Delicate - Mattheo Riddle

female touch.

I strutted back into the party a few minutes after mattheo as to not cause confusion. I checked around. everyone was severely drunk. I swallowed my spit as I walked past one hufflepuff girl puking on the dance floor. I looked around to find the rest of the friend group.

I noticed draco and harry walking out of the bathroom. looking around to see if anyone was watching them.

Harry bit his lip when draco leaned over and whispered something in his ear. he notably flushed red as malfoy walked away.

just then harry spotted me. by then I was already walking towards him.

"hey, uhm elle, I-"

"I'll see you later ok?" I said, making sure he didn't embarrass himself further. I smiled sweetly and walked off towards the direction malfoy did.

I spotted the rest of the bunch.

"Heeeyyy Elleee." Pansy wrapped her arm around my shoulder and proceeded to laugh. "Your face looks funny. why do you have 3... no 4 eyes? i didn't know you could do that!" She giggled again.

"ok....theo?" he nodded and wrapped his hand around her waist.

"hey!!" she beamed

"hey!" he repeated in the same energy.

they walked out of the booming party. theo whispering in her ear.

I turned to draco who was now accompanied by mattheo. which for some reason had a blurry face.

I tryed to tell him to go away when he held my shoulder but i couldn't form the words.

"princess? you ok?" I heard him whisper before everything went black.

-

I slowly opened my eyes and jumped up as I breathed in heavily.

"shh, shh it's ok hey." I felt a large hand rub up and down my back. I gulped and tried to teach myself how to blink. the green curtains soon came into vision. so did the abstract walls. blaise and enzo I saw were sitting on chairs in front of my bed.

but wait it wasn't my bed.

who's hand is around my back?

where am I?

I closed my eyes again.

"breath. in and out gryffindor." I could hear the smile in his voice.

"what.. what happened." I rubbed my eyes with the palms of my hands.

"E. you had another panic attack." my heart dropped as the words slid out of enzo's mouth.

"but- but the doctor said that- that I..." I bit my lip and tried not to pass out again.

Mattheo caught my head before it fell back on the headboard.

I tried to forget all the times I broke down. all the times my anxiety took over my body. vunerable. I fucking hated it. I hated not having control over my emotions.

"I know. It's ok. he said that if something caused it they might happen again." just then I remembered everything.

my head spinning. the short breaths as I slid down the side of the wall. my tears flowing down my face. the walls closing in around me.

my eyes bursted open. "but nothing caused it. I was fine. I was fine. I wasn't worried. I was fine." I rambled on.

"the most important part is that your ok now." blaise mumbled. I let long exhales escape my mouth.

A tear slid down my cheek that I quickly wiped away.

"maybe you should stay here tonight E." Enzo suggested. I nodded.

"You can take theos bed. he's at pansy's tonight." blaise added. I nodded once again. Mattheo reached behind me and handed me a glass of water.

I took it and engulfed a few sips. Just then I realized he had his hand on my back this whole time. about two millimeters above my ass.

I scooted up a little so he was forced to let go.

Enzo got up and opened his hand out to me. I slid my fingers in between his and he helped me stand up. I stumbled but managed to find my balance.

before I knew it he had reached into his laundry hamper and pulled out a hoodie. I smiled at him and walked into the bathroom.

It was smoky and reeked of weed. The toiletries and razors were scattered across the counter and the sink didn't look like it had been cleaned in ages.

in need of some female touch! I remember pansy saying.

I set down my cup and finally got a good look at myself in the mirror. I still had my dress on but one of the straps was slid down my shoulder and my bra was showing. My makeup was demolished and mascara was ran down my cheeks and neck. My hair was tangled and frizzy. and I hadn't looked like I'd slept in weeks.

I looked like a complete psycho.

I was seriously wondering why mattheo didn't take a good look at me and run for the hills. or any of the guys for that matter.

I took a cold shower and washed off all my makeup with some 9 in 1 shit they had in the shower.

I changed into enzo's hoodie and someone boxers I found in the clean laundry. Or at least it looked clean. it's not like it was neatly folded or anything.

I walked out of the bathroom and found that the lights were already off and enzo and blaise asleep. Mattheo was still awake. scrolling on his phone.

He heard the door shut and shot his eyes up towards me. somehow he was even sexier when his hair was messed up. I gave him a slight smile and headed for theos bed. surprisingly, actually made. I slid into the covers and attempted to tuck myself in.

Unfortunately, I got trapped in the resentless grip of my insomnia. If my day couldn't get any worse. my sweet, elusive sleep just out of reach.

Wrapped in a thin blanket, I shivered as the nights chin crept in. leaving me yearning for warmth and comfort.

no matter how hard I tried, I kept getting colder.

maybe I could sleep with enzo. I peered over and saw that he was sprawn out upon his bed, notably naked, which I was not interested in. and blaise was snoring as loud as a fucking lizard. I tiptoed my way over to mattheos bed. all sound asleep.

I slowly slid under his covers and caught myself staring at his naked chest.

"evening princess." he said in a sleep morning voice. eyes still closed.

"sorry. I'll leave." I said embarrassed. attempting to climb out but got pulled to his chest.

"Don't leave." He begged in a raspy voice. I froze. "I dont mind the company." he smiled wide.

I rolled my eyes and cuddled myself up to his warm chest.

"my boxers look good on you." he murmured against my cold skin. I blushed hard.

"shut up." I muttered, trying not to smile.

He kissed in between my boobs. just then I realized I had taken off my brother's hoodie from being hot. (ironic) leaving me in my bra and matching panties.

He kissed my forehead. my arm. my nose. my mouth. every part of my body continuously. until I peacefully fell asleep.
