slytherin boys react

tom riddle: having a crush on you in their pov

i was patrolling the halls, making sure all the students were tucked away in their common rooms for the night, when i saw her. standing in the corridor, like a vision in the moonlight. it was past curfew, and she had no business being out of bed.

i approach her. "what are you doing out here?" i ask.

she looks up at me, her eyes widening in surprise. she probably wasn't expecting anyone to catch her out after curfew.

"uh... hi," she says, looking a bit sheepish. she's not doing a very good job hiding the fact that she's out of bed. "i just... needed some air."

not very convincing. do better. i know very well that her excuse for being out of bed is complete horseshit.

"needed some air, huh?" i ask, crossing my arms. "and do you make a habit of going for midnight strolls often?"

she looks away from me, her cheeks flushing slightly as she fidgets with her fingers. how cute.

i can't deny, she is quite beautiful.

"n-no, of course not," she stutters, avoiding my gaze. "i just... couldn't sleep."

liar. a bad one at that.

"oh really?" i say, taking a step closer to her. "and why couldn't you sleep?"

she takes a step back, her back now against the wall. she's starting to look nervous now, and i'm beginning to enjoy the effect i'm having on her. i'm enjoying this more than i should.

"well?" i press, moving even closer to her. i see her breath hitch as i loom over her, trapping her between my body and the wall.

i can see her chest rising and falling as she takes quick, shallow breaths. oh, how fun this is. i can tell she's trying to stay calm, but the fact that i'm so close to her is clearly making her flustered.

she looks up at me, her eyes meeting mine. she looks like a little deer caught in headlights, and it's taking everything i have not to pin her against the wall and devour her right here and now.

though, i wonder how she would react if i did.
