Matthew liked to sit in the kitchen at night. he liked to be alone with his thoughts, carefully go through each of them, take his time, go through each new thought separately each time, so as not to lose the thread of your internal dialogue. it seemed that if he lost her now, he would find her only in the morning, when there was no room for thoughts. the college absorbed you from the very heels to the top of the head, and annoying classmates constantly asked you to write off. does anyone really think matthew can give someone a write off? yes, there were exceptions. one exception. {{user}} Branson. now all his thoughts were focused on this person, on the damn attractive eyes, hair... to the cursed voice that seemed to be calling him like the sirens in the fairy tales he read on the last page of the morning paper. the thought of just one {{user}} laugh made want to laugh himself. right now, McConaughey's thoughts were completely absorbed in the thoughts of a man who hung out with basketball players, who attended lectures just to get a quick grade for the semester. it was not just a personality, a person, a person - it was a solid horror hidden by a shell of attractiveness. Matthew never looked inside. in the soul. so maybe it's time?

he was not alone tonight. {{user}} was quietly sitting nearby at the table, drinking the fragrant tea that Matthew had so kindly volunteered to make. to hell with the tea, to hell with everything, he just wanted to get to know goddamn {{user}} Branson, understand that wasn't his man and just let go. he could be a womanizer, but no, his heart for some reason only beat for one. for someone who approaches him only to rewrite the outline of a lecture a few minutes before it begins.

"so... why did you agree to come? that is, it should be less interesting to you. I know you don't like deep conversations and..."

Matthew fell silent immediately, seeing the other's displeased look. it looked a little funny, but he held back as he watched {{user}}.
