Nothing goes unsaid. Theo Nott x y/n

smoke

Days had passed since my last encounter with Theo. I haven't seen him since then, not in class, not in the halls, not in the common room. I don't know what to think. Ive asked everyone if they've seen him, with no luck. Is he really that embarrassed of what happened? Did he not mean a word he said? 

I haven't told anyone about the kiss, not even Pansy. My mind has been all over the place. I haven't been paying attention in lessons. Dinner was always a disaster, as my friends would try to have a conversation with me and I  simply wouldn't hear them cause my mine was fixated on something else. 

Cedric had came up to me, his arm in a sling, and all bruised up. He has apologized for the fight, and the decided that it would be best if me and him stayed friends. I didn't even say anything, I just nodded and walked off.

I spent most nights in the common room, hoping to see Theo walk in. Each night felt like days, and I just laid on the couch my face blank. People would try to check on me, but I wouldn't respond. 

The only person who could read me like a book walked in. Y/n, what's going on? You're being quiet." Mattheo sits next to me on the couch in the common room. I ignore him, flipping the page of my book that I'm reading. He grabs the book out of my hand, reading the title. "The Notebook? What kinda muggle shit is this?" 

I snatch the book out of his hand, making my page and placing it down. "It's actually a good book."

"Quiet ignoring my question." Mattheo nudges me,  giving me a look."Whats going on? You know you can always talk to me."

I throw my legs over his lap and lean my head back against the arm rest. I take a breath, slowly exhaling. "Nothing Matty. I'm fine." 

Mattheo places a hand on my knee, and smiles softly. "I know you better than that. Your 'Im fine' usually means you're not fine."

I groan, throwing my arm over my eyes. "Im just a little distracted. Thats all."

"Oh you mean by what happened with Theo?"

I sit up suddenly, my eyes fixated on his. "Why do you say that? What did he tell you?"

Mattheo shrugs, "I was talking about the fight with him and Cedric, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Forget I said anything." I stumble over my words, moving my feet off his lap and going to stand up. He quickly pulls me down, resting his arm on my shoulder. 

"No I won't forget it. What happened? Did he hurt you? I swear y/n, if he hurt you.." 

"No Matty, he didn't hurt me." I start, resting my head in the palm of my hands. "We just.."

Mattheo looks at me, his faced worried. "We just kissed." I blurt out, rubbing my forehead with my hand. Mattheo looks at me in shock, before opening his mouth. 

"Theo? Kissed you?" 

"Yes." I sheepishly say, my face truing a crimson shade.

"I fucking knew it." Mattheo fist bumps the air, and smiles. "Enzo owes me 10 galleons."

I smack him in the chest. "You made a bet on this?" 

"Oh 100%! I always knew he didn't hate you. I could just tell." He smirks, looking at me. "Mattheo Riddle has his ways of knowing things y/n."

"You mean you had a feeling this whole time and never even bothered to tell me?"

"I didn't want to tell you, and then you end up saying something to him. Trying to save you from embarrassment."

I smile, before playfully shoving him. "I just don't know what to do honestly. It's not like I can't talk to him about it, he's no where to be found. I haven't seen him in 3 days."
