while everyone was still busy shopping I decided to go to a nearby book shop to see what book I could find about the riddle family.

"Hello y/n it seems like you're here for a dark arts book am I correct?"  I heard Mrs. Clearwater say as she knows I come here often and usually get those types of books.

"Unfortunately no Mrs. Clearwater I'm actually wondering if I could find a book about the riddle or grunt family," I asked as she suddenly raised a brow in suprise.

"Oh the riddles, let me see if I have anything dear," she said going into the back of the library as I nodded, I knew it would take her some time to find it, after all, she was old so I decided to wander around a bit deeper into the library, I walked around for a bit until I came upon a book that caught my eye it was about the grave family as I was about to open it I saw mattheo coming toward the shop, oh shit I thought.

"y/n I found the book you need about th- I quickly grabbed the book out of her hand before she could answer.

"thank you, Mrs. Clearwater I said turning around only to see mattheo already looking at me I turned the book upside down so he wouldn't know what it was about.

"what are you doing here," I asked.

"decided to look for a book," he said.

"you reading for once, that I am surprised about," I said smirking.

"shut up and let's go," he said rolling his eyes.

"Whatever," I said following him out.

After the whole book store thing, y/n and mattheo both just argued their way home and as for everyone else they were all busy at the shops not noticing that y/n and mattheo had left, currently, they were both drinking and smoking in Mattheo's room.

"You're not as bad as I thought," y/n said as she inhaled the smoke from her cigarette.

"Seems like you're starting to enjoy my company y/n" mattheo stated a small grin spreading on his face making the girl in fort of him scoff at his remark.

"Don't flatter yourself this is only a one-time thing" y/n said picking up the fire whiskey and drinking it straight out of the bottle to which the boy just shook his head still grinning.

Within a few minutes, y/n was completely drunk unable to even stand properly.

"Your hair is so fluffy and soft did you know that," y/n said giggling while touching his hair.

"y/n you should sit down before you fall," mattheo said ignoring what she had said.

"finnnne" y/n said as she sat down next to him, Mattheo, on the other hand, was trying his best to contain his laughter of course he had seen y/n get drunk many times but not this drunk to him the whole thing was far too amusing.

"Why do you sooo many scars all over youuu" y/n said drunkenly as she touched a few on his arms, he then grabbed her hand preventing her from touching any more of his scars.

"We're not talking about this, so don't you dare ask about them again," he said as the smile disappeared from his face replaced with a glare.

"Calmm downnn, ooooh look I have some as well" y/n suddenly said pulling her sleeves down revealing huge cuts and scars, some that looked like they were there for ages and some that looked freshly new of course no one ever saw any of this, y/n would always cover it with Magic so no one would know, the sight made Mattheo's eyes widen in surprise he had never seen cuts on y/n before the whole thing was just shocking to him he grabbed y/n's arm not too hard and started looking at her scars honestly to him they were worse than the ones he had.
