summary: you’re matt’s college roommate and have become best friends with each other with hidden feelings

just fluff and some kissing!

I stared down at my laptop with tears welling up in my eyes as I sat in my bed. How am I supposed to get this done by 12:00am? I clicked on my phone screen lighting it up so I could check the time 8:23pm.

I audibly groaned in frustration putting my head in my hands. I was getting ready to let the tears fall until I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door.

“Can I come in?” Matt says softly on the other side of my door. “Yeah of course” he walks in with a worried look on his face.

“Whatcha working on? I could hear your distress all the way from my room” Matt says giving me a smile, trying to make me feel better, but when I don’t return one back he sighs and sits down next to me grabbing my computer and pulling it onto his lap.

i just stared at him as he scrolls through the assignment and then into my barely worked on essay. His hair perfectly flopping onto his forehead almost making me feel better.

“Y/n I thought you were gonna drop this class? I mean how does your professor expect you to get this done in one night?” Matt huffs. His words making me feel worse and more stressed.

“Matttt” I drag putting my head in my hands letting the tears fall that i’ve held back this whole stupid assignment. His face drops and quickly rushes to my side. He puts one arm around me and the other one onto my knee, rubbing it softly.

“Shit y/n i’m sorry i didn’t mean it like that. You’ll get it done I promise let me help you.” He says still keeping one arm around me but taking the other one to drag my laptop closer to us so he could start to work on my essay with me.

This is how it usually is for Matt and I. If Matt needs help with something, i’m there. He’s always done the same for me ever since he picked me to be his roommate. Matt still does youtube but decided he wanted to get a degree and enroll in college. Since he was going to be living alone he thought it would be nice to have someone with him. and it was. Matt and I became extremely close after the first semester. Always spending time with one another and helping each other out.

I know Matt sees me as his best friend but at first, I couldn’t help but feel like it was like we were in a relationship. I mean, we slept in each others rooms if we wanted to watch a movie, went grocery shopping together, and drove each other to class. How could I not? After a couple months i shook the feelings and realized it was just how we were.

After a long week of absolute hell, it was finally the weekend. Me and my girl friends decided to go out tonight to the bars for a girls night.

I’m sitting infront my full body mirror that sits on the floor of my room with rollers in applying my makeup. Matt sits on my bed behind me scrolling thru his phone.

“Do you really have to go out tonight? I hate sitting here by myself. Who’s gonna entertain me?” Matt says in an exaggerated tone. I giggle at his dramatics.

“You know I can’t back out now. Besides, Ethan will be there and I told him I was going. He’s been texting me all day about my plans” Ethan is a mutual friend through one of my girl friends, Julia, who set us up. He’s cool and easy to talk to. Hot but not as hot as Matt. Not as smart either. Dumb as rocks quite actually. But whatever.

“How do you even like that guy? He’s an asshole and so are his friends. Last time you talked about him you told me he was nearly failing all his classes because he parties too much.” Matt huffs looking obviously annoyed.

“Matt he’s a nice guy. Besides, I have to get out there and give it a shot. My friends are all getting boyfriends and i’m about to be the last single one.”

“So? Why does it have to be Ethan? You deserve ten times better than that kid.”

“I appreciate it but I want to give it a shot. Now get out I have to get dressed. I’ll tell you when i’m ready so you can come judge” I hush him away with my hands. I always show Matt my options of outfits before I go out. Makes him feel included in what i’m doing. Matt gets up all annoyed and walks out my room leaving me to get dressed.

I look at my mini dress in the mirror questing if it’s too much as i’m taking my rollers out. My hair coming out perfectly. I hope Matt likes it. I should be thinking of Ethan but his name doesn’t even cross my mind. He doesn’t really appreciate the little things like Matt does.

“Matt come see!” I yell to him from my room letting him know i’m ready. I hear rustling letting me know he’s walking over from his side of the apartment.

He sits on my bed waiting for me to walk out of my bathroom. As I walk out matt’s mouth slightly parts. I jokingly do a little spin when i’m in-front of him making him slightly smile.

“what do you think? too much?”

“you look beautiful y/n your hair came out perfectly” I blush at his comment. A guys never talked to me like Matt before. He makes me feel special without even trying. Instead of saying hot or bad he say’s beautiful and pretty.

“you always look good” he says slightly lifting his head to meet my eyes. The air suddenly feels thick as we make eye contact. His expression is impossible to read as we just stare at each other for a second.

*phone ringing*

my phone breaks us out of our trance

“hey we are outside waiting for you” julia says on the other line. “okay okay i’m coming just let me grab something” I say hanging up and grabbing my purse, lipgloss, exc. I can feel Matt’s eyes burning into me as I run around my room.

