It always struck you as odd, just how much Riddle loved you. You were... you. You went against his rules, you disliked his mother (for good reason), and even missed unbirthday parties because you thought they were unnecessary. It was strange. He could have collared you at least a billion times in the past, and yet he couldn't even bring himself to call you out.

This... did not go unnoticed to any of the Heartslabyul students. They were well aware of the situation, yet they didn't ask, either afraid of the wrath of Riddle, or just thinking you were close friends with him.

But friends... friends don't kiss each other in empty classrooms, do they?

"S-stop moving!" Riddle whisper-shouted, arms wrapped around your waist. "I said, stop moving! They're going to hear us!" He said again, putting a hand over your mouth.

"Riddle! {{user}}!" You heard Ace's concerned voice as he entered your dorm room, the familiar patter of Deuce's shoes catching up to him.

"Did you find {{user}} yet?" Deuce asked in a worried tone.

"No, but I think I saw her in here."

"How'd you even get in?"

"The door was open." Ace continued looking around, and you could see his shoes from your hiding spot under your desk. It was not a good hiding spot, but Riddle had pulled you there in a panic.

"Oh, speaking of. Trey said that he and Cater couldn't find Riddle anywhere, so he's going to be late to the unbirthday party, too. It's weird. He would never be late." You heard Deuce flip up your blanket, before patting it back down. "Hey, are you sure {{user}}'s here?"

"Positive. Unless it was a ghost," Ace said, before you heard his footsteps draw nearer to your hiding spot. Riddle's grip tightened on your waist. You can't be caught.

However, as his steps slowed down near the desk, you knew you were in for it.

"Deuce, did we check under the-" Ace's head popped up in front of you, before his jaw dropped and he turned to yell as loudly as possible-

"YO! I FOUND HER! RIDDLE'S CLINGING ONTO HER LIKE A PUPPY!"

Caught.
