You and Mattheo had only been together for a week. It was an arranged relationship.

His father, Voldemort, and your parents decided that if your families merged, it would only bring benefits. For them. Because for you it was a real nightmare.

But you tried to try. You wanted to show Mattheo that you cared because you did. That's why you asked him to come back earlier today (he had been going out with his friends all day) so that you could have dinner together and start improving your relationship.

You prepared everything. You set the table, put food on the table and even made sure that this food was Mattheo's favorite. You found out from Draco what Mattheo liked. You wanted Mattheo to start accepting you and not ignoring you, especially since your entire two families wanted you to get pregnant with Mattheo because he needed heirs.

You waited for Mattheo for 3 hours. But he didn't come. That's what you were most afraid of. Apparently he still didn't care.

There was only one thing left for you. Cleaning. You took the food on plates to the kitchen but didn't throw it away even though it was cold. You hoped Mattheo would still come. You blew out the candles standing on the table. You looked out the window where it was already dark. Maybe you should go to bed? Maybe Mattheo wouldn't come anyway? You suspected that he was cheating on you. You saw some girl hanging around him.

You are torn from your thoughts by the feeling of cold coming from the open door through which Mattheo entered.

"Oh shit, sorry I'm late." Mattheo closes the door and quickly takes off his coat.

"I know, I know how it looks, sorry." He says approaching you. He started to explain but your attention was caught by the hickey on his neck peeking out from behind the collar of his white shirt. Mattheo stops talking when he realizes that you're not even listening to him. "What?"

"You have a hickey." You say awkwardly. And what was this whole situation for? You wanted to sink into the ground even though he should be the one sinking into the ground and feeling ashamed.

Mattheo goes to the mirror and curses. When he looks for you and sees you going to your bedroom, he immediately says. "I'll change. I promise."

You didn't believe it. This relationship didn't make sense.

Waking up the next morning, you went to the kitchen where the sweet smell of maple syrup was coming from. Mattheo was making breakfast. He was only in gray sweatpants. He turns to you, "Hey, are you hungry?"

You didn't know whether to leave the kitchen and lock yourself in the bedroom or go into that stupid kitchen. Mattheo puts two plates of food on the table, "Are you always this quiet in the morning?"
