Monster From Hell | Tom Riddle

fifty four

I woke up to the sun peaking through the blinds and reflecting onto my face. I was wrapped up in Tom's arms. He was surprisingly still sleeping. He was usually up before me.

I decided that I would get up and leave Tom to sleep. I quietly tried to move his arm from around my waist. I quietly started to get up. Then I felt a pair of arms strongly grasp my hips, pulling me back into the bed.

"You're not leaving." I heard Tom's voice whisper huskily into my ear.

"Tom, I can't lay in bed all day. I have stuff to do." I told him while trying to get up again. He pulled me down onto my chest and started to play with my hair.

"Stay." He ordered.

"Fine, I'll stay." I sighed.

"Good." He mumbled in a sleepy voice, "How did you sleep last night?"

"Good." I mumbled into his neck, placing a small kiss on one of his marks. His hands traveled up my back and to my hair where he gripped tighter.

I stayed in Tom's dorm for most of the day, I didn't go down to breakfast or lunch today. As much as I was hungry, I did not want to see Pansy.

"Come on, darling you have to eat!" Tom exclaimed, trying to pull me off the bed, "This isn't good for you!"

"I don't want to see Pansy!" I pulled myself back onto the bed. He looked at me sternly and pulled me back up on the ground, he grabbed my wrist and started pulling me towards the door.

"I don't care, you're coming whether you like it or not," He mumbled while taking me into the Slytherin common room. He dragged me down the hall and into the great hall where students sat at the tables. He sat me down at the very end of the table, far away from Pansy and Draco.

But where was Blaise?

"Princess, don't pay attention to them." Tom puts his hand over mine, "They're not worth it."

"I know," I shrugged my shoulders and turned my attention back to eating, "I just don't know where Blaise is."

"Please just eat," He demanded.

"Fine." I shook my head and started eating. Moments later someone plopped down next to me. I turned over to see Blaise.

"Hey Blaise, why aren't you sitting with Draco and Pansy?" I asked him as he started piling chicken onto his plate.

"I'm with you." He nods.

"What exactly to you mean by that?" Tom asked.

"I'm not friends with Pansy or Draco anymore." He explained, "I know what they did to you. Draco's an ass for saying it was "your fault" and Pansy's a bitch for agreeing with him. He was the one that kissed you, you weren't the one kissing him back." He explained.

"I agree with Blaise." Tom nods his head.

"Well, wasn't Draco your best friend?" I asked him, "I didn't mean to break your friendship with him?"

"No, you didn't. I did." He gave me a small smile, I smiled back at him.

Once we finished dinner Tom and I headed back up to his dorm. Tom sat in a desk, while I sat on the bed reading one of his many books. Tom was playing music quietly on a small old radio.

I kept my eyes focused on the pages of parchment, reading word for word as I listened to the soft music in the background.

All of the sudden someone took the book out of my hand, it was Tom. He was hovering over me with the book in his hands, he placed it down on the table. He grabbed my hand pulling me onto the floor. I lazily sat back down on the bed, Tom just looked at me with a neutral expression. He pulled me back up again.

"What?" I chuckled.

"Dance." He replied plainly as he placed a hand on my waist. I rested my head at the top of his shoulder as he started to lightly sway me around the room.

Both of us were silent as the music dimly came though the radio. Tom's hand stayed glued to my waist, carefully crawling up my back then to the back of my hand where he took a fistful of hair in his hands and tugged on it gently.

As we swayed around the room, I gently closed my eyes. I wrapped my arms around Tom tightly.

"I love you so much darling." He whispered to me as the song finished up.

"I love you too, Tom."
