m.sturniolo — in which bf!matt calls you for help when buying you period products.
┃" there’s like… different sizes? "
┃warnings; none
you had been with your boyfriend, matt, for a while now, long enough that he knew the rhythms of your moods and habits. almost as well as you did.
this week, everything had been on the tougher side of things. your period had hit harder than usual, the cramps becoming unbearable, energy levels almost nonexistent. anything and everything from getting out of bed to answering text messages seemed like the most difficult tasks.
but matt had been nothing short of sweet through it all.
you’d ended up staying at his place last night, spending the entire evening curled up against him in his bed, the two of you watching your favorite halloween movies. he’d ask how you were feeling every ten minutes or so, made sure your heating pad was working properly, and that you were as comfortable as humanly possible. and though he was just as tired as you were, he waited until you drifted asleep before he let his own drowsiness overtake him for the night.
˖᯽ ݁˖· ─
the following morning, sunlight barely filtered through the blinds as the room was still and quiet, the kind of calm that comes with the early morning. matt had been awake for about an hour now, checking in on you every now and then. he’d find you in the same position each time, bundled up in his covers, hugging his pumpkin plushie gently in your arms.
he dreaded the thought of waking you, but he also hated the thought of you waking up to find the empty space next to you that he once occupied, wondering where he had disappeared to. especially with the current state you were in.
you found yourself stirring awake when you felt a gentle kiss brush against your temple, followed by matt’s soft voice breaking through the silence of the morning.
“hi baby,” he spoke sweetly. “i’m heading to the store with nick and chris.”
your eyes fluttered open, immediately noticing his figure standing over you, a blur at first. as your eyes adjusted and your vision cleared, you started making out his features. his hair was damp, strands clinging to his forehead. the faint scent of his shampoo lingered in the air. he must’ve just showered.
“mmkay…” your voice was muffled through a hum, your eyes falling shut once more.
a gentle smile tugged at matt’s lips as he watched the way you let sleep peacefully wash over you. the way your eyelids fluttered and your breathing slowed. the way your arms still lightly wrapped around the orange plushie. he felt at ease seeing your peaceful state, knowing you weren’t in any sort of discomfort at the moment.
“do you need or want anything before i go?”
you hummed softly, shaking your head. there wasn’t much room for thought as you were still half asleep, the only thing on your mind being the dream you’d woken from.
“alright, text or call if you need anything, pretty girl.”
˖᯽ ݁˖· ─
about twenty minutes after matt had left the house, you’d finally woken up, the room still filled with that same calm and quiet.
an episode of gilmore girls was now playing on the tv across from matt’s bed, a hot cup of tea resting in the palm of your hands. a few pillows offered some comfort between you and the headboard as you sat upright, along with the warmth of your heating pad sitting in your lap.
you’d forgotten you had sent matt a text a few minutes after he left until you felt a faint, steady buzz on the bed next to you. reaching over, you flipped over your phone to see matt’s contact photo glowing softly on the screen, a smile tugging at your lips as you lift it to your ear.
“thank god you answered, i was about to murder chris and nick…”
you bit back a smile, shaking your head in amusement. you could almost picture him glaring at his brothers on the other side of the phone.
“anyways, i’m staring at like… fifty different boxes right now” he chuckles nervously, “what am i looking for? the purple ones? there’s white ones with blue and green patterns-”
you let out a soft laugh at his flustered state, “there should be plain blue ones.”
there was a small pause before you heard him mutter softly.
“oh, thank god.”
he must’ve found them.
“wait- hold on…”
maybe not.
“there’s like… different sizes? why are there different sizes for these things?” his voice is almost a panic.
nick’s voice suddenly rang through the phone, muffled but unmistakingly teasing, followed by chris’s laughter. you couldn’t make out their exact words, but you didn’t need to. the chaos in the background told you everything. there was no doubt that the two of them were giving matt a hard time, and the thought alone made you smile.
“ignore them,” he sighed through the phone. “okay- regular, super, ultra?”
he sounds completely and utterly lost.
