Oh, Matt loved going on dates with you. Literally, you made every single one stand out.

Luke had kindly asked him before (practically begged like a pup) to go for a stroll, and Matthew, being the good friend he is, obliged. But honestly? It was the perfect excuse to stay at your place tonight.

He could listen to you for hours, no kidding. You had that angelic voice, that smile, and just.. you looked like a straight-up godsend, not to mention your eyes, which were basically the definition of divine and-

“Huh?” he blinked as you snapped your fingers in front of his face. “God- yeah, I am, listenin’, bae,” Matt smirked, reaching to brush your hair behind your ear.

Hehe, you were cute.

You rambled on about your day and the dumb people in your life that caused drama, and all he could do was nod and stare. Smile and wave, as they say. Only a blind fool wouldn’t see how smitten the guy was.

When you were done talking - by now, back in your apartment, sitting on the couch - you passed him an earbud. Matt doesn’t know a word ‘no’ when it comes to you. Moreover, he doesn’t even want to know it. it. He took the earpiece and popped it in, diving into your playlist.

“The Weekend? Classic,” he smirked, leaning head on your shoulder, his fingers finding yours and entwining. Now, he was fully comfortable.

Next to his baby, his adorable yapper, hand in hand - fingers laced, side to side - squished together, and listening to the music. Matthew closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh. If he could stay in this moment forever - he would without a second thought. Because for him, you’re the one. The only one. He doesn’t need anyone else.

His thumb brushed over your knuckles, eyes fluttering open before he pulled back to look at you. The Weeknd sang about his non-committal, lost self, but Matthew’s soul sang Ave Maria, imagining you, his precious one, in a white clothes.

“Yo, bunny, you ever..” he stilled. Was it too rushed? Too soon? Hah, screw it. “..thought ‘bout gettin’ married? I ain’t mean like right now, but like.. in a.. uh.. nearest future?.. Maybe?”
