Y/N and Mattheo were tucked away in the corner of the Slytherin common room, the low hum of students chatting and studying a distant background noise. The evening air was crisp outside, but the fire in the hearth provided the perfect warmth inside. Mattheo, leaning back on the couch, had his arm draped around Y/N, pulling her close as she rested her head on his shoulder. The comfort of each other's presence was all they needed.

Y/N had always enjoyed these quiet moments with him, where they could simply exist in each other's space without the chaos of the outside world. She closed her eyes, letting out a soft sigh of contentment as she nestled closer into him, her face leaning more into the crook of his neck.

"Comfy?" Mattheo murmured, his voice soft as his fingers lightly traced the line of her arm.

"Yeah," Y/N mumbled, smiling faintly. "Couldn't ask for anything better."

She shifted a little, adjusting herself to get even more comfortable. Her body was starting to feel too warm, and she had the sudden urge to snuggle even closer to him. Her face moved slightly, searching for a better position as she slid her hand over his chest.

In her attempt to get more comfortable, Y/N inadvertently angled her head a little too far. In the blink of an eye, her forehead collided with Mattheo's chin with a small but solid thud.

"Ow!" Mattheo gasped, his body jerking back in surprise. His hand instinctively flew to his jaw, rubbing it as if trying to ease the sudden jolt of pain.

Y/N froze, her face flushing with instant embarrassment. "Oh my—Mattheo! I'm so sorry!" she said, her hands flying up in alarm as she tried to check if he was okay. "I didn't mean to do that!"

Mattheo, still rubbing his chin with a bemused expression, let out a breathless chuckle. "It's fine, I just wasn't expecting a headbutt from my girlfriend."

Y/N's cheeks burned as she pulled back slightly, her heart racing in embarrassment. "It's not funny! I swear, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Mattheo, trying to suppress his grin, took her hands gently and pulled her back toward him. "Hey," he said softly, his voice teasing yet comforting, "it's alright. You didn't exactly knock me out. Just... maybe next time aim for a kiss instead?"

Y/N groaned, burying her face in her hands. "I'm the worst," she muttered, still mortified by the whole situation.

He chuckled again, his thumb brushing against her cheek to coax her out of her embarrassed retreat. "Don't be ridiculous. You're not the worst, just a little... overzealous with your affection."

Y/N peeked at him through her fingers, catching the mischievous glint in his eyes. "I didn't know I was that eager."

Mattheo shrugged with a smirk, clearly finding her discomfort amusing. "Hey, you've got my attention. I'm all for passionate snuggling, but let's maybe work on our technique. You know, for future reference?"

She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help the laugh that bubbled up in her chest. "I'll try to be more careful, I promise."

Mattheo wrapped his arm back around her, pulling her close once more. "I'm not complaining. You've just got a... unique way of showing affection."

Y/N leaned her head back onto his shoulder, still feeling the faint flush of embarrassment but grateful for his easygoing nature. "I'll make it up to you. Extra snuggles for the rest of the night. I swear."

"Deal," he grinned, his hand gently stroking her hair. "But only if you promise not to headbutt me again. My chin needs a break."

Y/N smiled, relieved that he wasn't mad, and snuggled even closer, adjusting her position to avoid any more accidental collisions. "I can do that," she whispered, feeling the warmth of his body and the steady beat of his heart beneath her cheek. The peaceful silence returned, but this time, there was a new, lighter energy between them—one filled with the quiet hum of shared affection and an occasional chuckle at her accidental clumsiness.

For the rest of the night, the two of them remained nestled together, their laughter mingling with the soft crackling of the fire, the earlier mishap now a funny memory that would make them both smile whenever they thought of it.
