Alternative Meeting (Mattholomule x Gus)

Holding Hands (Chapter 8)

This chapter is going to be full of fluff and gustholomule moments. I need to feed the gustholomule shippers that are reading this 🤭

Gus's POV:

I watched as Matty speed-walked away, was he crying? I shrugged and turned my head towards the three teenagers. "You need to tell him soon." Luz tried filling the silence. "Yeah, bottling up your feelings is bad for you." Amity responded.

"I'll do it when I'm ready." I'd turn my head away realizing that they made me admit my feelings towards him. "SO YOU DO LIKE HIM!" Willow yelled a little too loud, "SHUT UP." I put my finger onto her mouth, then I decided to look around to make sure no one heard that. "Gus, how long have you liked him?" the round eared witch asked, "shortly after the graveyard incident, there's something about him that I love." I admitted "I know it's stupid but sometimes I hold my own hand wishing it was his" My head turned to the hallway with five other people. They weren't paying attention to us at all thankfully.

They all snickered, "what?" I questioned. Suddenly what I said a few minutes ago replayed on Luz's box. My eyes widened as I watch the recording. "Luz, delete that right now." I demanded. She put her finger up to her chin and started tapping it. Luz hummed while doing that action. "How about, no." She giggled. What if she shows that recording to Matt, oh Titan. I groaned "Luz, if you delete that recording I'll tell him this week." I offered.

After a few minutes of her thinking about the offer she finally agreed. "Thank you." It was almost time for me and Matt to meet up.

The three girls walked off as they checked the time, they didn't want to interrupt us any longer. Though I know the they'll probably still spy on us.

I opened the door and when I entered I closed it right away, there wasn't really anything in here other than a desk, one metal chair, and a clock. What happened? I decided to put that thought to the side, I moved the chair to the desk and sat on the chair. It was so uncomfortable but whatever. The clock kept ticking at every second. I was feeling lonely so I decided to twirl my finger around in a circular motion leaving a cyan ring where I twirled it. A mini Matt showed up on the desk, it was so adorable. I picked it up and he was just looking at me confused. The illusion suddenly decided to kiss my finger on the hand I was holding it. I could feel my face heating up.

I swiped at the illusion and covered my face with my hands, why am I so flustered over an illusion. Out of curiosity I looked over at the clock once again, though in the middle of doing that I heard the door burst open. I jumped back and the chair fell over backwards. My head hurt a lot, "OH, AUGUSTUS ARE YOU OK?" A familiar voice said, I opened my eyes and Matt was hovering over me. "I'm fine." I responded. He held his hand out to try to help me up. I placed mine on top of his and he pulled me up. As I stood up, I picked up the chair and put it back where it was. "Sorry I'm late." the constructionist started to fiddle with his fingers.

"Oh! Don't worry about it, I just got here 5 minutes ago." I reassured him. He nodded and then started ranting about something random. It was so adorable, he's perfect. I'd look into his eyes as he moved his hands around. I feel so happy around him, I need to be my best self around him. He always makes me have fairies in my stomach, I wanted to kiss him so bad in that moment though I couldn't. "Do you want to sit down?" I cut him off while pointing to the wall. He nodded, I walked over to the wall and sat down against it. My back was against the wall and my legs were on the dirty, cold, hard floor. He sat down next to me, he just continued ranting and this time I listened.

10 minutes in of listening to him rant about how mustache looks so mature. It's so stupid but so am I for liking a witch like that. My eyes examined his whole body, he was so ugly. Though for some reason something about that seems appealing. I don't know why or what, but it just does. He finally stopped ranting about his clearly drawn on mustache and looked out the window. The moon light peeking in, "isn't the night pretty tonight?" he'd finally break the silence. His face was still turned to the night sky. My eyes were still on him, "Yeah, it's definitely prettier than you." I chuckled. He looked at me with a hurt look, he put his hand on his heart and started fake crying. "You hurt me, Augustus.".

"Oh my, did I hurt Matty's feelings?" I moved my hands to his face, the constructionist just stared at me with his face a tomato red. Matt then pushed me away and covered his face. I tilted my head, "What's wrong?" I asked. Did I do something wrong..? He quickly responded with a mumbled voice, "Nothing, just give me a minute.". I brushed it off and just went back to looking at the night sky, he's right, it is pretty. I rested my warm hands on the cold ground as I kept looking out the window. I hummed still keeping my eyes on the stars and the moon. Shortly after I felt a warm presence on my hand. I briskly examined what was on top of my hand and surprisingly it was Matt's hand. My face heated up as I looked up at him. He was looking away to the left of him trying to avoid eye contact with me. He probably just means it platonically though, I moved on and just kept looking out the window. My eyes felt droopy though, I leaned my head on Matt's shoulder. After a while I drifted off to sleep with the constructionist's shoulder as my pillow.
