You knew getting into a relationship with THE Tom Riddle would be different. it would never be boring, it would probably be unromantic from the outside at times, but you were a firm believer you don't get to choose who you fall in love with.

Breaking down Tom's walls took forever, you would wait forever for him though. He was it, for you. He was worth it.

As you laid in the bed that you now share, as a married couple, you thought back to the time you finally broke down the wall with Tom and he knew he was in forever and you were all he wanted.

You walked into his solo dorm, slamming the door way to a aggressively, even for how upset you were there was no need for that much aggression. Tom's head snapped up from his reading to see you standing there. You for the most part held yourself together around him. Tom was emotionless. He cared, he did, he showed it in different ways, just not in emotions. So you always tried to keep yours at bay. You couldn't though today, not after failing a test you had been studying relentlessly for, for days.

Tom hesitantly stood up, not sure really what to do, if you wanted to be touched and held or if he should leave and let you be alone in his dorm. As he walked towards you he saw the exhaustion in your eyes. It broke him. He felt something. This desire to hold you and never let you go. To wipe every tear and rain hellfire on anyone who caused them.

He gently grabbed you and pulled you in, head on his chest, arms around his waist. He held you tightly as you cried silently into his chest. you felt embarrassed for crying so hard but you never wanted to leave his embrace. You two stayed in that position for a while until you felt him move away. You frowned slightly, sad that the moment was gone but trying to appreciate that it happened. You had never seen emotion like this in Tom. He cared enough for you to set aside his discomfort and be there for you.

You looked at him confused as he grabbed his wand and turned on quiet slow music. Walking over to you he grabbed you once again and began to sway with you gently.

" Are we slow dancing" you whispered. You almost regretted saying anything not wanting to burst the bubble you were in with him in that moment.

" You always are trying to get me to do this type of stuff and if it makes you stop crying and feel ok even for just a few moments i'm willing to do it for you"

You were awakened from your daydream as you heard the front door shut and foot steps heading towards the bedroom. Tom walked in and smiled at you. He fell onto the bed in one big movement making you giggle slightly as you set down the book that you haven't been reading, daydreaming instead.

He moved his body so he was wrapped around you, you could tell he was exhausted from the day. As his head laid in your lap and arms around your waist you played with your hair.

Neither of you saying anything, just enjoying each other's presence and being each other's calms.

He was it. He was absolutely 100% it for you. He was all you wanted.

You were all he wanted.
