short story (gustholomule)

2 (REVISED)

A/N: the author released an official part 2 on twitter (you can find their @ in the 1st chapter) so this will be it! you can consider this canon, the og chapter 2 is simply a fan chapter.

Matt stared at Gus, panicked but not surprised. After his brother caught him with illusion-Gus (and teased him for hours on end), Matt knew it was only a matter of time before Augustus caught him too.

Matt's attention snapped back to the present as Gus fell to the ground, seemingly in slow motion. 

Rushing to catch Augustus, Matt freaked. He began blurting apologies and explanations, hoping that everything between them wasn't ruined. It sure felt like it was, though.

Staring anxiously at Gus's annoyingly perfect face, Matt trailed off as the boy's blue-black eyes fluttered open. "Wait, wha-"

Something strange was happening. Augustus was very, very close to Mattholomule. 

Oh.
He was kissing him.
Augustus was kissing Mattholomule.

This did not compute in Matt's brain. Augustus should be- should be horrified. He should be running out the door, maybe screaming, or shouting horrible things about Matt. Not kissing him.

With a start, Matt realized that he was not kissing Gus back, and that he probably should be.

Before he could, though, Augustus (dissapointingly) pulled away, only to cup Matt's face. Mattholomule hazily noted that Augustus' palms were very soft. This felt nice, Matt thought in a state of hysteria.

"I like you too, silly!" As these words slowly registered, Matt felt light somehow. His vision was blurring on the edges. Oh well. Matt opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Oh, his mouth wasn't even open. His jaw was glued shut.

Oh, no. He was about to faint, wasn't he. Matt was no stranger to fainting, having blacked out a lot when he was younger when he couldn't find the time to eat. But this was different. He was about to faint in front of Augustus. 

Who just kissed him. 

Oh, TITAN.
