You rubbed your eyes, attempting to wipe the tears that were forming from your intense laughter. You dropped your head, unable to control your body from how hard you were laughing. Nick's head leaned onto your shoulder as he was no longer able to support his own body, either. Everyone's joyous sounds filled the car, Chris's being the loudest. You couldn't help but feel your heart swell with happiness at how much you loved these boys. You were beyond grateful to spend time with them, especially to film car videos.

You looked up and watched your favorite boy, who was crumpled in the driver's seat and dying laughing. Your happiness somehow grew as you looked over him, examining his big smile and scrunched nose. You wanted to trace your fingers over the creases on the outer corners of his eyes, his cheeks that were currently tinted a warm shade of red, and his soft lips that were spread in a huge grin. You'd never get over how crazy he drove you.

As if he heard your thoughts, Matt turned and warmly smiled back at you. His eyes met your's and you swore his cheeks grew redder. Still giggling, Matt began speaking with a mischievous tone. "Alright, alright, it's my turn to get some red flags out there!" He lifted his finger to his chin and pretended to think, making a funny face. "Oh! A good red flag about Y/N is the fact that she can't hold eye contact for the life of her."

You groaned, rolling your eyes as Chris and Nick giggled and mumbled agreements. Suddenly, Chris spoke up. "Nah, she's actually pretty good at it with everyone else. Your sapphire blue eyes just shine so bright, she can't help but get nervous with you."

Everyone busted into laughter at his comment, leaving you a silent, flushed statue. You couldn't stop the heat from spreading through your face as you realized he was right; Matt's blue eyes definitely hindered your ability to hold eye contact with him. But, who could blame you? It wasn't your fault he literally held beautiful universes in each of his irises.

You sighed and tried to gain your composure, mentally noting that it'd be even more embarrassing to stay shell-shocked for so long on camera. However, your plans were soon thrown off-course as Matt opened his mouth again.

"Wait, wait! There's more!" Matt spoke between fits of giggles, which you'd normally find cute if he wasn't currently humiliating you in front of his brothers and the entire internet. "Another one of her red flags is how she'll always repeat that she 'isn't hungry' over and over again, but once you get your food she'll beg you for a bite!" The boys laughed, doubling over once more. Nick yelled next to you, "Oh my gosh, she does!"

You couldn't help but giggle along as more contagious laughter broke out. However, you were now set on getting Matt back. He didn't just expect you to quietly sit there while he shared your red flags with everyone, right? No, surely he knew that this meant war. You smiled to yourself as you cleared your throat.

"Jeez, at least let me defend myself!" You chuckled, running a hand through your hair and sitting up straighter. "Matt, you can't even talk right now! You're the one that practically gets on his knees for a sip of someone's soda!" Having said that, it was now your turn to laugh with Nick and Chris while Matt sat still in the driver's seat, shocked. Chris nearly choked and spat, "Yo, 'gets on his knees' is insane!"

Matt smiled and now sat with his body fully facing you while his hand rested on the center console. He fired back a response, "Don't ever talk about me on my knees again!" He giggled and inhaled deeply before continuing, "At least I'm not the one that has stolen about fifty of my hoodies and lies every time with the same old, 'I'll give it back soon, I swear!' excuse!"
