You were on the couch, lying flat out across it, leaving no room for Matthew to sit and forcing him to sit on the floor. Matthew walked you over to school but it started raining so he ended up staying the night. At the moment, you two were watching some Goosebumps because that was the only thing on. I mean, their were other shows on but the rain messed up the other channels.
You looked over at the remote and tried reaching for it, acting lazy you didn't get up so you could actually reach it. "Maaatttthhheeewww, can you hand me the remote?" After Matthew rolled his eyes he handed you the remote and you just nodded for a thank you.
You turned the volume up a little. Now you could actually hear over the pitter patter of the raindrops hitting your window. Speaking of which, you were now looking outside your window and outside. Wow. You only thought it was raining, but with how much that wind is blowing and how much everything was getting flooded it was obviously storming outside.
You sigh and close your eyes in thought. With the sounds of the storm all you could really imagine was a stormy night. You really don't know why, but the sound of rain instantly makes you think of something sad. Usually it makes you think of when you were a kid and you played outside in the mud that used to be the dry dirt scattered across you yard.
As you open your eyes you are greeted by a sudden flash of yellow in the sky. Another thing, you don't really know why but you are horribly afraid of the sound of thunder. The sudden noise alway makes you scared, but it scares you even more that it might start to thunder and Matthew would know your fear.
You turn your attention back to where you were looking before, noticing that Matthew had been watching you. He notices a single tear slide down your face and he lifts his head a little more, a sign that he is more interested now.
"Something wrong?" Matthew asked, climbing onto the couch with you. Oh and let me explain the tear, you are so afraid of thunder that even thinking about it makes you almost cry. You rub your eyes in a cute way, quickly wiping away the tear. "Nothing is wrong."
After that conversation quickly ended your attention was immediately drawn back to the window, it seems it has started to thunder. Just your luck... You must have jinked it. Sound of crashing repeating over and over, you try so hard to be silent as another silent tear goes down your cheek. Matthew notices you trying to hold in sounds.
"Obviously something is wrong. (Name), are you afraid of thunder?"
No, no, no. You keep repeating in your head, though you know it's not the truth. Yes, yes, yes. That's the truth, and you admit to if by nodding your head. He seems to smile at you. What, does he like seeing me crying over thunder? You try to stop thinking like that, but that's all you really can think about with that smile of his taunting you.
With this thought, you just give in and let your tears escape. You grab onto whatever is nearest to you, which just so happens to be Matthew. He hugs back, still smiling at you. Being in his arms helps with your crying, though it doesn't help you have a crush on him. Yup, you totally have a crush on him.
Uncomfortable with the position you are in, you re adjust yourself slightly. So, is this like cuddling? I've never cuddles someone before... You think to yourself, getting easily lost in your thoughts. You close your eyes, letting yourself start to sleep. Matthew notices you going to sleep and whispers three words into your ears. "I love you."
