Rival!Lorenzo when he finds you crying in the bathroom at a party, as another boy had been yelling at you.

✊️🫠

Oooh i think i just creamed my $8 thrifted pants

Okay so lets just accept Rival as every sense of the word. Starting from the beginning you and Lorenzo Berkshire have just not gotten along! It actually began on the train, when you sat down in a compartment, only to be rudely interrupted by this 6foot man built like a twink telling you to get the hell out of “his spot”. And let me tell you, Enzo is not very threatening looking, but the way he glared down at you sent shivers through your whole body. And not the good kind. From there it blossomed into academic rivalry, maybe unfriendly competition, glaring at each other from across DADA, shoving better marks in each others faces. and gods forbid you play quidditch. Full contact trying to knock you off your broom to your death🙏

And i’m gonna be real with you. Boys are mean to people they like. And oh boy, while it takes a long fucking time, Lorenzo is SMITTEN. Irrevocably so. In fact, he’s so smitten that he gets meaner. I’ve talked before about how Enzo reminds me of an 80’s movie bully. This is where that comes in. He is PHYSICAL and willing to risk a detention to see your cute little face angry at him from the floor.(he wants to hate-fuck you so bad, but he doesn’t really hate you, and now he’s confused).

Countless hexes and pranks and tricks and the worst of it was when he spent 3 weeks writing anonymous love letters to you as a secret admirer, told you to meet him in the library after dark. He got you hella detention, tipping Filch off to your breaking of curfew. You dumped two full glasses of pumpkin juice on his head the next morning. He took it like a champ(he figured it was deserved for playing with your heart, although each compliment he wrote in those notes was from the bottom of his heart.) and for the first time, you two laughed together. (Later that day you found out that your ink had been charmed to turn invisible every time you wrote. You threw a balled up sheet of parchment paper with an invisible “fuck you” written on it at him.)

If anyone didn’t hear the way you speak to each other, they’d assume you were an item. Lorenzo’s friends have taken to calling you his girl/boyfriend/partner. Lorenzo doesnt correct them anymore.

With that little context out of the way, let’s flash forward to present day!

Lorenzo’s a little on edge, unable to relax on the sofa with his buddies. He feels the high in his body, slow and buzzing, but he felt completely sober in his head. His eyes kept drifting towards you. You looked nice tonight, absolutely glowing. Maybe it was the lighting. He didn’t care. He liked to watch you smile. And he liked to watch you laugh. And he liked the clothes you wore. And he liked the way you flipped him off with a grin when you saw him across the room. What he didnt like was seeing you dance with this… this nobody! It made his blood boil. And god when he whisked you away, Enzo almost bolted to his feet. He had to play it off to Draco, who tried to follow his gaze.

The world seems to move around Enzo in 2x speed while he sat still. He laughed when his friends laughed, and he spoke but couldn’t remember what he said.

He only broke out of his stupor whenever he heard your name strung together with some other words in his ear.

Lorenzo’s head whips around fast enough that he almost headbutts Pansy Parkinson in the face.

“What?”

“I said they’re in the bathroom crying. What did you do?”

And Lorenzo doesn’t even remember when he got up from the sofa. He doesn’t remember Draco bitching at him to come back. He doesn’t remember shoving people out of the way. He doesn’t remember opening the bathroom door. He just remembers how sad you looked, trying to dab away your tears in the mirror.

“What happened?”

“Nothing.”

“No, I’m serious. What happened?”

And you’re quiet when he approaches you. He doesn’t remember when he grabbed the paper towel from you. He doesn’t remember when he reached up to hold your cheek so gently in his hand. He just remembers the wide eyes you gave him as his thumb wiped away tears, and he dried your wet face. He just remembers how hard his heart pounded in his chest when you closed your eyes, crying even harder as you pressed your hand over his.

He remembers when you spoke to him.

“It’s really nothing. I just thought this guy actually liked me but… he just…” and he continues to wipe your tears away as they fall again, “Its just embarrassing. Yknow? That I thought he actually liked me and it wasn’t just for sex.”

Lorenzo doesn’t remember pulling you into a hug, but he remembers the way your hair smelled. The way you shook in his arms. The way your breathing slowed as you calmed down.

“Can you answer me honestly, Lorenzo? Why don’t people like me? What is so unlikeable about me?”

And Lorenzo remembers his heart shattering in his chest. He remembers the wide and confused eyes you gave him when he answered. He remembers the cute blush spreading across your face as you processed his words.

“Nothing.”

Anyways!!!! Idk if this is what you had in mind! I was originally going to write a fight but I had a rough day at work and needed some fluff in my life<3 i kinda deviated from your idea but im gonna keep this in mind more. thank you so much for rival lorenzo tho, im kinda obsessed with him.