“regular, baby,” you giggle softly.
you caught the sound of him murmuring a quiet “regular, regular” as if repeating the word would make the right box appear faster.
a few seconds later, “got it. anything else while i’m here? ice cream? midol? i know your cramps have been worse this month…”
his voice was gentle and threaded with genuine concern. something about his voice, the way he said it, made your chest tighten in the best way possible. he wasn’t just being polite, even though he always was. he meant it. he wanted to take care of you.
“i just bought midol recently,” you say softly, trying to sound reassuring, “and don’t worry about ice cream or anything.”
“are you sureee?” he asked, dragging out the word in that playful way he always did when he was half-serious. you could practically see his expression, brows lifted, a smile tugging at his lips, the way he always looked when he felt like he had to take care of you. “i’ll absolutely get you ice cream or chocolate or whatever you want…”
you laughed quietly, “baby, i don’t need it.”
“too bad,” he shot back instantly. “i’m getting you some ice cream.”
you could hear the smirk through the phone, knowing that no matter what you said, he was always going to go out of his way for you. that’s just who matt was, impossible and sweet, frustratingly thoughtful in all the right ways. but you wouldn’t trade it for the world.
“how are you feeling? you aren’t having any cramps are you? your heating pad should be-”
before he had the chance to say another word and ramble on about making sure you were as comfortable as possible, you interrupted him. you could hear the concern in his voice.
“matt,” you say gently. “i’m fine. you don’t need to worry, okay? the heating pad and midol’s working just fine.”
that wasn’t entirely true. the dull ache in your stomach was still present. the warmth from the heating pad helped, yes, but it wasn’t enough to chase away the pain entirely. and you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him that.
“for some reason, i don’t believe that,” he said, his voice laced with suspicion and something else beneath it. “we’ll be back soon. i’ll fix you some lunch when we get back and then you can have your ice cream after.”
you opened your mouth to argue, to tell him that he didn’t need to go out of his way to do all these things for you, that you could get up and make yourself lunch if you wanted to. but he was quicker to speak.
“alright, i gotta go. i love you, see you soon pretty girl.”

matt sturniolo! x f!reader
requested by : @mattsturnioloisluvr ꨄ︎ WARNINGS : smut, public, unprotected sex, dirty talk, accidental streaming, p in v, dirty talk, interrupted, a bit silly <3
It starts quiet—just the two of you, caught in the hush that always follows a long stream. The room hums with low light and static air, the faint glow of the monitors soft against Matt’s flushed skin.
Outside the door, the house is still loud. You can hear Nick laughing, Chris yelling something half-intelligible, and the squeak of someone’s socks on hardwood. Muffled chaos.
But in here? It's just you and him. A world sealed off in low lamplight and the scent of warm electronics, cherry chapstick, and him.
Your leg brushes his as you shift on the edge of his gaming chair, and it sparks like flint against dry kindling. One glance. That’s all it takes.
You tilt your head. He licks his lips.
“Still feelin’ shy?” he murmurs, voice rough from hours of talking, but lower now. Private. It clings to you like a low-frequency pulse, thrumming between your thighs.
You shake your head slowly. “Not with you.”
And that’s all it takes for him to pull you into his lap like he’s been aching for an excuse.
The chair rocks beneath you, and your knees settle on either side of his hips. His hoodie rides up your back as his hands explore—fingertips tracing the curve of your spine like he’s drawing constellations on your skin.
“You drive me fucking crazy,” he breathes, mouth brushing yours. “You know that, right?”
You barely get a nod in before his lips crash into yours—hungry, open-mouthed, nothing careful about it. His tongue slides against yours like he’s trying to take more, deeper, all of you.
You grind down on him, chasing friction, and he groans into your mouth, his fingers bunching in your thighs.
Neither of you notices the faint red dot still glowing on the webcam.
Or the way the live chat’s moving again—confused at first. Curious.
Then wild.
Matt tugs your shirt over your head, exposes you without hesitation. His mouth is on your chest in seconds, sucking bruises into your skin like he wants them to be seen. Claimed.
“Fuck, baby…” he moans. “You’re so fuckin’ hot like this.”
Your shorts slide halfway down your thighs. His sweats pushed to his hips. Everything is messy. Uncoordinated. Rushed. But it fits. It fits because it's him.
