getting ready

Gus Pov

It didn't take me long before I got home and dropped off my bag in my slightly messy room. My heart was racing at the idea of a date "I can't believe this" I muttered to myself before looking in the mirror that was in my room. "I need to get ready, I need to look good," I said, putting my closed fist into my open palm. I quickly pull my shirt off and throw it in a corner of the room before heading towards my dresser. I pulled out a dark gray long-sleeve shirt and pushed it over my head, getting stuck for a bit. After a good pull, it slips down the soft fabric touching my dark skin, I then pull out a blue t-shirt. The shirt had an image in the middle. I pull it over my head as well making it rest on top of my long sleeve. I look back at the mirror and smile "damn you look good Gus" I said to myself before winking at myself. I giggle a bit before pulling my pants off and throwing them into the same corner. I pull out black jeans with holes in the knees and quickly put them on and zip them. I lend down and cuff the bottom of my jeans showing my ankles off to the world. "How scandals" I joked to myself making myself laugh a bit harder than I first intended before pulling out my phone. I quickly texted Willow "Guess who now has a boyfriend, lost their virginity, and is getting ready to go on date with their new boyfriend" I texted before hitting send. Quickly grab a pair of socks and put them on as I hear a ding sound. I picked up my phone and saw a new message from Willow so I clicked on it. "Gus I'm happy for you but I didn't need to know about the virginity part," she said, making me laugh as I quickly texted her back before putting my phone away. I looked at myself one more time before running downstairs and being met by my dad. "Woah there Gus, you just got home and you are already heading out," he said as he drank his morning coffee before going to work.

"Sorry I got a date to get to," I said with a big smile, making my dad raise his eyebrows at me. "So you finally told him how you feel," he said, making me blush a bit as I slipped on my shoes that I threw aside not that long ago. "Yeah I did, and now I got a boyfriend" I cheered as I put on my last shoe with a big smile. "Well I'm proud of you son, have fun and be careful while out," he said as I grabbed the door handle. The door squeaks loudly as I close it behind me with a small thud as it hits the door frame. I started walking towards Matty's house which wasn't too far more like a 10-minute walk. I look around the town and my feet tap across the sidewalk. "Hey Gus" I heard a feminine voice speak out to me. I looked over to the sound of the voice and was met with Willow walking up to me smiling. I smile back at her as I sway my feet back and forth "Hey willow" I said as she stands in front of me. "I can't stay long, I have a date to go on," I said blushing a bit as I rubbed it into her face a little bit. "Without flowers?" she said with a smirk putting her hand on her hip making all of my confidence fall. I sigh before slouching over in defeat "yeah" I whine out making her giggle. "Here you big baby," she said as I looked back up at her twirling her finger in a circle making a green ring appear over it. Suddenly flowers bloomed in front of both of us. I quickly picked them up and held them together. She twirled her finger again making a vine go around to flower keeping them together. "These are perfect," I said, smiling as I held them close to my chest, making Willow giggle. "You have to tell me everything that happens," she told me pointing at me. "Everything," I said, raising one of my eyebrows and leaning toward her a little bit, making her roll her eyes. "Okay not everything," she said, making me laugh before checking the time, making my heart skip. "I really need to get going," I said as I started to run towards Matty's house, I could faintly hear Willow's voice as she said goodbye. I could feel my heart racing as I held the bright flower in my hands. I could see his house slowly coming up, making me slow up a bit and take a deep breath.

I walked the rest of the way as I started to fiddle with the flowers in my hands. This is it, a real date with your real boyfriend, you can do this Gus. I took a few steps up to his door looking at it for a second as anxiety crept inside me. I took a deep breath and slowly raised my hand before closing it into a tight fist. My fist soon hit the wooden door a few times making a knocking sound hit my ears. My hands were shaking a bit as the door slowly opened but instead of being met with Mattholomule, I saw Steve. "Oh hey there buddy, Mattholomule will be done in a second" Steve said before holding the door open for me. I nodded before taking a few steps inside my heart still racing as I looked at the stairs. "Aw you brought him flowers," Steve said, making me look over at him, almost forgetting about the stairs for a second. I looked down at the flowers in my hand as I felt the blush creep up to my face. "Yeah, I did" I mutter out, putting my index finger and thump between one of the pedals. The flower was soft to the touch and was elegant looking. I look back up at Steve with a soft smile before a question pops into my head that I wanted to ask last night. "You are in your 20s right? Then why do you still live at home, why don't you move out?" I asked him, tilting my head to the side. Steve's eyes widen for a second looking at me then up to the steps then back to me. He let out a long sigh as he leaned on the table.

"Don't tell Mattholomule this but I'm staying here because of him. Our parents are rarely home and when I was growing up it hurt a lot. I had to take care of myself and live alone in a big empty house most days. I became depressed because of it and then Mattholomule was born and came into my life. He lit up my dark world and I swore to myself that he will not grow up the way I did. I learn to cook better meals so he wouldn't have to eat cold or easy-to-make food like me. I played with him every day and stayed by his side until he fell asleep when he was younger. I wanted to make sure he never felt alone and make sure he knew he could always talk to me. I took him to school and I was the one who pulled him out of this old school and took him to hex high. Was I perfectly raising him? No, I mess up a few times but I try my very best to give him the best life I could. I joined the emperor's coven because it paid the most even though I have never liked it. I did all of Mattholomule, I will never be able to fill that role of a parent to him but I'm trying my best. He is my little brother and I will be there for him till I'm lowered into my grave" He said before wiping a tear that was forming in the corner of his eye making me quickly do the same with my eyes. "Wow, you are so strong" was all I could say, making him smile at me before patting my head. "I'm also glad that I raise him to know a good guy when he sees one," he said, making me giggle a little. I waved him off, making him chuckle a bit before we both heard footsteps making us look over at the stairs. There I saw Mattholomule wearing a dark blue hoodie with black sleeves with my shirt that he took under it. He had similar black ripped jeans that I had on which made me smile a bit.

His eyes widened a bit as he looked at the flowers in my hand as his cheek turned a soft pink color. "You got me flowers?" he asked, he sounded shocked yet also touched as if he was melting just by looking at them as his foot hit the last step. "Yeah, I had some extra time and thought I should get you some flowers," I told him, making a small white lie about how I got them. He walked up to me, his eyes still a bit wide as he slowly took them from my hands. He looks down at them playing with one of the petals as his face softens. A small smile curled from the corner of his lips before looking back up at me. He pushed the flower a bit closer to his face, hiding his pink cheeks from me. "Thank you," He said before taking a small sniff of them which only seemed to light up his face more. I felt like I was floating on a cloud as I looked at him, my heart just melting at the sight. In the background, I could hear water rushing before it sounded like water was going into a glass container. I put my hands on his hips before pulling him a bit closer and kissing his cheek. "Here let me put them in water" Steve suddenly said towards Mattholomule making him look over at him. Mattholomule looks down at the flower before taking a long sniff of them with a soft smile.
