like it was last night, but the sun peaked through the blinds, lighting up the room dimly. Next to me was a sleeping Victoria. She wore one of my tee shirts that I gave her last night and a pair of my sweatpants with her hair tied up in a messy bun. She was curled up into a ball, shivering and shaking.

It took me a moment to realize that I have taken all of the covers from her. Quietly, I put some covers over her chilled body, trying not to wake her. He eyes slowly opened. She looked up at me and smiled tiredly.

"What time is it?" She asked me.

"Uh," I thought, "I don't know, honestly." I responded, "But the sun it out, so it must be morning."

"Good morning then," She smiled.

"Good morning to you," I smirked. She crawled over to me and sat on my lap, facing me. She rested her head on my shoulder while rubbing my bare back. I placed my head on top of hers.

She gave me a small kiss on my bare shoulder before burying her head into my neck. I slowly took her hair out of her bun and started to comb through it with my fingers.

"Are you feeling okay today?" I asked her while cupping her jaw in my hand and turning her to face towards me.

"Mhm," She nodded and placed a small kiss on my neck, "My hips hurt a little bit today."

"Do they?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Yeah," She nodded.

Slowly, I grabbed her hips and started rubbing the sides in circular motions. She started to run her fingers through my hair, messing it up slightly.

"Trying to mess my hair up I see," I looked at her and smirked, "We'll see about that." I beamed down towards her neck and started to suck her skin lightly, leaving a small mark on her neck. Small moans escaped her lips as I kissed some of the marks that I have left last night.

Then she started to kiss my neck slowly, sucking at the skin.

"Copy cat," I giggled, she giggled on my neck.

I looked down to where she kissed to see that she had left the same mark on my neck. She ran her hands up and down my arms.

"Did you sleep well?" She asked me.

"The question is did you?" I asked with a small smirk appearing on my face.

"Yes," She nodded, "Did you?" She asked.

"No, bot really," I told her, "Sometimes I can't sleep at night. Theres so many things rushing on my mind."

"Hm," She mumbled on my neck.

We were both silent for the next few minutes. I kept massaging her hips like I did before. She placed small kisses on my neck and ran her fingers through my hair. This time I let her.

I shouldn't admit it, but I low key liked it when she ran her fingers through my hair. It calmed me down about everything that was going on around me. It was almost like someone telling me it would all be okay.
