tom riddle had never known love. his parents died when he was young, and he never had a boyfriend. riddle never told anyone that he's gay. his own brother doesn't even know. draco and enzo were the only ones he ever said anything to. mattheo always tried to set him up with a girl but nothing ever came of it.

there was a boy tom had his eye on since first year. his name is noah crouch, brother of barty crouch jr. they're both slytherins, both in the same year, both hate people, and love to study in the restricted section of the library. draco noticed tom always staring at noah and encouraged him to go talk to the boy. tom always refused.

"just go, mate." enzo sighed.

"no, i think i'm good over here. he's not even gay." tom said, going back to eating his dinner.

"you never know til you ask." draco chimed.

tom rolled his eyes and shushed the boys as his brother sat next to him. mattheo cocked an eyebrow but didn't say anything. he knew the older had secrets and would tell him when he was ready. pansy, astoria, and daphne took their seats a little while later. daphne kept her eye on tom the entire time. he was very uncomfortable and draco could tell. 

"daph, you alright?" draco tapped her shoulder.

"yea sorry." she turned towards pansy.

"brother, is there something you want to tell me?" mattheo asked.

"not at the moment." tom shook his head and left the great hall.

enzo excused himself a few minutes after. he knew the older riddle needed comfort but would never show it. berkshire was the only one who shared a dorm with tom, so he didn't have to knock when he came in. tom was sitting on his own bed with his knees to his chest and his head buried in them. enzo rushed over and sat next to the man. 

"tom, it's okay." he tried to get him to open up.

"is it? i'm the only gay person in this school! no one would ever accept me, not even my own brother." tom exclaimed.

"can i tell you something?" enzo fiddled with his hands.

"sure." tom nodded and put his knees down.

"i'm gay, tom. no one else knows, not even draco." berkshire admitted.

"thank you for telling me. do you like anyone?" riddle smiled.

"i do, but his heart is set on another." he blushed.

"can i get a name?" tom whispered.

enzo didn't respond, he just looked into tom's beautiful blue eyes. it clicked for the older riddle right there. he reached up to touch enzo's face, connecting their lips in a sweet and passionate kiss. tom couldn't help but feel fireworks in the kiss and butterflies swarming in his tummy. enzo felt exactly the same, climbing onto tom's lap and straddling his waist. they only pulled away for air. tom pressed his forehead against enzo's. 

"fuck." enzo breathed.

"yea?" tom smiled.

"you're a great kisser." berkshire giggled.

"i could say the same for you, pretty boy." riddle complimented.

"let me make you mine?" tom asked, interlocking their hands.

"i'd love nothing more, tommy." he kissed tom's nose.

tom smiled, reconnecting their lips. the couple only broke apart by a knock at the door. draco called out to ask if they were okay. tom looked at enzo, and once he nodded, riddle gave the blonde boy permission to come in. draco closed the door behind him before looking at the boys on the bed. his eyes widened when he saw enzo and tom holding hands.

"are you two - " enzo cut him off.

"yes. don't tell anyone yet, please. it literally just happened." enzo's eyes held desperation.

"your secret is safe with me. i'm happy for you both." draco smiled as he left.
