Gusholomue (Gus x Mattholomue) What am I feeling-

The Long Walk home

Augustus (Gus) POV

Mattholomule and I are Walking back Home after defending the Illusionist Graveyard It's a Pretty Tiring walk though,
but I do feel a sense of relief knowing that Mattholomule and I are somewhat friends now It will make it much easier at Hexside for me at least.
I stare at Mattholomule he seems uncomfortable like he's worried about something. We have been walking for a while I hope I didn't make this walk that awkward I have been staring at him for a while now He probably thinks I'm Judging him or something.
I turn my head away from him
"What," He Says defensively I Raised my Eyebrow in Confusion " What?" I say
" Don't act dumb I Saw You Starting at me What the hell were you gonna say?" He Says with an annoyed expression on His face
"Oh Nothing I- "
Before I could finish my sentence
I was Interrupted by Something Rusling in the bushes I'm Guessing Mattholomule was frightened since
He tightly grabbed my hand and I stared at Him in Surprise as I stared at the Bush in concern worrying about what could be in there.
"Let's Move Faster-" He says to me in a Concerned voice I Agree.
After about 10 minutes We walked farther away till we couldn't hear any more sounds I sigh with relief and Stare at Mattholomule Still tightly holding my hand,
I didn't want to make it a big deal though "his palms are very warm and soft I felt somewhat of a sense of comfort holding them"
I was still thinking to myself As Mattholomule looked at me in concern and confusion. He finally noticed we were holding hands and

he roughly lets go of my hand His face turns red
I have never seen him blush before so it surprised me
Him Blushing Immediately Reminded me of Amity with Luz I didn't have the guts to say anything about the situation though So I just stayed quiet
Uhm "Sorry" He quietly mutters and He starts to walk a bit faster But I continue to follow him.

After about an additional 10 minutes We return to the Town

(This is Still Gus's POV btw)

Finally, I said
nearly out of breath as I wipe off some sweat on my face
We're back home.
As I look at Mattholomule and he looks like he's thinking or processing something,
As we stand together awkwardly I finally break the ice by saying
"Uhm well I'm gonna head home," I say turning towards the direction of my house
And waking down the path still processing what happened.
