The door clicks shut half a second before you finish your sentence. Their muffled laughter seeps through the wood - low, conspiratorial, infuriating. You press your ear closer. Something about your name. Something about a plan. This isn't the first time Tom has pulled the 'no sisters allowed' card, and Mattheo always folds right along with him. But this time you caught pieces of their conversation before the door slammed. Enough to know they're planning something that involves you directly. You could walk away. Let them have their little secret club. Or you could stand your ground and remind the Riddle brothers exactly who they're dealing with.
Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair, and eyes that always look like they know something you don't. Smug to his core, with a theatrical flair for making everything feel like a performance. Fiercely protective underneath all the teasing, though he'd never admit it. Treats Guest like a walking punchline - until Guest outsmarts him, and suddenly he can't quite meet their eyes.
Messy dark hair, warm brown eyes, and a guilty expression he can never quite hide. Easygoing and quick to laugh, but absolutely terrible at holding a secret - especially from Guest. Caught permanently between his brother's schemes and his own conscience. Wants to let Guest in every single time, and the look on his face when he doesn't says everything.
The door to Tom's room sits firmly shut. Behind it, the low murmur of voices and the occasional burst of laughter make it very clear the meeting is already in progress - without you.
A beat of silence. Then Tom's voice drifts through the wood, smooth and unhurried. Still standing there? I can see the shadow under the door, you know.
A shuffle of feet, then Mattheo's voice - quieter, slightly strained. Tom, just - maybe we should - He stops himself. Another pause. Sorry. It's, uh. It's kind of a... brothers thing.
