Straight Boy (NatePat)

House of Memories

Matt woke up that day to the sound of his phone going off in his ear. 

"Ugh, Hello?" he answered eyes squinting under the light. "Matt? ya okay? you sound hung over." 

"well you'd be right in that assumption. ugh. What time is it?" he sat up on the bed pinching the bridge of his nose. "like 1 in the afternoon."Nate replied. 

"Crrrrrrrrrraaaaaap." Matt sighed "what ever, what do you need? And I swear to god if its another shit post video-"

"No! no no nothing like that I... I think I'm gonna go for it; My quote on quote crush." Matt's eyes widened a this (although not to much for obvious reasons). 

"What! Really? Nate that's awesome! I'm so proud of you man!" His voice cheerful but his smile crooked. "So what do you plan on doing?" He asked.

"I'm not really sure, I think I'm just gonna go for it, y'know? Seize the moment type thing?" Nate replied his smile shining through the call. "but I do wanna keep you updated so I catch you up afterward, say 3 o'clock?"

"yeah yeah, that works for me, I'll uh, I'll talk to you later." He didn't even wait for a good bye before hanging up the phone. Strangely enough Matt felt almost insulted in a weird way, But why? this is what they'd been working towards for a good two months, why would he feel insulted? Matt pushed this feeling aside seeing what good it did him last time he tried to explore them and got ready for the day or what was left of it...

Matt Stepped into the coffee shop closing his umbrella upon entrance. It was a small place, Cozy in fact, and thankfully it didn't seem to be very full either. He located a small two person table next to the window and took a seat, almost immediately the door burst open and there was Nate. He spotted Matt and happily strolled over. 

"Oh my gosh Matt it was amazing!" He said not bothering with formalities. "Whoa alright just getting right in there, What happened?" Matt exclaimed taken aback. 

"Well I went over to his house and at first i was really nervous but I somehow managed to push through and so we sat down on his couch and-" Matt was completely tuned out but nodded along all the while. He felt that twinge of anger from earlier or was it regret? what ever it was Matt decided to call it pride and try not to pay attention to it. Nate paused as he noticed the pained look on his friends face. 

"Yo, Matt you okay man? You like you have to take a massive shit."

Matt cracked up at Nate's outburst and the aforementioned laughed along. Nate turned to look out at the rain. "Hey know what we should do?" He got up grabbing Matt by the sleeve and rushing him out the door. "I don't know what- are you doing!" Nate laughed again but only to himself this time. 

He pushed Matt out into the rain Matt raising his arms in a sort of 'are you kidding me' gesture. "you know i had an umbrella inside!" 

"Yeah but this is more fun." Nate shrugged stepping out to join him only to bow in front of him instead. "m'lady." 

"Your joking?" Matt reluctantly took his hand and they began dancing in the rain. They splashed in puddles and twirled in the empty street  all the while Nate sang. 

"I'm Singing in the rain! Just singing in the RAIiiiIIIiiiNG!" Matt had slipped and pulled His friend down with him, For a moment they just lay there and embraced their shared wetness, but when the ecstasy faded and the cheer ceased they stopped for a moment and looked into each other. 

For a second Matt could have sworn he felt Nate closing the distance between them and the second after that he was sure. Matt couldn't help but melt into the kiss, his aching replaced with what he could only describe as lust. It didn't last very long but felt like an eternity to the two, fireworks going off in their heads. 

Suddenly Nate open his eyes and pulled away abruptly.

"I-" he stumbled over his words. "I-I have to go."

Matt's heart sunk as he watched his consort run off into near by ally-way, Not knowing where he went. Probably running to his boyfriends  Matt thought to himself. What an idiot he was, and to think he almost thought this would work. Matt got up and left not even bothering to grab his things.

"What the hell did I just do?"
