---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You had started school when Tom was in his 4th year, and you were in your in your 3rd with Harry and ever since Tom took a glance at you in school, he could not stop this feeling he gets when he sees you thinking it makes him weak, so he tries to ignore you as much as possible

As the days which turn into weeks than months you had constantly felt like someone was watching over you and had eyes on your constantly, but you didn't think much of it thinking it was just people staring at someone else, but you were in their general direction of who they were looking at

You had heard gossips that Tom was protecting you, but you didn't believe them due to the fact you heard Tom is a very reserved person and has a group of his followers with him but other than that he stays by himself, but his eyes are glued to you every so often but not when he's near people

As you've been through school you've had 3 boyfriends that didn't get too serious due to the fact they always die not that far into the relationship, and you soon figured out that he was the one doing it, so you decided to confront your theories

"Hello Riddle" you spoke out as you sat in front of him in the library since he was studying for whatever lesson since you didn't seem interested

"Hello L/N what do you need from me?" he asked writing something down before giving you his full attention as he shut the books after marking the page down, he was currently on

"Are you the one killing my boyfriends?" you asked bluntly but could sense the slight fear in case it was true causing him to look at you shocked for a few seconds before composing himself since he didn't think you would ask out right and that you found out about it

"And if I was what are you going to do about it? Your mine and I should do what's right to make sure people know that" he replied calmly as he looked at you in a slight possessive manner

"And since when did I become yours? When you looked at me at potions which when I first saw you or when I first heard about you because that was halfway into my 4th year" you pondered a bit teasingly since you had a crush on him regardless

"Who cares when your mine" he growled slightly making you chuckled and pecked his cheek in a loving manner

"Whatever you say Thomas" you replied before ruffling his hair and walked off holding your bag strap blushing darkly making Tom look at you with a proud smirk but didn't like the fact of the new nickname only tolerated it for you since it made you happy

For the past few weeks, you had been calling him that as well as other nicknames but he threatened anyone else who did and every time you went past him whether it be in the hallway or in lessons you ruffled his hair to mess it up but he didn't adjust it straight away unless it was someone else and people started to talk and you faked any knowledge of doing it and Tom told them all to mind their own business

You never openly asked each other because you didn't like how demanding about how it sounded so you kept rejecting him and for you well you were too shy to ask him since you knew he had to have a crowd around him, so you didn't want to be embarrassed if he said no in front of them to act cool so you both just kept acting the same

Another few weeks by of constant teasing until you decided to sneak out one night to catch him on his patrols and luckily, he was alone, so you silently followed him

"I know your there its late" Tom muttered not bothering to look at the person following him not knowing it was you as you both continued walking, but you huffed slightly at his rudeness

"Will you go out with me..." you asked after you stomped your foot in annoyance but hid your face in your hands after you spoke so he wouldn't see your blush

"Of course, I would've gone out with you for the past 4 weeks, but you kept rejecting me and you never really asked me till now" he replied after he turning on his heal to face you and spoke before he walked towards you so he a step away from you

"Well, you kept asking me, but it sounded rude and demanding so I rejected you and your always with your group when I wanted to ask you and I didn't want you rejecting me in front of them to act cool or whatever it is these days..." you spoke out starting to ramble before Tom lifted your chin up and kissed you softly but seemed a bit rough

"I don't care what my group thinks your mine and that's how it is and will always be" he replied softly making you blush more at the gesture

"But won't they judge you for dating a Hufflepuff since you're a pureblood Slytherin?" you questioned tilting your head cutely making him squinting his eyes at you trying not to give in to your big doe eyes

"I don't care your mine and they have to deal with me, and I won't be nice about it" he replied as he waved his wand in front of your face smirking

"don't hurt them...I know you do...just threaten them unless they put a hand on me" you tried to counter offer his so that he would at least agree with you

"Fine" he grumbled at the thought but agreed just to please you making you smile brightly at it, and you shyly pecked his cheek softly before moving to walk off, so you didn't disturb his patrol, but he grabbed your wrist lightly and pulled you back and kissed you soft but sweet making you blush darkly and kiss back by resting your hands on his chest lightly before slowly pulling away

"Goodnight princess" he purred softly before kissing the top of your head softly making you nod shyly

"G-Goodnight, Thomas" you whispered and stuttered slightly before rushing off to your dorm embarrassed about what happened but happy that you finally got to ask him out without problems

For the past few days Tom had threatened a few people who had even looked in your mere direction and started to harass a certain Hufflepuff with brown hair who constantly wanted your attention even though you out right rejected him when and before he even asked

When he asked you to join his army and get the dark mark put on your arm you flat out refused not wanting any tattoos on your body so you both compromised with his Slytherin horcrux necklace and a custom-made dark mark bracelet to prove your loyalty which some would disagree on it, but he would put them in their place even if they wouldn't turn up the next day which you hit him for, but he paid no mind to it
