3rd Person POV:
Matt wondered why Edd had addressed Eduardo in such a hateful way, then he remembered that they were rivals. Nonetheless, he was glad to see that Edd and Jon were doing well, not seeming injured at all. Tom went over and started chatting with Edd, Eduardo kinda talking to Jon.
Matt, feeling a bit left out, decided to take a look around. He found a small stash of water bottles, books, some food, and... daggers? Matt picked one of the daggers up, flipping it over and over to see its details. The dagger was rusty, and it had a piece of it chipped off. It seemed old, but not useless. He looked over at the 'group', seeing that everybody was sitting down on the floor.
He set the dagger back down, taking one of the bottles of water before walking back to the group and sitting down. "Can I have this?" Matt asked rather loudly to Edd, who nodded as a response. He took the cap off of the bottle and took a sip, instantly regaining his energy. Everybody else seemed tired, other than Edd and Jon. Edd and Jon were just conversating, sometimes others would chime in.
Matt didn't know why he felt so odd. He was only away from Edd for a day, he shouldn't feel so detached from him. And Tom, he was just hanging out with Tom in the abandoned hospital. But now, Tom seemed unapproachable. Matt just relaxed for a bit, but soon his nerves got the best of him.
"Uh- I'm just gonna look around, okay?" Matt announced, standing up. "Oh, okay!" Edd chirped, a small smile on his face. "Have fun." Tom said blandly, laying down on the floor. The neighbors didn't reply, just giving a nod. Matt walked out of the room, searching this new building for any helpful items.
He questioned how Edd and Jon got those daggers, but decided not to ask. For now, he'd clear his head. Maybe this whole 'Red Leader suddenly brings London to its knees' thing was finally getting to him. He started to whistle as he walked, just looking around as an attempt to identify what this building used to be used for.
He walked for a short while, soon finding a large hole in the wall and rubble scattered on the floor around it. Matt stayed low, peeking through the gap. He saw the streets, which used to be flooded by people engaging in their daily routines, now being watched over by Red Army soldiers.
He sighed softly, wishing that this had never happened. Wishing that things could be the way that they used to be, when he and his friends would be rivals of the neighbors, but they would never hurt each other too badly. Well, maybe Edd and Eduardo would, but that would just be morbid. Matt's realized that his thoughts were still not becoming as optimistic as he'd hoped, so he turned around and headed back to the others.
When he got back, he sat down next to Eduardo. He felt like Eduardo would understand him better at the moment. Eduardo glanced at him, then grinned a small bit. "Hey." Eduardo greeted, Matt looking over at him too. "Hiya." They both went silent, but this time, it was a comfortable silence. Soon, the silence ended, and Matt and Eduardo started talking.
They talked about many things, random things, things that they liked, preferences, hobbies, anything that was about themselves. They eventually left the room, Edd and Jon becoming confused as hell, Matt and Eduardo taking a seat by the large hole in the wall that Matt was looking through previously.
While they were alone, they told each other secrets, a bit of things about their friends, and even ideas for the future. "...Eduardo..." Eduardo sat up a bit. "Yeah?" "One more question. I-it's something that I've been wondering about... ever since we started hanging out in the abandoned hospital..." Matt said. He coughed awkwardly, his throat feeling a bit dry. He drank some water, Eduardo watching curiously.
Then, Matt set the water down and frowned. "D-don't laugh at me, okay?" Matt questioned. "Well, why? Is it funny? Embarrassing?" Eduardo replied. "I've just been thinking... Eduardo, why did you almost immediately become friends with me? Like, you acted cold during that, but like... you helped me when I got cut, for no reason."
Matt's cheeks turned a bit pink as he touched the bandage that was still stuck to his hand, remembering when Eduardo held his wrist. When he got silence, Matt looked over at Eduardo for an answer. Eduardo's face turned a red hue, then he started speaking.
"I uh- the reason is- well-" Eduardo bit his lip, then sighed. "Don't judge me, but... I- uh- I think that you're nice and kinda cool..." Eduardo continued. Matt was shocked, and Eduardo hid his face in his palms. "Oh my god-" Eduardo muttered, feeling more embarrassed than Matt had a few moments ago.
"Aww, that's so sweet of you!" "And I think that you're hot-" "Wait, what?" Eduardo chuckled nervously. "Nothing, it-it wasn't important." The two males went silent, gazing at each other. "...Okay. Well, u-uh-" "Matt?" "Hmm?" Eduardo shyly tapped the tips of his pointer fingers together.
"What's your... romantic preference?" Eduardo inquired. Matt didn't know what to say. "...Well, right now, I don't know. I'm open to anything, I guess." Matt answered truthfully. Eduardo nodded. "That makes sense." The two went silent, but Matt was quick to end the silence.
"How about you?" "For me, I guess... I'm not really sure either. I thought that I was straight, but now, I'm feeling certain ways towards certain people. So, I'm apparently not straight." Eduardo explained. Matt nodded, understanding how Eduardo felt. "Well, just love whoever makes you happy. Alright?" Matt said, earning a short laugh from Eduardo. "Will do."
The two males stood up, giving each other a hug before going back to the others. When they got there, Tom was telling Edd and Jon about something. It must've been funny, because they both started snickering. "What's so funny?" Matt asked, wanting to laugh as well. Edd, Jon, and Tom looked over at the two males, then tried to cover their mouths to muffle their laughter.
"...Tom, what're you telling them?" Matt asked, quirking a brow. "Oh, nothing, I'm just telling them about you and Eduardo's- uh- friendship-" Tom replied, pausing to laugh a bit in the middle of his explanation. Matt's face turned red, knowing what Tom meant by that.
"T-Tom, oh my god!" "What-" "I know what you're telling Edd and Jon! You're saying- things-" Matt became flustered, so he shut himself up. Eduardo noticed, and decided that he didn't want to know what Tom was telling the others about. Tom, Edd, and Jon started laughing, and Matt only chuckled a bit. "Okay, enough. Can we do something else?" Matt asked, rolling his eyes.
