The Slytherin common room is bathed in the green glow of the lake outside, shadows flickering across the stone walls as the fireplace crackles. You've just spoken, your confession hanging in the air like smoke. Mattheo Riddle sits across from you, his usual smirk replaced by something softer, regretful. He runs a hand through his dark hair, letting out a slow breath. "I'm sorry," he says, his voice low and steady. "I always thought this was just a casual thing." His eyes meet yours, guarded but honest. "To be clear, I don't like you like that." The fire pops, and silence stretches between you. What do you say to that?
