Enjoy!
Just by simply watching him maneuver around the house you could tell something was up with Matt. To the untrained eye he might appear to be perfectly fine but to you his very loving girlfriend there were a few things that gave him away.
Such as how he used his left arm to reach up to grab the things up high and left his right arm to dangle at his side.
Or how at night when the two of you would snuggle on the couch, he purposely sat on the opposite side of you than he normally does, making allowing you to curl into his left side instead of the right.
You finally decided to confront him about it after the other night in bed when you accidentally hit the right side of his abdomen after rolling over and he let out a rather loud yelp of pain.
"Matt are you okay?" You ask him during your nightly lounge on the couch. He shrugged trying to indicate her was just fine.
"No major bumps or bruises?"
"Nothing aside from the usual. Why?" Matt shrugged again. He was an athlete of course there was always going to be some some sort of bump. he was being a little too quiet about it.
"Matt"
"Y/N"
He knew you could see right through him but he was too stubborn to give in and admit to you that he was injured. He didn't want you worrying about him.
"Matthew, you're a terrible liar you know. Show me?" You cocked your head to the side to look up at him.
He complied, he gave you major side eye while he lifted his hoodie just enough to reveal the rather large blue and purple bruise that had formed on his right side around his rib area.
Your eyes went wide, imploring him to explain what he did to warrant that kind of mark. You lightly traced around the injury memorizing the outline, Matt wincing every so often when you happened upon a particular tender part.
"Remember a few games ago when I was slow to get up? It happened then." You remembered hearing about the hit from your coworker since you had to work that night and couldn't watch.
"And before you freak out, they checked it out. Nothings broken, just a little bruised."
"A little bruised? Matt this isn't little."
"I know. okay. I know. But I'll be alright. Don't worry babe." He kissed the top of your head hoping that he calmed you slightly. Little did he know you would never be calm when he was injured.
Please let me know what y’all think! Any thoughts, comments, or complaints!
