"Matt!" A chipper voice called out, walking into Matt's room. Tord smiled timidly, and held his hands together, shuffling from foot to foot. Matt layed on his bed, barely noting that he was there. He grunted. Matt's hood was up over his head as he curled in a ball on his bed in his overly organized room. "Matt?" Tord crept over to his bed and sat on it with his legs folded. Matt shifted but said nothing. "Matt... Are you sad again..?" Tord asked meekly, scooching closer to Matt.
"Why does that matter- I'm always 'sad'" Matt scoffed, not moving
"But I thought..." Tord started, getting a little upset. "I-I thought-" Matt looked up, his expression blank.
"Thought what-"
"T-That I was making it better!" He cried, suddenly hugging Matt close to which he huffed.
"I guess but-"
"I-I'm your boyfriend, and if I'm not making you happy then why are you with me!?" Tord sobbed, pulling his turtle neck up over the bottom half of his face.
"You..." Matt struggled to find words to say. The two had been dating for about two weeks at that point but they hadn't really done anything outside the normal much to Tord's disappointment. Their relationship so far had been that of a middle school relationship, two friends "Dating" each other just because they were close. But the only problem with that was that Tord really didn't wanna be like that. He wanted to be able to clearly communicate his feelings to Matt. He often thought that Matt was just dating him out of pity. He liked Matt a lot but didn't want Matt to be in a situation he didn't wanna be in.
"Listen, you are important to me and I hate seeing you upset." Tord said, his voice shaking. "You need to talk to someone if not me."
"Well... It sounds like something's bothering you too." He stated bluntly, taking Tord's chin in his thumb and forefinger and tilting his head up to look at him. Tord could feel his hear rate spike immediately as he stared at Matt's lips and gulped down the lump in his throat.
"I-I uh-" He relaxed slightly when Matt wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him close. "Y-You go first."
"Mh..." Matt sighed. "Normal stuff I guess..."
"What normal stuff?" Tord didn't take his eyes off the ginger.
"Bad thoughts I guess..." He mumbled, not wanting to get upset.
"Like..." Tord's eyes went wide with concern. Matt simply nodded.
"Its normal for me... There isn't necessarily something anyone needs to worry about-"
"Matty... I'm worried..."
"Well don't. You have better things to do then worry about scum like me- Better places to be." Matt looked down, his eyes glassy.
"Sure I have other things to do that would make me a little happier but you're more important..."
"Important?" He scoffed. "Im not-"
"Matt!" Tord had to shout to get his attention and later he would feel terrible for doing so. "You shouldn't say this stuff cause it's not true. Just please, listen to me..." He took Matt's hands in his own. "I don't want you to think that you're scum or that you're not important enough to care about..." He looked up at Matt and smiled sadly. "Or that you should lower your standards just because you think its the best you can do..."
"Tord what are you-"
"If you are feeling bad for me... I don't want you to. I want you to be with someone you wanna be with and actually like..." Tord smiled a little but his eyes were full of well hidden pain.
"Tord..." Matt cupped his cheek and stared at him with a surprisingly soft expression. "I want you to give me one reason that I would so something that I don't wanna do."
"Because you d-dont wanna hurt my feelings-"
"When have I ever cared about anyone's 'Feelings' Tord." He scrunched his face at the word.
"You-"
"Of course I care about your feelings."
"Wha-"
"I don't care about anyone elses feelings but yours. And that's cause I like you, Tord." Matt's cheeks were flushed as he averted his eyes, Tord's glued to his face.
"Matt..."
"I don't like talking about this shit is all-" He mumbled.
"Do you want me to do that from now on then?"
"That would be easier, I think..."
"Okay, then let's start over, shall we?" Tord smiled lovingly before sitting up and plopping his booty in Matt's lap. "Matt, I really, really, really like you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you..." Tord spoke quietly as Matt rose up and held Tord in his arms, listening to each word carefully. "Matt, I'm in love with you..." He murmured, Matt's eyes going wide but quickly going back to normal.
"You... Love me?"
"Yeah... A-A lot actually..." Tord didn't get to say much else before Matt kissed him sweetly,the first time they actually kissed. Tord nearly had a heart attack but he quickly melted into it and kissed him back. Tord pulled away with a little pant, at a loss for words.
"You... You kissed me-"
"I'm a little better at showing things physically-" He nodded toward his bat collection causing Tord to laugh innocently and hug Matt.
"So you wanna do the same with me?" Tord asked, still a little nervous.
"Yeah... I wanna do all those things you said as well..." Matt smiled very softly to himself, Tord not seeing it.
"We can get married and then have a bunch of babies, too!" Tord bounced a little in excitement, causing Matt to laugh a little which was very rare for him to do so it made Tord's cheeks flush.
"You're getting a little ahead of yourself, baby." Matt ran his fingers through Tord's hair and smiled.
"Awe, but I wannaaa-" Tord whined.
"...Eventually, okay?" Matt pressed his lips against Tord's neck innocently.
"Okay!" Tord went happy again, sitting up and squishing Matt's face in his hands and squeezing his cheeks. "I love youuuu-" Matt smiled a little despite his current situation.
"I love you too."
