This was a request, (I tried to do a mix of soft and stubborn Tom, original Tom I don't think would care... BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS ITS FINEEE) thank you to those who read this little book of blurbs, one shots, and whatever else comes to my mind 🫶

You're pov:
You and Tom had been dating for quite a while and you thought that you got to a safe part of your relationship to the point where you can ignore him for a week and see how it goes. He has been busy with whatever he does in his Tom Time, as you like to call it. He's been too busy for you so how will he feel when you're too busy for him, even if it is only for a week?

1)

You were walking down the halls after getting ready for breakfast. You had woken up early to look more proper because hey, the more attention you get that's not from him, the more attention you'll draw to yourself which he just so happens to follow. As you enter the great hall you do see Tom sitting down but he has his nose buried in a book so you decide to sit down with some of your friends. They were ecstatic to see you and kept on rambling on about their days and future plans.
"Do you want to go look for herbs and creatures with us later today?" One of your friends ask. You nod because you need SOMETHING to do that's not be with your boyfriend. This puts a smile on their faces and therefore yours. A little while into breakfast you look over at Tom who looks at you with no expression on his face. You can tell he has something to say but you can't make out what it is so you go back to your friends and food.
Once you were all dismissed to your classes you ran out with your friends, even though you heard your name being called from behind you. He wasn't yelling your name but it was definitely loud enough for you to hear. You decided to jump into the conversation your friends were having to make it seem like you didn't actually hear him, but something about that made him suspicious.

Unfortunately, most of you're classes intertwined for the day so you took it upon yourself to socialize with new people! Your first class was potions and when you walked into class Tom was sat at a desk with a free seat next to him but when you looked around some more you saw another free seat so you sat there. When you glanced over at Tom he looked like he was ready to murder someone. He had that stare that if you looked at for too long you would turn into stone, like Medusa.
Todays assignment was liquid death, you and your partner (who you found out his name was Malcom) had to make together. Tom ended up working with a random chick, but you tried not to look at them often. This worked enough thought the first set of classes for the day but each class was the same thing over and over. You didn't sit with him, he sat with a random chick, you ignored him, he would stare daggers into you head. The entire day it was like he had the pull in you that made it like a magnet, you just kept on wanting to go back. 
     In his mind this was your way of getting your little revenge for him not paying much to any attention to you. He thought that it would all be over after the first few hours but he doesn't always know everything (surprisingly)
     Once classes were over you ran out of there as fast as you could. You ignored your friend calling for you and you ignored the heavy and fast footsteps that you immediately recognized to be Toms. With your heart pounding in your chest it made it quite hard to hear anything. When you made it to your common room you heard him stop outside of it. (If you're Slytherin then he doesn't feel like chasing you, same as if you're not Slytherin) You figured that you were safe for now and went to your room to change. You gladly took off your itchy uniform and decided to put on Toms sweater. It was cold outside so it was perfect. Maybe you could tease him a little bit? Who knows? You grabbed a bag and headed to meet your friends.

     You were in the forest and kind of got separated from the group but you knew your way around so you weren't worried. You saw a group of mushrooms that were on one of the cards you were given before hands so you went to pick them up. There was a little bundle of 5, the first one was the hardest. You yanked it twice before it came out, you ended up falling over onto your bum and heard chuckling behind you. You already knew who's it was by the dark and monotone ring that laced his laugh, Tom Marvolo Riddle, for Merlin's sake. You heard him approaching from behind you so you didn't turn around, instead you brushed yourself off and went back to picking the Mushrooms.
     "Darling? This behavior is pissing me off," he exclaimed whilst putting his hand on your shoulder. You don't look up, you jsut keep on ignoring him and going back to your mushrooms. "Daring? Ms. Riddle? Do I have to take that title away?" Your heart sank at the thought but you kept strong. When he realized that you weren't responding his hand went to your neck but he didn't squeeze it or anything, he just wanted a reaction. At most your breath hitched which didn't satisfy him enough. He removed his hand and you heard his weight shift from foot to foot. "If this because I've ignored you? You really are childish, Darling," he muttered the last part but he knew you heard it. Just as you grabbed the last mushroom he had walked away and was no where to be seen.

