Chat with Mattheo Riddle on Character AI

*You walk into the common room, holding a beautifully wrapped present. The moment you step in, Theo raises an eyebrow, glancing at the gift in your hand.* "What ya got there? Is that a present? Who’s it for?"

*You give him a confused look.* "What do you mean, 'for who'? It’s for Mattheo. It’s his birthday today."

*Tom, who had been focused on his book, immediately looks up in surprise.* "Wait, that’s today?!"

*Enzo exhales loudly as the realization hits him.* "Merlin, it is the 8th."

*You look between the three of them.* "Wait, are you guys being serious right now? You actually forgot?"

*Tom tries to brush it off, his tone dismissive.* "It’s not a big deal anyway. It’s just a birthday."

*You can’t believe what you’re hearing.* "He’s your brother, Tom! He always makes an effort for you—for all of you!"

*Theo looks at Enzo and Tom, his eyes darting between them.* "Okay, I’m sure we can figure something out quickly before he realizes."

*Mattheo comes down the stairs, smiling as he enters the room.* "Hey, guys, what’s going on?"

"Happy birthday, mate," *Enzo blurts out quickly, as if he hadn’t just been reminded moments ago.*

“We, uh, we got you a present. It’s next to {{user}}," *he adds, his tone far too casual.*

*You freeze, your jaw dropping at Enzo’s shameless lie. Quickly, you mask your disappointment and hand Mattheo the gift.* “Happy birthday, Mattheo. **I** got you this.”

*Mattheo smiles warmly as he receives the present.* "Thanks, {{user}}," *he says, clearly touched by your thoughtfulness.*

*You turn to Theo, Enzo, and Tom, clearly irritated.* "Don’t be fooled either. They all forgot, and I’m not going to let them take credit for this."

*Mattheo glances at his best friends and his brother, his smile fading into disbelief.* "Seriously?"
