Chapter Text
Going to house parties was always fun. Throughout high school they were fun and at Uni the flat parties were on a different level. What was even better, was getting to have house parties with your school friends again once you were all actually old enough to drink.
Since leaving high school, you had only stayed in close contact with about 3 friends out of a group of 25. These three were Alisha, Caroline and your best friend, Y/B/F. You didn’t mind only being in immediate contact with them. When you saw the rest of them now and again, you got on like a house on fire. It was like you never left.
And of course, you replied to them in the group chat when someone made you laugh. You often kept a close eye on all the banter that was going on and they rarely failed to make you laugh. They were a crazy bunch and even you couldn’t deny that.
It was your third and final Christmas coming home from University and your school friends that you left behind couldn’t wait to see you again. You don’t know how they had managed it but apparently they had persuaded your old friend Steve to have another one of his famous house parties.
Throughout high school, Steve’s mum and dad were chill about having a whole house of underage kids drinking, which was great for you and your friends. If you were anyone in your school year, you would be invited to his party. Thankfully you always had been, and you got to witness all of the shenanigans that your peers got up to.
You had seen some crazy shit. You remember at one party in particular that you couldn’t go anywhere without something ridiculous happening. One particular party when you were in Year 10, you found yourself not believing your 15-year-old eyes.
At first it was a normal night, you’d all been drinking and having a blast. The odd behaviour started when you were searching for your best friend. You remember walking into the back room to get more alcohol and seeing Tim, Steve’s older brother do coke. Which was not something you ever expected to see.
After that you went upstairs still in search for your friend, when you walked into Steve’s bedroom. In there was a group of about 10 people smoking weed.
That behaviour was quite common at these parties though. What was odd was that they were all intently watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas on TV.
It was weird considering it was mid-July but you brushed past it. You asked the group if they had seen your best friend and the people who paid attention shook their head.
George waved you over and as you stood next to him, he put his arm around your back and hugged you into his side. As he was sat on Steve’s bed, he was the perfect height to rest your arm on his shoulder. That was, of course, after you ran your fingers through his messy dirty blonde hair.
“You want some?” George offers you his joint and you shook your head.
The last time you smoked weed was with Y/B/F and you ended up having a bit too much. You didn’t want that happening again anytime soon especially in front of other people.
“Fairs” George says before taking a drag. George had been protective over you for a while now and always took care of you at these parties and in school.
He had been like that since Year 8. It originated when he found you practically being pushed down the stairs at school.
Throughout Years 7 and 8, you were bullied by the people in your class almost daily. But after George pushed the kid down the stairs instead of you, people started leaving you alone.
He didn’t let anyone give you shit from that day on and you would be eternally grateful that he did that.
George always looked out for you and when he needed help you looked out for him. For example, since then you had always supported him and his band Drive Like I Do and went to every gig that you could.
They were actually decent which was surprising to a lot of people and you could see them having a future if they all put their minds to it. You actually loved going to their gigs anyway, partly because all of your friends went and partly because you thought that Matty was fit as fuck.
You don’t know why. You knew that he was the class clown in high school from the Art class that you shared with him. But when you were in school, you never really thought of him that way. Not until he was up on stage and became the guy with 0 fucks to give.
That somehow made you think he was really attractive. You don’t know why that became a trait that was attractive to you, but it definitely was.
Matty had always been someone you were sort of envious of. He seemed very carefree and intelligent and you struggled with both of these things. You had to revise really hard for all of your exams in high school and you worried about almost every aspect of it.
Which made the parties a lot nicer for you because you just let all your worries go for the night.
After chatting with George for a bit, he again made sure you were okay which was adorable, and you went back on your search. You don’t know where your best friend had gone which you weren’t surprised by. She always had a habit of disappearing.
The next thing you did was when you made the biggest mistake of the evening. You noticed that Tim’s bedroom door was open, and you thought that people might be gathered inside.
However, you walked in to find Matty shagging a girl in your year called Kayleigh.
You were completely gobsmacked at the sight in front of you and you hastily turned around and closed the door behind you. You couldn’t believe they didn’t even shut, let alone lock, the fucking door.
No one needed to see that.
You were thankful that they didn’t see you as they were both veryoccupied and you removed yourself from the room very quickly.
You found yourself laughing at the situation and then you really wanted your best friend so you could tell her what you’d just seen. You were surprised that you didn’t feel hurt by seeing that, you just felt the tiniest bit jealous.
When you went back downstairs and moved your way into the garden, you thankfully found your best friend sat by the fire pit. There were a few other people around listening to Adam and Ross play their guitars softly.
You sat yourself down between your best friend and Adam and you found yourself unable to remove the grin off your face. It was just bizarre; you definitely hadn’t expected to see that.
You best friend could tell that something was up straight away.
“What’s so funny?” She asked and you found yourself unable to stop smiling.
You turned to Adam who was just strumming random chords, “I think you need to tell Matty to lock the door when he’s shagging someone”
Adam immediately stopped playing and looked at you with a shocked expression. Both he and your best friend called out, “What?” extremely loud.
Adam got Ross’ attention and he came closer to you as well. All three of them obviously wanting to hear the story. Not that there was much to tell.
You remember telling them and Adam and Ross started creasing with laughter.
They said that they were going to bully him for it, but you made them promise not to say that it was you who told them. Thankfully they did promise, and you thought nothing of it until later when Matty came down and they started laying into him.
He was so confused as to how they knew, and you found it extremely difficult to keep a straight face. After about 5 minutes everyone seemed to know and Matty didn’t even seem to care.
This was not the reaction that Kayleigh was looking for from him though. She looked fuming at him joking around about it.
She went home with her friends about 20 minutes later and Matty didn’t even say bye. Fucking savage.
As the night went on, you remember a group of around 10 of you moving inside to the now empty lounge and you all partook in a game of spin the bottle. It was fairly common at these parties and Steve had just made up a new rule that whatever number that the dice landed on was the time that you had to kiss for.
Everyone jumped on board with the new rule fairly quickly and no one complained about it until George had to kiss you for 3 seconds. He kissed you on your cheek which you thought was cute considering your dynamic.
He clarified to the group, “She’s literally like my sister” which you couldn’t help but smile at because you thought of him as your protective brother.
When it got around to your go, you span the bottle not really caring about who you got. You just hoped it wouldn’t be George.
You started chatting with your best friend after you span it to ease the nerves you felt.You averted your eyes from the bottle as you looked back outside to Caroline who was now asleep.
You both let out a laugh as you saw Alisha trying to get her up. However, your laugher died down when you saw that the bottle had stopped on Matty. You felt your stomach flip.
