Fell over Tom like a ton of bricks. It had felt different from the previous night. Much different. He'd wondered if she was still awake, putting on her nightgown and complaining about having to wear the nightgown.
He hasn't changed into his pajamas, something in him told him to keep his sweater and pants on. He wasn't sure why.
He could hear Lucius and Avery still awake. He'd contemplated going to talk to them. But what had they done for him when he was confused? They were his servants at the end of the day.
So, there he stood, fully clad in his day clothes, pacing around the room, shoes on like he was going somewhere. Except he was. He was going to show y/n what he'd been begging to show her.
"Going somewhere?" Lucius asked as Tom walked quietly down the hallway. Tom stopped.
"I...um..."
"Just come through the library window when you sneak back in tomorrow...alright?" Lucius said. Tom nodded, quietly continuing his way down the steps, towards the library window. As gracefully as he could, he stepped through the open window, leaving it cracked just enough to not lock. As soon as his feet landed in the grass, he sprinted through the field of yellow flowers, his breathe in his ears as the only thing flashing in his mind was y/n. He was hoping she wasn't asleep yet.
The ground crunched and crumbled under his feet as the size of the ivory house grew larger and larger. He could practically hear her name in his head.
Y/n, y/n, y/n, y/n-
"Tom?" Y/n asked, as she opened the window that Tom stood in front of.
"Hello..."
"Why are you here I...Ana could see you..." y/n whispered.
"I know I'm sorry...please can I show you something?"
"Now?"
"Yes, now. Cmon."
"But I'm in my nightgown I can't just-"
"Now."
"...fine." Y/n muttered, grumbling complaints under her breath as she slid her shoes on. Her white nightgown draped off one shoulder as she struggled to jump from the window. Tom helped her down gently, as she sleepily trudged beside him for a few strides. Tom grabbed her waist, before apparating. Y/n felt dizzy, as she tried to regain her footing in front of a large, long, black mansion. Large spiked fences circled around the house, large marble statues stood in the yard, along with a large water fountain that flowed water in the center of the walkway.
