Matty Healy // i think we've done it all

memories of them

"yes?!" he asked clearly taken back by my sudden response, i nodded my head
"yes" i repeated
"i think enough time has passed between us, george always said we'd find our way back to one another" i confessed my hand still placed within his, he smiled
"he said that shit to me too"
we stayed looking at each other, simply blinking within the light of revelations. we were going to try again.
"so what does this mean exactly?" i asked him
"it means ... it means .. i don't know exactly" he confesses running his fingers through his hair
"but we ain't doing the stupid shit they do in films where they say they wanna forget the past, we have too much history to do that"
i agreed with him, i didn't want to forget where we had been or what we'd done, we grew up together and that was too important
"maybe let's just try small things, like a date or two and just try let everything fall back into place?" i suggested, he smiled with his crooked grin
"i like that idea" i told him and i meant it
"i was .. apprehensive about coming here, i did it for closure and that's ... well that's exactly what i got just not in the way i imagined" i gushed at once, my cheeks flushed and i could feel my eyes sparkling at the thought of getting matty, the boy i once knew, back.
his hand reached for mine and his forehead rested against mine
"let's just be use and see where it goes?"
"let's" i whispered not wanting anything to spoil this moment, i wanted to remember it forever

2hours later

some time had passed since we made the choice to start over and it asif no time at all had passed, we were in the kitchen cooking some pasta, me sat on the counter with a glass of white wine and matty dancing around the kitchen, i'd missed this shit
"oi OI" he bellowed as i closed my eyes and took mental pictures of how funny he looked with a towel tucked into his pants as he cooked and danced
"oui" i laughed
"look at my moves mate"
"sorry" i giggled leaning into the cabinets as i took a sip of wine
"your cooking pasta not anything special" i joked
"hm" he said swatting me with the towel
"darling i'll burn your pasta if you're not careful" he added quickly before he turned off the stove and drained the pot

we sat at his dining table, very grown up of us i know, sat across from each other.
"this is good" i said the surprise clear in my voice
"unbelievable that, i can cook you know" he told me
"well ... actually yeah i'll let you have it matty" i said blowing him a kiss
"you're welcome babe" he said swiftly before digging into his food. my cheeks flushed at the simple word. babe. wow. i hadn't realised how much i'd missed that word setting me on fire. my mind lingered on the word even longer, he used to call me it at breakfast, while we danced together at the club, in sex, in bed, everywhere.
"problem?" he smirked knowing he'd ignited me,
"mmh" i shook my head taking a sip of wine and avoiding his dark eyes

after we'd eaten i got out of my seat to take the plates as we walked back to the kitchen and began to wash up.
i filled the sink with hot soapy water and lowered the dishes and on into the water. matty appeared behind me taking the sponge and cleaning them, i grabbed the towel and dried them once he'd sluiced them. i notice a dollop if foam on one of them and my instils told me why to do. i scooped it up and blew it at matty. it landed perfectly on the top of his nose, his mouth dropped and the plate fell into the sink causing an eruption of splash back
"oh you're gonna be sorry this is that" he laughed scooping an abundance of foam and throwing it at me, flecks of soap landed in my hair and face, i giggled
"it's on healy" i grabber the bottle of washing up liquor we and began to squeeze it causing it all to land on his top, his mouth tuned into a grin as he took the tap, a fancy tap that came included in the flats that allowed you to use it almost as a shower head,
"don't you dare" i squealed as he turned it on completely soaking me from head to toe
"MATTY" i screamed as he ran into the living room to take cover

4 hours later

"i should go" i laughed laying back on mattys couch, i'd been saying this for hours now but i had no intent of leaving any time soon
"you've been saying that for hours kid" he smiled reading my mind.
he swung his head back in happiness and as soon as he did his head made contact with the coffee table, i burst into laughter at the blunt thud, he shot me a death stare, i couldn't help but burst into laughter as the face he made looked like a child who had been denied sweets
"not funny" he whined and he rubbed his head
"oh it is" i said between breaths, i clutched my stomach before laughing even more
he sat up straight and smiled at me once more i couldn't help but smile back
"this is weird" i said spoiling the comfortable silence, he chuckled much to my relief
"it is"
"we went from avoiding each other to .. this in a matter of hours" i thought aloud as matty walked over to the couch i was sat on and sat beside me resting his head in my lap. i began to okay with the mess of curls on top of his head, it al felt so natural, second nature
"we always would return to this"
"you think?" i asked
"always"
