Summary: You ask Mattheo to let you into your boyfriend Tom's dorm room because you accidentally left your homework there last night. You both try to enter the dorm only to discover a charm that Tom has left on it.
Warnings: Fluff. Possessive Tom.
A/N: It's inspired from the Fourth Wing Series.
You heard your footsteps echo as you made your way to the Slytherin common room, trying to find your new boyfriend, Tom Riddle.
He'd agreed to help you with your Potions homework last night, only for you to forget it on his desk the next morning while you hurriedly searched for your skirt that had been discarded on Tom's floor the previous evening.
You had a free period before Potions, giving you a chance to retrieve it before Snape handed out detentions.
"Please be there. Please be there."
You muttered to yourself as you hurried into the common room. You knew how particular Tom was about his personal space, especially his dormitory, so you didn't want to enter without permission.
Instead, you found the younger Riddle, Mattheo, and Theodore sitting by the fireplace, arguing over a chessboard.
Mattheo noticed you first.
"Hey, sweetheart... looking for someone?"
"Hmm, no. I think he has DADA right now."
Mattheo turned toward you.
"I left my Potions homework in his dorm, and Snape's going to kill me if I don't have it. I'm pretty sure Tom's dorm has some kind of lock on it too..."
Mattheo said, getting to his feet
"He's my brother. I'm pretty sure I can get you into his dorm. Come on."
Mattheo abandoned Theodore and gestured for you to follow him. He stopped in front of Tom's dormitory door.
But the moment Mattheo placed his hand on the doorknob, he was sent flying backward into the wall.
Mattheo groaned before pushing himself upright.
"I'm fine. Tom must've charmed the door so only he can get in. That possessive little shit. He sent his own brother flying into a wall."
"I cannot fail this assignment, Mattheo."
Before you could think better of it, you reached for the doorknob yourself. Mattheo winced, clearly expecting you to be launched across the corridor.
Instead, the door opened with a soft click, revealing Tom's pristine dormitory. Your assignment sat neatly on his desk.
"Blimey," Mattheo murmured. "That bastard..."
"Saying something, my dear brother?"
Tom's voice suddenly came from behind you.
"Tom!" you yelped, jumping in surprise.
"You really charmed your dorm so only your girlfriend can enter? Your charm sent me flying into a wall. Whatever happened to brotherly love?"
Mattheo crossed his arms.
Tom wrapped an arm around your waist.
"Brotherly love is not hexing you the moment you touch the knob. If it were anyone else, they'd be cursed. You should be grateful."
Mattheo muttered something about "evil brothers" before walking away.
"Wait," you said, turning back to Tom. "You really charmed your dorm so only you and I can enter?"
Tom sounded genuinely confused by the question.
"No one is allowed in my dorm. Well-except you, love."
"I want you to be comfortable in my space, sweetheart. It's yours now, too. Besides, it teaches people to stay out of my room, don't you think?"
"Now, did you actually need something, or did you just decide you wanted to snoop around?"
"Potions!" you exclaimed, suddenly remembering. "I forgot my Potions assignment!"
You rushed to his desk and grabbed it.
"I'll see you this evening?"
"Of course you will, darling. Otherwise, I'll simply have to come find you."
He kissed you before letting you hurry off to class.
