when they were in high school, mat and brian had one of those fleeting, passionate summer romances. it wasn’t really brian’s style but he had gone along with it because mat was so in love (and so short and cute). one day they’d snuck out in the woods behind their school and lost their virginities to each other. brian realised he cared a lot more than he let on, so after they were both sleepy and a little bit sticky, he carved BS+MU in a big oak tree.after that summer, everything was lurching into motion and they didn’t have time anymore. suddenly they were in a band and touring and playing shows where kids actually knew their songs, and then. brian had a girlfriend. mat told himself that it didn’t matter, and they kept playing shows that got bigger and bigger.back on top changed things. brian had broken up with his girlfriend a few weeks prior but mat was too timid, after all these years, to do anything. they recorded the album fast, everyone rushing their parts to finish it. brian was acting weird.the day after the first screening of the finished record, brian had grabbed mat’s wrist and dragged him into the car, driving them both a half hour to their hometown in jersey. mat was questioning and wondering but all he got back was silence. they pulled into the parking lot of their high school. mat’s eyes began to widen.brian tugged him into the woods, right up in front of a huge oak tree with the letters BS+MU carved in the trunk. mat felt his eyes begin to water, looking up at brian, the love of his life, with a wavering smile.this turned out very different than i thought it would. hope you like it.
