Behind Closed Doors ; Mattheo x Reader

Chapter 18

The extremely looooong awaited chapter 18. Enjoy :)

Y/n's POV

"What are you?"

We stood in silence, his muscly arms blocking me from my escape.

He stared intently into my eyes and my heart rate accelerated.

"Wh- wh- wh- what do you mean?", I stammered between breaths.

"Don't play dumb with me Y/n", he stated. 

I noticed his eyes glance down to my lips and I couldn't help but do the same to him.

Something felt strange. It was so different from anything I had felt before.

He moved his face closer to mine.

We were about an inch apart before he whispered, "I saw your eyes Y/n... I don't know what you are but I know you're different"

I can't believe it. How could he have seen them? 

The very person I was trying so hard to keep it from, to keep out of my head.

Did I let him in somehow? Is this all a trick?

My heart and mind were racing.

So was his heartbeat.

Was it possible... no it couldn't be... 

Is this actually real?

...

I couldn't help but move myself closer to him. It felt almost as if I was being lured. Like he was some type of drug that I couldn't get away from.

And now we were less than a centimetre apart...

Then the thought came into my mind... 

What about Theodore?

I started to panic and immediately moved my face away from his. 

"Whatever game you're playing Riddle, isn't funny, if this is some elaborate attempt to get -

"Stop it Y/n"- He cut me off.

"There's just something-", he continued sounding unsure.

"Something about you"

"GET OFF HER RIDDLE" a voice shouted from a distance.

It was Theodore...

The next thing I knew Mattheo was on the ground. 

"Are you okay Y/n", Theodore said comfortingly as he hugged me.

"Yeah", was all that escaped my lips.

"You're gonna pay for that Nott", Mattheo said angrily

We stopped hugging and he turned to face Mattheo who was now standing by us.

"Oh really, and how?", Theo replied taking a step closer

"Like this", Mattheo said as he swung his fist right into Theodore's cheek.

Theodore almost fell to the floor before getting back up and returning the swift punch to Mattheo.

Mattheo took another swing and Theodore straight back. 

"Stop!", was all I managed to get out.

Mattheo swung again and hit Theodore right in the temple.

He fell to the ground.

I raced over to Theodore's side.

"He's not moving", I cried.

Mattheo just stood there watching, no emotion, no regret, nothing.
