"Well..you kind of seemed off downstairs so I decided to see if you were ok."

Matt stared into your eyes for a moment, shocked that you had noticed his behaviour. His ears a burning red compared to his usually milky skin tone.

"O-oh yeah, hehe he.....I'm good, just got a little sleepy is all."

He was lying.

The ginger in front of you had specific mannerisms you had picked up throughout the years: When he lied, his ears would go a bright red while his eyes were glued to whoever he was lying to. His hands, which would normally fidget with his hoodie or overcoat, would be eerily still .

"Matt..," you have him a stern look as you continued, " you know I can tell when you're lying. Tell me the truth, please?"

Your voice softened on the 'please', a common tactic you had used with all the boys when you needed them to talk to you.

This seemed to get him, as his face fell into his palms with an extravagant sigh emanating from his lips. He sat there for a second before taking a deep breath and getting up.

You were confused at first, until he had pulled something out of his closet. A soft purple box with decorative green patterns adorning it.

He handed you the package and returned to his original spot, now with his knees up to his chest and head cradled in folded arms.

You lifted the lid, being careful as to not scratch the gorgeous box. Inside was what seemed to be a black cape, shorter with a small gold chain connecting both sides.

"If you're trying to tell me you're a vampire, the cats already out of the bag." You snickered

"Just- keep looking..."

And so you did, digging out a familiar looking purple vest. You shot your eyes towards him, scrunching your eyebrows in confusion, then shot them back to the box.

With each article of clothing you pulled out of the box your confusion grew and grew. Finally landing on a velvet purple mask, black lace surrounding the edges with one side larger than the other.

"Matt? What is all this?"

He pulled his head up as his eyes glued to the mask, before gingerly taking it from your hands and placing it upon his face. Finally meeting your eyes again, an all too familiar feeling hit you like a truck:

'IT WAS HIM?! YOU DANCED WITH MATT!!'

"You were the guy I danced with?! B-but how? Why!?"

He winced slightly as your voice escalated in confusion. The blush on his ears finding it's way to his face.

"I didn't mean to lie to you— I swear! I just... didn't know how to ask you to dance as, well, myself." He lowered his head him shame, tears threatening his eyes, "but with the mask I felt— I don't know— mysterious in some way. Confident. I did want to tell you at the end but then there was a crowd, and then there was the whole flower thing and I-"

You cut him off
"The rose. You said that purple meant a strong love, and a feeling of adoration. Royalty. Why give it to me?"

His breath hitched, caught in your pleading eyes as you stared at one another

"I— ...." Matt was at a loss for words, he could tell you, but he was afraid. Afraid of rejection. Afraid of you two drifting apart.

His mind had drifted as his eyes widened a fraction as the embarrassment as well as memories began flooding his mind from the prior event.

You scooted over next to the vampire, resting your hand in his soft ginger hair. "You know, I was looking for you. The only reason I had went to the ball was so I could dance with you~"

You coo'd your words in an attempt to sooth him, stroking his scalp with your nails in small circles. A trick you had also learned in your many years living with the male.

Matt's eyes softened as they looked down, fully enjoying the head massage you were giving him. Gently, and very slowly, he entangled his arms around your waist. Placing his head in the crook of your neck, still allowing you to further continue your massage.

You took a deep inhale, the same vanilla and lavender scent from earlier intoxicating you, a smile present on your lips.

"Did you mean it..." Matt's voice was soft and quiet. His warm breath tickling the nape of your neck, "When you said you wanted to dance with me?"

"Of course~You were the one who got me on board with the idea in the first place."

Your free hand began lowering down his neck to his back, running circles across his shoulder blades, as the other rustled the ginger's fluffy hair.

"Can I— can you do something for me quick?" His head lifted, eyes meeting yours in a serious yet nervous expression. "Can you, close your eyes..?"

And so you did, smiling softly before doing so, waiting patiently for whatever he needed to do.

After a second or two you felt something soft press lightly against your lips. Matt was kissing you. You kissed back, pushing back slightly for him to get the hint.

His hands clasping onto your cheeks as yours rested upon his shoulders.

The kiss lasted a good minute before you had broken off for air. Leaning his forehead against yours, Matt smiled at you. Eyes filled with adoration and what you could only call pure love.

"Guess the rose makes sense now huh?" You both giggled, all and any nervousness or confusion fleeting the room.

"Guess so"

       ~Time skip~

When you had woken up, a large pair of arms had encircled around your torso. You looked up to find Matt already awake, staring lovingly at your peaceful form.

"Good morning, lovely"

You giggled again, "Morning to you too handsome~" leaning in and pecking his lips in a sweet but short kiss.
