fluff |Mattheo Riddle | 💙🫂🦋❄️| Masterlist | Taglist | requests are open

SUMMARY: Y/N decides to test Mattheo Riddle's dedication during Quidditch practice by calling him, expecting to leave a voicemail. To her surprise, he answers on the first ring, pausing his training just to talk to her, proving that for him, she always comes first.

AUTHORS NOTE: Based on a scene in Red my lips by Lila Herron

The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch as Y/N sat by the lake, her fingers idly playing with her phone. Tom’s words from earlier echoed in her mind.

"Mattheo won’t answer if he’s at Quidditch training," he had told her with certainty. "His phone will be in his locker or shoved into his bag, and believe me, he won’t hear it until hours later."

Y/N knew that Mattheo was passionate about Quidditch; it was one of the things that made him so captivating to watch.

But today, something in her wanted to test it. She wasn’t even sure why she reached for her phone.

Maybe it was to prove Tom right, or maybe she just missed hearing Mattheo’s voice. Either way, she opened her contacts, scrolled down to his name, and pressed the call button.

She expected it to ring, maybe even go to voicemail. She was ready to hear that automated message and laugh to herself about how silly she was for interrupting him.

But the phone rang just once before she heard the line click open.

"Hello?" came the deep, unmistakable voice on the other end. The familiar sound of wind rushing past broomsticks and distant cheers filled the background.

Y/N’s breath caught in surprise. "Mattheo?"

"I like seeing your name show up on my phone," he replied smoothly, his voice low and warm despite the noise around him. It was like the world had stopped for him, even though she could hear the chaos of training in the background.

Y/N blinked, glancing down at the time on her phone. "Wait… aren’t you at Quidditch practice?"

There was a slight pause, then a soft chuckle. "I am."

As if to prove his point, she heard the distinct whoosh of someone flying by on their broomstick, followed by a distant shout. It sounded like Theo Nott.

Y/N shook her head in disbelief, leaning back on the grass. "Wait, did you actually pause training just to answer my call?"

Mattheo’s laughter echoed through the phone, and she could imagine the smirk that must’ve been playing on his lips. "You called, so I answered."

Her heart fluttered at his words, warmth spreading through her chest as she imagined him standing on the pitch, surrounded by his teammates, holding up a hand to quiet them just so he could speak to her.

"But I didn’t want to interrupt you," she said softly, suddenly feeling a little guilty. "Tom said you never answer when you’re training…"

"Tom’s right," Mattheo replied, and she could hear him shifting, maybe stepping further away from his team. "I usually don’t."

"Then why now?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, as if he was debating how much to reveal. When he spoke again, his voice was a little lower, more intimate. "Because it’s you, Y/N. I don’t care if I’m in the middle of training or dueling with a dragon. If you call, I’ll answer."

Y/N’s face flushed, her heart racing at the sincerity in his voice. She felt the corners of her lips tug up into a smile, her earlier nerves completely forgotten.

"You’re going to get in trouble with your team," she teased lightly, trying to hide how much his words affected her.

Mattheo chuckled again, the sound sending a shiver down her spine. "They can wait a minute. You’re more important."

Before she could respond, she heard Theo yell in the background. "Oi! Riddle, get off the phone! We’ve got a game to win!"

Mattheo’s voice was playful as he called back, "Yeah, yeah, I’ll be right there!"

"Go," Y/N laughed softly. "I don’t want to be the reason you lose."

"I’d rather lose the game than miss a call from you," he shot back with ease, making her heart skip a beat.

"Mattheo," she whispered, her voice softer now, feeling her emotions start to swirl. "You're ridiculous."

"And you love it," he replied smoothly, his voice teasing but filled with warmth.

She couldn't deny it. "Yeah, I do."

"I’ll see you later, alright?" Mattheo said, and she could hear the smile in his voice, the affection that laced his words.

"Yeah, later," Y/N replied, her heart full as she ended the call.

As she tucked her phone back into her pocket, she couldn’t stop the smile that spread across her face. Tom had been right—Mattheo normally wouldn’t answer during training.

But for her, he always would.

Mattheo Riddle x Reader

Word count: Approx. 3.2k

Summary: Mattheo Riddle was the only guy you'd ever felt desperate for. You were never expecting the tables to turn all these years later.

Warnings/be aware: Gryffindor!Quidditch Player!reader, fem!reader, confident reader, reader is mentioned as wearing makeup, alcohol consumption, reader being hit on, mentions of reader being laughed at/embarrassed in the past, pet names

A/N: Yes this is yet another impulsive fic I wrote before finishing my Theo series oops! I just love a confident reader so much. Experimenting with this character dynamic was quite fun and I do hope you enjoy!

