WHEN I'M NOT WITH YOU I GO THROUGH WITHDRAWALS

matt tossed and turned in the hotel bed that was supposed to be his place of rest for the night. however he couldn't settle comfortably.

he knew what was missing, he just didn't want to admit that he had grown accustomed to falling asleep with his best friend in his arms.

he didn't want to admit that he could only fall asleep to the sound of her light breathing as she slept with her head on his chest or her back pressed to his chest.

he refused to admit that he couldn't sleep if his head wasn't pressed against her chest, the slow thrum and of her heartbeat and the rise and fall of her chest as she slept bringing him the utmost comfort he had ever known.

he'd never admit that he couldn't fall asleep without having his hair played with though, her nails scratching lightly across his shoulder blades as he rubbed soft circles against her hip.

groaning, matt blindly felt for his phone under his pillow, unlocking it, and scrolling through his favourited contacts with heavily lidded eyes. with a final, disgruntled sigh, he pressed y/n's contact.

he felt bad calling so late, it was half past four his time so he knew it was at least half past three for her. after two rings, her face appeared on screen, dimly lit by her phone.

"what's up?" she croaked, her voice thick with sleep as she rubbed her eyes.

"i really fucking need you to fall asleep on facetime with me or i won't be able to sleep." matt whispered, his demands almost coming out as a whimper as desperation and sleep deprivation clouded his mind.

"okay." she replied, a brief period of shuffling was heard from her end before her face reappeared, her phone now propped up against a spare pillow and plugged in.

matt smiled as her eyes fluttered shut, his own shutting briefly after, the sound of her light snores lulling the boy to sleep.

IT'S LATE BUT LET'S TAKE ONE MORE DRIVE // JUST YOU AND I 

y/n unlocked the door to the triplets' los angeles home, beating the boys to their house by at least twenty minutes. giggling to herself, she sat on the staircase leading from the front door. it was about midnight when the boys unlocked their door, their minds and bodies exhausted from the last month as they piled into the front foyer, all halting at the sight of their best friend waiting for them.

"hi!" she laughed loudly pulling each of them into a long hug, saving the longest for matt as he tightly wrapped his arms her waist, burrowing his face against her neck, deeply inhaling her leftover perfume.

"hi y/n/n. i missed you so fucking much." matt whimpered, tears stinging his eyes as one of her hands rested against the back of his head, gently gripping his hair that grown fairly long over the month.

"hi matthew." she breathed out, her other hand sliding beneath his hoodie, resting against his bare back, gently scratching over the skin.

"can we go for a drive? just you and me? i know it's late but i need alone time with you." matt asked pulling back to look at her. his hands gently cupped her face as she smiled, leaning into his touch.

"yeah i'd love that."

OH, WE'RE GONE WITH THE WIND // HAIR IN YOUR FACE

matt watched as city blew by in a blur, the lights flashing over them as they drove through the empty late night streets of los angeles.

y/n and matt both had their windows down, the wind whipping wildly as her hair impaired her vision. her laugh rang through the car as she pushed the hair out of her face, meeting matt's eyes briefly as he smiled at her.

it was then, as he watched her sitting in the passenger seat, singing loudly to their shared playlist as it played from the speakers, that he knew she was the love of his life.

there was no one else for him. he was as gone for her as the wind the second it whined in their ears. there was no turning back.

PUT MY HAND ON YOUR WAIST // STRAWBERRY SKIES, ALL ON YOUR LIPS CAUSE I LOVE HOW IT TASTE

the two had pulled off onto a dirt road, laying atop the hood of the van, their backs against the front window as they watched the stars.

at some point matt gently rolled onto his side, his hand falling to her waist, turning her to face him.

"hi." he whispered, returning her shy smile as they made eye contact.

"hi." she giggled, reaching up to run her fingers through his hair.

without a moment's hesitation, matt pulled her closer to him, his lips meeting hers in a fervent kiss, one that had been bound to happen for months now. her fingers curled into the hair on the back of his head as his fingers dug into her hip.

"you taste like strawberries." matt giggles as they pulled away, making the rosy blush that dusted her cheeks evident as the moonlight lit their faces.

"it's the same brand of chapstick that you gave me back in fourth grade when we met. i've used the same brand and flavour ever since." she laughed, watching as matt sat up, sliding off of the van's hood and holding his hand out to her, bringing her to feet. as he walked her to the passenger door, he gently nudged her backwards so that her back was flush with the van's door.

"kiss me again, please. i cant get enough." matt begged, both of his hands holding her hips as hers held either side of his jaw, bringing his head down to hers.

the two tilted their heads in opposite directions, deepening the kiss as they were finally able to express everything they felt. pulling away they looked at each other again, matching lovesick smiles on their faces.

"i love you, y/n."

"i love you most, matt."
