Mattheo Riddle one shots/short stories

Whispers

(Mature language) (violent references)
Mattheos POV

I fucking hate gossip, and what I hate more is people who listen to gossip. Ever since the news spread about my father being back I've heard nothing but fucking rumours and gossip. The dumb fuck idea that I helped bring him back, that I helped set up potter, the rumour that I'm helping him secretly, and worse the fact that everyone in this fucking place thinks I'm exactly like him.

They look at me like I'm some piece of shit on the bottom of their shoe, acting as if I chose my family. Of course there's one person who treats me the same as always, Y/N. Not once since the news has she ever treated me or looked at me different.

When I say she's the only person in this world who's opinion I really care about I'm not exaggerating, I couldn't care less about what anybody else thinks, they've probably always thought the same way about me since I stepped foot in this school anyway.

What I do care about is how people look at her because of me. I knew she deserved better the second she smiled at me, but now with the whispers and rumours circulating, it's not just me who they're talking about. Three times I've had to rip some snotty little cow bag off my girl, hitting her and calling her a psycho for staying with me and yet she still sleeps in my dorm room every night and still holds my hand down the hallways. I wouldn't blame her for leaving me, in fact I'm still waiting for it to happen.

Even now while she wittering away at me about potions, I can't help but think it might be better for her if I leave, her life would be easier, happier even but I just can't bring myself to do it, I'm a coward.

"Matt are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" She says looking up at me with her big doe eyes, I almost melt in my seat.

"Not a clue baby but you sure look gorgeous sitting there chatting away" I lean in and kiss her blushing cheek, I hear the slightest giggle escape her mouth.

"Penny for your thoughts?" She looks at me once again with her big eyes, worrying about me as always.

"Nothing to worry about Y/N, I was just daydreaming that's all, go back to your studying" I smile at her and she looks at me unconvinced but puts her nose back in her book anyway. She never does push me too hard, she always waits for me to come clean in my own time, god have i mentioned how much I love her yet?

I feel her small clammy hand slide over the top of my shaking ones and I relax at the feel of her touch. I kiss the top of her hand and she smiles without looking up from her book.

"So are you my plus one to this party tonight?" I ask her as sweetly as possible, because I really want her to come and I promised Theo I would show my face.

"I think I'll pass, that bitch who ragged my hair out the other day is going, and word on the street is she's going to be making her moves on Draco tonight, so last thing I want to be doing is sitting across from her" she looks at me with deadly eyes, probably having flashbacks to her fight, oh how cute she is when she's mad.

"Baby please I hate being anywhere you're not" Christ she's even got me begging now.

"Well don't go come to my dorm instead" stubborn she is sooooo stubborn.

"I promised Theo I'd go because apparently I've been MIA recently, maybe I'll just have one drink then Ill come and see you " I say it with more attitude than intended but I really do hate being away from my girl for longer then 20 minutes, it's sad really.

"Okay baby I'll leave my door unlocked for you" she smiles up at me and I lean in and kiss her.

Y/N POV

I jump at the sound of a loud thud at my door, probably someone drunk no doubt.
Mattheo is laid across the floor as I open my door, Christ the boy was there for no more than 30 minutes.

"Mattheo what fuck are you doing" I say laughing, all he returns is a slight laugh and a thumbs up.

"Oh god baby come on up you get" I lift him onto my shoulders and he lays most of his weight onto me making me stumble slightly. I grab onto the door frame for support but it isn't much help.

" I love you soooo much babe, you're my girl Yano? I've not a clue what- wha- I do without you" he kisses my cheek sloppily and rests his head on my shoulder.

I try and walk him to the bed but as he sways he knocks into my house plant and we fall to the ground.

"HEY don't touch my girl" he yells as he stands up and takes a swing at the plant.

"Matty that is a house plant you idiot sit down while I get you some water" I giggle as I sit him down on the bed and fetch him a glass of water.

He downs the first three glasses I give him and he starts to come round little by little.

"I. So sorry, I'm sorry Y/N, you deserve better than, than me" he looks down at his shaky hands and doesn't look up. I crouch to his level and put his head in my hands.

"Matty what are you talking about? I love you"

"You're life would be better without me in it, the fights, the looks the rumours it's all because of me" he still doesn't look up at me.

"Fuck those people Matt, the second they know the truth they'll all be apologising and arse licking you anyway, who cares what they think I know the truth and so do you, that's all that matters, you're a good person Mattheo, you didn't choose who or where you came from, but you can choose who to keep in your life, and I choose you" he looks up at me, his eyes watery and he tucks my hair behind my ear before kissing me deeply.

"You have no idea how much I love you Y/N, you're the only person I will ever care about, I breath just for you" he kisses me again, the taste of smoke and vodka mix in my mouth but I ignore it and melt into our kiss.

"I love you too, I prefer it when you don't taste like pure vodka but I guess I can live with it"
He smiles and pulls me into his chest.

"Good because after that speech you've got me forever". He kisses the top of my head and falls asleep almost instantly.
