I stared at my ceiling, not being able to fall asleep. I look over to my left and see Dean and Pansy passed out in her bed. I sit up and look at Mattheo's blanket that I still had laying at the edge of my bed. I quietly get out my bed and wrap the blanket around myself while I walk out to the common room. To my surprise I see Mattheo sitting on the couch with the fire going, "Do you ever sleep?" I ask him, slowly walking over to him. He takes his headphones off and looks up at me standing next to him. "I'm never gonna get that back am I?" He teases, setting his book down to the side. I smile and shake my head, taking a seat next to him. "Why are you awake?" He ask me, "I can't sleep.... Plus it's bothering me that Pansy and Dean are all cuddled up in each others arms." I admit to him, laying my head back against the back of the couch. "Why are you up?" I ask him, looking away from the fire and to him. His eyes were already glued to me. "Theodore snores a lot, kept me awake." He tells me, huge smirk on his face. "He sounds like he's chopping wood down." I chuckle. Silence falling over the two of us while we stare at the fire, "I have to ask...." I tell him, bringing my knees to my chest. "Is everything okay? You seemed really off at dinner." I ask him, he keeps his eyes straight and just spins his wand in his hand, it seemed like he wanted to tell me something but couldn't get himself too. "Im fine, always fine." He tells me, laying his head back on the couch as he stares at the ceiling. "You know you can talk to me, right? I care about you. I just want to make sure your okay." I tell him, reaching out and putting my hand on his forearm. He lifts his head up to look at my hand on his arm. "I've missed your touch." He admits to me, his eyes meeting mine again. I give him a small smile and grab his hand, interlocking our fingers together. My cheeks got bright red while I stared at our hands. "I've missed spending time with you..." I admit to him, not being able to look him in the eyes. "One of the few moments I can actually get you alone." Mattheo tells me, squeezing my hand to make me look up at him. "Theodore isn't the biggest fan of me being around you." He teases, a little smile on his face. I playfully roll my eyes. "He's protective, he's always been that way." I tell Mattheo and he just scoffs. "He's in-love with you Black. He's been for a long time now...." Mattheo tells me, turning his attention back to the fire. "I know...." I say softly, just staring down at our hands together. His thumb was rubbing small circles on my hand, "Do you remember anything from the party the other night?" Mattheo ask me, still keeping his gaze straight ahead at the fire. "A little bit why?" I ask him. "Theodore was in a really bad mood the day of the match, he eventually admitted to us that night after you two kissed he said he liked you...." Mattheo starts and then turns to look at me, he knew I knew what he was talking about. "I said I like you too Matty." I cut him off to say, he looks a bit taken back that I remembered. I sigh and look away from him, "I can still remember the look in Theodore's eyes, I broke his heart that night. But at this point I can't lie anymore, I want you." I admit, having no idea where I got this insane amount of courage from. "I want you too." He tells me, letting go of my hand and cupping my cheeks in his hand. "We have to learn to figure this out." Mattheo tells me, his eyes glued to my lips. "We'll figure it out eventually..." I whisper, softly pushing my lips against his. My hands wrapping around his neck as I pull him closer to me.

The two of us sat their yawning, "Come to bed with me, it's quiet in my room. Dean and Pansy don't snore." I tell him, grabbing the blanket and reaching out for his hand. He smiles and grabs his things, he slowly pushes the door open to see Pansy and Dean still asleep. We both as quietly as we can walk to my bed and he sets his things down, he climbs into my bed and pulls me down to him. When I feel his hands dig into my hips I can't help but start giggling, he quickly covers my mouth with his hand as the two of us try our best to not start laughing. He slowly pulls his hand away with a huge smile on his face, "Love you're going to wake them." He whispers to me, pulling the covers over the two of us. I bite my bottom lip as I try my best to control my laugher that wants to start up again. I cuddle myself into Mattheo chest as the two of us get comfy with one another, "Night love." He whispers, kissing my forehead. I smile softly as I fall asleep to the sound of his heart beat on my ear.

Pansy and Dean woke up first and to their surprise they see Mattheo and I in bed together, Pansy covers her mouth in excitement. "They're figuring it out." She whisper yells to Dean. Dean just chuckles at her excitement and changes into clothes for the day. Pansy walks over to the bed and tries wake both of them up, "Guys it's already 11, wake up." She tells them both. Mattheo groans and covers his head with the blanket. I slowly look up at her and she has the biggest smile on her face, "If I remember correctly I fell asleep last night and you were alone." She teases, I roll my eyes at her and crawl out of bed. "He just magically appeared in my bed, so strange." I tell her and pull the covers off his face. He had a huge grin on his face, "Cmon, let's get something to eat." I tell him, throwing him a sweatshirt of his I had on my trunk.

Mattheo and I walk behind Pansy and Dean to the Great Hall, I keep feeling his hand brush against mine. I look down at our hands and watch him interlock our hands together, I smile like an idiot before looking up at him. He winks at me while we just watch Pansy and Dean all over one another. Dean pushes open the Great Hall doors, Mattheo stops the twos of us and holds my hand up to his lips and softly kisses my hand. He lets go of my hand and we go take a seat with Pansy and Dean, not long after Oliver, Carter, and Quinn come to join us. Mattheo glances over at Oliver who takes a seat on the other side of me, his hand slides onto my thigh as he pulls me closer to him.  I raise my eyebrow and glance down at his hand, "It's barley been two minutes since that last time you touched me, new record." I tease him, leaning against his shoulder. He rolls his eyes at me and takes a bite of the bacon he had in his hand, "You don't seem to mind so why are you teasing me about it?" He ask me, matching me with my eyebrow raised.
