TOM RIDDLE-
Watching her feel vulnerable because of her scars felt like knives in the stomach. They were only there because of me.
But nothing could sway the love I felt for her.
Nothing.
And for her not to realize that hurt even more.
Yet as she removed her clothes my eyes fell to two specific scars, cause I recognized them all too well.
On her lower back laid a thin scar identical to mine, from the only time I'd been hit by a cruciatis curse since leaving her.
Then my eyes traveled to her shoulder. Her most recent injury, yet the small y-shaped scar matched identically to the one on my shoulder that appeared after that night I went to save her.
Our connection had grown in absence of each other.
We were literally taking the others pain.
I remember that night I was hit with the curse.
It felt as though I hadn't been touched at all. No pain. But when she was hit, somehow I felt all of her pain.
Or was she in any pain at all? Had I taken it from her?
I then looked over at Mattheo's scarless shoulder.
Why didn't he feel it?
Was this connection only between me and her?
Wait.
I knew it.

MATTHEO RIDDLE-
I knew it.
I felt a small wave of disappointment fall over me as my eyes fell to her lower back and scanned the thin scar identical to the one I had helped Tom heal.
And he was the one who felt her pain the other night.
I could feel she was in trouble, but he literally felt her pain.
I guess I always knew it wasn't about me.
My eyes traveled down her side profile as she cuddled her head into Tom.
I'm not the one.
But I will protect her just the same.
Till my final breath I will protect her.

Y/N BLACK-
I cuddled my head into Tom.
The deafening silence was comforting while safe in their arms.
After staying at the Burrow for the last month, silence amognst other things, was something I missed.
I felt Tom's heart began to race. And the look in his eye glisten as though he'd finally pieced together a puzzle he'd waited ages to finish.
And I fear that I know what it is.
I feel like I've known for a long time.
And just.... Denied it.
My mind began to race.
Would this change things?
Had Theo realized?
Did this mean I would finally have to choose?
I don't want to choose.
Was the decision already made for me?
How did Theo play into this mess if it's not him?
