slytherin boys react

theodore nott: finding out they're just pretending to like you

after 3 months of dating him, he finally invites you to come and hangout with him and his friends.

"don't act weird, okay?" he says to you as you both enter the slytherin common room. the room fell silent as everyone stared at you like you were some kind of creature, making you uncomfortable.

he clears his throat. "um, guys... my girlfriend?" he says, gesturing towards you with a nod and giving them an urging look, hoping they'll say something.

"they're just a bit surprised.. i didn't tell them you were coming." he whispers to you, trying to reassure you after seeing how uncomfortable you look.

he forces a chuckle before leaving your side without hesitation, plopping down beside mattheo. he doesn't bother asking you to join him or take a seat. as soon as he sits down, everyone resumes chatting, completely ignoring your presence.

you stood there, sensing the awkwardness intensify throughout your body. you just wanted to leave at that point.

your eyes scanned the room, landing on mattheo, who was whispering something to theodore. theodore sighed and shook his head in response, leaving you curious about what mattheo had said.

you couldn't stand there any longer and you tried to quietly make your way towards the door but theodore immediately notices this. "where are you going?" he asks you, causing everyone to fall silent once again.

"to the washroom," you say, making an excuse.

"you're going the wrong way," he says. "it's over there." he says, pointing to the opposite direction, making everyone in the room laugh and snicker quietly.

you nod and quickly walk in the direction he pointed you to. entering the washroom, you look at your reflection in the mirror and decide that you're going to go back and tell him directly that you're uncomfortable and that you want to leave.

you sighed to yourself as you exited the washroom and began walking back. as you're walking, you hear loud laughter and chuckling.

"you guys are so mean," you hear theodore say, chuckling faintly.

"you're not any better, the poor girl actually thinks you like her, theo," lorenzo's voice grew louder with every step you took, the laughter accompanying it becoming louder as well.

"yeah, yeah, shut up. i can't just break up with her, she's so clingy i'd feel bad," theodore says, unaware of your presence as you now stood behind the couch he's sitting on.

blaise chuckles, but his laughter immediately dies down as he notices you standing there. you make eye contact with him, and you can tell he definitely sees the hurt in your eyes by the look on his face.

everyone goes silent, but theodore continues speaking, still unaware of your presence. "i'll just try to get her to get mad at me one day so she breaks up with me first," he says.

he raises an eyebrow when nobody replies or reacts. "why are you guys so quiet?" he asks, then he looks at blaise, noticing he's looking at something behind him.

he turns around and sees you, his heart dropping to his stomach. "y/n," he says with wide eyes.

you look right back at him, still in shock over what you just heard him say, feeling a mix of emotions consume you. shaking your head slightly at him in disbelief, you quickly turn away and begin walking away.

hs watches you walk out the door before looking back at his friends, who all just shrug at him. "shit..." he mutters before suddenly getting up and running after you.

as he catches up to you, he grabs your arm gently to stop you from walking any further. "y/n, wait," he says, his voice filled with urgency and regret.

you stop but don't turn to face him, keeping your gaze fixed on the floor. "what do you want, theodore?" you ask, your voice barely above a whisper.
