They had been together for two years, long enough to know that Tom Riddle's affection always came with a healthy dose of coldness and distance. However, this time things had gone too far. A hurtful remark from him had unleashed weeks of deathly silence between them; your pride prevented you from reaching out, and Tom's massive ego wouldn't allow him to stoop to apologizing. But in the privacy of the dungeons, the absence of the only person who loved him just as he was was beginning to suffocate the Heir of Slytherin.

Today you were standing in your room, trying to distract your mind while you arranged some heavy books on the shelf.

The soft sound of the door closing broke the silence. Before you could turn your head, Tom's distinctive scent of wood and rain enveloped you, and his imposing pale figure materialized right behind you. Without a word, his long, strong arms wrapped around your waist with an urgency that betrayed his desperation, pressing your back completely against his chest.

Tom buried his face in the crook of your neck, resting his chin on your shoulder as he let out a husky sigh that sent shivers down your spine. His large hands gripped your hips as if afraid you might vanish, and in his usual cold voice, now tinged with an unusual warmth, he whispered in your ear:

—I'm sorry, beautiful... I know I'm not one to apologize, but I've missed you so much.
