Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion

Devotional for June 17th

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then. - Matthew 19:30

Insight

Jesus turned the world's values upside down. Consider the most powerful or well-known people in our world. How many got where they are by being humble, self-effacing, and gentle? Not many! But in the life to come, the last will be first—if they got in last place by choosing to follow Jesus.

Challenge

Don't forfeit eternal rewards for temporary benefits. Be willing to make sacrifices now for greater rewards later. Be willing to accept human disapproval, while knowing that you have God's approval.

I Am In Anguish In This Flame (219) - November 11 2023

Play on other Podcast Apps The first of two programs looking at Luke 16:19-31, regarding the rich man and the destitute Lazarus. On earth Lazarus was at the gate of the rich man, begging for anything that may drop from the man’s table. After both died (in the physical sense), the rich man and Lazarus switched positions. The man was taken to Hades (the place of the dead) by angels, while Lazarus…

Again, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God

Daily Gospel Reading – Matthew 19:23-30 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly, I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be…

[dominicfikue]

𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘 . . . featuring matthew sturniolo.

𓏲๋ 𓂃 — PAIRING. good girl!reader x guitarist!matt.

beware of. SMUT. mentions of unprotected sex. teensy age gap ( 19 & 21 ). reader lives w her parents. use of pet names.

୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ .⁺ headline. different scenarios to show the flirty dynamic between two ‘innocent’ neighbors.

— GUITARIST!MATT WHO: makes it a habit to say good morning to you— an absolute angel, every single day. toothpick hanging from his pink lips as he leans against the white picket fence. you can’t do anything but meekly return the greeting, your big doe eyes focused on the grass beneath you as he showers you in complements.

“good morning, sunshine. jesus, you look… gorgeous. where ya headed?”

— GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: bakes goodies for the musician next door. it’s okay fair to return the favor since he’s such a sweetheart to you. you wake up at the crack of dawn, pulling up the “strawberry blondie bars” recipe you found on social media.

you try your hardest to be quiet, not wanting to wake your parents upstairs. once the treats are ready, you package them in a pink container before taping a note on top. during one of many morning conversations between you two, you hand the brunette the blondies, a grin plastered on your lip gloss-covered lips.

“oh i almost forgot! made these for ya since you’re always so nice to me. i hope you like them!”

— GUITARIST!MATT WHO: answers your phone calls on the first ring, no matter how late it is. you dial him, small sniffles coming from your side of the phone. your parents had begged you to go on a date with this boy from church, convinced that you needed a good influence in your life since matt was ‘corrupting you’. wrong they were.

once he found out you didn’t wanna sleep with him, he called you a prude and sped off in his truck. now here you were, stranded at a restaurant at 12:30 AM. as soon as matt heard your shaky voice & your situation, he put his guitar down and practically ran out to his car to come pick you up. he’s fuming, praying he runs into the guy one of these days to teach him a lesson.

“j-just stay still for me, okay sweetheart? i’ll be there soon, ten minutes tops.”

— GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: pleads and pleads with matt to let you come over and watch him practice. of course you’ve heard him from your room, the bass from his electric guitar coursing through your walls from time to time but you wanted to see it up close and personal.

after multiple “no’s” & “it’s too much for your pretty lil’ ears”, he finally gives in, leading you inside his home with his hand resting dangerously low on your back. when you reach the basement, you see all of his equipment— his amp, a mic, etc. not to mention, the star of the show, the guitar.

he nods for you to take a seat on the grey L-shaped couch as he takes a seat in a foldable chair in front of you. once he knows he has all of your attention, he begins playing a very familiar song— godspeed by frank ocean. with his fingers moving smoothly against the strings and his lip tucked between his teeth as he concentrates, you can’t help but clench your thighs at the sight.

— GUITARIST!MATT & GOOD GIRL!READER WHO: both have journals about the other. they both consisted of lewd & dirty thoughts, yours definitely more… explicit than matt’s. you’re writing in said journal when you see a figure pop through your window, a smug smile playing on his lips. matt’s presence seemed to distract you, your journal wide open in your lap.

as he gets climbs in your room and gets closer, he notices the book causing him to snatch it up and look through it, not expecting to read anything like that from you. you lean up and try to grab it back frantically, embarrassment lingering all around you but matt kept you in place with his other hand as he continued reading. you’re already getting your apology ready but before you can say anything, matt beats you to it.

