Petal

Mattheo shot up from bed. He groaned as he looked at the digital alarm clock beside the bed. It read 4:34, way too early to be awake, and way too late to be up. Only moments ago, he felt his arms empty, a feeling he hated. This could only mean that y/n, his beloved girl left. He knew she had trouble sleeping sometimes so this wasn't a complete surprise, just an unpleasant realization.

"Petal?" He called out. "Darling where are you." he staggered about the room, his sweatpants hung low on his waste, his shirt previously discarded on the floor of their shared dorm room. "Out here Theo" Hearing her voice was just what he needed, her soft voice could work magic on him. Like spells being cast, only he was a willing victim. He spotted her sitting on the plush couch of the common room reading his favorite book. Mattheo smiled to himself, the smallest things she did to incorporate him into her daily life was so special to him. He didn't get much love growing up, but he knew as long as he stayed with y/n there would be no shortage.

"What are you doing awake my love?" she called. snapping him out of his daze. "The bed was empty petal, I can't sleep when it's empty." She smiled tiredly, and slowly stood from the couch. With no need for the novel anymore, she set it on the wooden coffee table, to be read tomorrow. She sauntered over to Mattheo, who stood there, eyes focused on his petal, his girl. Y/n Placed her arms around his neck, his hands to be placed on her waist. Theo leaned down to meet the girls short frame. and kissed her slowly. She pulled away, unwillingly, knowing that they had to go to sleep. "Come on Theo, we need to get some rest" Mattheo only gave her a slight nod as he picked her up bridal style. Y/n let out a small squeal and giggled lightly. Mattheo set her down lightly and climbed into bed next to her. He propped himself  up on his one arm, using the other to stroke her cheek. This time it was Y/n who leaned in first but hesitated before kissing him with so much love even if it was a short lived moment.

She hesitated in hopes to capture every perfect imperfection on his face. His lips that she loved to kiss, the scar she knew brought him anger but she loved, and his eyes that she could get lost in. His eyes we're always her favourite part of him, physically. They were so perfectly dark brown that they reminded her of morning coffee, and how it was a tradition to always have coffee and a kiss before they went their separate ways for the first period class. Only to be reunited during second period.

"Mattheo" She called. A serious tone in her voice, yet soothing enough to let him know that nothing was truly wrong. "Yes petal?" Y/n smiled slightly at the pet name he had given her when they first started dating one year ago. "Promise me something" "Anything you could want my love, what is it?" he spoke with such truth when he told her this. She always knew that he would do anything for her, and he had shown that. "Promise me we're forever, please?"
"I wouldn't have it any other way, I plan to be with you till the end of time petal" She knew he wasn't lying. You could see it in his eyes, the way they brightened when he looked at her, the way the softened when she spoke.

With this new clarity, she nuzzled herself into the hollow of his body. Mattheo's arms instinctively wrapped around her frame, his face dug into the curve of her neck, slowly placing kisses along it. "I love you Theo" she spoke softly as sleep took over her body and mind. "I love you more petal"

Mattheo was never more certain than in this moment. He would be happy anywhere, doing anything and long as he had his petal.