The roar of music echoed in your eardrums, bass thumping in your chest and deep red lights obscuring your vision as you played along with some ill-conceived game that Ginny Weasley had concocted. She stood next to you, shooting ping-pong balls into beer-filled cups that the opposing team – Harry and Ron – were shuffling across the table. It was all you could do to keep up, attempt to successfully land your ping-pong balls inside the cups, and chug when she told you to. Occasionally she would cheer victoriously, so you supposed the two of you were doing well.

To celebrate Gryffindor’s victory in the Quidditch match played earlier that day, you were playing party games in your dimly-lit common room, clad in a dark red bodysuit, black jeans, and black strappy heels. You were attracting your fair share of attention, and not just because of the eight goals you’d put up that day as a Chaser.

“Heads up, Malfoy’s staring.” Ginny’s voice lilted playfully and you could picture the smirk on her lips even as you struggled to bounce your ping-pong ball into the cup in front of you. Across the table, you heard distinct scoffs from Harry and Ron.

“Relax, boys, you know that blonds aren’t my type.” You wore a smirk of your own as you sank a shot into the cup and passed it back across the table. So long as the male population of Hogwarts stuck to looking and not touching, you didn’t mind the attention. However, you weren't looking for a dance partner, and you definitely wouldn't be searching in the corner where Malfoy and his teammates resided.

“Don’t look back, eye contact with him is liable to turn you to stone.” Ron’s lip curled in displeasure as he glanced across the dance floor, eyes searching until he found Draco across the room. In a less-than-subtle move, he stepped to the other side of Harry to block the Slytherin Seeker’s view of you.

“Very mature.” With a derisive glare, you accepted the cup of alcohol that he slid across the table.

“Yes!” Ginny cheered as she sank a shot before her gaze whipped towards you. “Come on, come on!” Thankfully, your ping-pong ball immediately sank into the cup. “Yes, yes, yes! We win!”

Your mouth fell open in surprise and you leapt up to high-five her. “Let’s go! Take that, boys!”

“Oi, she’s manipulating the rules!” Ron gestured at his sister, who stuck her tongue out at him. “I demand a rematch.”

“Absolutely not, that beer you put in there is foul.” Harry shook his head ardently. “I’m going to go drink anything else.” He stepped away from the table and towards the drinks.

“Ditto.” You nodded in agreement. “Harry, while you’re over there, will you get me a glass of water?” He shot you a thumbs-up as he departed and you turned to Ginny. “Dance floor?” Taking your hand, she strode eagerly across the common room.

You didn’t make it far before you heard a voice calling your name. Sharing a look of exasperation with Ginny for a brief moment, you braced yourself and turned around. In front of you stood Seamus Finnegan with a red cup in his hand, swaying slightly to the music.

“Hey, pretty girl. Great match today.” He winked, running a hand through his hair.

“Thanks, Seamus.”

“Care for a dance?” The fellow Gryffindor shot you what you supposed was intended to be a flirtatious smile, but looked more like a wince in the dim lighting.

“You know me, Finnegan, I'm flying solo.” You brushed off the request with a grin.

He let out a playful sigh. “You’re going to kill me someday, you know.”

“And yet you always come back.” Giving him a teasing wink, you caught up with Ginny, a little swing in your hips. She turned towards you as the two of you stepped onto the dance floor, a knowing glimmer in her eyes.

“Shooting down Finnegan again?” She practically had to shout into your ear to be heard over the thump of the bass that resonated in your chest.

“Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve tried to put that guy out of his misery? Repeatedly.”

Her brown eyes rolled back into their sockets as she scoffed. “Don’t I know it. Corner was the same way until I finally caved. You’ve got the right idea, I’m telling you.”

Around Hogwarts, you had a bit of a reputation for putting guys through the ringer, never letting anyone too close. It wasn’t entirely earned, you had given one boy a chance in the past year or two. Granted, that one guy was Roger Davies, Ravenclaw Quidditch captain and school heartthrob, but so what if your standards were high? Unfortunately, once Roger had left Hogwarts to play professional Quidditch it had proved too difficult to maintain your relationship. That didn’t mean you were in a rush to find someone else, though. You knew your worth, and anyone intent on catching you would need to prove that they deserved to keep you. Until then, you were content to dance alone while they stared after you.

Soon Harry joined you and Ginny on the dance floor. The three of you sang along to the songs blaring over the speakers after you downed your water and a shot of Firewhiskey. With the party in full swing, the dance floor was packed, and you lost track of the world around you. Jumping and dancing to the music was the only thing that mattered, the floor buzzing beneath your feet. At some point, Lavender and Parvati squeezed in next to you, and you soaked in the company of your little Gryffindor girls corner while you celebrated your victory.

