Please, Not Again... | Mattheo Riddle

The Aftermath

After I was fully dressed ( In a more modest outfit, because of my previous actions ) I strolled down to the Great Hall hoping for some lunch.

"Rise and Shine" Pansy jeered as I sat down with my friends.

"Ha-ha, very funny" I sarcastically retorted.

"Um, Y/N, could I talk to you?" Blaise asked.

"Mhm, what's up?" I asked.

"Uh, in private maybe?" He clarified.

"Oh, yes of course" I chuckled.

We simultaneously arose from our seats and set out to the hallway.

"Y/N?"

"Yes Blaise?" I inquired.

"Um, how do I say this? Last night I heard you went out with Enzo and I went ballistic... I think I love you Y/N-"

"Hold up... you love me?" I asked, very shocked.

"Yeah" He answered.

"Weren't you with that Hufflepuff last night?" I asked.

"Uh, yes, Susan Bo- That's not the point! I love you Y/N!"

"Are you sure?" I was so confused.

"Yes!" He replied.

"Okay" I squeaked.

I've no idea how to respond to that... I mean I guess I could tell him I loved him, but I don't.

I simply walked back to the Slytherin table, I believe he called my name a few times as I was on my way out. I didn't answer though, I was completely fazed by what he'd just expressed to me, until I saw him...

Theo.

I guess he'd arrived during my escapade with with Blaise.

"Hi" I smiled.

He ignored me and continued his conversing with Draco.

I just stared at him longingly, waiting for some recognition. I wouldn't even mind if he screamed at me, as long as it was at me.

"Theo?" I asked once more.

"Yes?" He smiled at me this time.

"Uhm, do you mind if we spoke in private for a moment?"

"Well I'm actually re-" He was cut off by me.

"Please?"

"Yes, of course" He obliged.

We made our way to the hallway and I started rambling on.

"If this is about last night, it's okay, you were drunk... it happens to the best of us sometimes." I could tell he was hurt, and didn't truly mean that.

"Yes but... Theo I- I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. I was out of my mind last night and didn't truly mean anything of what I said or did. I understand that it's not an excuse but I wanted to at least apologize. Do you think you could ever forgive me?" 

"You meant nothing?" He asked.

"Yes, nothing" I clarified.

"Not even the kiss?"

"Of course not" I lied, my tone softening as we gravitated towards one another.

"So we're still just friends right?" He spoke as his body was almost touching mine.

"What else would be be?" I asked, our lips now inches away.

And that's when our lips met, I craved the taste of him all over again. He rushed his tongue along my lip line and I granted him access.
