The Youngest Gilbert (New Rewrite)

Day After

⚠︎︎This part does talk about sex but there is no sexual actions
———————————————————————————

Y/n groans turning in the bed and opens her eyes looking around the room recognizing it as Matt's.
She sits up abruptly with her eyes wide and memories of last night plays through her head bringing a heat to her face. She sighs rubbing her face when a knock is heard on the door.

Matt stands at the doorway sipping a steaming coffee while holding a steaming mug in his left hand when a gentle smile resting on his lips.

"Morning" she smiles at him.

"Morning, this is for you" he walks over handing the cup to her in bed.

"Thanks" she tiredly smiles at him taking the cup blowing on the steaming liquid and taking a sip with a content sigh.

The two stay in a silence watching one another secretly while avoiding saying a thing behind their cups of coffee.

Y/n shifts in the bed patting the spot beside her smiling up at Matt.

He nods sitting down beside her still drinking his coffee while Y/n leans over placing her cup onto the nightstand and sighing quietly turning to look at him.

"We eventually need to talk about what happened, so we might as well talk now" she picks at her nails nervously.

"Okay" he nods placing his cup onto the night stand beside the other cup.

He turns to her giving his full attention waiting for her to continue with what she wanted to say while debating what to say himself.

"Matt, I got out of my relationship with Damon a few weeks ago which you know..I don't think I'm ready to be in another relationship for a while, I still..." she trails off looking away feeling guilty.

"You still love him" he tells her matter of factly.

She nods looking down at her hands picking at her nails feeling her nerves pick up.

"I get it really, Y/n it's okay I understand" he assures grabbing her hand giving it a squeeze.

She looks up at him with a small smile at how understanding and caring he is.

"I don't regret what we did, I just..I want to continue doing this without a relationship" she admits trying to explain with a small amount of confidence about the situation.

Matt's eyes widen slightly and looks at her with an unsure expression.

"Are you sure you want this?" he asks gently.

"Yes" she nods with a small smile.

She leans forward kissing him softly while running her fingers through his hair smirking at his low groan against her lips at the sensation. They pull away and smile at one another.

"Then let's do this, no relationship just sex" he nods grabbing her hands in his.

"Yeah" she smilies with a nod.

The two lay back in the bed cuddling into one another as if in their own world with just the two of them without any problems or fears. He pulls her closer running his finger tips over the soft skin of her arm kissing her forehead as she nudges her head closer to his chest listening to the song of his heart beat thumping against his chest sending a muffled beat onto her cheek.

"Hey Y/n?" he hesitates his words.

"Yeah?" she replies softly.

"Damon is an idiot" he kisses her head once again.

She doesn't respond with words but acknowledges what he's said with a short nod against his chest as she lets what he's said play in her head on repeat.

After weeks of asking herself what she could've done to prevent the break up she couldn't find an answer and now that she's hopped into a new situation with someone else part of her feels bad but the other part is just happy to be held and have someone make coffee for her even if it's not the man she's in love with.
