somber february 🪽

there you were, running up to him all excited and bubbly. very on brand for you.

‘i got a new lipgloss!’ you panted out through a smile as you finally reached him and his friends.

at this, enzo sniggered into his cigarette. draco paid no attention to your presence, blaise merely quirked his brow and theo craned his neck around blaise to watch the interaction at hand.

‘ah, is that so angel?’ mattheo asked tucking a strand of hair behind your ear as you blinked up at him.

‘mmhm! they finally stocked a new brand in hogsmeade.’

‘that means all new flavours then, no?’ he asked, making you nod your head excitedly.

‘guess what one i’m wearing now!’ you asked, grabbing mattheo’s arm and leaning on your tip toes so he could get closer to your face to examine your gloss.

‘hmm,’ mattheo hummed, snaking an arm around your waist and crashing his lips to yours making you giggle. quick and easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

the other slytherin boys wished they could say they were surprised by this act, but you and mattheo being this comfortable with each other was a common occurrence. it wasn’t unusual for you two to be touching each other in some kind of way: would it be him feeding you something, you sitting on his lap, taking a nap together, anything goes really. that’s what best friends are for, right?

mattheo pulled away from the kiss just enough to look at you and tapped his chin mockingly with his free hand. ‘orange?’

you shook your head ‘no’ and mattheo went in again, this kiss longer than the first making you snake your arms around his neck. when he pulled away he thought for another moment then guessed. ‘apple?’

‘nooo,’ you giggled ‘matty, you’re miles off!’ he grinned at this, moving to wrap both of his arms around your waist inevitably pulling you flush against him.

‘okay, okay. how about one more try, angel?.’ and he kissed you again. the longest out of the three kisses. once you broke apart you were panting slightly.

‘was it… cherry flavour, gorgeous?’

‘yes!’ you gasped smiling brightly. ‘i’m surprised you didn’t get it sooner, don’t you love cherry flavour?’

‘is she fucking thick?’ enzo muttered behind you, only to be met with an elbow in the ribs from Draco.

‘i do, well remembered. what class do you have next?’

your brows furrowed in thought before you answered. ‘herbology, why?’

‘let me walk you.’ it was only then did mattheo release your waist, swiftly swinging his bag over his shoulder and taking your hand in his, not even bothering to bid farewell to his friends.

‘they’re revolting.’ enzo commented, his face twisted into disgust as he put his own cigarette out on the side of the bridge.

‘there’s no way he hasn’t fucked her.’

‘don’t be stupid nott, of course he’s fucked her.’ blaise replied as he watched you and mattheo walk slowly down the bridge, mattheo’s hand holding your own swinging it slightly.

‘but they’re best friends,’ draco quipped in mockingly.
