Stay - Mattheo Riddle

Brother of The Year Award Goes To...

Mattheo felt the world stop turning as the girl fell completely limp in his arms, "no no no no. You're okay, hey listen to me y-" he couldn't hold it in anymore as he broke down into sobs at the sight of his lifeless lover in his arms. 

Harry and Ginny ran over to them quickly and Harry fell to his knees next to his sister and the boy who was holding her

"T-this is not happening" Harry choked out and went to grab his sister from the Slytherin's arms but Mattheo pulled her away from her brother and glared at the boy with a fiery hatred. "You disgust me. You didn't even care, you just ran off to that pathetic girl while your sister was laying here dying," Mattheo snapped 

Harry was at a loss for words as tears streamed down Mattheos face, a look that he never could have imagined on the 'cold-hearted' Slytherin

"You're a shitty brother," Mattheo repeated, shaking his head in anger

"n-no your wrong, i'm a gr-great brother" Harry choked out but Mattheo just let out a sarcastic laugh as tears fell down his cheeks and he held the girl tighter against his chest, "I will make you pay for this" Mattheo growled and then suddenly there was a small tune echoing through the chamber and Fawkes landed next to them, "go away you stupid bird" Mattheo growled as it got close to the girl, as if it were inspected her, but then it began to cry, and the tears dropped onto the girl

Mattheo sucked in a deep breath as he waited for something to happen, but the girl didn't move, her skin only went colder and colder. "Please wake up" Mattheo begged her, "please wake up Kirra, I need you," he begged and begged, the hope in his eyes slowly beginning to fade

Then suddenly, the girl's chest slowly began to rise and fall and moments after that. Mattheo choked on his sobs as his breath got caught in his throat.  Her eyes slowly opened and met his chocolate brown ones. He let out his breath and a small laugh of disbelief, at the sight of her emerald green eyes.

"Oh thank Merlin" he exclaimed and sat her up before he rapidly pulled her right back against his body. Her arms slowly wrapped around his neck unsurely but then she gripped onto him like her life depended on it, closing her eyes as she squeezed him tightly against her.

She pulled away from the boy and smiled up at him with a big grin on her face. Slowly, she placed her lips on his for a few seconds and then pulled away, "Let's just get the hell out of here so I can beg you and Nott to sneak into the kitchen with me and eat a bunch of food" she said with a small smile on her beautiful lips which were quickly regaining their colour

"I thought I lost you" Mattheo whispered out to her softly, "You died. You were going to leave me" tears were still falling from his face and her joke hadnt seemed to brighten his mood like she intended it to

She wiped the tears from the boy's face and shook her head softly, "I'm sorry"

"Promise me" he commanded softly

"What?" she asked, her face contorting to a look of confusion

"Promise me, that you will never leave me" He said firmly. 

She nodded her head, but both of them knew that there was a chance she wouldn't be able to keep that promise, no matter how hard the two of them tried

"I promise"

"Right, how about we get out of here" Harry said awkwardly, he didnt know what to do, he expected his sister to be more excited to see him than she was Mattheo, but it was clear who she was more excited to see, though could he blame her? Afterall, he had forgotten about her and left to go check on Ginny who was clearly alright while his sister laid in the arms of one of his enemies, dying.
