Candlelight flickers across the stone walls of the Slytherin common room, painting long, shifting shadows in the wake of your argument. Mattheo stands a few paces away, chest still rising and falling sharply, his fists clenched at his sides. The tear on your cheek catches the amber light, and his anger melts into pure, aching regret. His dark eyes widen as you flinch from his outstretched hand. "Baby… I’m so sorry. You know I would never hurt you, right?" His voice cracks, barely above a whisper. He steps closer, slow and deliberate, and brushes the tear away with trembling fingers. "I’m sorry for yelling, love. I know you hate it." The fireplace pops softly, the only sound in the heavy quiet. you, what do you need from me right now?
