Matt's P.O.V

*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*
*KNOCK*

"Matt, are you in there?" I hear from behind my door, causing me to jerk up out of my sleep.

"Oh shit- Gus get up!" I whisper-screamed, shaking him vigorously.

"What..?" He muttered, sitting up in the bed.

"Matt?" I hear my dad call again, followed by more knocking on the door.

"Just go sit at the desk! Go!" I hiss, pushing him off the bed.

"I- okay?" He replies, walking over to my desk, sitting down on the chair and pulling out his scroll.

"I'm in here dad!" I finally reply.

"I'm coming in!" He says, opening the door. "What took you so long to reply?"

"I was sleeping, sorry about that." I answered, giving him a small smile. "So uhh, what did you need?"

"Oh, I just wanted to see what you guys wanted for dinner, and also to tell you that Steve's coming home for a week." My dad replied.

"Steve's coming home?!" I exclaimed, jumping off the bed.

"Yeah, tonight!" He laughed. "But uh, what do you guys want to eat?"

"Anything works for me." Gus shrugged, not looking up from his scroll. I rolled my eyes at him before speaking.

"What do we have?" I ask, sitting back down on my bed.

"Not much, if you want you can go and look."

"Uhh, Okay?" I sigh as my dad walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. That was close.

"What was that about?" Gus asked, looking up from him scroll and putting it into his pocket.

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you rush me out of your bed like that?"

"Oh..." I sighed, looking away from Gus. "He's homophobic, he'd kill me if he saw us the way we were."

"Wait he is?!" Gus exclaimed, jumping off his chair and standing in front of me, his hands resting my shoulders. "How could you be so reckless then!? Imagine he walked in the other day instead of my dad!"

I shudder at the thought, waiting a second before speaking again. "Yeah yeah whatever. I'll be more careful." I sigh, looking into Gus's eyes, which were looking down at me with a look of concern. "But uh, let's go to the kitchen, shall we?" I laugh nervously, getting up off the bed and walking to the door, Gus trailing behind me.

"There's not much in here Matt.." Gus said, looking through the cupboards. "Just a few expired packets of Hex Mix, a couple of Apple Blood boxes, a jar of peanut butter, a half eaten loaf of bread and a dead rat.."

"There's a few things in the fridge." I say, grabbing a container of unicorn milk and sniffing it, gagging at the smell. "Well, that's not great.." I sigh, throwing it in the garbage before resuming looking. "Oh sweet! There's some vegetables in here!" I exclaim, grabbing them and placing them on the counter.

"I don't think I have ever seen someone so excited over vegetables." Gus snickered as he walked over to where I was standing. "What are you even supposed to make with this?"

"Uhh I don't know, soup?" I shrug, looking into the freezer to see if we had anything for protein. To my suprise, I found a bag of eyes and a container of griffen meat. I grab the griffen meat and put it on the counter beside the vegetables. "Well, I think that's enough for soup, isn't it?"
