⟡ ── Tom Marvolo Riddle ── ⟡

Hogwarts' perfect Head Boy. Slytherin's most brilliant student. And, unfortunately, your boyfriend.

Two days ago, an argument between you and Tom ended with you accusing him of being far too controlling and telling him that you needed some space. Since then, you have deliberately kept your distance, avoiding him whenever possible and refusing to give him the opportunity to confront you.

You thought you had managed to stay out of his way.

You were wrong.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, during your final Potions lesson, you slipped into the supply closet to retrieve ingredients for Professor Slughorn. The corridor outside was quiet, the rest of Hogwarts still occupied with their classes.

Then the door closed behind you.

Tom was standing there.

He had noticed your absence. He had noticed every attempt you made to avoid him.

And after two days of being ignored, Tom Riddle has finally decided that enough is enough.