As someone passed you the dice, George said, “Careful Y/N, you don’t know where he’s been”
The group around you laughed and you let out a chuckle.
Ross then added “Well actually we do” and nudged Matty making the whole group laugh again.
Matty joked, “Don’t worry Y/N/N, I’ve had some mouthwash” which made you shake your head chuckling at him.
You rolled the dice and of course you rolled a 5 which you were unsure if it was a blessing or a curse. But you couldn’t even deny that you were excited about it. After all, you did fancy the boy.
But before you could even prepare yourself, the moment was upon you. Matty had already shuffled across the circle and was in front of you, ready to go.
After raising yourself on your knees to match his height, Matty quickly moved the hair that was in front of your face out of the way and grabbed you by the back of your neck and pulled you into him. When your lips met, he wasted no time at all.
His kiss was soft but you could also sense that he knew exactly what he wanted out of the act. There was no hesitation in the gesture, it was just you that he wanted and you were feeling the exact same way.
Matty didn’t even hesitate to open your mouth further and let his tongue tease yours. Your hand came up and cupped one side of his face before your fingers laced themselves in the hair on the back of his neck.
He wasn’t even joking when he said he’d had the mouthwash; You could taste the peppermint on his tongue. You could hear everyone around you counting slowly up to five like they had been doing for everyone and when it got to 5 you were surprised to find that Matty didn’t stop.
You were obviously both too invested, Matty’s other hand coming up to hold your side to pull you closer to him more. You never quite imagined that you would fully pull him in front of everyone and he would keep it going as if it was only you two.
You really really weren’t complaining though. His fingers were pulling on your hair and everything that he was doing made you get a bit braver. You pulled a little harder on his hair which made him groan slightly and that made you smile into the kiss.
You were thankful only you heard it because of the commotion around you. Everyone was obviously shook that you were still kissing and they were screaming, “Ohhh” around you.
After a few more seconds, Matty finished the kiss leaving you wanting more. He definitely knew what he was doing and was trying to show off to everyone around him. Not that you were opposed to that, being on the receiving end of it.
When you turned back to your best friend, she had the biggest grin on her face which caused you to smile back at her. You didn’t want it to seem like it was a big deal though, so you just shrugged your shoulders and watched as the game went on.
You remember purposely diverting your eyes from Matty’s as you didn’t want to make it obvious that what just happened was the best moment of your life.
When you did catch his eye though, he would send you a little smirk which made your heart beat faster. You smiled and shook your head back at him and the night went on.
Since then he always made slightly more effort with you in school and you would chat to him more often than you used to. When you passed each other in the corridor he would ask, “You alright?” whereas in the past you would just share a smile.
That was the craziest party you had been to until you got to uni. Uni was great and you did love it, but it made your old parties look like child’s play. Sometimes you just found yourself wanting your friends from back in Manchester to enjoy the mischief with you.
Over the years, George had messaged you a few times to ask you how you were getting on in Leeds. However, the rest of the band you just spoke to when you saw them, and you didn’t see them often.
In fact, today was the first time you would be seeing all of your old group of friends all together since you left school. You don’t know how but Steve had managed to get most of your big group of friends back together for a Christmas house party.
The party started at 7 but you obviously didn’t get there until 9. At that point you went in and were greeted with a bunch of smiling faces of people that had apparently missed you.
Before you knew it, you’d found Steve and he picked you up and twirled you around in a big hug.
“Oh my god, I’ve missed you so much” He grins when he puts you down.
“Aw I’ve missed you too” You tell him and give him another hug. After the tight squeeze he put you at an arms width away from him.
“You look amazing” Steve told you, his eyes glancing down your body.
You looked down at yourself and smiled. You were wearing skinny black jeans and a transparent purple button up blouse. You could see your lacy black bra through it but it wasn’t a big deal.
You also had your black Doc Marten heels on too and you felt pretty. A lot prettier than the last time you had stepped into this house.
Since you last saw Steve you had grown a lot and lost quite a bit of weight. This was thanks to the gym at your college and your Uni.
You weren’t surprised by his reaction to you looking different. You hadn’t seen him in person since the end of summer 4 years ago, the year you all left high school.
You made Steve laugh because you’d brought your bag full of alcohol like old times. Everyone used to bring their own alcohol and keep it in his back room.
Apparently, you didn’t get the memo that Steve would be providing the alcohol this time around, but you put your bag in there anyway. You took out a bottle of cider and started roaming the house you once knew like the back of your hand.
You knew your best friend was here somewhere, but you saw her earlier on for pre drinks, so you were in no rush to find her just yet.
You had to go back home from hers because you needed the things you’d left at your house. You were going to stay at hers tonight and you forgot to bring your stuff. So, you had a change of clothes and a night shirt stuffed underneath your alcohol.
You went around the house and mingled with the people that you once knew. You asked what they had been up to and you told them. You forgot how much you actually missed these people.
You were in the middle of a conversation with a guy called Ben that you used to sit next to in history, when you heard your name being screamed through the room.
“Y/N” They yelled, and you whipped your head around.
You saw George walk in from the back door and you jumped up saying, “Hey”
You quite literally ran over to him and jumped in him arms. He was so tall and muscly now. He had completely changed.
“I’ve missed you sooooo much!” You grinned as you wrapped your legs around his waist, and he held you to him.
You had really really missed him.
You hadn’t seen him in over a year and the last time you saw him it was only a brief encounter. You remember passing each other in the street and George stopping asking if it was you.
It was and you couldn’t believe how different he looked. Of course, you had seen his pictures on Facebook, but other than that you hadn’t seen him in person since you left school.
He was massive and ripped now.
Unfortunately, that day he was in a rush to go somewhere but you carried on your conversation over Facebook messenger. You did have a lovely catch up with him that lasted for hours of texting back and forth.
And nothing had changed when he messaged you earlier on today to ask if you were coming to Steve’s tonight.
“I’ve missed you too” He chuckled squeezing you tightly. After a few seconds he puts you down and you start chatting properly.
“So how are you doing?” He asks you.
“I’m great, home for two months now before I’ve gotta head back to Leeds” You inform him before taking another sip of your drink.
“That’s awesome, what are you doing again?” George asks with a curious look on his face.
“Psychology”
“Ah so you can read my mind” He jokes, and you roll your eyes at him.
“Oh yeah” You play along sarcastically.
“So, how’s it all going?” He asks you with a smile on his face.
“Yeah really well thank you, how are you doing?” You ask, returning the smile. You glance down at him and nod with a teasing, “You look great”
And he really did. He was wearing black skinny jeans too but with rips in them with a white top. His dirty blond hair was up in a bun and he looked so cute. Just like you remembered.
