it's still in Theo's pov.
We sit in silence for a while looking at the different constellations. She starts to point out other constellations, like the Big Dipper which is right next to Cassiopeia. When I get more comfortable I start to point out the ones I know. For a while she'd contribute but with very short responses. Then she just went silent.
"Isn't that Polaris? Or the north-" I pause when her head falls onto my shoulder. I look down and see her fast asleep. I check my watch and see that we've been sitting here for hours. I'm used to staying up super long but I guess she's not. I take a moment to admire her now that she's unconscious. Her h/c hair is falling over her face so I gently brush it behind her ear. I sigh, knowing how disappointed father would be if he saw how soft I was.
For once I don't find her perfect-ness annoying. I find it admirable.
That could be a problem.
"Why so glum chum?" A cheery voice says, snapping me out of my trance. I look over to the voice and see y/n giving me a smile, a curios glint in her eyes. Her head rests on her hand, awaiting my answer. Her hair falls over her face and the glow of the candlelit grand hall illuminates her beauty.
Stop. I can't let myself fall for her. Someone like her doesn't deserve to be with a Riddle. She's way too good for me and I'd just end up breaking her, even if by accident.
She snaps her fingers in my face. I blink and stare at her cluelessly. She raises an eyebrow, expecting an answer. "Oh, I'm fine, just thinking about...stuff." Her curiousness grows.
"What kind of stuff?"
I shake my head, signaling I don't want to talk about it. She gets the signal. "Okay, well we can go work on our project, get your mind off of it. Whatever it may be." She suggests with a bright smile. I sigh heavily pushing my dinner away from me.
"I can't. I have schoolwork." I reply dryly. I'll just have to make sure I don't fall for her. And that means distancing myself and looking like and ass, that way I'm so unpleasant she won't want to be around me. Problem solved.
I quickly get up but not before looking at her confused face. She opens her mouth to ask a question but I walk away before she can ask it.
~later after Mattheo's done wallowing~
"Get up!" Y/n says barging into my dorm. I immediately sit up in bed, throwing the book I was reading with a start.
"Y/n? What the hell? No knock? No hello? What happened to your manners?" I joke, grabbing my book that fell on the floor.
"What happened to your manners? Barging out on me like that. Not too nice Mr. Riddle. But since I'm nice I'll forgive you." She crosses her arms looking at my guilty face. "Now get your lazy ass up, we still have work to do." She taps her foot impatiently, waiting for me to get up.
