Is love really an illusion?(A gustholomule story)

Swing conversations

No time like the present-!

Matt's POV

That's what I'm telling myself anyways-
I really hope Gus is supportive and not like Bria and her group..
"Hey Gus..?"I say in a quiet voice just loud enough for Gus to hear
"Yeah is something wrong?You don't sound very happy-."Gus replies in a concerned tone.
"Yeah I'm fine but uhm"I pause I don't know if I can say it..
"Dude know that you can talk to me about anything"Gus tells me in a reassuring voice as he put his hand on my shoulder making me flinch slightly since the binder hurt my shoulder.
"Oh Matt sorry did that hurt you I didn't mean to-"Gus trails off panicked.
"Gus it's fine really I just need to find the right words for what i need to say"I told him
"Take all the time you need"Gus says in a caring voice that made my heart flutter.
"It's about this morning -When I was changing and you knocked"I started
"Were you in pain what happened??"Gus asks worried.
"Nothing really happened but uhm I don't know how to say it other then uhm-"I say Gus staring at me softly in a way that made me feel safe
"I-Im trans this morning when you knocked I hesitated because my binder was hurting me"I blurted out.

Gus POV

I can't believe Matt trusted me to say this.
"Matt.."I say gently
"I-if you find it weird or uncomfortable that's okay you don't have to stay my friend if you don't want to I just felt like I needed to tell you incase I ended up telling you later and you get mad at how I waited so long-"Matt ranted.
"Matt..I don't see you any differently and I'm truly honoured you trusted me enough to say this because that really brave and I think your incredibly strong for telling me.."I said to him with a smile.
"Thank you.."Matt said looking up at me.
"Now do you wanna go back to my house?You can ask if you can stay again for the graveyard tomorrow "I said
"Yeah that seems fun-!"Matt says loosening up after the conversation.

We got off the swings and began walking back to my house.When we finally reached my house Matt got a call and rolled his eyes the callers name was 'dad'
"Ugh-that drunken little"Matt muttered declining before dialling his mom.
"I'm just gonna ask if I can stay again if it's good with your dad"Matt said.
"Yeah sure my dad's fine with it he just texted me at the park asking about you and if you were staying again"I said.
"Alright I'll just call my mom."Matt replied picking his scroll back up .
"Okay!"I say with a tinge of excitement
Matt leaves to room to talk to his mom and comes back with a smile.
"She said it was alright."Matt said with a small smile.
"Yes!"I say happily.
"Soooo what now?"Matt asked sitting down on the edge of my bed.
"Wanna watch a movie?"I asked.
"Ohhh yess!I heard there's a new movie in this horror series I like!"Matt suggested enthusiastically I'm glad he's happy but I don't really like horror-
"Okay-!"I say trying to sound enthusiastic even tho I am literally terrified.
"We don't have to watch it if you don't want to."Matt says his voice laced with concern (A/N idk if that's right😭)
"Nonononono!It's fine really!"I say not wanting to ruin this for Matt.
"You sure?"He asked
"Mhm!"I reassured him.
We sat on my bed leaning against the headboard and I gave Matt the remote to turn on the movie, I could tell he was really excited and I couldn't help but smile.

A/N
I had MAJOR writers block during this so it's a bit short but it was fun to write and I think it's quite cute!