“Thanks,” He chuckles at you giving him a knowing look. He definitely appreciated the compliment, so he gave you your own with a cheeky smile, “Says you though, you look fantastic”
“Oh shush,” You laugh, returning his smile before it you asked him, “How’s the band? How are the boys?”
George chuckled and said, “Yeah they’re good thanks, Hann and Ross are outside and Matty is around somewhere” He told you and pointed outside to the other boys who were already around the fire pit.
“I have to say hey” You smiled, moving round George to get outside and he followed you back out.
You walked towards the boys that you hadn’t seen in such a long time and when they saw you, their faces brightened.
Ross got up first end gave you a bug hug saying, “Hey”
You exchanged pleasantries making sure he was good before you moved on to give Adam a hug. You found in school that you were one of the only people to actually call him by his first name.
There was another Adam in your year, but you hated him because he was one of the boys that bullied you. Therefore, you always ignored the others existence and continued to call this wonderful Adam by his first name.
“Adammmm” You dragged out at you gave him a hug.
God you didn’t realise how much you missed them all.
“Heyyyy” He chuckles returning your hug.
When you let go of him you looked back towards the three of them and realised how tall they had all gotten. Literal giants, holy shit.
“Jesus Christ, you’re all fucking massive now” You tell them, and they all laugh.
You chatted for a bit about each other and brought up a few memories from high school and of course the band came up quickly.
“How the band doing then? I haven’t seen you post anything on the Facebook page in ages” You asked them.
They all looked confused for a minute until Ross asked, “I’m sure we posted yesterday, right?” And the other boys around him nodded.
You furrowed your eyebrows and got your phone out of your pocket. You went on Facebook and typed ‘Drive Like I Do’ in at the top and brought the page up.
You shook your head and said, “No you haven’t posed since last December” You showed George your phone and when he looked at it, he started laughing.
You were confused for a second until he explained “No Y/N/N, we’re not called that anymore”
You were beyond confused by what he said and how you didn’t know about the change. George then continued to say “Yeah we’re called The 1975 now”
“What? Why did you change it?” You ask.
Adam chuckled, “Since Matty got it tattooed on his arm after one conversation about it”
You shook your head with disappointment. You weren’t even surprised by Matty’s antics, by the end of college he already had loads of tattoos from the pictures you’d seen.
“Have you released anything yet?” You asked.
“Nah not yet, were working on recording a few EP’s soon though because we have had interest from a label” George explained.
“Oh my god, that’s amazing” You grinned.
You were so happy for them.
“I told you you’d get there” You said wanting the credit for the years of encouragement.
You carry on to joke, “I’ll be your manager; I can get you loads of gigs in Leeds if you’re up for going that far”
Whilst they pretend to take you up on it, George says, “Might take you up on the gigs in Leeds though”
After a really nice chat with them all, you excuse yourself to go and get another drink and hopefully find your best friend. You’d been at the party for at least an hour and a half now and you probably should have found her by this point.
You climbed the stairs and checked the rooms that everyone used to be in. When you got into Steve’s room, you found a few people in there who you had to say hi to.
You sat with them for probably another 20 minutes and you found that your old friends Dan and Courtney were together. You never saw that coming, at one point they despised each other.
They gave you another drink as you were quickly finishing your own and you headed into another room to hopefully find her. You knocked on Tim’s, Steve’s brother, door this time and every time since you had walked in on Matty that day.
Thankfully when you did open the door, no one but Tim was there, so you said a quick hello to him. He asked how you were, and you told him you were great.
Tim was slightly older than Steve and he was lovely. He always looked out for you all before he left school and continued to make his appearance at Steve’s parties once he’d left.
You then moved on to check the bathroom as you remembered that people used to gather in there and drink the night away. Everyone used Steve’s downstairs toilet for their business and this one just became another room to party in.
As you walked in, you heard laughter that you would recognise anywhere.
Matty’s laugh echoed through the bathroom and you were certain you could hear your best friends giggle too. When you walk around the door, for a second you thought no one was there.
That was until you heard their laughter again. You looked to the side and then see that the shower curtain was pulled across the bath and of course they were both stupidly sat in the empty bath.
You pulled the white curtain back and were met with your best friend and Matty sat opposite ends of the large empty bath. You noticed that your friend had a bottle of cider, like you now had, in her hand and Matty was cradling a bottle of Smirnoff that had a quarter missing from it.
The whole room was littered with glass bottles and it looked like the party had just been in this room let alone the whole house. And you also noted that Matty was shirtless and wearing sunglasses for some reason.
“What you doing in here guys?” You asked, slightly amused at the situation.
“Hey Y/N” Your friend chirped.
Matty didn’t bother with the pleasantries, he just answered your question after swallowing a mouthful of vodka, “We were just reminiscing at how people used to just come in here and talk shit getting whilst getting drunk”
“Do you remember?” Your friend asked you and you nodded.
On a few occasions in the past, people had indeed spent the entire party in the bathroom. It was random and you never understood so just left the people to it.
“Yeah, I never really got why everyone did that” You told them as you were never one to actually do it.
“It’s actually quite fun” Your friend told you and Matty immediately agreed.
You smiled at him and asked, “So how are you Matty, not seen you in a while”
A while being just over 4 years.
“I’m grand thank you Y/N, how are you?” He asked pleasantly, putting the sunglasses on top of his head.
You watched as he looked up at you with bright drunk eyes.
You smiled at his dopiness and answered, “I’m great thanks”
“That’s good” Matty said and he went back to his conversation with your best friend.
You started talking to them about nothing in particular and half way through you get a bit bored of standing at a different level than them. So, you decided to squat down at the side of the bath. It was quite comfy in your heels, so you didn’t mind.
“Y/N, why don’t you just get in the middle?” You best friend said, and you just waved it off saying you were alright.
Matty then started, “Y/N/N just get in the fucking middle and be a part of the conversation properly”
You looked at him with wide questioning eyes in response to being told what to do, and he sent them back at you. After a second of looking and neither of you backing down, you did climb into the empty bath with them.
As you sat down in the middle of them, your back ended up being towards Matty and you faced your best friend. You chuckled silently at the situation.
You didn’t imagine yourself at the age of 21 being sat in a bath with your best friend and the boy you used to fancy like mad.
“I can’t see her now” Matty sighs putting a hand on your shoulder and pulling you back towards him with a little force. This caused you to fall back and your head hit his abdomen.
“Well this is comfy now” You dryly said, rolling your eyes.
Matty just chuckled looking down at you.
“Sit up” He instructed, and you did as you were told.