When you reach between you to guide him inside, it’s desperate. Sloppy. Soaked. A gasp leaves your lips as he fills you, slow and thick, bottoming out with a groan so raw it shakes through you.
He hisses as you sink down on him, his hands gripping your ass hard, forcing you deeper. “God—feel so fuckin’ good. Gonna lose my mind.”
You ride him slow at first, dizzy with fullness, the stretch, the weight of him buried deep. But Matt’s not built for slow. His hips buck up hard, fucking you deeper, rougher.
The chair squeaks with every thrust. The mic’s still hot, still listening. So is the chat.
"wait—IS THIS STILL LIVE??"
"no way. no fucking way."
"GUYS THEY’RE FUCKING”
But the messages don’t reach you.
Matt pulls you in tighter, his mouth everywhere at once—your neck, your collarbone, the soft underside of your jaw. Your fingers tangle in his curls, your hips meeting every thrust with more desperation. You’re a mess above him, shaking and moaning, barely aware of anything except the way he fills you so perfectly.
The wet slap of skin against skin echoes in the background, timed with ragged breaths and the occasional curse he grits into your shoulder.
He slides a hand between you, thumb brushing over your clit in lazy circles. "Can feel you shaking, baby. You gonna cum for me already?"
You nod, whimpering, arching into his hand. "Don’t stop. Please, Matt… don’t stop."
He groans, his jaw clenched tight. "You’re clenching so hard around me, fuck… you’re gonna make me cum."
You nod into his hair, your voice shaky. "Want it. Want all of it."
His breath stutters, cock twitching inside you as he fights the edge. “Say it again.”
“Come inside me, Matt. Please.”
That shatters him.
He holds you down, grinding up into you deep and hard, and lets go with a rough moan against your throat. You feel it—hot, thick, spilling into you in waves. And that’s what pushes you over. You come with a cry, clutching him tightly, your body shaking around him, milking every last drop.
Your body folds into his like a final sigh, and you rest there in the stillness, chest to chest, hearts pounding in sync. A moment stretched in heat and breath and the echo of everything you just did.
The chat is exploding.
"OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" "IS THIS REAL???" "CALL CHRIS. CALL NICK. CALL THE FBI." "this is not happening. this is not happening." "AI GETTING REAL CRAZY THESE DAYS."
None of it registers.
Until the door slams open without warning.
“Yo, Matt—did you leave the—” Chris’s voice cuts off like a blade against bone.
You freeze. Matt freezes inside you.
There’s a beat of silence—horrified, thick, wet with sweat and disbelief.
Chris just stares, eyes wide. Then: “Bro. BRO. YOU’RE STILL LIVE.”
Matt jerks his head toward the screen—sees the red light. The open chat. The hundreds of comments flying by like a digital scream.
…fuck,” he mutters.
You’re still straddling him, shirtless, breathless, and absolutely wrecked.
Chris backs up slowly, hands in the air like he walked into a murder scene. “I didn’t see anything. I swear. Not a damn thing. Goodbye.”
The door slams shut.
Matt’s face is a mess of shock and lust, panting as he buries his face in your neck. “I’m gonna die,” he whispers. “I’m literally gonna fucking die.”
You try not to laugh, but it bubbles out anyway—still impaled on him, heartbeat racing, your body flushed and trembling.
He groans. “You’re laughing? Baby, the internet just saw my dick.”
You bury your face in his shoulder, still giggling helplessly.
“And your tits. And… everything,” he adds, voice cracking.
Somewhere, not too far off, Chris screams: “TURN OFF THE FUCKING STREAM.”
Matt just sighs into your neck. “I’m never showing my face again.”
You lift your head, grin lazy and love-drunk. “Well... at least now they know how good you fuck.”
He groans again, dragging a hand down his face. “Kill me. Actually kill me.”
You kiss his cheek. “Too late. You’re already famous.”

Tour had been amazing — lights, crowds, adrenaline.
But it was also exhausting. And for their little sister, tagging along as the only girl in a tour bus full of loud boys, it was starting to wear thin.
Especially without Nate.

