THIRD PERSON POV

"CAN I TELL YOU A SECRET, YAH? // GIRL YOU BRIGHTEN UP MY WORLD."

matt and y/n laid in his bed, both on either side curled into fetal positions facing each other, their foreheads nearly touching as they smiled at one another, trying their hardest not to giggle.

"can i tell you a secret, y/n?" matt whispered as the girl blinked slowly, smiling softly as she nodded.

"you make me happy. like you make the world seem so bright compared to what my anxiety makes it seem." matt hummed as he tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"yeah?"

"yeah, i mean it."

"well you do the same for me, matt." she smiled back, straightening out her legs as her arms wound around his waist, her head falling against his chest, almost like it was meant to rest there as their breathing slowed, quickly falling into an easy slumber.

CAN'T YOU TELL I WANT YOU BY MY SIDE // LIKE DO YOU MIND?

matt packed his suitcase, both his brothers in similar situations as they prepared for a month long tour across the states.

his door opened, revealing his best friend on the other side, a solemn look her face as she stepped into the room. she silently joined matt, folding his shorts and sweats as he folded his shirts and other pants.

"i wish you could come with me." matt sighed as she returned from his bathroom, his shaving kit held in her grasp, a wordless exchange happening between the two as she passed him the leather bag, followed by a sad smile.

"i wish i could go too." she whispered back, her head on his shoulder as his arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his side.

"i don't know what it is but i want you by my side all the time. you make me feel safe and content." matt spoke, his lips pressing against the side of her as he spoke.

"i wouldn't mind being by your side all the time. i think i'd enjoy it." she laughed slightly, turning to look up at matt who had a soft ghost of a smile on his lips.

after placing his suitcases in the living room by the top of the stairs, matt returned to his room, his hands immediately intertwining with y/n's as he playfully smirked at her.

"wanna spend the night? we don't leave until about nine tomorrow." matt hummed, falling back against his mattress, already pulling her down on top of him as she laughed.

"okay." she replied, sighing softly as matt's fingers nimbly carded through her soft hair, gently scratching at her scalp as she laid on top of him.