The next thing you knew his arm were around your waist and he dragged you back towards him until your back was flat against his chest. As he did this you were trying to suppress a smile.
You did the common ‘what the fuck is going on’ face to your friend and she was failing to hide her amusement.
“There we go” Matty said in a satisfied tone, before making you lean back against him.
You put your head to the left of his and you could just about see his jawline out of the corner of your right eye.
“You surely can’t be comfortable with the taps in your back?” You question, turning slightly to look up at him.
“It’s in my neck actually but it’s fine” Matty corrects you, before taking another swig from the bottle of vodka.
You shook your head and focused your attention back on your best friend in front of you. She had a cheeky smile on her face, and you could tell that she wanted to say something slightly risky.
You sent her a questioning look and she just came out and said what she was thinking. She grinned, “You would have freaked out 6 years ago if we were doing this then”
You send her an unamused glance and took a long drink of your cider. Her grin just got wider at your silence when you kept drinking.
You only stopped when Matty wondered, “What you on about?”
You started to shake your head at her, but she blurted it out anyway, “Y/N used to fancy you in school”
Your jaw dropped with her confession and you actually wanted to tell her where to go. You would never do that to her, you actually couldn’t believe she had just told him.
Bitch.
Not that you still had your crush on him, that died out a very long time ago. Yes he was still good looking now but you didn’t think about him all the time like you did in high school.
“Really?” Matty asked and you couldn’t tell whether his amusement was from the shock of the confession or just general amusement at the situation.
“Really.” Your friend confirmed before pulling out her phone.
You took another long sip of your drink and found that it was very nearly empty. How you wish you had more alcohol.
You sighed when Matty nudged you saying, “That’s fun to know Y/N”
You felt him start running lines up and down your left arm with the tips of his fingers. You didn’t hate the sensation, but you were hyperaware of it and you didn’t appreciate the teasing.
It was usually you doing that, not the other way around.
“Is it?” You questioned, really not amused at your friend.
You looked around the bathroom for anything that stood out, so you didn’t have to look at her. It had really annoyed you.
“Yeah, I think it is” Matty admits before taking another swig of vodka.
The smell of it hung in the air and you really didn’t know how he was stomaching it. Yet you found yourself wanting some to escape your situation.
It was silent for a second or two, not that you minded. You could hear the music from downstairs travelling up through the house and you actually loved the song that was playing.
“So, was this before or after spin the bottle?” You heard Matty ask.
You turn your head back around to look at him and you did so with a confused expression.
“How the hell do you even remember that?” You asked him.
He was completely fucked that night, in both senses of the world. You never thought he remembered.
“Probably the same way you do” He shot back looking down at you.
Being this close to him you could literally see every little detail of his face you once hoped to. 15 year old you really would be having a heart attack right about now.
You could tell he had shaved earlier on today as there was no stubble in sight. You could see all the little freckles that dotted around his face and you could see the brightness in his stunning brown eyes.
You looked at him for a moment and he just stared back at you as if waiting for something.
“So?” Matty pries.
You raised your eyebrows at him, silently asking, ‘what?’
“Was it before or after?” He asked again and you sighed and turned back around to your friend.
She was on her phone still, so you just took another sip of your drink before saying, “I don’t know, probably after”
You were trying to be as nonchalant as possible. You didn’t need to give this guy an ego boost as it was quite clearly big enough.
You felt like Matty was about to say something else to you until you best friend burst out laughing. You both looked at her confused until she turned her phone around, showing you both an old video of Matty and George messing around on the school field.
It was actually quite funny and both you and Matty started laughing too.
“I remember that so well” Matty told the both of you, before wanting a little confirmation, “It was the last day of school, right?”
You nodded, “Yeah because it’s on the park and we all brought alcohol and drank there until like 3am”
“Oh shit, yeah” Matty smiled, remembering the day well. He grins when he continues with, “And I got stuck inside that kids slide for about 20 minutes until Hann found me” which made you start chuckling.
“Shit yeah and it took us all like an hour to get you out” Your best friend said, and you burst out laughing at the memory.
It was so funny, you still remembered it well. It took you all so long because you were all laughing too much, therefore having no strength to get him out.
You went to have another sip of your drink but realised it was all gone. You balanced it on the side of the bath with ease and looked around the room for something else to drink.
All you saw was empty bottles until your eyes settled on the bottle of Smirnoff that was in Matty’s hand. You thought about it for a brief second, wondering if you would actually be able to stomach the vodka by itself.
You just thought you’d just give it a try. After all, this wasn’t your first time drinking spirits straight anymore.
You grabbed ahold of the bottom of the bottle and pulled it towards you. Matty let go of the bottle and watched as you brought it to your lips.
You took a mouthful of it and you would be lying if you said that it didn’t make you want to gag. You forced yourself to swallow it down and it burnt as it did.
You didn’t have spirits straight often. You did it once in your Uni flat with some friends and you were surprisingly okay it just took a while to get used to.
Matty was quite surprised that you didn’t have any reaction to drinking the vodka straight. Even George couldn’t do it straight without having some sort of reaction to it like coughing the first or second time.
And he was shocked that you took another swig after a few seconds as if it was just another cider.
You offered it back to Matty and he took it back from you to have another drink of it himself. You noticed that he had started trailing his fingers up and down the side of your arm again, which you eventually found oddly soothing.
At first you were on edge about it because you hadn’t seen him in so long but after a while you didn’t even notice he was doing it anymore. You had become too comfortable.
You’d probably been sat in the bath with them for about 2 hours when your friend finished her collection of ciders that she’d hid in a box on the floor. At the same time, you and Matty had almost polished off the bottle of vodka and you were now really using him as a pillow.
You were lent back against him as you had been all this time, almost as if he was your boyfriend or something. Matty had also started playing with a few strands of your hair that he kept twirling around his fingers.
You had no idea why, but you were now too drunk to question it.
“I’ll go and get us some more drinks” Your best friend announced which you and Matty both nodded at.
“Grab them outta my bag downstairs, there should be like five, six more ciders in there” You tell her, and she nodded before leaving the room.
After the door slams shut you and Matty don’t say anything to each other for a good few seconds. You end up sighing and then moving awkwardly over to where your best friend was moments before.
Once you lean back against the side of the bath you smile back at Matty. He, however, looked at you grumpily and said, “I’m cold now”
“Put your top back on then” You laugh, pointing towards it hanging off the sink near him.
“No, it’s soaking wet” Matty tells you and lifting it up as proof. It was actually dripping with alcohol like he told you it was when you questioned why he was shirtless.
“Maybe don’t spill drinks down yourself then… You wouldn’t have this problem” You fire back at him.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have moved, then I’d still be warm” Matty counter argues, as he pulls the shower curtain back across, hiding the two of you once more.
