scars and stars (matt sturniolo x y/n)

"i like you"

i run through the hallway and down the stairs as fast as possible without slipping. then, i yank the front doors open.

"holy fuck these things are heavy," i say and the triplets laugh at me.

"WOAH THIS IS A FUCKING CASTLE," Chris yells.

"CHRIS LANGUAGE," Nick warns.

"oh pft no it's okay! my mom, brother, and i swear all the time," i say as they walk in.

"so we can swear all we want?" Matt asks.

"yeah 100%" i answer, "so i'll give you guys a house tour but i haven't seen everything yet so it's kinda like a house tour for all of us, if that's okay."

"oh my god yes," Nick says.

"okay follow me," i say, leading them through the staircases.

"these are the stairs that go upstairs, obviously," i start.

"no really? i thought they went to mcdonalds," Chris says.

"uh Chris?" i ask.

"uh huh?"

"why don't you shut the fuck up please," i say and Nick and Matt start hysterically laughing. Chris on the other hand started being quiet.

"so these are the elevators that i discovered like 2 minutes ago," i say, gesturing to the elevators on both sides.

"wait how many floors are there?" Matt asks.

"3 but i've only been on 2 so far so i have no idea what's on the third floor," i say.

"you're telling me you live in a house that you've only seen 2/3 of?" Nick says.

"i've lived here for like 30 minutes dude," i say, putting my hands on my hips.

"great point y/n," Matt says, shooting warning eyes at Nick.

"so this is the kitchen," i say pointing to the kitchen. "it's nice i guess but we have no food. oh speaking of, you guys want pizza?" i ask.

"yeah of course," Chris answers.

"alright i'll do that after the tour," i say while walking to the dining room.

"this is the dining room where my 3 person family will apparently need 18 chairs to sit," i say.

"we'll just come over every night and take up the extra seats," Matt says and his brothers laugh at his joke. their laughs are all so mood lifting, i just can't help but smile.

"then this is the view to the backyard. there's the pool and basketball court which i'm SO PUMPED FOR!"

"you play basketball?" Nick asks.

"only religiously," i joke.

"praise the balls," Chris jokes. dirty humor? hilarious. i start wheezing and grasping at my stomach to stop the cramp that i can feel start happening from the laughter. soon they're all wheezing just as much as i am. when we all calm down, i walk them to the stairs.

"up here are the bedrooms. i don't know which ones my mom and brother chose but i know there at least has to be 8 rooms," i'm a few steps ahead of Nick, Matt, and Chris but i can hear them whispering. i turn around and see Matt's face has turned bright red and Chris and Nick's hands are around their mouths trying not to laugh. i look at all 3 of them.

"fuckin idiots," i say, laughing.

"WHAT DID WE DO," Chris yells.

"i have no idea but Matt's every shade of red imaginable and you two look like you're trying not to laugh during a fucking funeral," i say. for some reason, they all start laughing. i really had no idea i was this funny until today.

"this way is my room" i say while leading them down the left hallway, "i copped the biggest room, obviously." we all walk into my room and i take off Matt's jacket because i was getting too warm. when i look up, Chris is already laying in my bed while Nick is sitting in the chair and Matt's looking out the balcony.

"what do you guys want from pizza hut?" i ask, pulling my phone from my pocket.

"i don't care, just get whatever's easiest," Matt says.

"preach," Nick says.

"i'm cool with that," Chris says.

"okay cool," i say. i decide to order a large half cheese and half pepperoni pizza.

"should we go see what's on the third floor?" i ask.

"YES," all three of them say at the same time.

"woah i can feel the fucking telepathy in the air," i say, turning towards the door to leave. the triplets chuckle and follow me out the room. Chris and Nick walk a few steps in front of Matt and i (which i'm not mad about 😏).

"i can't believe you live here now," Matt says.

"huh? why?" i ask.

"well, this house have been empty for a while but everyone in the neighborhood talks about it. i mean- it's a mansion in the middle of a normal neighborhood," he starts.

"oh yeah, that makes sense," i say.

"i always thought that whoever would move in here would be weird old people that hate kids not gonna lie," he says and i laugh a little under my breath.

"you're cool tho, i like you," he says. i look into his eyes super fast.

"i-i mean i like you like i don't hate you- i mean i wouldn't have a reason to hate you-" he starts rambling.

"MATT" i say, "i know what you meant."

"okay good," he says, smiling. when we all get to the bottom of the stairs, we get into one of the elevators.

"why the fuck did all 4 of us get into one elevator when there was literally 2," i ask.

"i- you know, she makes a good point," Nick says.

"yeah.." Matt agrees. soon, we get to the 3rd floor which i was surprised to be below the first floor. the doors open and a giant pool with a water slide is in front of us.

"holy shit," i say, looking at the triplets. all 3 of them are standing with their jaws dropped.

"can we-?" Chris asks.

"definitely" i say, "you guys want to go get your bathing suits?"

"yeah. we'll be right back," Matt says.
