the monster within

“Hi, sorry. Can I interrupt you for a moment?”

“I swear, I’ve actually not done anything wrong this time.”

“What do you think all cats are super evil?”

“Yes, I was almost murdered by a cat once. Several cats actually. Astrid’s cats hate me.”

“Because I don’t tolerate anyone on Mondays, Mondays are the Devil’s day.”

“Not even Lucas?” He waggled his eyebrows.

Blast to the Past || Astreo

Theo was bored. World literature was probably his least favourite class, and as much as he didn’t want to go, he kinda had to. His attendance was shit enough already. His head was resting on the desk, his eyes barely open before he heard a familiar voice, causing him to jump. “Huh?” At her words, his lips formed into a smirk. “Well I don’t usually skip classes but what the hell, I don’t fancy being eaten alive.” He replied, words from when they first met still fresh in his mind as he stood.

“They’re not all evil. Cole took care of my cousin’s Bearded Dragon. I am sure he can help take care of a baby owl. My parents are supervising hardcore.” He gave a soft chuckle. “They will be fine.”

“Nope, they are all evil. Super evil.”

“On most days, not all though. I struggle with being able to stand you on Mondays.” 

“Mondays? Why Mondays specifically?”

“It’s okay, I’m sure I can find a way to return the favor.”

“Wait, what?”

“I know, thank you. I just don’t really know how to talk about what happened, or even if I should.”

“I know, but sometimes it helps, when someone understands.”

“Because I believe that.”

“Hey, slytherin’s can be innocent!”

“Then you’re just going to have to live with no kisses from me until I shave it off in your sleep.” Astrid joked.

“Um, rude. You can’t just shave off a man’s beard.”

“Coffee, some food and more coffee,” she smiled, covering her mouth as she yawned. “We could just go exploring?”

“Fair enough,” Theo chuckled, quickly ringing room service for food, tea and coffee. “Sounds good to me, or I mean, we could just sleep all day. That’s fun too.”

“I think it’s best you continue to pretend,” Astrid teased.

“Love you too, babe, love you too.”

“I’d be more surprised if you remembered me entirely considering the amount of alcohol you had in your system.”

“I was surprisingly good at holding my liquor. I do apologise for my behaviour though.”

“Aw! My cat is actually being nice and helping take care of the baby owl. OH! And my parents sent me snacks.”

“Your cat is what? But, it’s a cat. They’re evil.”

“I’m sure you weren’t expecting to see me around here anytime soon.”

“Oh, hey! It’s you. I vaguely remember you.”

“You’re a Slytherin, having a smug expression comes with being sorted into the house.”

“Valid point, but still, I plead innocence.”