“You look so gorgeous!” Parvati eyed your outfit before taking a sip of her drink. “Where in the world did you get those jeans?”

“My sister sent them to me from Muggle London! I’ll see if I can get you both a pair.”

“Never mind that,” Lavender dismissed with a wave of her hand. “You’ll never believe who’s been eyeing you up all night.”

“Lav, unless it’s literally Dave Franco I couldn’t care less.” You reached out your hand, trying to encourage her to dance with you instead of telling you about more boys.

“Oh, I promise it’s good.” She eyed you intently and you let out a heavy breath, reluctantly giving her a nod of assent. Drawing close to you, she leaned over and whispered in your ear. “Mattheo Riddle.”

You froze, your eyes wide.

She looked back at you, grinning. “See, didn’t I tell you?”

Mattheo Riddle was, quite possibly, the most attractive guy at Hogwarts. Unfortunately, the two of you had a rather…regrettable history.

“Well of course he is, this is a great outfit.” Smoothing your jeans, you couldn't quite make yourself believe your words. You were horrified at how quickly your usual self-assurance had faltered at the mention of him.

During your first year at Hogwarts, when you were a shy and awkward new student still trying to plant your feet in the magical world, you’d developed a huge crush on Mattheo. Every time he’d enter a room you were in, it was like he’d stolen the breath from your chest – your voice grew quiet and your hands shaky. You’d never felt such a strong attraction to anyone, and you’d thought that you might die if he didn’t notice you. Though you initially expected the feeling to fade, it only grew stronger until you were spending endless lessons sneaking glances at him from across the classroom.

In your third year, you’d finally summoned the courage to ask him on a date. With a deep breath, you’d smoothed your frizzy hair and your wrinkled school robes as best as you could and approached him and his friends at the Slytherin table during breakfast. Your voice quiet and shaky, you’d asked if he would like to go to Hogsmeade with you. He’d asked you to repeat yourself, and, with your face burning, you’d done so. Then he’d looked you in the eye and laughed in your face, all of his friends laughing with him. By the end of the day, the whole school knew what had happened. It was the most embarrassing moment of your life.

“What are you waiting for?” Lavender’s voice snapped you back to reality and you blinked. “Go over there and flaunt how good you look in his face.” She nodded towards the corner where several members of the Slytherin Quidditch team stood, including Mattheo.

You raised an eyebrow. “If he wants to see me so badly, he can come over here himself.”

She eyed you incredulously for a moment before laughing with a shake of her head. “You’re my hero.”

It was safe to say that you were nothing like the timid little girl you’d been back then. Fourth year was when things really began to change for you – improving your flying skills and joining the Gryffindor Quidditch team had done wonders for your confidence. You’d also grown more assured in your magical skills, discovering a natural talent for Ancient Runes and delving into the world of cursebreaking. To top it all off, during the summer between fourth and fifth year, you and your older sister had started doing weekly self-care nights together and you’d fallen in love with your new skincare and makeup routine. Once you returned to Hogwarts for your fifth year, you seemed to glow from the inside out. You were so content with your little world – your friends, your teammates, your future plans – that you didn’t even notice the stares that you’d begun to attract until the other Gryffindor girls pointed them out to you. Since then, the attention of boys wasn’t something you had to wish for in the Great Hall, looking longingly at the Slytherin table. You could choose to take it or leave it on any given day; it was always available in spades.

One thing hadn’t changed, though. You still avoided Mattheo and his friends, even though you were now in your seventh year at Hogwarts. Though you could occasionally feel their cold stares on your skin along with those of others in class and at parties, you never ventured anywhere near them and they never approached you. When you’d dated Roger, he would wrap his arm around your shoulders and glower in their direction when he saw their eyes wandering, but you didn’t need his protection anymore. Your confidence alone kept them at a safe distance.

This confidence suddenly began to waver as you turned around to continue dancing and saw the occupants of the dance floor hastily parting to make way for a familiar head of curly black hair.

“No way.” Parvati stared at the approaching figure, eyes wide. “Come on!” She pulled Lavender to the side, away from you in an effort to, presumably, make room for Mattheo.

“No, guys, don’t leave, I –” Your protests were futile as they disappeared into the crowd. Spinning around, you frantically searched for Ginny, but saw that she was some distance away now, her arms twining around Harry’s neck. Your stomach sank. There was no way you were going to cross her mind anytime soon. Reluctantly, you turned back around and your chest tightened as you found yourself face to face with Mattheo Riddle.

