i needed you

"That doesn't mean I want you to leave Devorah. Fuck... Just... come back."

[Trigger Warning]
{mentions of rape}

Devorah bathed herself as she waited for Mattheo to come back and when he did his knuckles were bruised and he had blood running down his nose along with some splattered all over his clothes.

"Theo?" Devorah called out from the bathroom, "Yeah." Mattheo breathed as he stepped into the bathroom, "Who's blood is that?" "Pucey's. I just beat the shit out of him."

"Oh, well you're bleeding as well... Sit." Mattheo did what was asked of him and sat down in front of the tub as Devorah took a rag and began to clean the blood off of him while he just stared at her.

Once she was done she placed the rag to the side and gave him a weak smile.

"You should change your clothes. Could I get some as well?" Mattheo only nodded before handing her a towel and walking into his room. Devorah stood from the tub wrapping herself in the towel and letting the water out before stepping into the room.

Mattheo was already changed as he handed some sweats and a shirt and a pair of his boxers to Devorah before stepping into the bathroom to give her some privacy.

She pulled the clothes on which were a bit baggy on her but she liked how they fit on her, and how they smelled like him. "Can I-"

"You're staying here tonight. Get in the bed Devorah." Mattheo called out from the bathroom and that's exactly what she did. She stared blankly at the ceiling as she waited for Mattheo to come out of the bathroom.

Once he did, Devorah's eyes watched him as he switched off the lights and crawled into bed. "Could you um- could you hold me?"

Without a word Mattheo pulled Devorah into his embrace and nuzzling into his embrace Devorah felt safe. She fell asleep quickly as Mattheo played with her hair.

MATTHEO RIDDLE

Beating the shit out of Pucey was fun, I could literally feel the rage pouring out of my fist as they collided with his face.

And the look on his face when I stormed into his room was priceless. When I was walking back I saw all of her so-called friends coming out of Draco's room.

I was gonna beat the shit out of him but I had left Devorah alone for too long. Having her here in my bed with me feels weird.

And when she asked me to hold her I didn't have it in me to say no. I've never seen her look at me the way she did before, she was completely broken.
