hello, I'm curious about some things about Matthias and Theo
Who asked first to date?
How did their relationship look before it started to be serious?
Oh, Matthias was after Theo from the start. Theo’s pretty much Matthias’s exact type (which I’ve talked about here) and from the moment he first saw Theo he’d already made up his mind to go after him. He was, however, obstructed by the fact that Theo did not like him. Theo was instantly wary and on edge around him. Prey vs. predator. You get the themes and motifs, you understand what I mean. Obviously this changes over time, but when it does… Matthias doesn’t exactly ask Theo out. They behave exactly how a couple behaves: staying over at each other’s places, sleeping together, relying on one another… but Matthias still doesn’t ask Theo to date him because he already considers Theo to be his in that way. I don’t think he ever actually asks. And Theo… well. Theo doesn’t really think about it. But Matthias approached Theo first and he’s the one who made all the first moves. So… I would say him.
As for their relationship before they became serious… hm. Their relationship was always kind of serious from their very first interaction. With two characters like Theo and Matthias… there’s no way they could’ve been anything but that. But I do get what you’re really asking…
Since Theo is exactly his type, Matthias was drawn to him immediately, watching him across the room and leisurely enjoying the view. Matthias approached Theo at first the same way he approached all the men he wanted to sleep with—which is to say that he was charming and seductive. He did just want to fuck Theo at first, to be frank. But I will say that Matthias was kind of already ready to degrade himself for Theo from the moment they started talking. Theo is… very enticing. I mean, you’ve seen Theo. He’s gorgeous and he’s got an air about him that has you wanting more… He’s certainly captivating in his beauty but that quality of his that seems almost untouchable and uncaring is what really made Matthias crazy. Plus, Theo was rude. Matthias wanted him so bad he would’ve knelt then and there for him.
Theo, on the other hand, didn’t want anything to do with Matthias. This isn’t to say that Theo had no interest in Matthias. Theo was… very attracted to him. The first word out of Matthias’s mouth made him shiver. Theo is a sensory kind of person, and the sound of Matthias’s voice paired with the distinct scent of his cologne… Theo was turned on pretty much the second Matthias got close to him. But Theo also has a lot of problems with a very certain type of man that Matthias fits the bill for: authority figures. Matthias gives a very strong impression. His bearing, his stature, his arrogance, his wealth, his voice… they all paint a very clear picture of who Matthias is and what he could be capable of. Or, they did in Theo’s mind, anyway. Theo makes a lot of snap judgments to protect himself and he’s very stubborn. He does not budge. And Matthias had the unfortunate obstacle of Theo’s acidic, distrustful personality to soften first before he could even try talking to him successfully. Now, I’m not saying Theo was exactly wrong here… Matthias is not a good person. Amoral degeneracy and hedonism… this is Matthias to me. So, yeah… Theo was very smart to avoid Matthias. But Theo was also misreading things almost intentionally because he was attracted to Matthias in a way he wasn’t used to. And he was also reacting to a trigger response. Prey animal fear. So.
When they met again, it was a little different. Matthias was interested in Theo for a much different reason. After Theo had so bluntly told Matthias off and showed how clearly he saw him, Matthias was intrigued. And Theo was… in a bit of a way. Plus, he didn’t remember meeting Matthias before. So the conversation was different. Theo’s guard was down. They talked, but nothing more. Matthias offered to dance with Theo, though, which Theo declined.
They have more incidental meetings from there and Theo slowly drops his hackles. Not all the way, mind you, but enough that when Matthias slips Theo’s hair behind his ear and leans down to whisper to him, Theo allows himself to be guided someplace more intimate. Theo’s never had sex the way he’s had sex with Matthias. It scares him off. Matthias has to coax him back to him, which is no easy task… Theo can be very harsh when he’s scared. But Matthias likes being hurt and humiliated, doesn’t he? So. Not a problem for him. And the reward would be so sweet… so he takes his time. He warms Theo up. Theo’s aware of what Matthias is doing, but it’s not like Theo doesn’t want to have him again… his attraction to Matthias is even worse now that he knows what he’s like in bed. So he’s lured in so gently… and then they have sex again. And it keeps happening. But Theo doesn’t want anything else from Matthias. And all Matthias wants is Theo’s time. Matthias is infatuated and desperate and, yeah, a little pathetic. Theo is still detached and waspish but melts so, so easily when Matthias touches him just right.