You let out a deep breath. He’s literally just some guy.

“Riddle.”

A spark of pride ignited in your chest as you heard the sound of your own assured, even voice in the air. You raised your eyebrows, sizing him up. To his credit, he didn’t waver from your gaze.

“Sweetheart.” It would've been flattering if you hadn't heard him call a thousand girls stupid nicknames in passing. His voice was flat and unreadable, and Firewhiskey swirled in the cup he held in his hand. His deep brown eyes swept up your body, sending a tingle across your skin. “Enjoying yourself?”

“Always.” Your ego rose forward in your voice. There was a siren singing in your chest, begging you to dash this man across the rocks if he gave you the opportunity. You were ready to indulge her. “What brings you over to my little corner of the world?" Trying to push down the swirl of emotions in your mind, you took a step towards him.

“Figured you’d prefer my company to Smith’s.” His voice twinged with bitterness as he nodded to your right. You glanced over your shoulder to see the approaching figure of a stumbling Zacharias Smith. Mattheo met your step forward with one of his own, and suddenly he was close enough to touch.

“You sound awfully certain.” Your lips lilted upwards in a slight, amused smile.

“Looking good, gorgeous!” The alcohol-soaked tones of Smith’s voice drifted across the common room over the music. With a smug glimmer in your eye, you saw Mattheo’s frown as you turned towards the Hufflepuff boy instead.

“Feeling good, Zachy!” You stuck out your tongue playfully and he shot you an approving grin. However, your expression quickly sobered as you felt Mattheo’s fingers digging into the flesh of your hips possessively. You had half a mind to smack him, but Zacharias had already changed course away from the two of you. Once Smith had cleared the area, Mattheo turned back to you.

“Zachy?” His low drawl was disapproving as his dark eyes bored into yours. He raised one incredulous eyebrow. Meeting his gaze, you rested a hand on his chest. You didn’t miss the way his eyes darkened as your fingers grazed his skin.

“What?” You eyed him innocently and he scoffed, shaking his head.

“You’re unbelievable.”

Your sweet smile fell like a proscenium curtain. “I should be very believable to you, all things considered.” Fixing him with the same dry glare he was giving you, you looked him up and down. The whole school knew about Mattheo’s tendency to snog a different girl in a broom cupboard every week – he had remarkably little room to judge. “Get to the point or go away, Riddle.”

You were certain that he would pick the latter, and frankly, part of you felt relief at the thought of him disappearing into the crowd. His unexplained presence in front of you, his dark eyes boring into your psyche, his strong hands wrapped tightly around your hips as if he wanted to claim you, though you weren’t his…it was all too much. Being around other guys didn’t feel this way. To your surprise though, he just gave a wry laugh.

“The point was keeping you safe from the likes of Smith.”

You rolled your eyes. “You know perfectly well that I don’t need a bodyguard. I promise some Hufflepuff won’t end me.”

He gritted his teeth ever so slightly. “It’s not about that.”

“Then what is this about, hmm?”

Pausing, he seemed to deliberate before opening his mouth again. “You looked great on the pitch today.”

“Why, thank you.” You gave a nonplussed nod, knowing that he was still holding back. “If you’re in the mood to talk Quidditch, you ought to go have a chat with Weasley. She put up even more points than I did.”

His grip on your hips tightened as he pulled you flush to his chest, making you inhale with surprise.

“Is this all just a game to you?” His hot breath tickled your ear, sending a chill down your spine as his hand rose to your face, his thumb stroking your cheek and his fingers coming to rest on the back of your neck. “You know exactly why I’m here.”

That siren in your chest could feel her desire in her grasp, but it wasn’t enough. You hungered for him to lay all of his cards out on the table, to know the vulnerability you’d once felt every moment you were in his presence.

“I haven’t the foggiest, actually.” Your eyes flicked up to meet his and you fluttered your eyelashes at him. The stormy look in his eyes, as dark as the Black Lake when thunder rang out above the castle, told you that he saw right through your innocent act. Still, he had no choice but to play along or walk away. Lip curling ever so slightly, his hold on you tightened impossibly further.

“You look so good, I feel like I’m going crazy.” His lips grazed your ear imperceptibly, his strained whisper echoing in your mind. "You want to hear it? Fine. That's why I'm here, even though from the first step I took I knew you were going to laugh in my face.”

For a moment, you paused, allowing the victory to radiate through your body like warmth. Yet with it came an anger – at his nerve to even approach, at the fact that his presence had caused memories of your past to come flooding back, at the infuriating arrogance and short temper he’d never managed to shake. Stirring beneath was a fear, too. Though you pushed it down, the desire he awoke in you was agonizing. Composing yourself, you leaned back, hanging off his neck so that you could look him in the eye.

