Riddle Brothers Imagines🖤🐍🤍

Midnight Confessions

I lied awake, unable to fall asleep at this late hour. My clock told me that I had been laying there trying to sleep for 2 hours. As 10:59 turned to 11:00 I turned restlessly and accepted the fact I wouldn't be sleeping anytime soon. I sat up slowly and quietly slid over to my dresser to grab a jacket and a hair-tie. I slipped the dark green zip up jacket on over my black tight sleep top and my christmas plaid sleep shorts. I brushed my hair, threw it into a braid and fixed my glasses. Careful not to wake my roommate I snatched my delicate wand and slipped out the door in my slippers.

Waltzing through the common room it seemed more beautiful than eerie at night with the slight glow from the candles and the light of the moon casting a blue shadow over the floor from the reflection if the lake. Everything was silent and it allowed you to truly see the intentions behind the beautiful architecture and think past the initial thought of wanting to freeze up.

I passed throughout the main doors and into the halls of the school itself. Casting lumos to allow myself some light I pad through the hallway with my music flowing from my headphones into my ears. A walk and music always put me to sleep whenever I had trouble, curtsey of my father. He never let me sleep an hour without yelling about something stupid while drunk.

Shuffling my songs I finally come across my favourite, 'Reflections' by the neighbourhood and sigh contently. I hear a shuffle behind me, even through my blasting music just as I pass by the biggest painting in the hallway. Assuming that its the painting I decide to push the ever-growing thoughts to the back of my mind but not before I hear my name be called. As I turn around I nearly shriek as I see none other than the Slytherin prefect, Mattheo Riddle, behind me but he quickly puts a finger to my mouth, effectively shushing me.

I pull my head back shocked at his actions. One, Slytherins prefects only had duties on Monday and Thursday, so why is he out on a Tuesday night? And two, why does he keep moving towards me. His aromatic scent of mahogany and teakwood with a slight smell of tobacco flood my nose, even more comforting than walking into the pastry shop in Hogsmead.

"What are you doing Mattheo?" Him and I have known eachother for a while but never truly got along, his ego and my stubbornness never mixed.
"Shut up y/n, Snape is in the next hallway so unless you want detention you will listen"

"Uh- what?" I barely manage out before he shoves himself inside a closet outside of the Charms classroom along with me. I immediately grab my wand ready to conjure lumos but he shut down the idea instantly. "Do you want to get caught? God I thought you were smart Nott" The mere mention of him suggesting that I was less than what I have achieved academically has me reeling. "I will have you know-"

He rolls his eyes. "I don't care babydoll"
The nickname has me blushing and I have never been more grateful for the dark in my life. My mind spirals in the quietness of the cabinet, darkness succumbing every light. With as small as the cabinet is, my 5'6 body and his 6'1 build has us hunching over eachother. We have no choice but to basically curl into one and others embraces.

Snapes footsteps can be heard walking slowly outside the cabinet door and he suddenly stops, Opening the door to the Classroom right next to ours, he walks in. I give out a sigh of relief as he walks in and I reach up for the handle. Mattheo quickly grips my wrist and pulls my hand to his chest. "What are you doing?"

I look at him in confusion and respond "Um leaving?"
He looks bewildered.
"Ya know so I can prevent the inevitable cramps if I stay in this position?" He rolls his eyes "We could be given detention and receive serious consequences, and your worried about cramps"

"Precisely"
" You are insufferable Y/n"
I quirk an eyebrow at him and give him an obvious look. After a minute or to of miserable and awkward silence, I finally break it. "Is it to late to tell you that I am afraid of the dark?"

I feel his chin brush the top of my head as his head turns. "You are?" He asks. "Oh yeah, I cant stand this, I get panic attacks and everything" I say trying to joke about to.
"Oh" He breathes. "Well why aren't you freaking out now?" He questions, and you can tell he isn't trying to be an ass, just genuinely curious. I mutter out a quiet response, one that I can barely hear myself. "What was that princess?" He holds a finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him as the sliver of light pours from the crack in the doors.

I clear my throat and still speak quietly "Because you are here" I finally manage out.  I see his pupils dilate but he doesn't make a sound. Instead he forces his head towards mine and lowers it to my height. He kisses me, ravishing my lips. When I thought about how my night would've gone, it definitely didn't end in making out with Mattheo Riddle in a hall closet.

My hand find their way into his hair, tugging on his curls and earning endless groans from him. Just as he takes my lip into his teeth the Charms Classroom door opens. We freeze, a moan still bubbling inside me from the closeness and the fact that my lip is still interlocked between his teeth. Snape finally walks away and we hear his footsteps disappear. After a few seconds, and once we are sure he is gone, he releases me and we burst into fits if laughter. He finally moves the latch and stands up and holds out his hand for me to hold.  I grab it and mutter a thank you as I stumble out tiredly, almost forgetting the fact that I have yet to sleep today.

I wipe my eyes and yawn once more. "Tired babydoll?" Theo asks. "Yeah, and I have that stupid cramp. Should've just left when I could have." He let out a breathy chuckle.

"But then I wouldn't have been able to kiss you" He whispered with a certain gleam in sincerity in his eyes. "You were eager to do that huh?" I say between my laughs at his seriousness.

He starts laughing right along beside me. "Is it obvious?" I pretend to think for a moment "Hmm, maybe a little bit yeah".

"Well at least now you know how I feel Y/n. And I think I know how you feel, or am I wrong, because if the blush on your cheek is any indication I would say you just might feel something for me to."

I look up at him with a playful grin and push my body onto his more. "Oh I think you know exactly how i'm feeling Mattheo"

He smirks and lifts me up and holds me to his chest. "Lets go baby"

I smile and blush even harder at his new nickname and wonder how the rest of my time here will play out with Mattheo by my side.
