Matt Donovan- Boy with the blue eyes

//Knowing Matt since you were kids and growing up to fall in love with him, but not wanting to tell him how you feel, now that you're a vampire//

You had practically shared a crib with Matt Donovan. You're families had always been super close, so you grew up with him and his sister Vicki. But things were different now; Vicki was dead and Matt's mum, Kelly, had left him and run off to South Carolina with her boy-toy, leaving Matt completely on his own, in a house that brought nothing but painful memories. But not everything had changed; you were still the best of friends with the Donovan boy, and cared dearly for him. 

He had been through so much, in so little time that you were surprised he was still functioning normally, nobody knew how he stayed so strong. You never missed one of his football games and everyday you would meet up with him at the grille and keep him company until his late shift finished. You would sit at the bar, cracking jokes and reminiscing about when you were kids, and there was no doubt in your mind, that the small childhood crush you once had on the boy with the blue eyes, grew every single day.

You and Matt had been, what felt like, two of the only humans left in Mystic Falls. Which in turn, meant that when you were involved in your friends plan's, you would be in more danger than anyone. That was until one of their plan's went horribly awry, and ended your life as a human, bringing you into the world of a vampire.

You were devastated. Never in your time knowing about the world of the supernatural, had you wanted to join it, but it was far too late for that. But not everything was grey skies, you tried to look on the bright side of things as much as you could. You had Stefan to help you control your hunger and get used to all of the changes, you had Damon to- well, be whatever help he could, and you had Caroline by your side. 

Matt was a wreck when he found out; tears and all. As soon as he got word of what had happened, he dropped everything and headed to the Salvatore boarding house to be the first one there when you woke up.

After you had become accustomed to being a vampire, you decided that it might be best to keep your distance from Matt a little, whether you wanted to or not. Not only were all of his problems either caused, or revolved around vampires, but you loved the boy, and now that your senses were heightened it hurt too much to even be around him, knowing that now you would never have a chance.

You had only gone two days without contact with the Donovan boy before he started to sense something was wrong. He headed straight to your house after his shift at the grille had ended, and ran through the pouring rain to your front door, quickly knocking on it once he was under the porch and sheltered from the heavy rain.

"Coming!" You yelled from upstairs as you jogged down. Quickly opening the door, your heart thumped in your chest as you locked eyes with Matt.

"Are you avoiding me?" He asked suddenly, a hint of pain in his voice.

"Wha- Matt, no. I-" You stuttered.

"Just tell me why?" He started sadly, cutting you off. "And don't give me the whole 'to protect you' speech because we both know you wouldn't hurt me. That, and I'm surrounded by vampires every single day, one more wouldn't make a difference, y/n." You swallowed hard, thinking of a way to reply without making a fool of yourself. But you couldn't bring yourself to lie to him, not anymore.

"It hurts me to be around you, Matt." You began.

"What?"

"Listen, I have liked you for as long as I can remember, and knowing that now I have virtually no chance to make something happen between us, really hurts." You started, Matt's eyes watching you intently, clearly shocked at your confession. "And then you just give me those blue eyes and I just-" Before you could even finish your rambling, he stepped forward and pressed his lips to yours in one swift motion, bringing his hands up to cup your cheeks as you slowly brought yours to rest on his neck. Hesitantly, after what felt like forever, he pulled away to catch his breath, resting his forehead on yours as a smile graced both of your lips.

"I guess it's pretty convenient I feel the same way then." He beamed happily.
