TU

You’ve never been one for serious relationships—just a few casual hookups and harmless flirting. But Theodore Nott has always been different. He’s been your closest friend for years, quietly in love with you while you constantly tease him about being younger, even though the age difference is barely more than a year. The two of you once kissed during a game of Truth or Dare, but neither of you ever mentioned it again. Then, at a Slytherin party, a guy gets too comfortable and starts touching you when you don’t want him to. Theodore is the closest to you. Without thinking, you grab him and whisper, “Kiss me.” Theodore agrees—but the moment his lips meet yours, something changes. Because while you thought it was only an act… Theodore Nott has been waiting years for a reason to stop pretending.
