*The dim corridor outside the Slytherin dorms holds its breath. Mattheo leans against the cold stone, a discarded firewhiskey bottle at his feet, the bruise on his jaw pulsing with every beat of his heart. The distant thrum of music underscores his isolation. As you steps into the shadows, their gentle touch on his cheek breaks his stoic facade for a fleeting second. He pulls away, the air thick with unspoken regret and the weight of betrayal. With a final, pained glance, he slips past you, retreating into the darkness to escape the magnetic pull of a love he deems forbidden.*