“Aww, Matty.” With a mocking pout, you gently patted his shoulder. “I would never.”

The words hung powerfully in the air despite your banter. No matter how many admirers you kept at arm’s length, you would never act like he did, never stoop so low. As he looked back at you, you could tell that the implication of your words wasn’t lost on him.

“Then dance with me.”

“I would never do that either.” The desire in his gaze quickly gave way to a brief flash of anger as you untwined your arms from around his neck and stepped out of his grip. He quickly hid the emotion under his usual unfeeling veneer. You turned your back on him before looking over your shoulder. “There. Is that settled?”

You could tell he was coming after you before you even felt his fingers wrap around your wrist. Somehow, though, you still felt your body tense with shock when you found yourself pulled back to him.

“Please.”

The simple word seemed to silence the room for a split second. Mattheo Riddle didn’t ask nicely for anything – you wondered how many times he’d used the word in his life and whether he might be able to count them on one hand. But in his voice, wavering ever so slightly, there was a hint of the desperation you’d once known so well, the feeling that only he had ever been able to bring out of you. The word he'd spoken had so many possible implications – forgive me, let me have a second chance, don’t hurt me – but for Mattheo, you knew it had only one meaning. Give me what I want.

Your eyes flicked to his lips, ever so slightly parted, then back up to his deep brown eyes as he pulled you in closer.

“Show me how badly you want it, then.”

fluff | Mattheo Riddle | 💙🫂🦋❄️| Masterlist | Taglist | requests are open

SUMMARY: Y/N demands Mattheo follow her without question, but he only responds with flirtation.

AUTHORS NOTE: Saw this bit of dialogue from the Book King of Sloth by Ana Huang on TikTok and it gave me Mattheo Vibes so wrote this.

The moon was high, casting a silvery light over the dense trees, shadows dancing ominously along the path. Y/N walked briskly ahead, her eyes set with determination, but her frustration was palpable. Mattheo Riddle trailed behind her, his usual smirk in place, clearly amused by her urgency.

"Where exactly are we going, princess?" Mattheo’s voice broke the silence, laced with that infuriating, cocky tone he always seemed to use.

Y/N didn't break her stride, her boots crunching against the forest floor. She threw a glare over her shoulder. "Just shut up and follow me."

Mattheo’s smirk deepened, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He sauntered after her with far less urgency, clearly entertained by her commanding tone. "Yes, ma’am. I love a woman in charge."

Y/N rolled her eyes so hard she could practically feel them in the back of her skull. She didn’t bother responding, knowing he thrived on her irritation. He always had a way of getting under her skin, finding amusement in every little reaction she gave him.

"You know, if you wanted to boss me around, you could’ve just asked," Mattheo added, his voice low as he closed the distance between them. His hand brushed her arm as he fell into step beside her.

"Or," Y/N shot back, not slowing down, "you could just stop talking for once and actually do what you're told."

Mattheo chuckled softly, but said nothing more, the sound of his laughter lingering in the air between them. She could feel his eyes on her, that smirk probably still plastered on his face, but at least he was quiet now. Small victories.

They continued deeper into the forest, and though she’d never admit it, there was something oddly comforting about having him there. Even if he was a pain in the ass.

Sleeping after an argument

mattheo riddle x reader

Summary : you decided not to sleep with him after an argument

In the dimness of his room, you sit on the edge of the bed, your heart heavy with frustration. The walls echo with the reverberations of an seemingly endless argument. He stands, a sharp gaze in his eyes, his poisoned words filling the air.

"Why are you always like this?" you ask, trying to contain your own anger. "Your attitude is toxic, Mattheo. It can't go on like this."

He sneers, an ironic smile distorting his face. "Oh, now it's my fault? You're always the victim, aren't you?"

You take a deep breath, trying to calm the flames of anger rising within you. "It's not about being a victim. It's about mutual respect. You can't keep acting this way."

Mattheo approaches, his presence oppressive. "Mutual respect? Funny coming from you. You just criticize me, judge me."

"Because you act disrespectfully! You constantly attack me, and I can't take it anymore."

He shrugs, disdainful. "If you can't take it, leave. No one is forcing you to stay."

The tension reaches its peak. You stand up, facing Mattheo with determination. "Maybe that's what I should do."

The words hang in the air, heavy with consequences. The room is filled with the silence that follows an argument, and you wonder if this confrontation marks the end of something, or perhaps the beginning of a new dynamic.

