Despite (unfortunately) being in class together all day, Theo doesn't notice anything different about Mattheo until after quidditch training.
Mattheo collapses onto the common room couch, Theo rolls his eyes but follows suit on the chair beside him. A few first years scurry away, the two of them barely bat an eye.
Mattheo rubs a large hand over his face, his sore muscles straining against his shirt. It's then Theo notices the dark black ink decorating his hand.
"What the fuck is that?" Theo asks, squinting his eyes.
"What?" Mattheo plays at nonchalance, a bored expression on his face.
"Those... are those fucking stars?" Theo says incredulously, leaning forward to touch the pretty little stars decorating his hand.
"Fuck off." Mattheo swats at his hand.
"Did your girl draw that on your hand or something? How the fuck has it not smudged?"
"Want a closer look? I can bring my knuckles real close to your face." Mattheo snarks.
Before some real bickering can begin, they're interrupted by a squeal.
"You're back!" The sound of heels clicking against the floor increases, it sounds like a drum roll.
A lazy grin tugs at Mattheo's face, one he barely bothers to conceal, when you practically leap into his arms. You wrap your arms around him, tucking your head on his shoulder.
"Hi." You say with a smile as you blink up at him. He readjusts his posture so that he's sitting up against the back of the couch, arms slung over your shoulders.
"Hi baby." He says, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. He leans his head down lower and places quick kisses across your face, you laugh and squirm in his arms.
You don't know if you'll ever get used to having Mattheo like this — soft and affectionate — no matter how long the two of you have been together. It's deeply unsettling, honestly. So far from the violent and cold-hearted boy you feared years ago.
Theo is sure he'll never get used to it, though. He pretends to gag, drawing your attention to him. You roll your eyes at him.
"What? No 'hi baby' for me?" He teases, just to get a rise out of you and Mattheo. It works.
"Watch it." Mattheo quips, but it's absentminded as his attention is solely on you. He watches you smoothen out your skirt before you rest your legs on his lap, he tugs the hem of your skirt down and rests his head on yours.
"M'just teasing, principessa" He drawls, Mattheo glares at him.
"Hey, we talked about the italian nicknames." He says.
You soothe your hand over his arm. "No but, Matty, I like that one."
Theo smirks. "See." Mattheo rolls his eyes.
"What principessa wants, she gets." Theo continues, "Besides, I can start calling you principe."
"I'll slit your throat." Mattheo deadpans, you open your mouth to add a retort but opt to close your mouth instead, shaking your head.
Whatever snarky comment Theo was going to retort back with dies in his throat when he watches your hand interlock with Mattheo's. Like puzzle pieces, the tips of your fingers align perfectly with the stars on his hand.
"Holy shit." Theo says, stunned — not for the first time in the long span of you and Mattheo's relationship.
"What?" You tilt your head, giving him a quizzing look. Mattheo sighs, knowing what's coming.
"You got a tattoo for her?"
You blink before you realise what he's so surprised by, you glance down at your interlocked hands and smile when you see the tattoo.
"Oh, that tattoo." You say casually, playing with your hair with your free hand.
"Oh? Oh? That's all you have to say?" Theo says in disbelief, "You two are barely eighteen, how did this happen?"
"I'm older than you." Mattheo says.
Theo rolls his eyes. "Obviously not my point."
"Okay, calm down." You say with a laugh. "We got a little drunk last week and decided to do it, it's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal? It's perma— hang on." Theo narrows his eyes at the two of you. "Did you say 'we'?"
You simply slide your hand away from Mattheo — much to his dismay — and show off your own hand.
On the back of your hand are identical stars, though smaller and more intricate.
"Cute right?" You say, Theo gapes. You shrug. "I think it's really cute."
Without waiting for him to snap out of his shock, you simply interlock your hand with Mattheo's again before settling against his chest, closing your eyes. Theo looks over at Mattheo and gives him an incredulous look.
Mattheo is Theo's longest friend, he knows him. While everyone might think this little impulsive act of devotion is on brand for Mattheo Riddle, he knows him better than that. By permanently marking himself for you, he might as well be carving out a permanent space in his heart just for you to rest in for ever.
Theo raises his eyebrows. Damn. He mouths. You're serious.
Mattheo looks down at you and a faint smile appears on his lips, he looks back at Theo.
I've been serious. He mouths back and Theo knows it's true. Even when you and Mattheo were just friends, way before you two started dating, he knew his friend was gone for you.
Those little stars are nothing but proof of a kind of love most people only get once in a lifetime. It's the kind of love that softens Theo's normally very scary friend as he clings onto his girlfriend in the common room.
It's the kind of love that makes Theo want to throw up (from jealousy or genuine disgust, who's to say?)
