Slytherin Boys Short Story's

Them still caring after a Break-up.

Hello!

I would like to point out that I have tried to recreate the boys as best I could in the relevant situations. To be honest, this version is very delusional, because probably none of them would really still be interested in their ex if there was a reason for the break-up.
If you don't like it, just don't read it. I really put some work into it.
Also, a serious trigger warning! Please don't read if you don't feel comfortable with it or can't handle it.

• Social withdrawal / depression (Mattheo)
• Violence (Theodore)
• Eating disorder (Regulus)
• Suicidal thoughts (Draco)
• Self-harm (Enzo)
• Overworking (Blaise)
• Severe chronic illness / depression (Tom)

Mattheo Riddle

It's been a while since you and Mattheo Riddle parted company. You had loved each other, but the relationship had become toxic, something you in particular had been warned about.

Who would be foolish enough to enter a relationship with the Dark Lord's son? Who would take the risk of ending up either with a broken heart or maybe even dead?

Well, it was you. But you didn't see yourself as foolish, naive, stupid, or whatever other people might comment on the situation. You knew it had been the right decision to give someone who didn't have the best reputation, who might seem intimidating to most people, the chance.

Just because it didn't work out didn't mean it was a bad decision. Mattheo had never done anything bad to you, you just argued a lot and you couldn't deal with his jealousy and possessiveness anymore.

Despite everything, you never thought it would hurt so much.

It had been two months since the break-up. You had withdrawn for two months, closed yourself off a bit, kept yourself hidden. Your social life suffered as a result, that much was certain, but you didn't care. You didn't want to talk to anyone or see anyone.

Your friends were worried about you, and your withdrawal didn't go unnoticed by your professors, and your grades suffered too.

Mattheo also noticed that. He didn't want to admit it for a while, but he was worried, and there were quite a few of those worries.

He came to see you one afternoon and knocked on your door. You didn't answer, the door was locked, but he didn't expect anything else. He used his wand and opened the door and entered your room. You were sitting on the bed reading a book, or at least you were trying to. Your face was pale, and you had circles under your eyes, which were also red and swollen. You didn't look well, and you were crying.

Mattheo's heart tightened at the sight, but he didn't say anything at first. For a moment, you just looked at each other. Mattheo spoke first.

"What's... going on?" he asked. He felt like the last idiot, it was obvious what was going on. And yet, he didn't know where to start.

"What's wrong?!" you asked, almost stunned, and stood up, throwing the book to the side.

"Calm down, I just wanted to-" he began, but you interrupted him.

"What? What did you want Mattheo? Rub salt in the wound?" you were almost shouting, and Mattheo flinched a little. But then he got angrier too.

"Fucking hell Y/n! Can you shut up for a second?" he shouted back.

He paused briefly and breathed harder to calm down again. He ran his hand through his hair. "It's not just hard for you okay...?"

"Yeah, sure. But you can't tell by looking at you." you mocked and fell back onto the bed.