“this true, sunny? you wanna ‘feel my soft lips against your skin while you’…. woah. you got a hell of a mouth on you, don’t ya?” his eyes wide as they still remain on the paper.

“doing so good, baby. riding me all by yourself just like you said you would … can’t believe it.” he drags out, his words muffled as he leaves marks down your neck. you having to hide the hickies didnt seem to cross your mind, the state of euphoria you were in clouding your thoughts. you felt on top of the world and all of matt’s praise was only fueling the feeling.

you don’t even notice that he paused your movements to pursue his own, breathy groans coming from the boy underneath you. matt’s hands wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him as he basically drills into you. with one last thrust, you release all over him, a loud and catty whine leaving your throat. matt finishes not too long after you, filling you up nice & full.

in all honesty, it was bound to happen sooner or later. i mean, he was only a door away.

solai speaks. headcannon layout inspo from the one & only @musegyra! i enjoyed writing this so much like you have no idea. i’ve been in my music matt bag lately 😭. speaking of, part one to get him back will be out this week! enjoy <3.

part three you guys have been begging for, prepare yourselves now. Just warning you this one is a sad one, love yall

xoxo, Autumn

"This one?" I asked holding up the third option of the night. "No" She stated staring at me. I dropped the dress in my hands and glared at her. "You're not taking this seriously" I said turning back to my closet. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Oh, I'm taking this very seriously" She nodded. I glared back at her.

The truth was is that i've been avoiding Matt all week. I respond to his texts, miss his calls. I'll say I miss him, but I won't come over. It's been a back in forth battle between my mind whether or not I wanted to do this or not. All day I'll pace around, saying that I was done. Then the night came and I would text him. He was starting to get irretated and I knew it.

Tonight was his birthday. I was texting him last night when it turned midnight.

last night:

to Matt Stromboli       12:01am

I guess you're a year older now

From: Matt Stromboli     12:01am

Is that suppose to be your way of telling me happy birthday?

to Matt Stromboli   12:02am

Something like that

From: Matt Stromboli   12:02am

How sweet of you. Oops, just got another text from my side hoe, she sent me a paragraph

I knew it was a joke, but it hit me like a punch in the face. I couldn't show it, and that's when my brain tells me i'm trying to pull back for a reason.

to Matt Stromboli   12:04

Wouldn't want to keep her waiting now do we?

From: Matt Stromboli 12:02am

Oh of course not, brb

From: Matt Stromboli 12:03am

Thank you so much for the deep message y/n/n, I can't stop thinking about you either. You are so hot and I can't wait to spend the entire night with you while you tell me just HOW happy you are that it is my birthday. 20 has never felt so good. Guess I'm considered a pedo since you're still 19, but still can't keep you off my mind ;)

to Matt Stromboli 12:04

Was that you referencing me as your side hoe and dissing my age all in one message?

From: Matt Stromboli 12:05am

Side hoe, main hoe, whatever hoe. You fit the description for all of them.

From: Matt Stromboli 12:05

....or you guys just happen to have the same name

to Matt Stromboli 12:06

So you're messing with TWO 19-year-olds. brb calling the police

From: Matt Stromboli 12:06

Lol so funny. (pls don't)

I laughed out loud.

to Matt Stromboli 12:07

I just talked to them. They said you're sentenced to no birthday sex from either of the 19-year-olds.

From: Matt Stromboli 12:07

NO PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING. THERE IS ONLY ONE 19-YEAR-OLD I SWEAR

to Matt Stromboli 12:08

wow never have seen you beg before. Kinda like it

From: Matt Stromboli 12:09

Don't get used to it. You've been depriving me for a week now, i'm starting to lose vision in my left eye.

to Matt Stromboli 12:08

Goodnight birthday boy

From: Matt Stromboli 12:10

God that message just made me hard

to Matt Stromboli 12:08

Oh god, doctor, he's flat-lining

From: Matt Stromboli 12:10

my doctor is a gross old man, you ruined it.

to Matt Stromboli 12:11

Sorry

From: Matt Stromboli 12:12

Can I call you?

