matty healy, falling in love over night

four months later

"i didn't even know you kept this stuff" he said

"i didn't know i had it either until i was checking boxes for moving" i told him

he turned the page once more to see us on the beach in brighton

"oh god we need to take rose here one day" he said

"i will never ever go back to brighton with you" i told him

"yeah it was a mess" he admitted

"okay let's finish the book later you have many more presents to get through"

"really?" he said

"YES! 23 is a big one healy"

"it is?" he asked

i thought about it, i guess it wasn't really

"well any birthday of yours is big to me and rosey rose so suck it up daddy o"

"if i didn't love you i'd definitely hate you" he laughed leaning forward to kiss me

"the rest of your presented are in the spare let me go get them!" i said getting off the bed and taking one look at him before leaving the rooms. he was sat shirtless, cross legged in bed with rose sat opposite him trying to copy her dad. her legs were half crossed trying to copy him, i love it.

matty was playing peekaboo with her and she went ballistic loving it, i watched the way he smiled for her.

he was 23 today but he looked younger than i'd seen him in months, he looked happy and at peace, i'd never seen him like this until we moved in here. it's like all the demons have left him and all that's left is the matty before all the bad shit.

i went to the spare room and picked up the 6 boxes and packages before skipping back to our room.

"here ya go healy" i said handing him all the gifts, rose loved it and started trying to pick them up

"aww" i said

"you're so clever rosey!" matty told her, she looked at him with big eyes and i knew that look. she absolutely adored him

me too rose.

3pm

matty had gone for a shower even though george had arrived so i was preparing the food, this was good because me and george needed to all about the present that him and the boys had gotten him

george had arrived, i couldn't wait for him to give matty the present. him and the rest of the boys had asked me what he wanted and i knew what would be a good idea, i knew matty was gonna love it.

"heya" george said coming into the kitchen to help me set the table for the food

"hiya georgie"

"does he have any idea?" , i shook my head

"nope! i managed to get the stuff though" i said handing him the package of things he needed to complete the present

"you're an angel"

"will you check rose is okay? she's on that swing set again and she loves it but-"

"hey chill i'll check"

"thankyou" i said before i returned to the oven to check on the food. i heard george talking to rose outside and yelled

"i'm just gonna get changed and i'll be back"

"okay!"

i ran up the wooden stairs to mine and mattys room to pick an outift, the weather was warm so i didn't want to be wearing anything that was too thick. i brushed through my wardrobe before i found an outift i'd been meaning to wear.