You watched from your place on the living room couch as Matt and Chris paced back and forth between their rooms. Seemingly exchanging clothes, laughing and talking about some type of tiktok they’re gonna film. You were only partially paying attention now—the fanfiction you were reading on your phone suddenly taking an interesting turn.

You had just finished unpacking all the things you had bought from the intimate apparel shop you frequented. You were ecstatic to model the sexy pieces for your boyfriend of 2 months.
A smile plastered on your face when you saw your phone light up with a few notifications from your boyfriend, Jesse. You quickly took your phone from the nightstand and opened your messages to check what he had sent.
Your smile faltered almost immediately when you saw the messages. You could not believe your eyes.

forty-eight hours since you birthed your daughter into the world.
chris never left your side—during your whole pregnancy, during your labor—making sure you knew you could do it and that you weren’t alone. and even now, his body sat next to you as you laid in your hospital bed. thumb caressing your knuckles as he kept a keen eye on you, making sure you were okay.

♡ ˖ ࣪ ◟ the summer of 2008
the sun was hot and blinding in the backyard of chris’s house, the sun hat you had on nicely covering you from any sunburns.
you were sitting in the sandpit, legs sprawled out to each side, rummaging around with a cup. your curious eyes kept track of how the sand would ooze out, landing in the spot right in front of you, creating a pyramid-shape of sand.
“hey, i want that one,” you heard chris say from next to you, messily reaching over to grab the cup from your hands.
you were confused at first, looking over at him playing with it after he’d snatched it right from your grip. a pout formed on your lips, furrowing your brows while reaching back for the cup.
“no, chris! it’s mine, i was using it first!” you whined, grabbing the cup from him. chris groaned, standing up to move in front of you, but you held the cup close to your chest, turning your body away from him.
“go away, chris! i had it!” you protested again, but suddenly he sat down, his small hands reaching the other edge of the blue cup.
“give it to me! it’s my turn! you’re done using it, let go of it!” he whined back, pulling on the plastic, but not strongly enough to take it from your grasp.
“chris, i said stop!” you cried, growing frustrated and annoyed by chris and how he didn’t seem to understand you were using it first, how he’d basically stolen it from you.
“i said let go!” he yelled with his childish voice, obviously mad from how his brows knitted together, seemingly not caring about the fat tears starting to prick in the corners of your eyes.
all that went down, until you let go, not wanting to fight further. but chris was still pulling hard, causing him to accidentally hit himself right in the face with the cup, the corner cutting the edge of his eyebrow right open.
“ow!” he yelled, immediately losing his grip of the cup, which you carefully reached for to take it back, all while curiously watching his face twist up in pain.
hot tears ran down his chubby cheeks, his small fingers running across the bleeding wound while he cried from the stinging and ache.
“i’m sorry, chris. i didn’t mean to do that..” you mumbled while looking at him with a perplexed and puzzled look, your wide and confused eyes stuck on his eyebrow that was trickling with blood.

FOREVER NOW | CHRISTOPHER STURNIOLO
You and Chris have been tied together by an invisible string ever since you met at 10. As you grew older, Chris became your safe place. He was always there, unknowingly shaping himself into the person you’d eventually fall in love with. By the time you were 18, you had become each other’s first everything- first kiss, first love, first promise that neither of you could ever belong to anyone else the way you belonged to each other. And now, standing in the bathroom with ten pregnancy tests lined up on the counter, that promise felt heavier than ever.
story warnings: fluff, smut, creampie, heavy breeding kink, pregnancy, established relationship, etc… if any of these topics upset you… don’t read!

Never ending emptiness.
A continuous cycle of repeating the same days over and over again. It was all consuming and entirely draining. Every day I woke up and it felt like there was no end in sight, no light at the end of the tunnel.
And the worst part was that I was alone in it. No one knew, no one could know. I was terrified that if I said the words out loud that everyone would panic, scared that I was getting bad again.
It felt like I wasn’t allowed to struggle like a normal person anymore. I either had to be perfect or be completely falling apart, so I let everyone think I was perfect.