I sighed looking at the ceiling. As much as I wanted to keep this going of pulling back. It was midnight and I was talking to the man I was in love with and he hasn't touched me in a week.

From: Matt Stromboli 12:13

Please. I just need to hear your voice. You could literally talk about anything for about 30 seconds and I'll be done for.

I smiled.

to Matt Stromboli 12:11

Am I dreaming or is Matthew Bernard Sturniolo being submissive?

From: Matt Stromboli 12:13

I can't finish without you, please. It's my birthday

I rolled my eyes before I clicked to call him. It didn't ring one time before he answered. "Matthewwww" I sang. I already heard him whine over the phone and small breaths over the phone. My eyes went wide.

"Wow okay. Already going at it I see?" I chuckled. "Shut up" He grunted over the phone. I sat up on my bed, smiling to myself. "Hey who's the one in control right now? I could start talking about your doctor again and turn you off so fast" I stated. He groaned. "Stop talking about my doctor" I heard him chuckle over the phone.

"Then stop telling me to shut up" I said bluntly. He let out a breath. "Okay, I'm sorry" He said quickly. I smiled, I loved this. "What do you want me to talk about?" I asked, he took a few second before responding.

"Anything-Anything just keep talking" He stuttered. I smiled, rolling over. "Okay" I sighed thinking. I could fuck with him. "Today I did laundry." I stated. I heard him chuckle softly. "Yeah?" He breathed. I hummed. "Yeah and then I fingered myself while wearing that shirt you gave me" I said out of the blue. I heard him moan almost immediately, making me chuckle.

"A-Are you serious?" He asked breathlessly. I chuckled to myself. "No, I just have no idea how to do this" I laughed. I heard him chucking a bit, before breathing in. "Dude" He said. "Plus I'm on my period" I lied. "No you're not" He grunted. I furrowed my eyebrows. "I have your period on a tracker" He breathed. I rolled my eyes, of course he did.

"Tell me what you're wearing" He breathed. I looked down at my big t-shirt and sweatpants. "Uhm" I hummed. "Nothing" I lied. I heard short and shallow breaths. "Just laying here, like naked you know?" I sighed looking up.

"I know you're lying" He moaned. I giggled. "Tell me about you're day" He grunted. "Just keep talking" His voice broke at the last word. I sighed into the phone. "Okay, well. I cleaned my room I was actually being really productive. Then I started scrolling through instagram then-Oh! You know that clothing account that has the like spider-web design like thing on it?" I asked through the phone.

"Uh humm" He hummed through the phone. "Well I bought like a sweatshirt off of it, and I'm actually really excited for it to come in, you know?" I smiled. "Yeah baby" He sighed into the phone.  I smiled. "Lucy said it was a stupid buy, but I think that it would look really cool with those cargo pants I got, but I have no idea what shoes to wear with them. Trying out a new like cool look." I said smiling. He breathed in sharply.

"Fuck" He cursed, his breathing getting heavier. "Are you clooossee?" I asked. "Hm huh" He breathed. I sighed into the phone. "I wish I was there" I stated leaning on my hand as i started to play with my hair. "Me too" He said quickly. "Hmm, you wish it was my hand don't you?" I teased. "Fuck, yes" He moaned. I smiled.

"Just pretend that is. That I'm hovering over you, kissing your neck. Telling you to let go all over my fingers like a good birthday boy-" I almost laughed at my dirty talk, but he liked it.

"Y/n-Fuck-I-" I heard him say loudly and then moaned loudly, before he let out a deep breath. "Are you-Did you-" I asked. "Yes" He chuckled. I smiled. "Good" I stated. He sighed into the phone. "Hold on a second" He said and I heard rustling on the other end, and I waited.

"You're coming tomorrow right?" He asked. I sighed into the phone. "Yeah" I breathed. "Good" He said softly, settling back down.

"Nate and Justin come in tomorrow and they are staying with us" He explained. I nodded. "That'll be fun" I said over the phone. He sighed. "The only reason I'm saying that is because you can't spend the night tomorrow" He said, making my face drop and my heart hurt.