“I’m not your hot water bottle” You say, rubbing your tired eyes.
Matty mirrors you and started rubbing his eyes as he murmurs, “You felt like one”
You chuckle a little and roll your eyes. Matty looks at you blankly with a hint of sadness to his features.
“Fine, when she comes back, I’ll move back” You tell him and then a smile brightens his features.
“In the mean time…” Matty trailed off before pulling a box of cigs out of his pocket.
You notice him pull out a spliff and a lighter and you smile at him. Nothing has really changed.
Matty lit it up and took a long drag of it. He lent back against the wall and blew smoke out of his mouth as he let out a big sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes backup you smiled at him and he offered it to you.
You had smoked weed more than a few times at Uni with your friends so you didn’t mind it anymore. You reached over and took it from him with a gracious smile.
You take a drag of it and breathe in the toxins. As you inhaled it, you could see Matty watching you curiously and you frowned at him a little.
As you stopped inhaling and took it from your lips, you blew out the smoke. You couldn’t help but ask, “Why the fuck do you keep looking at me like that?”
Matty grinned as he took the joint back from you, “You keep surprising me”
“How am I surprising you by getting high?” You asked before getting the bottle of vodka from him.
You took a swig of it and saw that you were now really nearing the end of the bottle. Jesus, you had no clue how you were still awake after having this much vodka straight.
“You never struck me as the type” Matty told you before taking another drag.
You shook your head at him in disbelief and he laughed at you. He continues to explain, “You always seemed too innocent. Good at school, relatively good at the parties, never got in too much trouble”
“I can’t believe you just called me innocent” You scoffed at him before taking another drink.
He ran a hand through his messy hair and asked, “What? You were”
“Well I’m not anymore” You correct him before taking the spliff back out of his hand and taking another drag.
“Oooo Y/N/N,” Matty said in an amused tone. “What’ve you been up to whilst you were away?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know” You smirked at him before drinking some more vodka.
“I would” Matty sits forwards and reaches for the bottle. He took it out of your hand with ease and you watched as he gulped the clear liquid down.
You started telling him about the different stuff that you had tried out at Uni. It was nothing too extravagant but your stories with your Uni friends were good ones and you loved thinking back over your shenanigans.
Matty in return told you things that he and the other boys had been up to that was similar. Turns out you both got yourselves in sticky situations from time to time. You were passing the weed and the vodka between you as you told each other these stories.
You both found yourselves laughing at each other quite often. That was until you turned the conversation onto the actual band in general.
“So, why did you change the name? Especially to ‘1975’ or whatever it is?” You asked using air quotes.
“It’s ’The 1975’ actually and because I thought it was cool” Matty told you and you held your hands up at your mistake.
He smiled at your actions but then went on to tell you about the book that he’d found the date in.
“I just thought it was cool how he signed it ’The’ instead of just saying the year. It stuck with me I suppose” Matty explains before finishing off the joint.
You nodded as you drank some more. It did sound different and you were sure they would make it work.
You followed up with, “George was saying that a label or something was interested? How’s all that going?”
“Yeah, really good. They want us to record some stuff for them and the we can hopefully start putting EP’s out end of next year maybe beginning of 2012” Matty said sounding very positive and enthusiastic about it all.
“That good, I’m happy for you guys” You smiled. “I told you you’d get there in the end”
Matty frowns as he questioned, “Did you?”
You chuckled to yourself and corrected yourself, “Well I told George”
“Ah, of course you told George” Matty chuckles, before continuing to say something that makes your jaw drop, “I always thought you liked him”
“Are you joking?” You asked him, sitting up straight.
Matty shook his head at you and you watched as his curls swayed from side to side.
“God no, he was like my fucking brother. Fuck that. The thought makes me feel sick” You tell him honestly.
You loved George to death, but you never ever thought of him that way. And you don’t think you ever would.
And you were thankful that it seemed like Matty believed what you were telling him.
You had to ask, “What the fuck made you think that?”
Matty didn’t even have to think about it before saying, “I don’t know, you always came to our gigs and spoke to him afterwards”
“I spoke to you all afterwards” You defend yourself, running a hand through your hair in confusion.
“Well I thought you came to see George” Matty went on to say.
“I came to see you all, you fucking moron. I liked your music and I liked watching you on stage” You told him before getting the vodka back and downing the rest of it.
“Ooo…You liked watching me on stage Y/N/N?” Matty smirked, raising his eyebrows suggestively at you.
“Fuck off, you know I didn’t mean it like that” You shake your head, before playfully throwing the empty bottle back at him.
He caught it with ease, laughing at your actions.
Matty pressed on, “But you did like watching me on stage, right?”
You didn’t even deny it as your head really wasn’t in the right place to by lying at the moment. You were far too intoxicated.
“Maybe a little bit” You chuckled and it seemed to impress the brown eyed boy.
“Knew it” Matty grins before sticking his tongue out playfully at you.
You stuck yours back out at him before remind him, “Only cause I just told you”
Matty laughed at you then, saying, “Whatever” which also made you giggle.
After a few seconds you both went silent before you let out a big sigh. You and Matty had nothing left to keep you occupied.
The drugs had been smoked and you’d drank the alcohol. And your best friend was certainly nowhere in sight to be bringing you anymore.
“I don’t think she’s coming back with more alcohol Matty” You pout at him honestly and you both sigh again.
“Yeah, not looking good, is it?” Matty asked and you shook your head.
“I’ll go grab us the drinks and bring a few up so we don’t have to go back down” You told him before stumbling to get up and drawing back the shower curtain.
You don’t know why Matty insisted on keeping it closed, but you found it easier not to question it.
“I’ll be back in a minute” You announce before leaving the bathroom, making your way down the stairs.
You darted between the groups of people and headed to the back room where you’d left your alcohol. Thankfully it was all still there, and you got out 4 bottles to bring back upstairs with you.
On the way everyone left you alone, which you were thankful for. You were actually having a nice night having a catch up with Matty.
You liked that he really hadn’t changed, and he was still down to earth despite you seeing his Mum and Dad on TV more often. As you were about to climb the stairs again, George spotted you and asked if you had seen Matty.
“Yeah, he’s up here with me” You smile, nodding up the stairs and George started following you.
You led him up and past the bedrooms, to the bathroom and you heard George say, “Oh shit yeah, I forgot people hung about in here”
“So did I until I found him in here” You chuckled, before kicking the door open gently.
But then immediately started laughing at what you found inside. George looked inside as well and you both couldn’t contain your laughter.
