Oh, my dear... (Mattheo Riddle ff)

how it got more serious...

P.T.

,,You've got to be kidding me... That's level four?!"

His grin was starting to annoy me. ,,Why so surprised, Thorne? You knew this was coming."

I did, indeed. ,,Doesn't mean I was looking forward to it, Riddle."

,,You don't look forward to kiss me?"

,,I'd rather kiss one of Hagrid's trolls, actually."

,,Oh come on, that's a little mean, Thorne. Don't you think?"

I shrugged. ,,Why? You do share the brains and the looks with them."

It was clear, that Riddle had to remind himself to keep his composure. ,,You're not making this easy, love."

Raising my eyebrows, I turned back around to him. ,,I'm sorry, what was that?"

He smiled innocently. ,,What was what?"

,,You know exactly what I was talking about, Riddle."

,,Oh, do I, love?"

,,There! You just said it again!"

He rolled his eyes. ,,Thorne! It's not going to be very believable if we keep calling each other by our last names in front of others!"

I sighed. He was right, but I didn't like that. ,,Alright, what do you want me to call you then?"

He shrugged. ,,I don't know. Baby?"

I shook my head. ,,No. Too platonic.

,,Love?"

,,That's already your nickname for me."

,,Maybe... darling?"

,,Nah... Too cute for you."

,,How about honey?"

,,Are you fucking for real, Riddle?"

,,What about sweetheart?"

,,Also no."

,,Sugar?"

,,Keep dreaming."

,,Cutie pie?"

,,I'll just pretend you didn't just say that."

,,Cupcake?"

,,Fuck off!"

,,Daddy?"

,,Do you want me to kill you that badly, Riddle?"

,,Alright, I take that last one back. Sunshine?"

,,Yeah, no. Sunshine my ass."

,,Angel?"

,,Weird pet name for the devil himself..."

He sighed heavily. ,,You're not making this easy, Thorne..."

I shrugged. ,,Can I just call you by your first name?"

,,No." he hissed.

,,Why not?"

,,Because I say so. Mattheo is not happening."

 Sighing, I rubbed the back of my head. ,,Let's just settle on something easy and not unnecessarily cute then." 

He nodded. ,,Okay, what about... simply, my dear?"

I raised my eyebrows again. ,,My dear Riddle?"

,,No. Only my dear. Just that."

,,Alright, that's... That should work for me, yeah."
