Why punch when you can shoot?

As Matt kisses Jeremy, a smile pulling on his lips, his phone buzzes in his pocket. It’s ignored as lanky arms wrap around Jeremy’s thin frame, holding his boyfriend even tighter. Once the kiss breaks, Matt’s all smiles as he pulls out his phone to check who texted him.

“It’s Dmitri. He wants us to meet him now…. Ready for a bit of a walk?” Matt explains, glancing outside to see that the sun’s already set on Austin.

The kiss was nice-- it almost felt as if it was needed in a way. Though they hadn’t been apart and definitely hadn’t been lacking each others company, it still somehow felt like they were connecting after being separated for a while.

Raising an eyebrow at what was said Jeremy slowly runs a hand through his hair. “Now? But...I’m not even dressed decently..”

[axialskinner]

“… Yeah, I feel you.” He admits after a moment, then leans in to press a kiss to Jeremy’s lips. “It’s nice not being swamped with work for once.”

Nodding in agreement the shorter male pulls him down for another soft kiss, smiling against his lips slightly.

[axialskinner]

“More like, I really don’t want my boyfriend to die because someone thinks his neck looks tasty casual.” 

Matt hugs Jeremy back with a smile, enjoying the warmth and the quiet. “… Something on your mind?”

[humanizedwasp-blog]

“I just...feel like it’s been so long since we just did something for us, y’know...? With work and my channel and streaming...it feels like we’ve barely had any time together..though we have been.”

He looks up at Matt and smiles slightly.

“You might want to wear a jacket. Or a scarf. Some of my friends aren’t as… Safe to be around. Some of them are cool. Some of them are worse than Skinner. It all depends on who Demetri brings,” He explains, tucking the box into his pocket. “But they’ve heard a lot about you – they want to meet you, actually.”

“So smart casual and no accidentally lighting things up. Got it.”

He smiles softly then before pulling Matt into a hug. Resting his head against he man’s shoulder he sighs ever so softly.

[axialskinner]

“Holy shit,” Matt says with a little laugh, smiling at Jeremy as his hair is fixed. He reaches out and ruffles Jeremy’s hair, then moves closer to press a little kiss to the top of his head. “Once the sun goes down we can leave, alright?”

[humanizedwasp-blog]

“I know, it’s actually a miracle.”

He laughs softly then, blushing ever so slightly when Matt kisses the top of his head. With a hum he leans against the man and nods.

“I suppose so...Is there a dress code?”

[axialskinner]

“Listen, I appreciate the offer, but…” Matt’s voice trails off as his eyes finally meet with what he was looking for. A triumphant “ha-ha!” escapes him, and Matt scoops the little wooden box off of the floor. There’s a pause, then – “oh, there’s, ah, a thing in this box. And I gotta go give it to this guy.” He explains in the worst way possible. “… Do you wanna go out tonight? Meet some of my friends? Yes, I have friends. Shocking. I know.”

[humanizedwasp-blog]

“Riiiight...”

He hums a little then before reaching to tuck some of Matt’s hair behind his ear. Smiling then he nods.

“Sure..I haven’t been out in a while and I’m actually up to date with my work and stuff..”

[axialskinner]

Matt jumps at the voice, whipping his head around to see who it is. A smile quickly crosses his face, but the stress doesn’t leave. “Oh, hi. Uh… Nothing?” He lies through his teeth, concern still written in his expression.

[humanizedwasp-blog]

“Don’t start lying to me..”

He frowns and walks into the room then, moving to rest a hand on Matt’s shoulder gently as he does so in hopes of calming him a little.

“Let me help..”

[axialskinner]

Matt’s standing by his desk, tugging his fingers through his ever-growing hair with a bit of a pained look in his eyes. “Whereisit whereisit whereisit–” he keeps repeating to himself, digging through drawers and bags in search of something.

Arms crossed as he stands in the doorway, Jeremy raises an eyebrow as he watches the other. He’s silent for a minute or two before he finally speaks up.

“..What’re you lookin’ for..?”

[bac0nluver69-deactivated2020052]

Jeremy got a new kitty! :-D

[axialskinner]

Sorry, I don’t eat vegetables.

[humanizedwasp-blog]

Matthew.

[axialskinner]

… Alright, broccoli. 

[humanizedwasp-blog]

That just means I’m good for you.

[axialskinner]

Thanks, babe.

[humanizedwasp-blog]

Sucks your hair isn’t grey though, could call you my silver fox.

[editingftw]

Nice shirt, Lil J!

[angelshawke]

Green hair!

[axialskinner]

Ah yes, happy 525th birthday to me.

[humanizedwasp-blog]

Hah..you’re old now.

“It sucks being in a side office now, you know.” Ever since Jeremy got promoted, Matt and him have been spending less and less time together at work. It sucks, but Matt’s been able to focus at work now, at least. Still, he misses being able to look over in the B-Team office and see Jeremy next to him. 

Matt’s already downed a donut, and he gets up to exchange the box for a pizza box. The warm, savory smell hits him as soon as he opens the box, and soon he’s biting into a cheesy slice of saucy heaven. He nuzzles Jeremy as he eats, the game forgotten for now as he relaxes on him. Shrugging his shoulders back, Matt looks up at Jeremy and pushes his glasses up on his shoulder. “Mr. Big and Fancy Main Hunter.”

[humanizedwasp-blog]

“I miss being there as well, y’know...as much as I like where I am now...it’s still got a place in my heart.” Jeremy hums a little now as he kicks off his shoes and takes a seat.

As Matt nuzzles into him he raises an hand to gently play with his partner’s hair, pressing a kiss to his forehead as he does so. “I’m lucky to be where I am today...with the people I’m with.”

[axialskinner]

Matt tosses his phone onto the other cushion with a happy sigh, his stomach metaphorically growling at the prospect of a dozen delicious donuts being delivered to him by his favorite man. Long fingers card through Arya, who’s purring on his lap, and Matt only pulls them away to turn back to his game. 

Another day, another city worked on in the Minecraft world. Matt’s been working on a revamp to his Grifball stadium for a while now – one of the first maps that got him noticed by Achievement Hunter. Well, noticed in that sense, at least. The public eye is a fascinating thing, but it bores Matt to think about it for too long. There are donuts on the way!

The cats rush to the door when Jeremy arrives, even Arya, who’s suddenly taken a liking to Matt’s boyfriend. He follows the cats to the door and scoops her up when Jeremy enters, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Jeremy’s head. Arya is exchanged for the donuts, and she meows in contempt at the cheap tradeoff while Matt walks back to the couch with the box.

“Thank you, I love you,” He says once seated, a donut already halfway in his mouth. Shaggy hair hangs over his glasses, and Matt smiles at Jeremy with red jelly staining his lips. “How was your day?”

[humanizedwasp-blog]

There’s a fond sigh that leaves the man’s lips when he finishes texting Matt, lucky enough to have been in the car park when the messages were received. From there the man heads to get the requested donuts before heading back to the house-- even if he picked up a few energy drinks and some pizzas as well.

It’s not long before he arrives home and Jeremy is turning the keys in the car’s engine, clambering out before getting himself to the door and letting himself into the house. The sight of his cats is a welcome one, the man reaching down to pet them before he stands and gains a kiss. Taking Arya then he gently fusses her before following the other.

“Love you too..” He hums, paying a little more attention to the fluffy cat. “It was good..same stuff as usual really.”