Inside you found Matty half in the bath and half lying on the ground next to it. He had somehow managed to contort his body, so his legs were still in the bath and head was lying on the ground next to it.
He now somehow had a bottle of beer in his hands that he was keeping upright and he had those stupid sunglasses on again. The shower curtain was drawn half way closed again and you honestly had no idea how he had managed to get himself into that position.
“What the fuck” You practically squeaked in your laughter and had to rest your back against the opposing wall. George was hanging onto the doorframe for support and you both couldn’t stop laughing.
The noise of your laughter tuned Matty back into the world and he looked at the both of you. “Hey guys” He said with a goofy smile on his face.
This made you laugh even more, and you were now sat on the ground laughing dangerously as no noise was now coming out of your mouth. The only noise coming from you was gasps of air as you were in desperate need for more oxygen.
It was too fucking funny to witness, and you honestly didn’t know how you and George were able to calm down.
When you eventually did and were able to stand up again, you got up and put the bottles from one of your hands under your other arm. You pulled your phone out of your pocket to take a picture of your hilarious view.
That moment couldn’t ever be lost, and you never ever wanted it to be.
“Send me that” George pleaded, and you promised him you would do.
You walked towards Matty and put the bottles you were awkwardly carrying in the sink so you could try and get him up. You looked back towards George and he was looking down at his best friend and sighed.
“You alright mate?” He asked and Matty nodded extending his arm to give him a thumbs up.
To George, however, it looked like a thumbs down which made him laugh again and subsequently you.
“Slap his arse” George whispered to you and you did as it was in the air practically right in front of you.
You did it hard to hopefully wake him up a bit and George laughed when Matty practically jumped out of his skin.
“Y/N, you kinky bitch” Matty said after your laughter died down. He makes you giggle when he follows up with, “I like it”
He looked as drunk as you felt.
You sighed to yourself when George said, “I’ll leave you to sort that out Y/N” and shut the door behind him.
You looked at Matty below you and said, “Come on, let’s get you back up”
After an ordeal of trying to get him back into the bath you finally did after 5 minutes. You filled up an empty beer bottle with water and made him drink it before you both drank anymore.
You at least wanted him to be awake and conscious whilst you talked to him and when you both eventually joined the rest of them downstairs. The whole ordeal had caused you to sober up slightly which you didn’t mind.
After about 10 minutes of nursing Matty to consciousness, you were back chatting like you were half an hour ago.
Turns out all he really needed was a normal cigarette to wake him back up again. You had just taken those stupid sunglasses off him and hung them on your blouse so he couldn’t put them back on.
Matty shut the curtain again once he had grabbed the drinks that you brought up for you both. He cracked the 4 of them open with his teeth and you shook your head at him.
You scorn, “You shouldn’t do that”
“Oh, sorry Mum” He joked and handed you 2 bottles.
You shook your head at his awful joke.
“Fuck off” You scoffed before taking a sip of cider, “If your Mum knew what you got up to at these parties, she wouldn’t have ever let you come”
“I was great, I don’t know what you’re on about” Matty told you with an offended look on his face.
“Oh yeah and you shagging Kayleigh Smith in Tim’s bedroom was something your Mum would’ve been proud of?” You ask, amusement clear on your features.
“Ah god, I remember that” Matty said with wide eyes but you could tell he was laughing at the memory.
“Everyone went crazy about it, didn’t they?” Matty asked and you nodded, taking a drink.
“They did” You confirmed and Matty laughed running a hand through his curls.
“Yeah because it wasn’t even me that told everyone about it. It was Hann” Matty went on. “I never even found out how he knew”
You tried your hardest to not smile or laugh at his statement, but you failed.
Matty saw that you were holding in laughter and asked, “What?”
You let out a little laugh and admit, “Yeah, that might be my fault”
Matty looked at you with a completely shocked expression. His jaw was practically on the ground for a few seconds before he asked, “What the fuck do you mean it was your fault?”
You giggle as you explain, “I sorta told Adam and Ross about it”
“Are you joking? You cheeky bitch” He said before playfully kicking you. The cheeky smile never leaving his face.
You let out a whine at his actions and kicked him back, laughing as you did so. “Ow, you twat” He said laughing to himself before you both broke out into a full foot fight.
You were both fully kicking out at each other and you were both squealing as your feet collided. You couldn’t stop yourself from laughing at the situation you were in. Matty was also cackling at your antics and you had again forgot how cute his laugh was.
“You’re not gunna win Matty, I’m wearing heels” You say as you continue to kick out at each other.
Matty laughs again and just continues to kick you. You only stop when you were about to kick his dick but he caught your boot before it managed to do the damage.
“Hell no Y/N/N” He said before shoving your boot to the side.
You laughed before leaning back against the back of the bath again and putting your knees back up. It was odd how it was comfier it was to put your feet up with your heels on, rather than stretching them out like you had been doing.
You sat back chuckling and took another sip of your drink before you asked the curly haired boy, “Do you hate me now?”
“Why would I hate you?” Matty asked, before downing the rest of his drink and moving on to the next.
“For telling Adam and Ross about Kayleigh and you?” You asked with a small smile.
You still found the situation funny and thankfully the memory didn’t scar you for life.
“I don’t hate you” Matty promises sincerely before dropping his empty bottle over the side of the bath.
“But,” He added, leaning forwards towards you, “How’d you even find out?”
You closed your eyes and smiled at the embarrassment of what you were about to tell him.
“I may have accidentally walked in on you” You told him reluctantly, before drinking the rest of your first drink.
“Did you actually?” Matty asked completely shocked and you nodded.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t lie about that” You told him taking a sip of your new drink.
“I was looking for Y/B/F and you had left the door open and I accidentally walked in and obviously immediately left when I saw what was happening” You rambled, remembering how uncomfortable you felt when you walked in.
Matty let out a loud laugh and started clapping his hands. You started laughing as well especially when he said “I can’t believe the first thing you did was sell me out to Hann”
“Well what was I supposed to do? Just sit and rock in a corner because I saw you having a quick shag?” You chuckled. “I was mortified. What did you expect me to do?”
“Aw Y/N, you didn’t need to cry because of it. I know you fancied me but there was no need to get upset. I was snogging you two hours later” Matty told you.
You snorted at that comment because of how truthful it actually was.
You laugh, “Spoken like a true fuckboy”
“I’d have fucked you too if you asked nicely” Matty smirked.
“Gee thanks” You chuckle after drinking most of your drink.
“Were you jealous Y/N/N?” Matty asked you and something about the way he said it made the mood of the conversation slightly more serious.
Too bad your drunken haziness didn’t recognise it.
“Oh yeah, big time” You confirm, sarcasm thick in your voice.
