Matt x Mark + Oneshots

Overprotective Boi

Mark's Pov📚

Matt and I were at a party. It was one of my work parties.Cigarette smoke and the smell of beer lingered in the air.

I looked around at the chaos around me. Matt was somewhere in the children's section, away from the madness. While I stood in the corner, I drank a cherry wine. I preferred tea, but this was better than nothing. 

I sat down my empty glass and peeked my head into the children's section. Matt was nibbling on a cookie while scrolling through his phone. I smiled and walked toward him. Matt hated cigarette smoke and alcohol. He preferred the smell of apple juice and chocolate chip cookies.

Matt looked up from his phone and stuck out his tongue. "You smell awful!" I chuckled and ruffled his hair. "Sometimes I wonder if you're a kid stuck in an adult's body." I reached over and drank all of his apple juice. "Hey!" He grabbed the cup out of my hand and glared at me. "You're mean! Why am I dating you?" I snickered and took a cookie. "Because you got bored of looking at yourself and decided to actually date someone other than yourself." Matt gave a small whine as he pulled out two jugs of the juice. "I got plenty more anyway!"

I rolled my eyes and walked behind him to the books. I was reaching for a book when another hand reached out for the same book, touching my hand. I looked over. "Oh hello, Lindy." Lindy was one of my co-workers. Lindy yanked her hand back and smiled. "Hello, Mr. Rudman..Fancy seeing you here." I held back an eye roll. I hated when people referred to me as my last name. "Just call me Mark!" I bowed, making us both laugh.

Me and Lindy chatted for a few minutes. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and noticed Matt was gone. Probably went to get more cookies. I was about to go look for him when Lindy's hand took my mind. I stared down at it, slowly getting uneasy. I didn't like being touched unless it was by Matt. I shifted my attention to look at her. "Um...Is something wrong?.." Lindy looked around and lowered her voice. "About that ginger guy..." I figured she was talking about Matt. I laughed nervously. "Matt? He's-" 

Matt suddenly appeared behind me and linked his arm through mine. "What are you talking about, Markie Darling?" I felt my face turn red as Lindy let go of my hand. She gave us a quizzical look. "Nothing of your business. Mark, are you okay? Your face is red.." I nodded and looked over at Matt. His face was calm, but I could tell he was ticked off at Lindy's attitude towards him. 

I felt an arm around my waist as Matt pulled me to his side and kissed my cheek. "Well then, if you excuse us, we have somewhere else to be that doesn't have desperate gold diggers like you. And keep your hands off Mark, or I'll beat you to Japan!" I wanted to melt into a puddle. I have never seen Matt act like this. Me and Matt walked off, leaving Lindy standing there in disbelief.

When we got outside, I slapped him playfully. "Why were you so rude?" He looked down and kicked the ground. "She should know better." He kissed my hand and that was all he said. And that was all I needed.

Lindy never spoke to me again. I think she was afraid Matt was lurking around the corner. Which was true. Matt camped out on top of the bookshelves, silently just watching Lindy. The only time he comes down is when I'm on break. 

But all I know is that I never want to make Matt upset.