Especially my boyfriend Matt. He had been with me all through the last year and a half when everything kept falling apart, never once leaving my side. But I saw how much it hurt him watching me struggle and I never wanted to see that pain in his eyes again, knowing how scared he was of losing me.
Some days were easier to fake a smile, easier to get out of bed and pretend like everything was fine, easier to act like I was happy. Today was not one of those days.
When Matt got up to start his day I stayed in bed, wrapped in my blanket, alternating between doom scrolling and staring at the ceiling, brushing off his concern by saying that I didn't feel well.
I heard a quiet knock at the door as my eyes focused on the slow spinning of the fan blades. “Hey love you hungry? I can get you something before I have to leave for my meeting” Matt asked as he peaked his head into the dark room.
“No I’m ok, thanks baby” I said as I forced a small smile, hoping to ease his evident worry. “You sure?” He asked as he sat down on the edge of the bed, “You didn't have dinner last night either. I know you don’t feel good but maybe some toast or something could help.” He offered as he gently rubbed his hand up and down my arm, i shook my head.
“Come on pretty, I don’t like you not eating this much, something small please?” He asked, gently squeezing my arm in reassurance. “Matt, hey, it's not like that I just don’t feel good, I promise ok?” I promised as I placed a hand on top of his. “Ok” he said quietly as he stood up.
But instead of leaving for his meeting he lifted up my blanket, crawling into bed and wrapping his arm around me. “What are you doing? Don’t you have a meeting?” I asked as he laid his head on my shoulder. “I’ll reschedule” He said as he pressed a gentle kiss to my skin.
“Matt I’m fine you don’t need to cancel your meeting” I tried to assure him, guilt setting in knowing he was putting off work because of me. “Nope. I know you’re not ok and I know you need me but you feel guilty asking for help so I’m not giving you an option. I’m rescheduling my meeting and staying with you, I’m going to get you something that you feel okay eating and we’re going to lay in bed because I am always here for you when you need me.”
“Do you think I’ve lost weight?” I blurted out, overwhelmed by the thoughts running through my head and Matt’s determination to be there for me. “What?” He asked, taken aback, “Do I look like I’ve visibly lost weight?” I asked again.
”What are you- love, where is this coming from?” He asked, sitting up to fully look at me, grabbing ahold of my hand. “Um you know how I spent the weekend with my dad’s family, well uh my papa pointed out that he noticed I’d lost weight and wanted to “commend” me for it and now I can’t get it all out of my head. It’s all I can think about now.” I admitted, my head down as I picked at nails.
Matt took a deep breath next to me, “Ok baby I need you to listen to me” He said as he gently pulled me up, holding both of my hands as I sat across from him. “You listening?” He asked, looking me right in my eyes, “Mhm” I nodded.
“You’re papa is a piece of shit, and he had absolutely no right to comment on your body, even if he thought it was a compliment. I am so sorry you’ve had to think about that and I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you. And honestly I don’t know if you’ve lost weight because its not something I pay attention to.
I’ve been with you through all of this. I thought you were beautiful before you went to treatment, I thought you were beautiful during treatment, and I think you’re beautiful now. If anything you’ve become even more beautiful because you got your light back. Your beauty does not depend on your body, your body will always be changing but your beauty will not and I’m gonna continue to love you through every change. Because your body is the least interesting thing about you baby.”
Tears pooled in my eyes as Matt spoke and gently held my face in his hands, his eyes never leaving mine. “I just want you to be able to see yourself like I do” his voice broke as he pressed a kiss to my forehead, pulling me into his chest. “I’m sorry, I know I’m not easy.” I apologized, sniffling against his chest.
”I don't want you to be easy, I just want you to be you and I want to help you when it feels hard, we’re in this together ok?” He promised, his hand covering my head. “Ok” I said as I wrapped my arms around him, “I don’t know what I’d do without you Matt”.
”Good thing you’ll never have to know because I’m not going anywhere, I love you too much.” He assured me, slowly rocking me. “I love you so much” I whispered, looking up at him, pressing my lips against his, “I love you more pretty girl, we’ve got this.”
I reminded myself that no matter how hard it got I was never alone, Matt was always going to be in my corner. I just needed to learn how to lean on him so I don’t fall.
