Alternative Meeting (Mattholomule x Gus)

The Confession (Chapter 10)

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for. The confession!!!!!! Homosexual, gay, homosexual.

Gus's POV:

Me and Willow were walking down the almost empty hallways, some witches were laying down on the floor. Others were leaning against the lockers. After a bit, we finally reached our destination, the plant homeroom. There was a lot that we had to get done, I was planning on telling Matt that I like him. After all this time. I really hope that he likes me back. Because if he doesn't then our whole friendship will get ruined completely. I got a pen and paper and started jotting down some ideas we could use to decorate the room. It has to be PERFECT, maybe that'll up my chances on Matt liking me back? I let out a frustrated groan, "Willow." I'd whine "What if he doesn't like me back, maybe we should do this another time. I mean, we have ALL week." I could feel sweat beads form on my forehead. "No, it's either now or never." She quickly shot back, pointing her finger at me. "Don't back out on me now, Gus." Willow squinted her eyes while staring into my soul. "Yes ma'am." I replied out of pure fear.

I finally had an idea of what I wanted to do with the room, I then drew the idea on a blank piece of paper. Not wanting to miss any details, I kept checking over it multiple times. Again, it needs to be perfect. The drawing looks exactly like how I imagined it, I showed the drawing to Willow and she then nodded. She spun her finger around, vines start coming out of the ground. Flowers were attached to them, the vines then tangled themselves into each other creating an arch. Now, I had to do my part. I got out some paper flowers that Luz helped me make back in the human realm. I poured them out of the box and quickly scattered them all over the floor. "Willow, could you possibly make a bouquet of flowers?" I'd request, she gave me a thumbs up and quickly got to work. The plant witch rotated her finger in a circular motion, causing breathtaking flowers grew from the ground. They were beautiful, I plucked them and started sniffing the flowers. They smelt just as good as they looked. "Wow, Willow, your plant magic is AMAZING!" I complimented her, the statement was true. She's always been a powerful witch.

"Aww, thank you!" She replied with a slight giggle. I put the flowers into a bundle, I then looked around the room. It was either decorated with vines, flowers, fake flowers, pedals, or fake plants. The room looked beautiful, I really hope that Matt would like me back. Though, I fully understand if he doesn't. It wouldn't surprise me I guess. My smile quickly formed into a frown. "What's wrong?" Willow put her hand on my shoulder while giving me a sympathetic look. "I was just thinking.." I paused for a moment before continuing with my sentence, "What if he doesn't like me back? I mean, we would've done this all for nothing." I'd lean against the wall that was behind me and start sliding down it. "Gus, I'm 99% sure that he likes you back. I mean, have you seen the way he looks at you? When you were talking with him earlier, he was clearly happy to just be next to you." The older girl tried comforting the sad illusionist, "Thank you Willow, for everything" I'd smile at her after regaining my confidence. I then pull her into a hug, (NOT A SHIP.) "Now, are we done or do we have more to do?" She asked me. My eyes examined the drawing, it looked exactly like the classroom that we were in. "I'm pretty sure we're done!" I felt extremely proud of us.

 I glanced over to the clock, it was almost time for Matt to arrive. I swiftly shooed Willow out the door. I walked over to the arch with the bouquet in hand, silence filled the air. The only thing I could hear was the clock ticking. My arms started to shake out of nervousness and fear. The same thoughts lingered my brain 'what if he says no' and 'this whole thing could ruin our friendship'. Though, I quickly thought back to what Willow said. I need to calm down. As I was in the middle of that thought, the door opened, revealing a short brown haired boy. A huge smile formed onto my face. He looked around the room and stepped in a bit more, closing the door behind him. "What's all of this?" He tilted his head slightly, pointing to all around the room. "Oh, uhm, nothing." I didn't know how to respond to that. He started looking at what was in my hands, the bouquet! I almost forgot about that. "These are for you!" I extended my arms out, handing the flowers to him. He looked at the sudden gift as blush grew on his face. "Thank you..?". The constructionist took the flowers.

We'd both go silent, "So, what's going on?" Matt asked after a good three minutes. My legs started shaking as I swallowed the lump in my throat. I'd start stumbling over my own words, still unsure if I actually wanted to go through with this. After a few seconds of calming down, I finally responded "Matt, I know this is a horrible time to do this because of everything going on. But I can't keep this in much longer. I really like you, I understand if you don't feel the same. Though I don't want this to affect our friendship. I really don't want to lose you." I'd finally confess to him, he looked at me with a shocked expression. His mouth is slightly open and his eyes were wide. Though despite his expression, his face is covered in a bright shade of red. "I like you too." He responded after a few seconds. I could feel my face heat up, "Well, what are we then?" I asked while pausing mid sentence. "What do you want us to be?", I looked at the ground. Wanting to avoid eye contact with him at the moment. "Could we.. be boyfriends?" I'd start messing with my hands. "Mm, I think I would like that."

 He stepped closer to me, I looked up at him as we both started glancing at each other's lips. I slowly started leaning in as he did the same. Finally, we closed the gap between our lips. The kiss only last a few seconds before we both pulled away. We shared a smile with each other. "I love you, Jerk." I'd let out a soft giggle, "I love you too, twerp."

I'M SOOSOSOSOOOOO SORRY FOR THE ENDING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AFTER YOU KISS SOMEONE. ALSO, THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER!! I'LL BE STARTING A NEW STORY SOONER OR LATER BUT YK. RN I NEED A BREAK. I LOVE YOU ALL SM! BYEEEEE<33 (1171 words)
