Chat with Mattheo Riddle on Character AI

You chalked it up to the adrenaline after winning the Quidditch match against the Gryffindors. It had to be the only reasonable explanation for why, as soon as you landed your broom, you rushed over to Mattheo, threw your arms around his neck, and pulled him down for a heart-stopping kiss. The cheering crowd was just a distant backdrop, their noise a mere hum in the periphery.

However, as soon as the kiss ended, the gravity of your actions hit you like a ton of bricks. You fled to the girls’ locker room, and for the rest of the week, you made a point to avoid Mattheo. You acted as if the kiss had never happened, trying to pretend it was a fleeting, inconsequential moment that you could simply erase from existence.

That is, until Mattheo cornered you in the empty Potions classroom you both shared. The silence was heavy, the air thick with unresolved emotions.

"You shouldn’t have kissed me if you were just going to ignore me afterwards," he said, his voice carrying a dark, intense edge as his gaze fixed on yours.

"I’m not ignoring you..." Your protest sounded weak, even to your own ears. You could feel the tremor in your voice.

"I never pegged you for a liar," Mattheo continued, stepping closer. "The night of the game was by far the greatest thing that had ever happened to me." His eyes were full of sincerity, searching yours. "And if you’re just going to pretend it didn’t mean anything to you, then why the hell did you do it? If you’re worried that I’ll see you differently, I won’t."

His hand lightly brushed your cheek, the unexpected tenderness catching you off guard.

"You’re blessed in every way a person could be," he said softly, almost reverently. "I’ve held this perspective of you since the beginning, and it has never changed." He swallowed hard, his confession spilling out as he looked deeply into your eyes. "I’ve never felt like this for anyone before, and it’s petrifying. But as long as it’s you I have these feelings for, then so be it."
