Wounded.

Chapter 8

Matt's POV

I watch Jake stare with wonder and joy. I took him to the fair that's near my home.
"Do you like it?" I said.
"Its amazing. Thank you so much!" he says and hugs me. Well, more like my torso. He's just so tiny.
"You're welcome. So, what do you want to do first?" I ask the happy boy.
"I don't know. Where do you want to go?" he asks me, smiling.
"How about we go on some rides and then eat?" I recommend.
"Okay." he says and we begin our trek.

Another time skip cuz I don't know what to write. They rode like three rides basically.

Still Matt's POV

We just got off our third ride.
"Are we going to eat now?" he asks.
"Yes, but try to pick something light, like fries or something." I recommend. He nods as his stomach growls loudly, agreeing with its host. We walked over to a food stand and order. We sit down with our food when this redhead bimbo walks over.

Jake's POV

"Can I sit here?" she asks Matt, not even acknowledging my existence.
"Sure," he responds and she sits next to him. Personal space much? She's basically on his lap. If anyone is gonna be in his lap, it's gonna be me. The girl breaks my trail of angry thoughts towards her with her obnoxious voice.
"What's a man like you doing in a place like this? You should really come with me. I could show you a really good time..." she says to him. Jealousy courses through my veins.
"Sorry, but I'm on a date with my gorgeous boyfriend, so if you would kindly stop, that would be lovely." he says. She scoffs and walks away. I giggle quietly. Serves her right.
"Ready? There's one more thing I want to do." Matt says.
"Okay." I say back to him and he takes my small hand in his. He begins walking me towards the Ferris wheel. We get on and the ride begins. Once we're on the very top, the ride stops.
"Did you plan this?" I ask him.
"No. Probably just mechanical problems." he responds, wrapping me in his bulky arms. He's so warm. After a few minutes, the ride starts back up. We get off the ride and make our way back home, which doesn't take that long. When we get back, Matt takes me in his arms.
"Put me down please." I say to him.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Lovely answer." I say, crossing my arms. He's walking somewhere. Once he puts me down, I notice that we are in the house. Specifically my room.
"What are we doing in here?" I ask him
"Stuff." he says and pulls me down onto the bed. He lays on top of me.
"Matt, why?!" I say, trying to push him off.
"Because I like to cuddle with you. A lot." he says and snuggles into me more. My face reddens.
"I like to also." I whisper quietly. He gasps.
"Yay!" He says and tightens his grip around me.
"Why are you such a child?" I ask him.
"Because I'm really happy." He responds.
"Why is that?" I ask.
"Because I have you." He says.
"Okay you cheesy child." I say to him and ruffle his hair slightly. He pulls himself up so he's hovering over me. He gasps.
"Do you know how long this gorgeous hair took?" He asks me.
"Five minutes." I say.
"Two." He replies, smiling.

Matt's POV

I really care about this adorable little boy. Shit. We have to get Rosalina from daycare.
"We gotta go. Now." I say, pulling him out of bed.
"Okay." He says and we rush down to the car. We get in and I immediately begin to drive. I park the car and walk inside with Jake's hand in mine. We walk inside and check her out at the front desk. She comes running over to us, smiling.
"Hi Matt and Jake!" she says to us. She hugs my knees. We walk out to the car and I put her in her seat. Jake and I get in our car and I begin to drive home. I park the car and walk inside with Jake and Rosalina.
"Matt?" he asks me.
"Yes?" I reply.
"While we were out... You called me your boyfriend... Is that what we are?" He asks.
"I want us to be.. but it's your choice." I say. He wraps his small arms around me.
"I would really like that.." he whispers. I pick him up and twirl him around. He giggles.
"You're too cute." I say after putting him down. He blushes. He buries his face in my chest.
"He's right!" Rosalina shouts. I laugh.
"Thank you for making that clear, Princess." He mumbles.
"We should watch a movie!" Rosalina says.
"Okay. What movie?" I ask her.
"Princess and the Frog!" She says excitedly.
"Okay I'll get it ready. Jake, would you make some popcorn?" I say.
"Okay." He says and walks off.

Jake's POV

I walk into the kitchen with a red face. Why did she have to choose that? I begin making the popcorn and wait for it to finish cooking. The microwave beeps signalling that it's ready. I try to get a bowl.
"Matthew!" I shout. He comes sliding in, because the floors are hardwood and he has socks on.
"Yes?" He says after recovering from his little slide.
"I need you to get a bowl." I say.
"Okay." He says and gets a bowl.
"Thank you." I say to him. He kisses my head and I blush.
"You're welcome." He says and leaves. I take the bowl of popcorn into the living room and sit with Rosalina and Matt. Matt pulls me close to him and Rosalina sits even closer to me. Matt starts the
movie. I smile the second the little girls come into veiw.

Time Skip Cuz I Don't Want to Get Copyrighted..

By the end of the movie, Rosalina is asleep. I get off the couch, despite Matt's complaints, to take her to bed. When I come back down, Matt's gone. Before I can say "frosting", I'm swept off my feet. Literally.
"M-Matt!? What the heck?" I say.
"What?" He says, smiling. He begins to walk upstairs. When he sets me down, I realize I'm in my room. Matt leaves. I change into my pajamas, a large t shirt and pajama pants. I lay down in my comfy bed. After a few minutes, I feel the bed dip and warmth behind me.
"Goodnight." He says.
"Night." I mumble and fall into a dreamless slumber, snuggling close to Matt.
