"HOW DO I KISS HIM?!" An angered Matthew asked as he moved Max Caulfield around the disoriented diner. He had been wanting this to happen for Max since Warren was introduced to the main cast. The way they thought made them perfect for each other in the 'Life is Strange' reality. 

"You didn't want to know, you knew I wouldn't actually give you a real spoiler and you shut me up, so now you don't get to know." Stephanie couldn't but help but smirk as she saw her husband adorably frustrated at her. He always had the cutest rage hair after he finished his 'tantrum'.  "You have the chance to show him how much you care, you'll probably miss it."

Matthew was trying to control himself let alone the character, since they started the stream, requiring a third person in the room plus about 20,000 thirteen-year-olds, they decided no PDA on GTLive. He wanted so, to kiss her on the lips and playfully fight back. But it wasn't just that, he just wanted to kiss her truly, not out of playful retaliation, but out of romance. 

Finally, with a final surge he knew he couldn't fight back, he kissed her with the passion of a thousand suns. Once their lips touched, Stephanie just relinquished all control, they had kissed many times before but this was something special. This, was what pure love is, not friendship, but complete love. 

When it ended, they both noticed something was wrong, not with one another, but their own surroundings...

"Maaaatttt... mAaaahhhtttt... MATT" Roommate and resident douchebag Nate was trying to wake him up, MatPat passed out a while earlier, way too many Rum & Diet Cokes. "Brooo, you totally passed out, and I kinda have some bad news, besides the fact that you lost a battle of the wits to a D level student, which I know happens to hurt pride, you lost out with Steph."

"WAHHHHHTTT! That can't be! We were meant to always be together." Matt looked down at his left hand,  his vision still blurred from his hangover, and couldn't see his wedding ring. "Uhh Nate, do you know where my ring is??!" MatPat said as frantically as he could, still not quite yet able to grasp his own words.

"Okay, okay calm down, I think you're still a little drunk. A, I'll explain what happened between you and Steph in a minute, and B, since when does Masculine Matt wear a goddamned ring."  Maybe Matthew had gotten more hammered than he thought, maybe it was just Rum & Rums he had had.

Matthew couldn't fathom anything, his whole world was crumbling around him. Why was this happening to him?

"Nate, don't mess with me right now, what year is it?"

"You alright? It's 2006, which after the way you've been acting, sounds like how many drinks you had."

MEANWHILE...

************************************************************************

Stephanie and Jason were just completely startled, "MATTHEW!!! WAKE UP!! Jason, please tell me you pulled the plug on the stream at least before Matthew passed out." She couldn't believe what had happened, she just stared longingly into her unconscious husband's eyes... Jason slapped her to keep her from going down too. "Thanks, Jason, I needed that"

"It was more to help myself, I can't handle two unconscious adults by myself. What do you think is going on in his mind?"

"I have no clue, probably something horrifying. The subconscious can cause quite the nightmare." Stephanie looked into her husband's face, even though she couldn't 'see' it, she knew he was in a bad place of his own creation. Only he could break himself out.

BACK TO MATTHEW

*******************************************************

"You're joking, right? Right?" He could see the rare appearance of honestness on Nate's face. Matt rushed as quickly as he could to the bathroom mirror, and what he saw nearly made him faint again. "My hair, my dress, my...face. I'm 23 again."
