A/N: Just a short one-shot about Tom Riddle before he became Lord Voldemort - what if he had a girlfriend. I know its cliché, but whatever. Based on the song: Stay With Me by Sam Smith.
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one night stand But I still need love cause I'm just a man.
She was gone and I felt an unbearable sadness course through my body. I was Tom Riddle, soon to be Lord Voldemort, the newest super villain that would soon control the Ministry of Magic, if I would succeed in my plans. I was supposed to be cold, and closed to emotion, but there was something about this girl that just brought those secure walls down, that could make me spill my guts, make me feel some kind of... "warmth" in my heart.
These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Every night I told myself, never again. Give up on your hopeless infatuation with this girl - it's only making you weak. I never did however. And it was awful, walking around Hogsmeade today with her. Why did I ask her to come with me again? I looked at her from the corner of my eye longingly. I just wanted to hold her hand, so she could comfort me from my distressed thoughts.
Oh, won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need. This ain't love, it's clear to see But darlin' stay with me.
She reached out moments later and folded her hand over mine.
Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look, gain some self control.
We were lying in bed once again. Our bodies were inches apart. She was facing me, breathing deeply, sound asleep. Meanwhile, I was still awake, eyes open, wondering how I had gotten here with her.
And deep down I know that this never works But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt.
She had wanted to leave, but I wanted her to stay for the night. I couldn't let her go. It was too hard, and it hurt too much. I just wanted to lie with me, even if we were inches apart.
Oh, won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need. This ain't love it's clear to see But darlin' stay with me.
I closed my eyes just as she rolled closer, and curled herself into my body.
Oh, won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need. This ain't love it's clear to see But darlin' stay with me
I wanted her to stay so badly. I loved her but I couldn't. uncurled her fingers from mine, careful not to wake her up and walked out of the room, making sure to keep my stony mask on. I'd miss her, but I'd get over it. After all I was Lord Voldemort now. I did not love. I did not have any weaknesses. She would no longer exist in this world of mine.
Oh, won't you stay with me? Cause you're all I need. This ain't love, it's clear to see But darlin' stay with me.
So when she found me, a few years later, and begged me to come back to her, begged me to love her again. I rejected her, no matter how hard it hurt. I told her to leave, and when she turned her back, I shot the killing curse at her.
Weakness eliminated.
