The dream 18+ gustholomule (reposted)

Back home

Steve Pov:
I rub my eyes tiredly as I unlock the door to the house and walk inside the dark house yawning. I locked the door behind me before looking into the living room that had been light up by candles. I could see Gus laying on Mattholomule as they sleep on the couch making me smile a bit looking at them. Mattholomule had one arm on Gus's back the other one hanging off the couch as if it fell. Gus had his hands on Mattholomule's chest gripping the fabric a bit as his head rest a bit higher on his chest. Looking a bit closer I could see a few small purple hickeys on Gus's neck. A blanket covered the lower half of their bodies as their snores filled the room making melting my heart a bit. It is nice to see Mattholomule so happy with someone, he has been having a hard connecting with people because of his last school.
A ringing caught my attention making me pull out my phone making a chill run down my spine as I saw the name. Sighing I click accept and put my phone up to my ear "Hey Dad" I said as I started to take off my shoes. "Hey, Steve, I'm calling to let you know I won't be home tomorrow," He said making my heart drop. I held back a sigh as I threw my shoes to the side "When are you going to be home?" I ask. I started walking into the kitchen running my hand through my hair. "Wednesday, some things came up so we have to stay a few days, I should be home Wednesday morning," He told me as I took off my mask and unclip my cape putting them on the counter. The same disappointment I felt as a kid ran through me as I listen to his voice as he once again not coming home on time. "Okay, Mattholomule is doing well," I said as I walk to the stairs able to look into the living room. "He even got himself an boy-" I was cut off before I could finish telling him the good news. "I'm glad he doing well at school, I need to get going now," he said handing up before I could say goodbye. I bit my lip as I tighten the grip on my phone my stomach twisted and turn. I could only sigh as I put my phone away trying to hold back tears. All I want is for them to be here if not for me and then for Mattholomule, they hardly know their son. I want Mattholomule to have a normal childhood, he shouldn't have to be rise by his brother. I look up at him sleeping peacefully on the couch with his arm warp around someone who he really cares about. Even tho he shouldn't be raised like this, I wouldn't have any other way. I smile a bit as I walk up to them before sitting down on the ground in front of them.
I look at Gus as he nuzzled into Mattholomule's chest, "Please take good care of him" I told him. I knew he couldn't hear him or reposed to me but It was comforting in a way, I'm sure one day I will ask him the same thing. When he can actually hear me, I looked over at Mattholomule and smiled as I reach out to him. Running my hand through his hair before slowly getting back from the ground. "Good night I love you" I whisper to Mattholomule before kissing his forehead. He doesn't really let me kiss his head anymore as he has grown up but it was always a way I try to show affection. twirling my finger I made all the candles go out "Didnt I teach that boy about fire hazers" I mutter to myself. I headed toward my room which was on the same floor. I open the door and walk inside turning on the light as I did so making me close my eyes for a second. I closed the door yawning once again before taking off my shirt and folding it and putting it away for tomorrow. Doing the same with the rest of my uniform before pulling out my yellow Steve shirt. Quickly slipping that on before grabbing some sweat pants doing the same with them. Just as I was about to walk to my bed the sound of something falling hit my ears. I looked over and saw my old guitar now laying on the ground making my heart jump a bit before I pick it up. "I haven't played you a hot second," I said smiling at the dusty guitar before twisting the nobs. Trying to tune it hoping that it would sound the same as all those years ago when I use to play it more.
(it says on his wiki that he used to be in the bard track before he join the emperor coven. I don't know if he can use that kind of magic after joining the emperor's coven but in his story, he can.)
Smiling I strung the strings of the guitar making things in the room float for a moment before setting back down. It didnt sound just like it used to but it has been just resting against the walls for years now. "I wonder if I still have my spell book," I said before digging around my desk drawer. After a second I saw an old book with some notches taken off of it and some pagers about to fall out. I pull it out carefully and wipe the dust off the cover "I can't believe I still have you" I said before opening it. I smiled as I flip through a few pages as memories flooded in of when I use to be in school. I also used to play for Mattholomule when he was younger helping him to fall asleep. My eyes noted a loose page that was about to fall out "oh my I use to play this all of the time" I said looking at the page. It was a future-looking spell, letting the player get a small glimpse of the future. "I wonder if I still can do it," I said setting up the book before grabbing my guitar. I took a deep breath before gilding my finger over the strings and looking at the book that held the notes needed. I watched as the room seems to light up into a warm orange color. My things floated in the air swaying side to side as if they were dancing to the music. I continue to play as muscle memory started to kick in making me able to look away from the book. I looked up and started to see new scenes show up in the air in little puffs of clouds making me gasp a bit.
"I'm doing it" I mutter as I look at the many clouds showing people I knew and I didnt know. I couldn't help but smile as I watch the clouds pass by until something caught my eye making me turn all of my attention to it. I could see Gus and Mattholomule holding hands in what seemed to them a hallway. I couldn't help but smile until I saw the cloud change to Mattholomule yelling at Gus. Tears built up in his eyes as Gus tried to reach out to him only for Mattholomule to run away. It broke my heart to watch the cloud change to Mattholomule crying on the couch. Then to Gus holding Mattholomule as he continued to cry into his chest the only thing I could make out. Was him just saying sorry over and over again as Gus rub his back not saying anything. It broke my heart to see him so sad yet happy to know that Gus will be there for him. The cloud change again showing Mattholomule and Gus in what seems to be grom dancing together. They looked so happy together before it changed again to what seemed to be a much older Gus. He was looking at rings by himself "No way" I mutter to myself smiling at the cloud. The cloud changed again to Gus holding an older Mattholomule hand a small box in his other hand. He slowly when on one knee and open the box making me cheer a bit as Mattholomule coveted his mouth.
In my excitement, I hit the wrong note making the clouds disappear suddenly making me sigh a bit as I slowly stop playing. My stuff setting back down as the room went back to normal making me put down my guitar. I don't know how to explain how I feel but it is not a bad feeling something warm and nice. I pull out my phone and text Mattholomule "I like Gus, I have a feeling that he will be sticking around"