BAND TOGETHER

✧. ┊ summary: your rival is in a band ✧. ┊ character(s): blaise zabini, draco malfoy, lorenzo berkshire, mattheo riddle, pansy parkinson and theodore nott ✧. ┊ warnings: mention of alcohol consumption ✧. ┊ word count: 847 ✧. ┊ author note: it's a day late. verry sorry

masterlist. & 100 follower celebration

BLAISE ZABINI

✧. ┊ Blaise was a guitarist in the band. Your relationship wasn't exactly a good one but you respected each other. You were surprised one of your friends was a fan of said band.

✧. ┊ All in all their music was pretty good and you ended up listening to their songs. That's what you were doing in the library, when Blaise interrupted you.

✧. ┊ "You like my voice that much," he just had to interrupt you as one of his rare solo parts came on. For weeks he didn't let you live it down. He visited you after class and shoved a ticket in your hand. Didn't say anything else.

✧. ┊ He couldn't keep his thoughts straight. You are listening to his voice. Well, songs but same thing. The scene kept replaying in his head. Do you like him? Does he like you?

DRACO MALFOY

✧. ┊ You were in rival bands. Known to dislike each other. Most of your songs containing lines to make fun of the other band. What you didn't expect was finding Draco in your dressing room.

✧. ┊ "What are you doing here?" He didn't say anything as he made his way to you. Stopping right in front of you. His expression is unreadable. "I wanted to ask you out on a date."

✧. ┊ Your head was spinning. Your rival is asking you out for a date. What has the world come to?

✧. ┊ Draco didn't really hate you. How could he? You were talented, great, caring and just awesome. He had to ask you out if he'd end up waiting for too long. He didn't want to regret not asking you out sooner.

LORENZO BERKSHIRE

✧. ┊ Lorenzo was trying to impress some girls with his guitar skills. You rolled your eyes as they swarmed around him. A sensible person would run in the other direction. "I could do better."

✧. ┊ "Try," he heard you, passing you the guitar. Everyone was looking at you but then the gryffindors crashed the party. Saving your ass.

✧. ┊ "I still wanna hear you play," Lorenzo insisted. A few days after the incident, Lorenzo asked you to play him something. You prepared in advance and asked one of your friends to teach you something simple.

✧. ┊ he was mesmerised, watching you play. He isn't sure why he feels like that. He hates you, doesn't he?

MATTHEO RIDDLE

✧. ┊ You had gotten drunk at another slytherin party. Barged into a random unoccupied room. To find a drum set and decided to fool around.

✧. ┊ Mattheo stumbled in with a girl in his arms. Confused once he spotted you on his drum set. Ignoring the girl he'd been making out with a moment ago.

✧. ┊ "What are you doing?" You stopped. Looked around finally realising this was Mattheo's room. "Sorry, I d-didn't..." you left the room. Letting them continue what they were doing.

✧. ┊ Mattheo was so confused. Why were you in his room? Why didn't it bother him? He cornered you. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't think it was your room and I was drunk."

✧. ┊ "Would you like to learn how to play?"

PANSY PARKINSON

✧. ┊ Pansy was a great singer. You randomly found out she was apart of a band. You can't deny her singing capabilities. You can't stand her but she is talented.

✧. ┊ You decided to go to one of their shows. It was a small venue. You still hoped she wouldn't see you. Just your luck as soon as she got on the stage, she spotted you.

✧. ┊ She kept looking at you while singing certain parts of songs. You thought she hated you. Clearly you thought wrong.

✧. ┊ After the show she came up to you. "What did you think?" She'd placed her hands on yours. "I...um loved it?" You were uncertain what she wanted to hear your opinion on. "Yeah?"

✧. ┊ Pansy didn't realise her feelings for you until one of her friends pointed them out. What she thought was hate was actually love? She couldn't deny it anymore.

THEODORE NOTT

✧. ┊ "What's this bullshit," you found Theo in the courtyard writing. You assumed it was an essay or something but it was lyrics. You grabbed his notebook and started running. "Is it about a girl you're madly in love with?" He chased you as you read the lyrics. Slowly coming to the realisation that they were about you.

✧. ┊ "You can't come up with a better title than I hate you, die," he took back his notebook and ignored you for the rest of the week. "Hurt, I read your little diary?" He threw a paper at you. You read the top 'I hate you, die'. The lyrics had been reworked to include a certain event. Despite this the song was a love song. He loved you?

✧. ┊ Love and hate can be mistaken for one or the other and Theo knew he loved you. He just didn't know how to say it. Words left him when he was around you. He felt like a fool. It was a dumb idea but he did it anyway. Writing a song for you.