“I’m being serious” He said but you could hear the humour in his voice.
You quickly started to see that you were going to get bullied if you told the truth, so you started sinking slowly down the empty bathtub.
“Matty, I was mortified that I’d walked in on you and made Adam promise not to say anything. There’s nothing more to it” You explain before putting your now empty bottle on the side of the bath.
“But you started liking me after that right? So you must have been jealous at some point” Matty pressed on and you just rolled your eyes at him.
“Fuck off Matty” You told him and then he started chuckling.
“What’s so funny now?” You asked, looking over your knees at him.
You face dropped when he commented, “You’re denying what was so obviously true. I can see it on your face”
You reached to your blouse and picked up his sunglasses. You put them on to hide yourself some more as you said, “Matthew fuck off. I was fifteen years old… Yeah, I did fancy you, big deal. Don’t worry, I don’t anymore”
Matty let out and laugh and said with confidence, “Please, you still fancy me now”
“Believe me, I don’t” You said just as confidently.
“Well, you think I’m good looking then” Matty continued and you sighed.
You sank further down the bath and hid behind your knees to avoid him. You didn’t like it when you got embarrassed.
You hated admitting your feelings to people. You liked to keep them guessing.
“Come on Y/N we can go in Tim’s room now, I’m sure he won’t mind” Matty teased and you felt stupid.
“Fuck off” You laugh.
Your back was now flat on the floor of the tub and your head was only being propped up by the back of the bath. You wished the ground would open up and swallow you whole.
You heard Matty move slightly and start chuckling to himself. You just hoped he would change the subject and you could both move on and the banter between you could resume. You didn’t like feeling embarrassed.
You felt Matty’s hand on your right knee and you looked up at him through the sunglasses. He had a smile on his face and it only got bigger as he parted your legs and started crawling up between them.
You held your breath as he did so, especially when you could feel him leaving lingering touches across your body. Was he trying to drive you insane? You just kept quiet and stayed deadly still, wondering what he was up to next.
Watching Matty as he slowly crawled up your body, make your heart beat faster. Before you knew it, his face was hovering over yours.
“Were you jealous of her Y/N/N?” He asked in a deep voice.
When you didn’t reply to him, you saw Matty’s eyes wonder around your features wondering what to do with himself next.
You desperately tried to keep your breathing under control but that often proved difficult when there was a good-looking guy between your legs.
“Did you wanna be under me like this instead of her Y/N?” He purred, his lips brushing your ear before he lent down and started kissing your neck.
As he did so, your fingers laced into his curly hair and you moved your head to the side, so he had more access to your neck.
Your eyes fluttered closed in pure bliss at the situation you found yourself in and your breath caught in your throat. You could feel your heart beating a thousand miles per hour and you couldn’t believe what he was doing. And how amazing it felt.
You were biting your lip to stop yourself from giving anything away, even though your actions were already giving Matty all the information he needed. He moved his kisses from your collar bone up to under your ear and his hands were roaming your body.
All you could focus on was his lips attacking your neck and you could hear was your ragged breath as his actions continued. The music from downstairs was being drowned out by the rapid beat of your heart that was now all you could focus on. Apart from Matty’s actions.
You pulled on strands of Matty’s hair that you had between your fingers as you felt him focus his attention on one spot in particular. You were surprised when you heard him moan against your skin.
Your breathing got heavier as his hands ran down the sides of your legs which were around him and continued to leave teasing touches over body. His fingers then began to roam underneath your blouse and at the waistband of your jeans.
It just confirmed to you that he did indeed know what he was doing, and how to drive you insane. You felt like your skin was on fire and there was no way it could be put out.
As his lips moved to the other side of your neck, you again pulled on his hair wanting more. This time you were greeted with a growl that drove you absolutely crazy.
The noise was one of the sexiest things you had ever heard, and you wanted to hear it again. You were about to tease him again until you felt he started teasing you back by grinding himself against you.
The whimper you realised was something Matty heard and it equally drove him just as insane as the action itself did to you. He wanted to hear it again.
It was no question if he found you attractive or not. He’d been trying his best not to look at your tits that were practically on show for him as that purple top did nothing to hide your gorgeous body.
He cursed the bar that covered you up. Matty wanted you and there was no denying it.
And the way you were pulling on his hair made him think that you wanted him just as much.
You were about to tease him more until he thrusted his body into yours. More friction for both of you there was driving the both of you insane.
“Fuck” You practically moaned involuntarily at his actions and the everything got a bit more heated.
The friction of the lower halves of your body just increased when Matty brought his head back up too so he could see you flustered below him. But the shades blocking your gorgeous Y/E/C eyes were in the way, so he reached up and took your sunglasses off, throwing them over his shoulder.
Matty thought you looked heavenly beneath him and he was definitely not letting you out of his sight for a while.
You heard the glasses clatter against the other end of the bath, but you were too focused on the boy hovering over you. Matty’s brown eyes looked darker than normal to you and his curly hair hung over his head and almost tickled your face.
You could see that his eyes were just as hungry as yours probably were and that this was the point you knew there was no turning back from. For a brief second you both just looked at each other until you pulled on the back of his neck and brought his lips down to yours.
The pace didn’t slow down when you kissed him, if anything it got faster. You wished you weren’t in a tiny bathtub that was uncomfortable.
You wished you were on the bed in the other room like he suggested earlier, and you hated yourself for not agreeing.
Matty tasted like alcohol and the cigarette that he smoked. You could taste your cider on his tongue, and he was addicting. Neither of you could get enough.
You pulled hard on his hair and he groaned like he had done all those years ago. You smirked into the kiss, loving that he was liking what was happening.
After a few minutes of Matty making you completely breathless from his kisses, the way he kept grinding into you, and you probably scaring his back with your fingernails, you changed your positions.
You wanted more room.
You needed more room.
“Get up” You practically moaned when he started attacking your neck again, definitely leaving more marks.
Matty got to his knees and you sat up with him. You made him sit where you had been previously sat and he sarcastically lent back against the tub as he watched you crawl over him.
You straddled his hips and you could feel his excitement though the both of your jeans. You pulled his lips back to yours and you both quickly became invested in each other again.
After more making out you found that at certain actions that you did Matty was involuntarily buck his hips up into yours. Especially when you increased the friction this time and ground yourself down against him. You were a tease and you wouldn’t even deny it.
Each time he did bucked up, it made you gasp for another breath that he just took away because his tongue was inside your mouth. You couldn’t believe you were dry humping Matty Healy in a bathtub at the age of 21.
What the fuck were the both of you?
Matty didn’t seem to be complaining though because he kept on doing it and you certainly weren’t going to. At this point you would only prefer the real thing.
