Alternative Meeting (Mattholomule x Gus)

Advice (Chapter 9)

I'm so sorry if this chapter turns out bad, but next chapter I promise won't. 😻

Matt's POV:
I fell asleep, leaning my head on the wall as Augustus rested his head on my shoulder. At first I was shocked but I slowly but surely eased into the position.

The next morning

As expected, I woke up first. My eyes looked down at the Illusionist's head. I wanted to make sure he was still comfortable and alright. He was peacefully sleeping on my shoulder. I guess my shoulder is pretty comfortable. I thought to myself. After looking at Augustus for a long time, I heard a knock on the door. I slowly put his head on the ground as I got up to answer it. The door was wide open and I saw Jerbo standing behind it.
"What do you want?" I asked, sounding a lot more mean then I intended.
"Sorry, I just wanted to ask if you want to come up with more ideas. Boscha denied every single one of them." Jerbo responded while rubbing the back of his neck.

I'd sigh, "Well, there really isn't any point in doing so. Boscha will just keep denying our plans. Even if they're really good.". Jerbo nodded, "though I do need some.. uhm, advice." I looked over at Gus as he was still sleeping peacefully. He let out soft snores. I couldn't help but blush. My friend realized that and started smirking, "So, you have a crush? Is that what you need help with?" My eyes widen and the red on my face quickly got brighter. I started stammering over my words. "WELL, MAYBE." I said a little too loud. The illusionist groaned and I quickly covered my mouth, not wanting to wake him up.

I grabbed Jerbo's wrist and quickly got out of the room, I quietly closed the door behind me as we went out to the empty hallway. I'd let my hand slip off his wrist. As I don't need to drag him anywhere else. It was too early in the morning for a lot of people to be up. This time of day, it's very quiet. "I do need advice on my.. crush. I don't know if you have answers because im pretty sure you've never pulled anyone before." The tall boy looked offended at the constructionist's words. "I DONT MEAN IT LIKE THAT." I whisper yelled. "But, please, I really need some advice. I don't know what to do because I've never had a crush before." I then admitted, it was an embarrassing face about me. It's not my fault though, I just don't get attracted to people that easily. (AROACE MATTY!! CANNON 😋😋)

"Well, what I usually do in these situations is that I try hinting that I like them. With either small actions or words.", I was surprised that Jerbo can give decent advice. "Oh! Well, thank you." I decided that I needed to give Augustus a gift. Maybe that'll win his heart. "I need to go work on that right now, BYE." I'd start to run off, I was heading to where other students sold their things. Hoping someone was selling flowers or something. When I finally arrived, there wasn't too many people there. As it is still early in the morning. I looked around, walking from stall to stall. So far, no one had what I needed. Until I got to a stall that was empty. '5 snails for candy'. The candy seemed a bit off, though, it'll do. I looked around and the shop keeper wasn't here. I just left my 5 snails on his counter and got some candy from the stall. I quickly stuffed it into my pocket and ran out of that area.

It was now 11:37 in the morning, I was on a bench in the middle of the school. My sketchbook was out and I was trying to think of what to draw. My mind immediately went to Augustus, I could feel my face heat up, leaving it a light shade of red. "Well, I cant think of anything else. I guess it'll do." I'd mumble to myself. I started sketching his head, then his ears, then his eyes. I loved his eyes, especially his eye color. I then started on his hair, I then finished the drawing after adding some details. I set my sketchbook beside me as it was still on that certain page. I'd close my eyes and begin yawning. My arms were stretched out until I heard a familiar voice coming from right beside me, "Oh wow, this drawing is really good, Matty!". I jumped slightly, I quickly turned my head to see who it was and it was Augustus. The one and only. I snatched my sketchbook back. "Thank you, I guess." I responded very quietly.

Suddenly, I remembered the candy I was supposed to give him. My hand reached into my pocket, as soon as I felt the candy, I pulled it out and handed it to the illusionist. "That's for you." My lips curled up, forming a smile. Augustus's attention went towards the gift. His face glew up. "Wow, thank you! That was oddly nice of you." He looked up at me as my face turned red. "Mmmhm, you're welcome." I tried avoiding eye contact. "That reminds me, are you able to meet me in plant homeroom tomorrow at 1 in the afternoon?" Augustus looked kinda nervous while asking that, his cheeks got a little pink. I smiled in response "Sure! I'd love to spend time with you." I'd answer his question. As we kept talking, hours went by. Anytime I spend time with him, time flies. There has never been a moment where I was bored when talking or hanging out with him.

It was now 6 in the evening, we kept talking until his plant friend, I think her name is Willow, showed up. She whispered something into Augustus's ear. He'd nod at her and whisper something back. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but hopefully they weren't taking bad about me. "well, it was fun talking to you, Matty. But I have to go, see you tomorrow!" The illusionist smiled as he got up. "Oh! See you, also, stop calling me Matty." I responded. He gave me a thumbs up, clearly not actually meaning it as he walked away with his friend. As soon as he was out of sight I let out a deep breath. I laid down on the bench,  my head facing the ceiling. People around me were chattering. I felt at peace.

I FINALLY GOT ENOUGH MOTIVATION TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER!! THOUGH I KNOW THAT THE NEXT CHAPTER WONT BE OUT FOR A WHILE. I LOVE YOU ALL, I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT1!1!1 😋😋
