After class, Mattheo approaches you, a hopeful look in his eyes. "So, are we doing something after class today?" he asks.

You smile at him, feeling a flutter of excitement. "Of course, I don't have any plans yet."

Mattheo smiles back, his expression brightening. "Great, I'm already looking forward to it."

Moments later, you feel a pair of hands cover your eyes. "Theo?" you question, turning around to see him standing there. You give him a giant hug, surprised and delighted. "I thought you weren't going to be back in town until tomorrow."

Theo grins, wrapping his arms around you. "I came back a day early because I missed you," he says softly, kissing you.

"Cara mia, I hope you don't have any plans yet because I want to see you later," Theo whispers, his eyes filled with affection.

You glance over at Mattheo, who is trying to keep a brave face. "Go on, it's okay. He's your boyfriend," Mattheo says, giving you a small smile.

"Thank you," you tell Mattheo, appreciating his understanding.

Theo pats Mattheo on the shoulder before you and he walk off together. Mattheo watches as Theo puts his arm around your waist, a pang of longing in his chest.

"Stupid," Mattheo mutters to himself. He knows he shouldn't have feelings for you like this, but he just can't help it.