Frustrated by the atmosphere, Mattheo abruptly stands up and heads to the bathroom, using the excuse of needing to prepare in there to escape the confrontation. You remain in the room, Mattheo's dark look still echoing in the air. The decision not to spend the night in this toxic atmosphere takes hold in you, and you head to the bathroom as well.

Reflecting in the bathroom, you decide to leave the unresolved argument behind and choose not to sleep that night. The idea of returning to your shared room with Pansy becomes a tempting refuge. Exiting the bathroom, you silently slip through the hallway, deliberately avoiding Mattheo's room.

Meanwhile, Mattheo, after anxiously waiting in the bathroom for some time, starts to worry about your absence. Concerned, he knocks on the door, softly calling, "My love, are you okay?" Faced with your silence, he eventually opens the door, discovering that you're no longer there. Regret fills him as he realizes the impact of his behavior.

Determined to find you, Mattheo heads towards the girls' dormitory, disregarding any rules of decency. His only thought is to bring you back to him, suddenly realizing how crucial your presence is to him.

Upon opening the door to your room, he notices Pansy's absence, but you're there, asleep in your bed, hugging a pillow that was supposed to replace him for the night. Mattheo gently removes the pillow from your arms, slipping into its place. He embraces you tenderly, whispering an "I love you" in your ear, realizing the foolishness of the argument. He holds you tightly, hoping that you'll find it in yourself to forgive him despite the hurtful words he uttered.

As soon as you step into your dorm room, the weight of the day crashes down on you. Your body feels stiff, tense, and achingly tired, and all you want is to collapse into bed and forget about the world for a while. But even as you kick off your shoes and toss your bag onto the floor, you know the stress will still cling to you, burrowing deep into your muscles.

Just as you’re about to let out a long, frustrated sigh, the door creaks open behind you. You glance over your shoulder to find Mattheo leaning against the frame, his dark eyes scanning your exhausted posture with a knowing smirk.

“Tough day?” he asks, voice low and smooth, the familiar rasp sending a shiver down your spine.

You let out a humorless laugh, running a hand through your hair. “You could say that.”

He steps inside, closing the door behind him as he watches you with that sharp gaze of his. But there’s something softer beneath it today, something that shows he’s not just here to tease you. He walks up behind you and rests his hands gently on your shoulders, thumbs pressing into the knots of tension in your neck.

“You’re so tense,” he murmurs, his lips brushing against the shell of your ear. “Let me help.”

You tilt your head slightly, his touch already working its magic, but the exhaustion still weighs heavily on you. “How?” you ask, your voice quieter now, more vulnerable than you meant it to be.

He steps in closer, his breath warm on your skin as his fingers slide down your arms before they settle on your hips. “Lie down,” he says softly, guiding you towards the bed. “I’ll give you a massage.”

A flush creeps up your neck at his offer, but you’re too tired to resist, too drained to pretend you don’t want it. You nod wordlessly and let him lead you to the bed.

“You’ll need to take these off, though,” he adds, his voice taking on a playful edge as his hands toy with the hem of your shirt and pants.

You hesitate for just a moment before you peel off your clothes, leaving you in nothing but your underwear. You’ve been with Mattheo long enough to trust him, to know where this might lead, but even so, the thought of his hands on your bare skin sends a thrill of anticipation through you.

He gestures for you to lie down on your stomach, and you do as he asks, sinking into the softness of your bed. The cool air of the room brushes against your skin, sending a shiver down your spine, but it’s quickly replaced by the warmth of Mattheo’s hands as they begin to move across your back.

His touch is firm but gentle, his fingers pressing into the knots of tension with precision, easing the tightness in your muscles with every slow, deliberate stroke. You can’t help the soft sigh that escapes your lips as the stress begins to melt away, your body gradually relaxing under his expert hands.

“You’ve been overworking yourself again,” he says, his voice low as his hands move lower, kneading into the small of your back, just inches above the swell of your ass. “You need to take better care of yourself.”

You hum in response, too lost in the sensation of his touch to form words. His hands are magic, each movement drawing out a bit more tension, until all that’s left is a pleasant warmth spreading through your body.

Mattheo’s hands glide down to your hips, his thumbs pressing into the sensitive skin just above your underwear, and you feel a flicker of heat beneath the surface of your relaxation. His touch lingers there, teasing, as he leans down, his lips ghosting over your ear.

“Feeling better yet?” he murmurs, his voice dripping with suggestion.

Your breath hitches, and you nod, though you can sense the shift in the air between you.

Without waiting for a response, Mattheo’s fingers slip beneath the waistband of your underwear, tugging them down ever so slightly as his lips trail soft kisses along your shoulder, sending waves of heat coursing through you.

