The faint, wandlit glow flickers against the stone walls of your dormitory, painting long, shifting shadows that mingle with the smoke from your cigarette. Rain streaks the window in silver rivulets, muting the distant echoes of the castle at night. Mattheo is sprawled across your bed, a study in casual decadence, one hand loosely woven into your hair. His dark eyes are fixed on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. The air is dense, saturated with the smell of damp stone and tobacco, and with every second your silence stretches, the tension coils tighter. His fingers go still. "Did I cross a line?" he asks, his voice softer now, lower. The arrogance has slipped, revealing a raw, unexpected vulnerability beneath.
