Mattheo is in a rush to leave. he calls a quick goodbye over his shoulder but something makes him pause. turning back, a sly smile creeps over his face as he catches your eye.

"Wait," He says, stopping a few feet away from you and your boytriend who stands silently at your side. Mattheo steps closer, tilting his head with feigned innocence. "What now?" You ask warily, already bracing yourself for whatever he is plotting. "I can't leave without a goodbye kiss," He says, grinning as he points to his cheek. "Best friends always give goodbye kisses."

You shoot him a look, but he only tilts his face farther, silently daring you. your boyfriend tenses beside you, his frown deepening. "Mattheo," You warn, but he gives an exaggerated pout. "Oh, come on. it's just a cheek," he teases, patting the side of his face mockingly. "You’re not going to leave me hanging, are you?"

Your boyfriend's stiffens beside you. You exhale, already irritated by Mattheo’s antics but you lean forward, intending to give him a quick peck on the cheek. The moment your lips hover close, Mattheo shifts abruptly, catching your lips with his own. The kiss isn't shy or fleeting, it's heated, deliberate and completely shocking.

Your eyes widen, your heartbeat racing as his lips press firmly against yours. He pulls away just as quickly, leaving you breathless and flushed. A grin splits his face as he steps back. "Mattheo!" you hiss, stepping back as your cheeks flush. Your boyfriend looks ready to snap, his jaw clenched and his fists tight at his sides. Mattheo doesn't even flinch, if anything he looks entertained. He begins walking backward toward the door, his grin widening. "I love you, best friend," He calls, his voice dripping with mock sweetness. "Best friends forever, right?"

Your boyfriend is already bristling, his fists tightening at his sides. "What the hell was that?" he growls, taking a step closer. "Relax, man." mattheo shrugs as if it's the most natural thing in the world. “It’s what best friends do.” He says before walking away.