You can feel your heart racing now, your pulse quickening as his hands begin to explore your thighs, his touch more intimate, more insistent. He whispers your name, his voice thick with desire, and your legs open wider ever so slightly in response, silently telling him what you need, what you’ve been craving.

“Turn over,” he commands, his voice rougher now.

You do as he says, rolling onto your back, your eyes meeting his as he looks down at you with dark, hungry eyes. His hand slides over your thigh, fingers brushing up toward your center again, but this time he doesn’t hesitate.

It only takes one short motion, a flick of his thumb, for him to press into the hot flesh of your core. Your back arches sharply upwards at the contact, and he grins wickedly down at you, leaning forward to run his tongue against your throat.

“So responsive,” he breathes. “Does it feel good, sweet girl?”

Your breathing catches at the question, and then you nod eagerly. Mattheo's thumb rubs slow circles over your clit and just as you feel his teeth on the skin of your neck again, his finger teases itself inside you. You writhe beneath him, desperate for more.

“Yes,” you moan, the sound echoing around the silent dorm room. “Please, please, more…”

With a quiet chuckle, Mattheo's finger presses deeper, his thumb speeding up slightly, and you groan loudly, feeling the familiar pressure build up, your entire being thrumming with pleasure. A few moments later, your orgasm hits, and when your body falls limp in exhaustion you hear Mattheo's quiet chuckle as he pulls away.

He lies down beside you, his warm body pressing close to yours. He wraps an arm around your waist and brings your face close to his, his other hand reaching over you to pull the blanket over the both of you. Your lips brush together once before he kisses you, lingering a bit longer than usual.

“Still feeling tense?” he mumbles, a smile pulling at his lips.

“Not anymore,” you reply as he pushes your face towards his neck, his fingers dancing lazily across the small of your back.

-----------

The next week of classes was super busy, stressing you out quite a lot. You hadn’t been able to spend much time with Mattheo, or anyone for that matter.

You and Draco had spent time together but it had been studying. You had midterms coming up next week and both of you were gunning for top of the class along with Hermione. Thankfully, you had a chance to relax this weekend and enjoy the Halloween party. You showered, shaving every part of your body in the process before getting ready, taking up a big chunk of time.

Hogwarts didn’t do a costume party, but slytherin always threw the best rager after the Halloween feast in the great hall. Everybody who was anybody knew about it and it was the best kept secret from the professors, even the ghosts were in on it.

You pulled on a black long sleeve bodycon dress that had a low scoop neckline before putting on strappy, open-toed black high heels.

Your naturally wavy hair was almost dry, leaving it silky and full. 

You apply mascara and a smokey eyeshadow look before grabbing dark red lipstick. You lean over the counter to apply it before hearing a voice.

“Wow, what a view.” You turn around to see Mattheo standing in the door frame with his hands in his pants pockets, a smirk plastered on his face.

You looked him up and down as he did the same with you. He was wearing black dress slacks and a white button down, the top few buttons undone. His hair was perfectly curled, as always.

“Holy shit” you mutter quietly.

“Are you sure you want to go to this thing? We could just stay here and I can get you out of that dress a lot sooner.” He walks forward and wraps his arms around you, landing his hands on your ass.

“Not so fast Mr. Riddle. Even though it’s tempting, I love going to this party.” You coo.

Halloween was your favorite holiday and you hadn’t missed a single one of these parties. You definitely weren’t going to miss your last one.

“God you’re so beautiful.” He replies, staring at your lips, clearly hungry for you.

“You don’t mind me wearing this?” You ask, looking down at your dress and back up.

The shape of the dress revealed all of your curves and the hem was quite short both on the chest and the legs, Theo would’ve minded.

“Nah I can fight. Nobody is going to touch my girl except me.” Mattheo responds, smirking.

“Hmm…” you trail off for a second, “I’m gonna make you work for it tonight.”

“Oh really?” He raises his eyebrows, “we’re playing that game tonight?”

“Yup.” And you back away from him, heading to the door, “and if you win…you can do anything you want” you emphasize.

“Anything?” He asks, starting to follow you.

“Anything.” You blow a kiss as you walk out the door, “see you at the party.”

You walk down to the party and head for the drink table, pouring yourself some vodka as Mattheo comes up and makes his own just a foot over.

He watches you, which you are very aware of as you slowly take a sip.

Draco walks up to you and starts to pour his own drink, “what’s happening here?”

You turn to him, “just a little fun. Wanna play along?”

“Will I end up in a ditch that Mattheo put me in?” Draco asks.

“Possibly but it’ll be so fun.” You reply, smirking, obviously being mischievous.

