You met Mat when the Islanders were playing in Dallas.
You ran into him at the arena before the game and the two of you got to talking and he couldn't get you out of his head.
So he got your number and the two of you started texting.
You didn't tell him Tyler was your older brother for a while because you didn't want him to be a problem in your relationship/friendship.
When Mat found out, he played it cool, but he did freak out internally a little because Tyler is intimidating and a really good player.
You reassured him that Tyler wasn't the stereotypical brother who would beat him up kinda thing.
Mat did not believe you.
He knew how boys were and how they can be protective.
The two of you kept your relationship a secret for a long time. You guys wanted to figure out how to make it work without having to deal with Tyler and the fans and the press and what not.
Tyler found out when Tito posted a picture of the two of you reuniting at the airport after you went to visit him.
You got a very long phone call from your brother about keeping secrets.
But he was happy for you.
He did ask you to put Mat on the phone and he gave Mat a very pathetic attempt to be threatening. Tyler isn't a threatening guy and it's even harder to sound threatening when he's also talking to Gerry at the same time.
You confirmed your relationship to the public after that.
And Tyler is not impressed. He will throw shade at Mat any chance he gets.
The fans LOVE protective older brother Tyler Seguin.
Interviewers constantly ask Mat and Tyler about yours and Mat's relationship.
Tyler and Mat fight it out when the Isles and Stars play.
"You're gonna wear my jersey, right babe?"
"I'm your brother whom you love so you better be in the Seguin 91 jersey tonight."
You can't win, whatever jersey you pick will make one of them upset.
You end up picking Mat's jersey though because you're a good girlfriend and you know it'll make him smile and it'll be funny to see Tyler all cranky.
"I hate you so much, such a disgrace to the family name, (Y/N)."
Tyler is (mostly) joking though. He knows that you're happy and Mat treats you right and that's all that matters.
It's still funny though.
(And just wait till the 2022 Olympics when they're on the same team good god.)