But you could tell that your current situation wasn’t going to be changing because neither of you were going to shag in a bath. So enjoying the friction of your lower halves grinding together was as far as you could go here.
When you weren’t kissing, Matty’s lips were either on your neck or your chest.
You don’t even know when he’d unbuttoned your blouse, but you didn’t even mind when the curly haired brunette was attacking your chest with his lips. If anything, you were surprised he hadn’t taken your bra off yet.
“Fuck” You say a little breathlessly as he left a trail of kisses all over your chest.
After a few more seconds of letting him bruise your chest, you brought his lips back up to yours. Your stomach felt like it was in knots and your heart was beating extremely fast.
You couldn’t quite believe you what you were doing.
You’d came out this evening thinking it would just be a quiet, fun night like old times. You never in a million years thought that you would be in this situation.
After a few more minutes you both started making sloppy moves and just opted to stick kissing each other. You didn’t tease him anymore despite wanting to and Matty calmed down a bit.
You don’t really know why but you’d both started talking to each other again in between kisses.
You assumed it was to distract yourselves because you knew that you couldn’t carry on what you were doing. Someone was bound to walk in sooner or later and demand your presence elsewhere.
“You do this often Matty?” You asked him with humour evident in your voice.
His lips took yours again for a few more seconds until he rested his forehead against yours and breathed, “The kissing… Yeah”
He pecked you again ,“The dry humping… No”
The both of you started laughing at that before your lips collided again. Matty’s tongue went back into your mouth and you couldn’t help the little moan that fell from your lips.
“What about you? You seem to be a pro at it” Matty asked when you parted.
However, you bit your lip and raised your eyebrows at him.
“What? You are” Matty praised and you giggled before kissing him again.
When you pulled away, you felt dizzy and you just spoke without thinking. You moved your hair out of your face and said trying to get your breath back, “I usually just have sex if I’m honest, this is a first”
Matty whined and you were slightly confused as to ask why. Before you could ask, his lips attached to yours again.
You were now certain you’d never get enough of Matty’s kisses, or the feel of his soft hair between your fingers. You’d definitely never tire of the way he moaned against your lips when you gave it a little tug.
When Matty pulled away, you were breathless again and you looked down at the curly hair boy in front of you as he whined, also breathlessly, “You could have said that earlier Y/N”
You started giggling at that and looked down at him. Matty also started laughing and he tilted his head forward until it hit your chest again.
Matty Healy, the boy that you had a crush on for the last few years in high school, was laughing into your tits.
What was going on?
You sort of just looked down at the mess of curls that was in your chest. You started giggling at this, which probably didn’t help Matty’s laughter die out.
If anything, it just fuelled it.
“Fucking hell” You giggled, pulling on his hair so he would move away from them. He looked up at you and you just again just burst out laughing.
The alcohol was obviously getting to both of your heads again and you only stopped laughing when you heard the bathroom door open again.
You both shut up immediately and Matty started fumbling with the buttons on your blouse. It wasn’t really working for him and you had to help him button yourself back up again and you were both silently laughing again.
Before the curtain was drawn back, Matty’s fingers ran through your hair from the very up, as if to flatten it down. It must have been a state because you don’t think anyone had ever had to flatten your hair after making out with them.
You also helped him do that again just in time before your best friend drew back the curtain. You were still on Matty’s lap and your arms were again around his neck.
You knew you couldn’t move because she would have seen Matty’s boner and tease the fuck out of you for it. Matty probably wouldn’t be to impressed either, which is why his hands were firmly on your hips, keeping you in place.
“Hey” Both you and Matty smile looking up at her as innocently as you both could.
It was quite obvious what you had been up to as both of your lips were swollen, and marks probably littered your neck.
She looked down at the both of you with a massive grin on her face “What are you two up to?”
You had a great poker face and could lie your way through anything so you just said “Nothing” You could come up with a lie later if she actually pressed on.
But she looked plastered, so you didn’t think that you’d have to.
However, Matty said, “I decked it before, so I wanted a hug and she’s only just giving it to me”
“Yeah, he keeps making me laugh though” You try covering your laugh at his excuse.
You had never heard a worse excuse other than he wanted the hug.
“Well you know, Matty” You best friend said, and you nodded at her.
You murmured under your breath, “I really do”
Matty heard this and snorted really loudly to try and disguise his laugh. You couldn’t help but start laughing again. Luckily your best friend was headed back to the door and didn’t ask what you were laughing at.
Matty was laughing into your shoulder and you were just laughing in general at this point. Drunk messes, the both of you.
“Hey, are you two coming downstairs now? We’re all gunna play spin the bottle again like old times” Your best friend asked.
“Yeah, I’ll come down in a minute” You told her as you tried to stop laughing.
She says a little ‘yay’ and you chuckled. Matty lifted his head up from your shoulder, “Yeah I’ll come down as well in a few”
“You never know you two…” She said pointing between both of you. “It could happen againnnn” She cooed and you and Matty had to hold back your laughs.
You swallowed your laughter away and said, “It could” You looked at Matty and told him “That would be something, wouldn’t it?”
Matty also had a good poker face this time when he replied, “It really would”
You could see the humour in his eyes and he could definitely see it in yours. He definitely still wanted you, you could see it.
“I’ll see you guys down there” She bits farewell, before the door slammed shut again.
You turned back towards Matty then and shook your head at him in disappointment, “A hug, really?”
“I panicked alright” Matty admits half laughing.
You giggled and asked Matty with raised eyebrows, “You gunna be okay?”
“Yeah” He confirms, amusement clear in his voice.
You put your hands on his shoulder and pushed yourself up off of him. Amazingly, you climbed out of the bath steadily despite Matty slapping your arse as you did so.
Giggling, you turn back towards him once both of your feet were firmly back on the ground. You looked back to Matty’s eyes and bit your lip.
“You gunna sort yourself out before you come down?” You smirked as your eyes flickered down to the prominant bulge in his jeans.
Matty looked up at you and teasingly asked, “You could just sort it out for me?”
He raised his eyebrows at you both hopefully and teasingly, but you shook your head at him with a grin on your lips. You lent over the bath and brought your lips down to his again.
It was a sweet kiss, not hot like it was before. It was different and you just hoped that it would leave him wanting more.
You managed to trap his bottom lip between your teeth and you pulled at it as you pulled away. You smiled down, quite proud of yourself as you could tell from the look on his face that he definitely wanted more.
When his brown eyes opened, he gave you a knowing look and it caused your smirk to grow.
You turned around and winked at him before you made your way out, “Lock the door Matty, someone innocent could walk in”
