The shows got crazier and so did the 'relationship'
Five shows in, Laura told Matt to give you one of his rings to start wearing. Matt didn't too phased, he thought of it like a 'friendship bracelet'. It was too big for you, so you wore it on a chain around your neck and made sure to be seen playing with it.
The fans loved it.
But then when you 'accidentally' posted Matt on your instagram story, they went crazy. The caption read, 'I love getting to know you'
The photo had been up thirty seconds before it was deleted, but thousands had seen it and screenshotted it. The pictures circulated, creating a scandal. But, people loved the idea of you and Matt together. Matt looked happy in the picture and that was all that mattered.
You would be lying if you said you weren't enjoying your role. You liked being his 'girlfriend'
You and Matt grew closer, literally because you were crammed together on a tour bus. You finished each others sentences and had plenty of inside jokes. You swapped playlists and always got breakfast for whoever decided to sleep in the next day, now knowing the orders.
There was only one thing you didn't know; how his lips felt against yours.
Matt became a calming presence in your life and he was helping you keep your cool, even when you knew the interviewers were getting ready to grill you both. His hand was on your knee and you watched as he ran his thumb over your leg.
"So, Matt" the man started. "You guys have been blowing up a lot recently. You guys are incredible" You listened as he continued about the Triplet's success and their tour. You knew anyone watching would pick up on Matt's blushing face and adore it.
"Thank you" Matt said shyly into his microphone. "That's kind of you"
"Stop being humble" you joked, resting your hand on his arm. "Their success is amazing" you turned your attention to the interviewer.
"You're a supportive girlfriend" the man laughed.
"I support him in everything he does" you smiled at him.
It was easy to gush about Matt. You adored him as a friend and the focus of your affection.
When you were asked if you felt jealous of Matt's female fanbase, something snapped inside of you. "I'm not uncomfortable or jealous at all" you told him. "They're great guys. I don't think the fans's gender has anything to do with it" you watched as his face fell, but you continued. "I'm an influencer too, you know that right?"
You smirked as the interviewer stuttered out a reply. "Yeah, of course"
"Okay, I was just wondering since you've only asked about our relationship"
You knew Laura wouldn't be happy, but you didn't care.
You were so worked up, you didn't notice Matt's hand go from your leg to your back. You leaned into his touch as he rubbed it softly.
"She has a point" Matt spoke up.
You felt like you could finally take a deep breath once you were both in the back of a car being driven away from the interview.
"Laura's going to kill me" You mumbled, scrolling through instagram to see what people were saying. But before you could, Matt's arm blocked you as he pushed your phone down towards your lap.
"Look at me" he mumbled, getting your attention. His soft eyes took over you. "It's going to be okay"
"Matt, I just blew my job up because I couldn't handle a rude interviewer"
