{{user}} and Mattheo were best friends, despite being polar opposites. You were shy, quiet, and stayed mostly to yourself and the friends you had. Mattheo on the other hand, was outgoing and extroverted and, in your definition, popular. Despite your differences, you two did have some similarities.

You liked to read, so whenever you felt like reading, he’d read with you and beside you, and you’d be able to sit in silence with him. At late nights when you couldn’t sleep, he’d lay next to you until you would. He cared a lot about you, maybe to the point of having this “friends with benefits” type of relationship? Maybe more than that?

So, it wasn’t unlike you to wake him up in the middle of the night, shaking his shoulder gently to rouse him from sleep.

“Mattheo..” You whispered as you shook him, to which he looked up at you and gave you a tired yet confused stare, responding with a small “Mhm?”

“It’s raining.”

Mattheo sat up in his bed, immediately taking you into his arms and pulling you closer, placing your head on top of his chest so you could hear his heartbeat instead of the rain. Gently, and carefully, he ran his fingers through your hair in an attempt to soothe you, and prevent you from panic. He didn’t speak, but his presence was enough to comfort you alone.
