To Write Love On His Arms

oo8

Six months later, here Austin and Matty were, in their bedroom, cuddling while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. That day after Austin announced his love for Matty, they started a relationship. Within the next six months, it was cuddles, dates, kisses, and even more kisses. The two weren’t ashamed of their relationship, and they announced it on Twitter that they now were finally a couple. A lot of fans were happy, and congratulated them about starting their relationship (finally!) while others were against them and no longer supported the band due to Matty and Austin’s relationship. Even though Of Mice and Men had lost some of their fans, that didn’t stop Austin and Matty from loving each other.

“Austin, why do you love me?” Matty questioned all the sudden.

“You really wanna know why?” Austin asked. Matty nodded, resting his head on Austin’s shoulder. Austin pulled Matty onto his lap, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy’s torso. He gave him a small peck on the lips, leaving them both butterflies in their stomach.

“Well, my love, I love you for a lot of reasons. I love you because how sweet and caring you are. You always put everyone and everything first and yourself last. You try to make everyone around you smile and be happy, which is what you do best. You want to be there for everyone and you wanna take care of them. I love you because how amazingly talented you are, the way you’re so focused when you draw or paint. You might not like your work, but I do. It’s amazing and I can admire it all day, but I don’t because I’m too busy loving and admiring you. When you’re always singing to yourself and you thought that I wasn’t around to hear you, yeah, well I did. And you’re amazing. You have the voice of an ang—no, angels wish they had your voice, because that’s how amazing you sound.

“I love the smile on your face and how it lights up a room. I love the way you bite the bottom of your lip when you’re nervous or you’re focused on something. I love the way you look down when you blush and when you hide your face. I love your laugh and how you cover your mouth. I love the color of your eyes and how breathtaking they are. I love how shy you are because you look so fucking cute, it’s not even funny. I love how you make me feel at home. I love the kisses you give me and when you tell me those three simple words that mean so much to me. But most of all, I love you because you are you.”

At that point, Matty was crying. Not with tears of sorrow but tears of happiness. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“You really love me that much?”

“Of course I do. I’d do anything for you. I love you Matthew Alexander Moore.”

“I love you too, Austin Robert Carlile.”
