~Unexpected love~ Mattheo x Reader

A familiar smell

I slowly opened my eyes and noticed Mattheo still in my arms. I blush and slowly got out of bed, the room was still empty. After seeing the time I decided to take a shower quickly. I changed and walked back out the bathroom. To my surprise Mattheo woke up and had Chica my kitten in his hands. He sat on the edge of the bed. I noticed she liked him, she purred and rubbed her head on him.

"Surprised she likes you, she only acts like that with me" I chuckled slightly at the scene. He looked up and smiled sweetly.

"Are you going to avoid me again now?" I looked at him confused. Ignoring the fact that his morning voice was making me crazy.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing" he placed Chica down and walked up to me.

"I'll go back to my room to get ready" I nod, he stood close to me. I felt his warm breath on my face, a slight blush making its way on my cheeks. I looked to the ground.

"See you later" I nod again.

I didn't know how to act around Mattheo. After we cuddled up in my own bed. What I could say is I didn't hate him anymore. Maybe I could call us friends even. Nah that sounded weird, we tolerate each other. During the classes we would glace at each other but I always cut it short. Next I had potions. We were discussing about the Amorentia potion and what it does. We were instructed to all come and smell it. After a few students smelled it, giggles emerged as they described the scent. Then it was my turn, I took in the scent. My eyes widened as I recognized the smell. No that can't be!

"What do you smell miss Whitelock?" I swallowed hard.

"Errm" I struggle, should I lie? I mean who would understand it's his scent?

"Well erm, cologne and.. smoke and mint" I said as quiet as I could.

"Didn't quite catch that miss Whitelock" for fucks sake, really?

"Cologne, smoke and mint" I said annoyed. And started walking back to my seat. I saw Mattheo and Brian both starring at me. They both had a smirk, what the hell? Then I remembered Brian also smokes, fuck now he thinks I was smelling him. I scoff and placed my head on my palms. But when Mattheos turn came, my attention got back to the task.

"I smell caramel and coconut" I felt butterflies in my stomach. Is.. is it my smell? I shook my head, that cant be. There are a lot of girls with sweet smells. As all students finished smelling, they all sat back down. Brian who was sat in front of me turned around.

"You still smell me?"

"You wish Widhsworth" he only chuckled.

"Pretty sure that's my smell" I groan.

"Not it's not" I saw Mattheo glancing towards me and Brian.

"Who else could it be? Come on stop lying" I clenched my fist but before I could answer Mattheo spoke.

"Knew you had a crush on me" he said with a smirk. I look at him with shock with flustered cheeks. Brian raised a brow.

"You?" He said with disgust. Oh how much I would've liked to punch him in the face right now and there.

"Yes, got a problem with that?"

"You're both delusional" I say, luckily the lesson ended. I quickly packed my stuff and made my way out of there. Did he really think I smelled him or was he trying to defend me in his way. I made my way to the next lesson.

I wasn't interested in this lesson, it was quite boring. I looked out the window and thought about last night. The way me and Mattheo cuddled up all night. Him opening up to me, it made me feel strange. Soon the professor ended the class and I was walking beside pansy and Enzo.