“Alright, come on.” Draco grabs your cup and puts both of them down on the table before leading you over to a group of slytherin boys.

You knew almost all of them, Blaise present in this group as well, but that wasn’t the point. The point was to make Mattheo jealous and really earn it.

You engage in their conversation, Mattheo watching from across the room. He stood alone, his head bending downwards as he sips from his cup randomly. 

“Is it working?” Draco asks subtly, you look over and see Mattheo staring a hole through you, watching your every move. 

“Yes. Follow me?” You say before the two of you walk back over to the drink table.

You take a shot before slowly wiping around your lip, watching Mattheo in your peripheral vision.

You could tell he wasn’t going to last much longer, he was ready to pounce.

A ravenclaw guy, who you didn’t know, came up beside you, “hey how’re you doing sexy?”

“Oh god.” Draco speaks up from across the table, about to laugh.

“Yeah you might not want to do that…go away” You respond simply. The ravenclaw looks shocked but walks away without another word.

“That was quite the entertainment.” Draco chuckles. You continue to make your drink until you go to look up at Draco but instead see something happening across the room.

Melanie. Melanie Zorra, the girl that Mattheo slept with while trying to stay away from you. She was all over him.

Despite his best efforts to push her away and send a message, she wouldn’t stop touching him. Throwing herself on him, it was honestly embarrassing. You watch them intently, not looking away.

Draco notices your gaze and follows it over to them, “oh shit.”

“What is she doing here?” You ask flatly.

“I don’t know who invited her…” Draco adds, knowing exactly how you were feeling.

You were about to walk over there before he whispers something in her ear. After he backs away, she walks away without another word.

“Ok, screw it.” You say picking up your drink and going over to Mattheo.

“What was that about?” You ask.

“Oh, are we jealous? Does that mean I win?” He smirks.

“Mattheo.” You say seriously, not acknowledging the competition you had going on.

“I told her to beat it. I said that she was a fling and I didn’t want her nor do I care about her.” Mattheo explains quietly.

“I didn’t like her touching you.” You say flatly.

“Baby, come on. She is not a threat, you know that.”

“I know.” You look up at him, staring into his eyes, “I saw you staring at me earlier.”

“Around those guys? Please, I have nothing to worry about.” Mattheo says.

“Exactly.” 

“Are you ready to leave now? I think we’ve had enough.”

“Maybe you have but I haven’t” you lie. You lean into his ear and whisper, “jealous sex is the best sex after all.”

You back away smirking before heading towards Pansy and her group. You hadn’t been interested in the gossip before now but maybe it would drive Mattheo crazy that you were passing on him for this.

“Daphne, I think Blaise likes you! He always gets so flustered around you I swear.” 

“And that isn’t Blaise. He never gets flustered.” You speak up.

“Oh look who’s joining us.” A gryffindor says, as none other than Melanie walks up and sits down across from you. “Mel, I saw you with Mattheo earlier, are you back together?”

You listen quietly, trying not to get involved. You wanted to win the jealousy game.

“Oh well I wouldn’t say that but…he totally has feelings for me.” Melanie claims.

“Really? I knew he looked happier lately!”  the gryffindor responds. Pansy glances over to you, clearly waiting for your response to the lie.

“He was just telling me that he wanted to have sex right here, right in front of everyone.” Melanie adds.

You chuckle, “he has more tact than that bimbo.”

“What?” She asks, noticing you.

“You heard me.” You say, setting your drink down on the table, “Mattheo wouldn’t want to have sex in the middle of a party, let alone with you. He’s more private than that. If you knew him at all, you wouldn’t have told that lie because anyone who does know him, knows it’s not true.”

“Do you have a problem with me?” Melanie asks.

“Actually I do.” You respond, sitting up straighter.

“I’ll catch up with you guys later. I don’t need to hear this.” Melanie says before standing up and walking away.

You follow her, “Hey I wasn’t done with you.”

She stops in the middle of the party and turns around to face you, “did you know that I was the one who was there when he couldn’t stop crying over you? I was the one who he took to bed at night while you were with his “best friend”. Remember that? He will never forget that and when it hits him, he’ll be back to me.”

“Alright that’s it.” You walk up and right hook her, punching her on the nose.

Draco and Mattheo come up and hold you back, “say that again bitch!” You yell as they keep you away from her.

She holds her nose, it bleeding profusely down her face. A couple gryffindors come over and help her up.

“You’re crazy!” She says as she starts crying.

“You’re so fucking lucky.” You say, backing away, twisting yourself out of Mattheo and Draco’s grasp. 

You were livid as you stood there, taking deep breaths, trying to regain your composure.