Thanks for reading!

can you see right through me...? ||>> Lorenzo Berkshire

summary :

No one seemed to notice how off Y/n has been these past few weeks, no one but Lorenzo Berkshire. He somehow noticed every little detail when it came to the girl who absolutely despised his whole existence

brief mentions of ed, fluff, comfort, mentions of sh, academic rivalry

›(for my academically burnout girlies! I think I got too carried away...)‹

lover masterlist !♡

⤷ : : YANNA'S MAP .. : :

Y/n Y/l/n, deemed as one of the Model students of Hogwarts. The school of Wizardry, and Witchcraft. She was much above, and advanced compared to the average Student of Hogwarts.

Yet no matter how above, or advanced she was seen as, she will never be as best as Lorenzo Berkshire. generally, and academically everything. He was always managed to be one step ahead, or maybe even beside her

Even of how much effort she put, trying and trying.. it never seemed to be enough to outweigh the bitterness she continues to feel at the mere thought of that boy from Slytherin. Who doesn't even realize how much his presence, and performance affected the girl mentally, and physically

---

Y/n sat silently in the corner of the library, alone. As everyone was already in the Great Hall, eating their meals filled with delight, and talking with one another almost having no worries about failing academically, or even failing anything. How Y/n dreaded just to feel what a normal teenager should.

Instead of being out for lunch, like everybody else, she buried her face deep into the book she read. Flipping through each pages, skimming through all of them carefully, her eyes wide as her attention was only focused on the book. While she also ignored the growl of her stomach yearning for her to eat, The obvious shaking of her hands, and the dizzying exhaustion her whole body felt, except her.. how could she even have the appetite to even eat, sleep, or even rest knowing she doesn't deserve it?

No matter how starved she got,

No matter how much sleep she loss,

along with her blood, and tears, she knew none of it was worth it enough to bring her head out of the books, and to show herself Infront of everyone. What would all of them think to see a once so beautiful soul, then gradually ravaged inside, and out all because of greediness, pride, and envy?

As for a few minutes of Y/n lost in the wonders hundred pages the book included, she was quickly snapped out of her thoughts as she heard familiar shoes, walking in the quiet library, along with a few voices, she recognized one of the voices vividly. it was no other than that Slytherin she 'despised' the most, Lorenzo Berkshire

She immediately closed the book she held shut, and picked up all of the other books that was scattered Infront of her, then, she picked up her test papers and her potions notes scattered everywhere, some even slightly wrinkled due to her tight, and rough grasp on it

Y/n then slung her messenger bag over her shoulder, which included the rest of her supplies, Then she somehow managed to stand up with a swift manner. Brutal waves then came crashing over her body after she did so. Her legs then began wobbling as she tried her best to stand up, as her vision went black for a few seconds after she stood up Her breath quickened, after she felt her chest tighten, her carelessness suffocating her roughly.

She tried to brush off the overwhelming sensations she felt over her body, and tried her best to make her way out of the Library. Taking peeks of each corner, expecting to see Enzo. She shook away her thoughts, as she placed a hand on her temple while she looked down on the cold floor that caused the loud pitter patter of her shoes, a sign of her presence.

Lorenzo, along with his friends all lingered around with each corner of the Library, his presence haunting Y/n with each step she took..

Just as she was about to exit the Library, to study else where. Somewhere far away from everyone. Her whole body collided with another person, she looked up, her e/c eyes widening at the sight of no other than Lorenzo Berkshire who looked at her, with nothing but concern, and confusion at the sight.. he immediately noticed her eye bags, and how she got even paler the last time he saw her.. along with her demeanor, it was off to say that least.

"Y/l/n? you alright?" Lorenzo immediately said, as he first glanced over at the girl who just stared deeply into his eyes, their gaze lingering on each other's features..

Y/n then quick snapped out of her thoughts, and widened her eyes as she realized what she was doing. She took a few seconds to process what Enzo said and nodded quickly, her breath fastening as the time slip through their fingers.

"I'm doing fine, Berkshire." She replied with an obvious bitter tone, Lorenzo raised his eyebrow at the obvious lie of the girl who was obviously not fine

Enzo leaned closer to match Y/n's gaze

“Really, Y/l/n ? I don't think you skipping meals, and losing sleep is 'doing fine.' don't even get me started with...” He nodded his head over to Y/n's wrists, which she quickly covered by hiding them through her books, and other belongings..

She cleared her throat, and now avoided looking at Enzo. “Those are nothing, I just had.... Errands.” She muttered with a softened tone, yet loud enough for Enzo to hear. but of course, it was an obvious lie. Enzo could tell just by her tone, and expression...