“Okay i’m headed out but i’ll be back late tonight. You know I hate sleeping out.” i say smiling at him. He stands up and walks with me out of my room. “Be safe please. And don’t let anyone give you a drink. Call me if you need anything you know I stay up late I can come get you and bring you home, always.” Matt says with a serious face. “Yes I got it dad, don’t have too much fun without me. Miss you, bye.” I say walking out.

“miss you too”

This night sucks so far.

I took too many shots on the way here, Julia handing them to me like water so that i’m eased up to talk to Ethan. I don’t even care about Ethan.

my friends and I are on the dance floor having fun. The alcohol takes over my body as I move my hips to the music, suddenly coming to a stop as I feel hands on them.

“Finally, i’ve been looking for you everywhere” I feel Ethan’s breath against my ear. It reeks of alcohol and he’s holding my hips tight. I turn around to look at him to say hello. He drags me to the bar and away from my dancing friends. Already i’m tired of this.

The night goes on of Ethan being touchy and slurring his words. Constantly going back to the bar so him and his friends can have another round. I stopped drinking once I got here and the soberness is hitting me, making this get old real fast.

“I have to say you look so hot tonight” he slurs. Of course he didn’t say beautiful. That’s what Matt says. He’s not like Matt.

his hands roam my body as he tries to pull me in closer. “Why don’t we order an uber and go back to my place?” He whispers trying to pull me in. “I think i’m gonna head home. I have to up early tomorrow.” i lie. “Y/n stayyy the night has just begun and i don’t wanna go home alone” he says not letting me go.

“Ethan I can’t my rides almost here I need you to let go of me.” he’s still pulling me in as I push away. “Ethan seriously stop.” I finally shove his drunk self off of me and he stumbles back.

“God y/n why are you acting like this? I know you got all dressed up for me tonight. Don’t be such a prude. I knew i should of picked julia” he scoffs and stumbles away. leaving me standing there with tears in my eyes. It’s not the fact that Ethan said that to me, it’s what he said to me.

I quickly walk out the bar bringing myself outside. Taking out my phone to call someone.

“Hey what’s up?” Matt picks up quickly. His voice soothing me as tears still come out of my eyes.

“Can you come get me? E-Ethan just did something shitty and I just wanna come home.” as i’m talking I hear the noise of Matt grabbing his keys and walking out the door.

“Of course i’ll be there in 5. I see your find my friends don’t move i’ll be there soon I promise.” He says as i hear his car starting. “Okay thank you so much.”

“Of course sweetheart” my heart pings when he calls me that name. It rarely ever comes out unless we are in situations like this and every-time he says it i feel like i could melt away.

I sit outside in the cold and wait for Matt’s car to pull up, slightly shivering.

I see his car quickly pull up and him step out and rush over to me. He grabs me and opens the car door. Helping me in without a word but I we don’t need to talk. I know he’s mad about Ethan.

The drive home I tell Matt about what happened. a couple tears falling down my face when I get overly emotional and his hand resting on my knee. Not in a flirtatious or sexual way. Just a way of letting me know he’s here and listening. When we pulled into our apartment complex he came around and opened my car door for me. We walked up to our shared place and hurried in from the cold.

“Go change out of your dress and we can watch a movie if you want in my room? I’ll let you pick it tonight” he said singing the last part as of he was trying to convince me. As if I needed to be convinced. “That sounds perfect”

***

Me and Matt laid in his bed sharing it. I’ve slept in here numerous amounts of times, but something about tonight feels different. I just wanna be close to him. We both laid with our bodies facing each other but our heads turned to the tv. Our heads laying on two different pillows.

“what are you thinking about” Matt said making me direct my eyes to his. His icy ones already staring back at me. “i was just thinking about how shitty tonight was. And how grateful I am to have someone like you” i said giving him a smile.

“i’m really grateful to have you too. I was scared i’d come here and really miss my brothers but it feels really natural and reassuring being with you. Feels like i’m not far away from anyone.” i just blinked at him.

“I know that sounds weird but I just mean i really am glad I chose you to be my roommate and that I have you. You’re always there for me and i’ll always be there for you. You laugh at my jokes and you make me laugh. You’re the best option out there” Matt whispers giving me a smile. “Aww Matt your getting all soft on me” I giggle “Trust me i’m so happy to have you too” i say genuinely.

“come here” Matt says pulling me into a hug as we lay down. I cuddle into him and listen to his heartbeat. Calm and gentle. like him.

“you’re the only guy who’s ever called me beautiful” u blurred out.

he squeezes me before pulling back to look at my face and meet my eyes.

“And i’ll say it every day a million times” he breathed out

“you’re so special to me y/n you have no idea” He’s staring into my eyes like earlier again. the air gets thick again and i feel the tension build up around us.

“give me an idea”

Matt crashes his lips onto mines and somehow pulls me in tighter. As if he wouldn’t I would disappear.
