• Failure.

"Tom, It's okay. I promise. You're worth more than a mark on a test that doesn't mean anything."

"Y/n. You don't understand. I got 5 marks less than I did last time. Did I not study hard enough? Be honest."

Tom says, clearly stressed and... very upset.

He had gotten 92 on a test that he got 97 on last time. And now, he needed support, not just being told that it's fine. Y'know?

"Baby, it doesn't matter how much you study. If you're too hard on yourself, you'll get stressed and forget."

"Bu-"

"Tom. You're the best student in this whole school and a bad mark for you, is one of my best marks. I'm not making this about myself, but I'm just tryna say that you have no reason to feel like this."

"Thank you. Really. I just with I got a little more. I feel like I always wanna be the best. You get it?"

"You are the best. At everything." I say, and I mean it.

"Let me show you something else I'm good at." He said, winking and picking me up and taking me to bed as I laugh.

• Disappointing.

"You like it? I thought it might've disappointed." He chuckled nervously.

"Draco, stop. I love it." I say, hugging him tight before sitting on the grass and taking a strawberry.

He had planned out this really cute date; a picnic in the park under the stars. We've been a little caught up in our own lives and I was so happy when Draco came up with this idea.

"You could never disappoint me. Ever. You're always good to me and I love you. Hm?" I say, smiling at him and shuffling closer when he sits next to me.

"You mean that?"

I always reassured him every time I could, but he still was hesitant about anything he did and how anyone would react.

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. No doubt. Now open up." I say as he chuckles and opens his mouth for me to feed him a chocolate covered strawberry.

That was one of our best dates.

• Lonliness.

"You're not mad at me? Promise?"

"Baby. I promise."

Enzo was worried that I was still upset with him because of earlier.

This girl that was pretty nasty to me was starting to... flirt with him. Lirenzo didn't flirt back, but he chatted with her for a little, not knowing that she was a little mean to me.

I had told him, honestly a little uncomfortable because I knew how she was like and he she was with her words.

He got scared that I was genuinely like really mad at him, but I wasn't. He's said to me before that the only thing he doesn't wanna lose me for, is something dumb like this.

So, I understand his worry but it's all fine and he would never lose me because of jealousy or something of the sort.

But he definitely did worry about losing people in general.

He was stuck with me for life though.

• 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢 •

• Being weak.

Slytherin had just lost a Quidditch match and Blaise wasn't happy at all.

He had shown up to practice every day and I dare say that he was the most well prepped out of the whole team.

He walked out of the changing rooms and he wasn't even angry; he wasn't one to get in fights. He was more sad, I could tell.

"You okay?" I say, coming into him dorm with snacks after a few hours of letting him cool down.

"Fine." He says, pursing his lips and turning to look at me.

"It's okay, hm? You know that you're the best player on the team and there's always next tim-"

"Y/n, I'm fine. It's fine. I'm fine." He says the last part quietly, coming up to me and hugging me hello.

"You don't always have to be fine all the time, y'know?" I say, chuckling and cupping his cheek a little.

"What else would I be?"

"Blaise. You can be sad, it's not gonna kill you." I say softly, kissing his cheek.

"I love you. I'll try, it's just... hard."

I nod in understanding and I do understand; it can be hard to show emotions, but we can work on it.

• Rejection.

Theodore and I have been talking for like 3 months. It might not be a while, but we really vibe and really know eachother.

He had reassured me time and time again that I would be his soon, but he wanted to wait.

I think and am 100% sure that he might have some reservations about my reaction.

But little does he know, I wouldn't think twice before accepting to be his girlfriend.

"I'm just scared of... you rejecting me. Like, who knows if you actually like me?"

"Let me prove it. Ask me. The last thing I would ever even dream of doing is rejecting me."

"Really?"

"No doubt." I say, smiling and cupping his cheek. I'm sitring on his lap as we have a deep talk in the astronomy tower as Theo opens up to me.

I understood his caution, but from then on, I definitely showed him my love more and reassured him more.

• 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 •

• Moving on.

Mattheo had been through a few things in his past and he was really strict on the fact that those things had truly shaped him.

He had a girlfriend before me; it lasted 5 months so it wasn't that long. Compared to our 2 years, anyway.

His father was very rough on him as a child and he was very... tough. He didn't show much emotion to people but was a very good person.

He thought that if he moved on; forgot about his past, he would change as a person and that was not true.

"It's okay to move on. You know who you are and no one can take that away from you."

I say as Mattheo vents to me about this. He's very open with me, I've earned that trust.

"But, I don't want to change as a person. I feel like what happens... defines me and I don't wanna move on."

I kiss his cheek and stroke his hair.

"You're Mattheo Riddle. No matter what happened in the past, you will always be yourself and that is more then enough. It's completely up to you to move on, but just know I'll always be by your side."

And that was true.