“Merlin, what do they make you do so you could achieve such deep cuts?” Enzo scoffed, clearly not buying whatever lie Y/n could thought of. He wasn't dumb, of course he wasn't. That's what Y/n hated about him, he was just so... perfect... Ughhh!!! what was she thinking?!?!!

“i-it's none of your business! Leave me alone, Berkshire!” She snapped, and tried to move pass Enzo who's blocked her way with one eyebrow raised, and with his arms crossed.

He shook his head, he may seem very annoying right now. But he was just concerned for a fellow.. 'classmate' afterall. “Y/l/n, tell me what's wrong, what's gotten into you?” Enzo furrowed his eyebrows as he asked her, his lips pursing afterwards.

what's gotten into you?!

what's GOTTEN into you?

what's gotten into YOU?

y/n?

those exact words rang into Y/n's ears, seriously. what's gotten into her? why was she so caught into being better than... him? ..why?

"There's nothing wrong with me, Berkshire. There's nothing up with me!” The girl responded defensively, as she tried to maintain a low voice..

She shook her head continuously, as she tried to steady her breathing. Why was she being like this? Y/n gripped on her books tightly, as she desperately tried to move past Enzo yet it was no use..

Enzo let out a sigh softly, stepping a little closer to Y/n, yet still respecting her personal space. Even though he just wanted to held the girl in his Arms, and tell her everything's going to be fine, and she wasn't at fault for her behavior..

He opened his arms, welcoming Y/n into an embrace as he saw how distressed, and.. paranoid she looked. The girl noticed, and let her shoulders that were once so tensed relax. She placed down the books she held that were once covering her wrists by an empty shelf, and accepted Enzo's invitation for an embrace..

It was embarrassing. Y/n felt embarrassed. As she quietly sobbed in the chest of he, who she hated the most. he, who was the main reason why she was like this. She felt guilty, and ashamed of herself. “..'m sorry.” She apologized out of the blue, her voice was muffled with her quiet sobs, along with how tight Enzo held her..

“for what?” He asked with a much more softer tone, after he's realized Y/n was mentally breaking down... He began to caress the back of Y/n's head with his thumb, muttering soft 'shh's' to somewhat calm her down

“for being... selfish.” she responded and hid her face deeper into Lorenzo's chest, yet Enzo couldn't understand on what she meant by.. 'being selfish'.

“...I don't understand, Y/l/n.” Enzo noticed his friends and silently plead them to go without him just by his gaze..

“Y/n. Call me Y/n.” She mumbled, as she tried to calm her heavy breathing.. “a—and.. the only reason why I'm like this is.. b—because I couldn't handle the fact that you were just so much.. better than me.. -she let out a sigh in embarrassment- I just don't understand how you're great academically, in quidditch and even as a person. I don't know why I'm acting like this, 'm sorry. Berkshire,”

Y/n stiffled with a frown, just now realizing how careless she's became with her health..

Enzo was taken aback by Y/n's words, mouth slightly agape as his cheeks warmed up. She thought he was... better than her..? Y/n Y/l/n thought that he was... great..?

“Y/n.. you're genuinely one of the best people I've met. believe it or not, but really.. don't ever think so low of yourself again, because you're much... much... better than me” Enzo smiled softly, meaning each word he's said.

“and really.. I don't mean the words I've said to you before, just noticed how pissing you off was the only way to be noticed by you.” Enzo admitted with a sheepish smile, embracing the girl tightly letting her somewhat rest.

Y/n hadn't realized how long it's been since she felt relaxed, without having to think of her academics.. she smiled lightly to herself. “you're really an idiot, berkshire.” she joked, as she finally let her eyelids close shut..

“call me enzo from now on..” he whispered, and intertwined his fingers with hers. adoring the sight of Y/n finally getting her well deserved rest, with him as the reason..

following on from this. not to always bring marc into everything (sorry marc) but if assen 2015 had happened against jorge, valentino would have very likely pulled something similar again imo. rather than what he actually did, which is approach marc almost immediately for a nice normal friendly handshake and backing off during the podium celebrations. should be noted that during laguna seca '08, valentino was very much committed to yapping at casey on the podium with the world's biggest smuggest grin on his face

partly that disparity is because jorge not marc was the direct title rival, partly it's because valentino was treating marc with kid gloves right until the second that he wasn't, which marc was seemingly entirely oblivious to. if anyone other than marc had said what he said in that presser, had then continued on with similar rhetoric during sachsenring, valentino would quite likely have gone nuclear. he's done it over less than that. his fondness for marc made him continue to exhibit uncharacteristic restraint... except that fondness unfortunately is what left valentino feeling so very betrayed when (to his eyes) marc could not leave well enough alone