     Later that night you were lying in bed, all comfy, but you couldent sleep. You hated sleeping knowing someone, especially your boyfriend was mad at you. It was almost as if he was in your mind because not 10 seconds later there was a knock at your door then you heard it open. You shut your eyes and thank Merlin your back was facing the door. You heard the same equal footsteps approach your bed and suddenly you almost tipped backwards. You felt your bed warm up with the extra body in there but you were brought back down to earth by something cold tracing your arm. You assumed it was his rings because of the design you felt traced into your skin.
     "Darling, I don't care if you're mad at me. Let me stay the night," it wasn't a request. With the tone of his voice you could tell it was more so what he was already going to do.

2)

     You had woken up to an empty bed which you were somewhat relieved by but also upset by. Breakfast was basically the exact same as yesterday but Tom was much more attentive to you. He looked at you more and you were half scared to make eye contact. You were scared you would turn to stone if you even glanced his way. It would be good for him though. If you were a slab of stone then you would never be able to leave him.
     ~
     First period today was torture because right before you walked in you heard Tom threatening some girl who tried to sit next to him so when you walked in the only seat free was the one next to him. It was transfiguration today and so you took A LOT of notes, no matter how good, bad, or indifferent you are to the subject. It was a good reason to stay focused and not on him. That was going well until he got pissed. His hand made its way to your thigh. He wasn't paying attention to the lesson, instead, he was paying attention to your reaction to the movements he made on your leg. The lower, the higher, even pressure , all of it. You were ready to give up right then and there but then your teacher asked Tom and question which drew him out of his trance and this gave you the opportunity to shuffle farther away from him. He looked back at you and wasn't upset, he was confused, angry, and pissed off.
     ~
     The second day was easy because you were surrounded by people the entire day. You did steal glances because you couldn't act like he was invisible and each time it was the same Riddle Stare that he had done yesterday and all today. It did frighten you at times but he would immediately look away.
     He did not come to join you that night, at least you didn't think so... but there was a card with a bouquet of red roses and a few dyed black.

     To Ms Riddle
          Here's a bouquet of roses with thorns. They reminded me of you: looked beautiful and dainty until you realize that you are bleeding and that they are a pain in the ass <3
  Unfortunately you're my pain in the ass

This is one of Toms love languages... insults... it's nOt GifT GiviNG aNYmOrE! It's insults... great.
You still smile at the card because he got me flowers. Ugh, this challenge sucks ass.

3)

You place the flowers from the night before in a jar in your room and head down to my first class because you had missed breakfast for the day. This actually gave you one less Tom to ignore today. Hangry Tom, by far the scariest of them all. As soon as you entered class you noticed that the atmosphere was lighter and bubblier than usual. Tom wasn't there! Yay! But also wtf- you sat down in your usual seat until a random kid comes up to you.
"Hey, I'm sorry about Tom," he said whilst rubbing his arm.
"What do you mean?" You look at him confused. He seems even more confused.
"He showed up covered in blood, some people are saying it was a fight and others are saying it was an animal," the said whilst walking away slowly. You never thought Tom would go through it with... he has a damn basilisk. You packed up your bags and ran to the hospital wing only to see Tom with bandages on his left leg, right arm. And a few on his torso where his shirt has been lifted.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle! What the hell!?" You yell as you run over to him. He only smirks at you. You look confused as to why he's doing that stupid face at you:
"Darling, if me ignoring you caused this then don't let me do it again," he whispered and put his head back down on the pillow. You want to slap him. You really really do. "I would also appreciate not being slapped." You contemplate your decisions before your hands get grabbed by his. He pulls you down to his level and kisses you. You missed the close proximity. He's liek a drug that you're addicted to.

Unfortunately for you you didn't complete this challenge, and if you ever tried it again then he would force you two into situations that you needed to rely on him or you needed to talk to each other

And again this was a request! It's not the best because I'm writing this at 1-2 am and I'm dyslexic:D
