hihi! i had n idea so i was holping you could indulge me maybe... matthew patel with a (male) reader who saw him fight in the rockit and made a craigslist post to try and find him again afterwards? idk if it makes sense but i think it would be silly :-3
A/n: This was such a cute prompt to write TToTT hope I did it justice! I decided to use the original universe in this one because I feel like Matthew would be moping on his computer after losing to Scott
Note: Although no pronouns are used, it was written in mind for a male reader
Reader Trying to Find Matthew Patel on Craigslist After the Rockit
You were pretty excited for the battle of the bands
It was Crash and the Boys vs Sex Bob-omb, two of the most well known indie bands in Toronto
There was a lot you were expecting. Cool songs, the fun of competition, the excitement in the crowd…
What you weren’t expecting was a man blasting his way from the balcony towards one of the main bassists
As he got punched back into the crowd by Scott, landing himself fashionably, you finally got a good look at him
And to your surprise... he was quite cute!
A lot of talk started about his ex-girlfriend in the crowd, a league of exes apparently made in her stead. But once they stopped, the fighting started again
Along with a musical number!
You do admit it was quite catchy
Sadly the mysterious boy was defeated, sent back to his home only leaving $2.10 in his wake
But as you walked out of the venue in shock, there was only one thing on your mind:
And the thought stuck to you like glue
At your home, at your job, on the bus, etc
Even now, as you lay on your bed staring up at your ceiling, the thought still continued its rampage in your mind
Your eyes slowly wandered towards your desk, most of its space being taken from your computer
You shut your eyes in thought for a moment before promptly getting up and sitting down on the chair. You were not going to wait any longer, otherwise you were going to go insane
Booting up the crappy piece of hardware was a challenge, but eventually you got onto craigslist and into the general tab, typing away
[Hey! The other day there was this guy at the Rockit fighting the bassist for Sex Bob-omb.. anyone know him? I think his name was Matthew?]
After you clicked enter, you leaned back into your chair and waited
And it surprisingly didn't take too long
A notification from your email made your heart jump as you quickly clicked onto it
[...Are you perhaps talking about me?]
You smiled widely. You finally found him!
[Depends. Is your name Matthew Patel?]
[May I perhaps ask as to why?]
[Your musical number left a very big impression on me. Plus I think you're cute.]
Although you couldn't see it, you could tell the comment flustered him as the next email came back a few minutes later
You giggled a bit to yourself. Guess he didn't really know what to say to that
[Was that a good or a bad 'oh'?]
[Well that's good at least haha. I was thinking... do you wanna meet up one of these days? I know you live in America, but I want to learn more about you!]
[Oh.. sure! I live close enough to the border.]
[Alright, it's a date then! Meet you back at the Rockit this Thursday?]
[Sure.. though I didn't quite catch your name.]
You smiled as you typed in your name and leaned back once more
[Well alright then, I'll see you there]
Your grin widened as you shut off your computer to process what just happened
You got a date! With a cute guy at that!
The grin faded as you realized you needed to iron out your clothes
As you scrambled to get up from your chair towards your closet, you smiled knowing that Thursday was going to be a great day
