Hopeless Romantic • NoochZahHutt

Chapter 3

Silence filled the room as both boys waited for the other to say something. Brandon looked around the room, the dark blue walls made the room darker even though the sun was shining through the window. There were a couple posters on the walls beside him. One poster was a Nirvana poster with a guitar and another was a Metallica poster with the Master of Puppets design.
"Soooo," Mat said "You wanna watch a movie or something?" He asked. Brandon nodded and stood up slowly. He didn't wanna injure himself anymore than he was ready was.
Brandon and Mat walked down the stairs and Brandon sat on the couch while Mat chose a movie.
"How about the Avengers?" He asks Brandon. Brandon nodded and relaxed into the couch. Mat started the movie and sat beside Brandon, handing him a blanket. The movie started and about half way through, Brandon and Mat had some how moved closer to each other. Now, Mat was laying against the arm of the couch and Brandon was between his legs with his head on his chest and Mats arms around him. The blanket was covering the both of them. Mat gently rubbed Brandon's arms, hoping to soothe the pain of the bruises.
Brandon was in heaven. Here he was in his crushes house, in his arms, being comforted by him. He didn't want to leave. He never wanted to leave! He also never thought this would happen. He never thought that he'd be with his crush on his couch cuddling. Who knew?
Mat shifted under Brandon. Not because he was uncomfortable but because he was way too excited to sit still. He didn't know why he was excited of course, he just was.
The movie eventually ended and the two boys stood up off the couch. Mat went to his bed room and Brandon followed. By now it was 9 PM. Mat grabbed his pajamas from their place on the floor and walked to the bathroom to change. Once he was done he walked back out and seen Brandon sitting on his bed, his feet not even touching the floor.
"You wanna stay the night?" Mat asked Brandon. Brandon looked at him and smiled the biggest smile Mat did ever see. He nodded quickly and stood up off the bed. Mat went to his dresser and grabbed the smallest clothes he could find. He handed them to Brandon and laid down on his bed. When Brandon walked out of the bathroom, Mat thought he was having a heart attack. The Guns N Roses shirt Brandon had on hung off his shoulder, showing off his collarbone. The pants fit just right though. They fit nicely around Brandon's ass which made Mat almost have another heart attack.
"Does it look bad or something? Why are you staring at me like that?" Brandon asked frantically. Mat hadn't meant to make Brandon worry but he could help it. He looked so good and Mat couldn't help but stare.
"N-No! You just look so good and I just" Mat stopped his sentence. He didn't wanna finish that one.
Brandon smiled "You just what?" He asked Mat.
Mat sighed. He might as well.
"You just look so good and I just wanna... kinda...maybe... make out with you" Mat whispered the last part, or at least he tried because Brandon heard it anyway.
Brandon gasped and took a step backwards. His heart was hammering in his chest and he thought it might just jump out.
"Why don't you then?" He said. This time Mat gasped. Did he hear that right? Brandon wanted to kiss him too? What?
Brandon walked over to Mat and sat beside him.
"But I just met you today, it wouldn't be right" Mat told him. Brandon shrugged.
"So?" He said. "Do you know how long I've waited for you to kiss me or something?"
Mat was even more confused.
"What do you mean?" He asked Brandon. Brandon shrugged again.
"God Mat, I don't see how you didn't feel me staring at you all day at school. I've had a crush on you for forever!" He said. Mats eyes widened again. Could someone tell him what was going on?
"You-you have a crush on me?" He asked. Brandon nodded. His eyes held regret. He shouldn't have said that. He knew it was wrong but he had hope and it felt so good to tell someone that wasn't his self.
"God, I only just met you today but I feel like I've known you forever now" Mat broke him out of his thoughts. "When I saw you in the classroom with that black eye I wanted to know what happened so I planned on asking you after class but you ran off, then I went to the bathroom and heard Jordan saying horrible things to you and I couldn't take it. I knew that I had to protect you and that's what I want to do! When I brought you here and you were asleep I knew it was right. You looked so fucking adorable and I just couldn't help but fall a little bit in love with you and now I don't even care if we only met today Brandon. I want this" When Mat finished his little speech, Brandon leaned in and pressed his lips against Mats. His lips were soft and moist and they felt way better than he ever imagined. After they pulled away, Mat wiped a tear from Brandon's eye. He leaned his forehead against the others and closed his eyes.
"Go on a date with me tomorrow?" Mat asked. Brandon nodded and laid down beside Mat and snuggled into his side. They both fell asleep one after the other.

Good news, the storms gone so that means update! And I know this moved too fast but oh well. Now, I'm gonna go watch supernatural so peace!
Thanks!