"Oh" I said, swallowing. "I just don't want to make it a thing you know? I mean like it's not a big deal with Chris and Nick because they like know, but I don't feel like explaining it to Nate and Justin" He said, making me breath out.

"Right" I said. I felt like an idiot. An absolute idiot. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. Feeling the pit in mu stomach form from the punch in the gut. You're not like my girlfriend, so you shouldn't spend the night when people I care about are staying with me.

"But, I am still excited for you to see them and meet them and stuff" He said. I bit my lip. "Yeah, yeah of course" I breathed. "And I'm excited to see you. Since you've been ghosting me the past week" He chuckled.  I swallowed. "Yeah, sorry i've just been.....busy" I said feeling tears start to fill in my eyes.

"Yeah I know, no hard feelings. I just miss seeing my homie" He said happily. His homie. Fucking Ouch. "Yeah yeah. I just-" I took a breath. "I'll just see you at the party then" I said shaking my head. "Okay cool" He said before we said our goodbyes. I swallowed clicking off the phone.

present:

I swallowed shifting through my clothes remembering last night. "Just pick something already" She sighed. I picked out a black dress and showed it to her. Her eyes went wide. "What? It's my favorite dress" I argued. "No" She said standing. "It's Matt's favorite dress" She said raising her eyebrows. I sighed looking at it, it did make me look really good.

"Give me the shirt back or i'm wearing it" I said looking over at her. She sighed and looked at me. "No" She said. "Then, I'm wearing it" I smiled before walking into the bathroom.

-

We were on the uber ride there when I turned to Lucy. "I'm gonna talk to him eventually Lucy, I just-tonight's his birthday" I sighed. She looked over at me and nodded. "I'll hold my breath" She smiled making me shake my head. She pushed me slightly.

"Hey, it's your life you can do what you want. I just don't want to see you get hurt" She said quietly. I nodded. Lucy was a good friend. She really was, but I was already hurt. Constantly getting hurt. I looked down at the box in my hand, rubbing my thumb over it.

"Is that for Matt?" She asked looking down, I nodded. I opened it looking down at the ring. It was a ring that he's wanted for so long. So I thought I'd buy it for his birthday. Now looking down at it, I debated even giving it to him. I closed it before putting it back in my purse and turning to look out the window.

We pulled up to the house and their were cars lining the street. We thanked the driver and walked out and up to the house. I stood at the door for a second. Lucy stopped and looked at me. "You okay?" She asked. I looked at her before nodding, but not moving.

"You gonna go inside?" She asked pointing at the door. I licked my lips. "It feels-" I started to say. "Weird" I whispered. She sighed leaning over to me. "You look hot. If Matt can't see it then screw him. Okay? Birthday or not I'll beat his ass" She smiled making me smile.

I nodded before walking through the door. The loudness of the party came over me as we walked in. I glanced around before I saw all of them standing and talking in the kitchen. I swallowed and turned towards Lucy who was behind me.

"What are you doing?" She asked quickly. "I can't do it" I said shaking my head. She furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?" She asked leaning towards me. "I can't be here, not tonight, not on his birthday. I can't-" I started to shake my head.

"Y/n!"

I winced at the sound of my name being called. Lucy looked up behind me and then back down to me. "They are walking over here" She whispered in between her teeth. I opened my eyes and slowly turned around. I saw Chris, Nate, and Nick all walk up to me glancing behind them seeing Matt and Justin stay on the other side of the kitchen, while Matt glanced at me. I looked away from them.

"Hey" I smiled up at Nick, bringing him into a hug. "Happy birthday" I said as I pulled back from the hug. "Thank you" He smiled. I pulled Chris into a hug as well. "Happy birthday" I smiled, he let go. "Thanks Y/n/n" He smiled down at me. I looked over to Nate.

"Y/n and Lucy, this is Nate" Nick said motion to Nate. I pulled him into a hug as well, catching Matt's stare from the other side of the kitchen. I let Nate go, leaning back. "It's nice to meet you" Nate smiled at me. I nodded smiling. "It's nice to meet you too, these boys never shut up about you" I smiled, making him look over at Chris and Nick.

