- Matt Sturniolo x Fem Reader (she/her pronouns used)
-Warnings: Some swearing, kissing (making out again lmao), angsty Matt, I think that’s it?; NOT PROOFREAD
-About: Matt’s attitude has been getting worse around you. You, the triplets, and Madi go to a birthday party to celebrate a friend of a friend. At the party, you decide to talk to him about it there but it turns into a nerve-wracking love confession.
“CHRIS!! CHRISSSS!!! CHRI-” Nick yelled until he was interrupted.
“SHUT THE FUCK UP NICK JESUS. Just go downstairs and get him.” Matt clapped back, annoyed.
We were all getting ready to go to a friend’s birthday party. I didn’t really know him all that well but Matt, Chris, and Nick were friends of friends.
“Is this fine?” I said, walked downstairs from Nick’s room.
“Girl you look so fine my goodness” Madi responded in awe.
“Yeah, you look great” Matt said with a quickness.
Matt had been acting weird around me for weeks now. Almost like he was annoyed with me all the time. I tried to talk to Nick about it, but he just said maybe Matt just needs space from his friends.
“Anyway, we need to get in the car and go.” Nick announced while dragging Chris up the stairs.
We got in the car, Matt and Chris up front, Madi and I in the middle row, and Nick in the way back.
“Hey Chris can you take my phone and take a picture of all of us for my Snapchat story?” I asked.
“Yeah of course-” Chris started but was cut off.
“I don’t wanna be in it” Matt mumbled.
“Oh… well can you just make sure to not get Matt in it then?” I responded, obviously a little worried.
Chris took the picture and handed my phone back as we pulled up in front of the house.
Matt quickly opened his door and started walking to the front door. This was unlike him. He always wanted someone by his side.
“Matt!” I yelled, hopping out of the car.
He turned around, didn’t say anything, and walked in.
“Is he acting strange to you guys?” I asked everyone.
“I mean. He only acts like this when you’re around, no offense, but maybe he’s upset with you. Why don’t you go talk to him?” Nick said, patting my back.
We walked into the party, went our separate ways, and I immediately started searching for Matt.
“Madi! Have you seen Matt anywhere??” I yelled over loud music across the kitchen.
“No, I thought you had found him. I can keep an eye out.” Madi said walking towards me.
“Okay. I’m just worried and I don’t know why he’s mad at me.” I said, almost tearing up.
“I don’t think he’s mad at you, I just think you guys might have been around each other too much.” Madi responded with a quickness.
I left Madi with her other friends to search the house for Matt. After not being able to find him for 30 minutes, I decided to take a breath of fresh air.
I opened up the sliding door to the back yard, and low and behold guess who was there, sitting in a chair playing Pokémon Go.
I walked over and sat next to him in the matching outdoor chair.
“Yes?” He responded, not taking an eye off his phone.
“Matt, put your phone away for two seconds.” I begged him.
He groaned, turned his phone off, and slid it into his back pocket.
“We need to address the elephant in the room.” I joked, trying to lighten the situation.
“Last time I checked, there were no animals here.” He said annoyed while getting up from his chair and making his way back into the house.
“Matt, please.” I responded, grabbing his jacket sleeve.
He pulled away and walked into the house.
“He’s never gonna open up is he?” I heard Chris say from behind me.
“Dude I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what I did.” I said, tears filling my eyes.
“Hey, hey-” Chris spoke, grabbing my hands to hold. “I just think Matt has a lot of new feelings that he doesn’t know how to control.” He continued.
“What do you mean?” I asked, wiping the tears from my eyes before they ruined my makeup.
“Don’t you see the way he looks at you? The way he searches for you in a crowded room? The way your smile can bring a smile to his face too? Everything. It’s so obvious.” Chris giggled.
“What’s obvious?” I questioned.
“Oh my God, y/n. Matt likes you. He’s in love with you. It’s SO obvious.” Chris said, grabbing my shoulders and shaking them.
“What- no. He does all of that because we’re friends-” I started but was cut off by Chris.
“Y/n if you don’t get your ass in there and talk to him I’m gonna grab the microphone out of Larray’s hand and announce to everyone that you have a crushy crush on Matt.” He said firmly.
“How do you know????” I screeched.
“Know what- YOU DO LIKE MATT?? I was just joking but it’s true?!? Me and Nick placed a bet on this!” Chris joked excitedly.
“Jesus Chris I’ll be back.” I scoffed.
I walked back inside and found Matt, leaning up against a wall.
“Matt we need to talk. Really.” I said, grabbing his hand.
“Now?” He said in annoyance.
“Yes now.” I responded back.
I pulled him upstairs into a quiet room where no one else was. We stood by the foot of the bed as I continued.
“I don’t know why you are acting like this but you need to tell me now.” I said.
Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys started playing over the loud speaker down stairs. The music flooded through the house. “Oh no” I thought to myself.
“Y/n-” Matt started but I cut him off.
“Actually you know what. Let me go first. Matt. I like you. I love you actually. I have ever since we met. That’s why this is bothering me so incredibly much and I just want you to tell me what’s going on because I care about you and-” I started to tear up but was cut off by Matt’s lips against mine.
“I just wanna be yours” Matt pulled back.
“Matt this isn’t time to be singing a fucking song. I miss my best friend-” I said, shocked before I was cut off once again.
“Well you can miss your best friend some more because I don’t wanna be that anymore.” Matt started.
“What do you mean?” I said, oblivious.
“I mean, I want to be your boyfriend. I want to be yours. Just like Alex Turner is saying in this song-” he continued.
“You know Alex Turner…?” I asked.
“Doesn’t matter-” he said before I interrupted.
“Wait- is this why you’ve been avoiding me?” I asked.
“Well if I couldn’t make it any more obvious.” He smirked, grabbing my waist and pulling me in.
His lips fit perfectly in mine like they were meant to stay that way forever.
He pushed me up against the door as he pulled back to catch his breath, but I ran my fingers through his hair and deepened the kiss.
We stayed like that for what felt like hours, but was really about a minute long.
“So you aren’t mad at me?” I pulled back.
“Why would I be?” He said out of breath.
“Well I-” I spoke before being interrupted.
“I could never be upset with my beautiful girl.” He said, smiling into me eyes.
Butterflies swarmed my stomach as he pulled me back in for one more, soft kiss.