"I'm Lucy, I don't do hugs. Happy birthday boys" She motioned to Chris and Nick. They nodded.

"So Y/n, do you live in LA?" Nate asked. I nodded looking down. "I do, i've lived here my whole life" I said looking at him, he nodded. "I'm gonna have to come visit more often" He said smiling, making me raise my eyebrows. Chris and Nick looked at each other. Lucy looked over at me. I awkwardly laughed.

"Oh yeah well" I cleared my throat. "You look beautiful" He said looking at me. I opened my mouth to respond when Matt came over to us. He put his hands on Nate's shoulders staring down at him.

"Nate, getting a little too friendly with my guests hm?" He said smiling. Nate just looked at him. Lucy eyed me and I just looked at her. Matt looked over to me, releasing Nate. "Y/n" He stated. I nodded at him. Nick looked between us and cleared his throat.

"Justin, this is Y/n" Nick said motioning to Justin. I looked over smiling, shaking his hand. "Hi" I smiled he nodded. Matt stayed looking at me. "Y/n/n, let's go get a drink" Lucy said pulling my arm. I looked at her and then to Matt.

"Okay" I breathed as we walked away. I let out a deep breath. "That was weird" Lucy said. I nodded. "Really weird" She nodded. I turned back around looking at them, Matt's eyes were trained on me. I swallowed turning back around as Lucy handed me a drink.

-

The rest of the night I attempted to talk to as many people as I possibly could so that I wouldn't run into Matt. I didn't want to deal with my feelings, if I was being completely honest. I didn't want to face him.

I've been here and hour and haven't even spoken to him. Lucy turned to me and told me she was going to the bathroom. I nodded as she walked off. I wasn't standing there three seconds before I felt someone walk up to me.

"You're not gonna tell me happy birthday?"

I turned slowly, seeing Matt looking down at me. I blinked up at him before looking down. "I already did Matt, last night" I said barley looking at him, keeping my eyes busy scanning the room. He licked his lips, his eyes trained on my face.

"You've been avoiding me" he stated making me look up at him. He was looking down at me with an expression I couldn't read.

"No I haven't" I lied. "I know when you lie to me y/n" He stated quickly. I swallowed before bringing my drink up to my mouth. He took it out of my hands, putting it on the counter beside us.

I looked down at the cup and then back up at him.

"Happy Birthday Matt" I breathed before attempting to turn, but I felt my arm being grabbed as he dragged me away. I looked up at him as he dragged me away down the hall.

"Matt" I said trying to get my arm away but he pushed me into his room before closing the door.

"Matt! What the hell was-"

"Are you pregnant?" He asked looking down at me closing his eyes briefly. My mouth fell open. That was the last possible thing I expected to fall from him mouth.

"W-What?" I asked looking up at him in shock. He sighed looking down. "Fuck Y/n are you? because if you are-Oh my god-Fuck-" he rambled.

"Matt I'm not pregnant!" I yelled at him. He looked up at me pausing. "Then what is wrong?" He threw us hands up. I sighed looking down.

"Y/n/n" he breathed stepping towards me. If I was smart, I would step away from him. But I was the dumbest bitch alive. I looked up at him as his hands came around my waist.

"Talk to me." He breathed. I let out a shaky breath. I looked down at my purse. I looked back up at him, his eyes boring into mine. I gripped my purse.

"I got you something" I whispered. He just looked at me. "For your birthday" I said reaching down and opening my bag. He looked down, stepping back for a second. I pulled out the small box and handed it to him.

He looked down at it and then back at me. I smiled sadly at him. He looked back down opening the small box and pulling out the ring. He smiled rubbing his thumb over it. He looked up at me.

"You didn't have to do that y/n/n" he breathed. I nodded. "I know I just thought-" I swallowed. I looked up at him. "Do you like it?" I whispered.

He nodded. "I love it" He said looking at it. He walked over setting the box on his dresser and slipping the ring over his finger. I looked down at my feet.

"You look pretty" he said as he turned around. I just looked at him. "Yeah" I stated. He walked over to me slowly.

"It's the dress" he stated as he ran his finger over the strap. I swallowed. "It's the dress" I said back. The dress I was wearing the first time we hooked up. He put his hands on my face. I blinked up at him.

I love you so much. 

My mind screamed.

"I love the ring" he said rubbing his thumbs across my cheeks. I smiled. "I'm glad" I said quietly, almost inaudible.

I want this to be forever. I wanted this to be real. I want to be yours. I don't want to be hiding behind your bedroom door anymore.

I closed my eyes.

"I've thought about you all day long" he whispered. My eyes stayed closed. "Yeah?" I whispered back. "Yeah" he breathed before I felt him kiss me softly. I opened my eyes as he pulled away.

"Have you had a good birthday?" I asked. He smiled. "Yeah" he said leaning down and kissing my cheek so softly. I swallowed. He lifted his head and looked at me.

"Does the police sentence still stand?" He whispered as he trailed his hand down my arm. Sex. Right. I let out a shaky breath.

"I-I don't know" I stuttered. He pulled me against him, making me breath in. "I'm staying in here with you while my birthday party goes on out there" he stated as he brushed a piece of hair behind my ear.

"And I can't have you tonight" he dragged out smiling. I just watched him. "And I've missed you. I've missed this" he stated. I looked up at him.

"And you in that dress" he sighed looking down at me. I swallowed feeling my emotions starting to come up my throat.

"Matt?" I whispered. He looked up at me. "Can you kiss me?" I asked softly. He smiled and nodded before bringing our lips together in a slow kiss. I kissed him back, in my mind kissing my boyfriend. On his birthday. And after he was going to walk out there holding my hand announcing to the world that I was his girlfriend. That he was proud of me. Proud that I was his.

I sighed as I kissed him. He pushed me back by my hips and pushed me onto the bed, climbing on top me. I connected us back together in a hungrier kiss.

"You make me crazy" he mumbled against my lips. You have no idea how crazy you make me. I closed my eyes feeling the lump in my throat pushing it down. Praying it would go down.

He moved down kissing my neck hungrily, slightly pushing up my dress. I stared up at the ceiling feeling it in my chest. The reality of the situation setting in, hitting me like a ton of bricks. This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair.

I felt tears start to brim at my eyes. I couldn't focus on his mouth against my neck. I couldn't even feel the sensation of it anymore, all I was focused was the tears threatening to spill over.

"Matt" I said softly as the tears pooled. "Hmm" He breathed against me moving downward towards my chest, pushing the dress up higher. I swallowed and closed my eyes.

"Matt stop. Please stop" my voice broke. Immediately from hearing my voice he sat up lifting his hands off me completely. He looked down at me with a look of fear when he saw my face.

"What? What happened? Y/n what's wrong?" His voice full of concern as he looked in my eyes. I shook my head tears spilling from my eyes. I felt his hands come up to my face and I pushed them off of me. I rolled out from under him and he sat hesitantly next to me, going to hold me but paused.

"Y/n. What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did I do something?" He asked next to me quickly. I shook my head and looked down, not being able to form words, my throat closing. suffocating me. His presence and his confusion suffocating me.

"Y/n" he said softly, placing his hand on my leg. I pushed it off. "I don't understand" he shook his head. I took a deep breath and stood up.

"That's the problem Matt, you don't understand" I said shaking my head and wiping my face. "You don't understand that every single thing you do fucking kills me! You're killing me." I yelled down at him. He just stared up at me, like a lost puppy.

"Don't look at me like-like that" I said turning my head starting to cry harder. He stood up reaching for me but I stepped back. "No" I whimpered.

"Y/n-" he started to say but I cut him off. "It's not f-fair!" I pointed at him.  "It's not fair that you hold me after we have sex. It's not fair that you kiss me like you care about me. It's not fair that you tell me you think about me all day. It's not fair that tell me not to see anyone else. It's not fair that you almost rip your best friend's fucking head off for flirting with me." I said out of breath. His face turned hard and he looked down.

"It's not fair that call me yours when I'm n-not!" I yelled letting the tears stream down my face, clawing at my chest. He just blinked up at me.

"Y-You don't get it" I breathed. "You don't get that every single thing you say to me-" I took a deep breath. I couldn't think, everything that was in my mind was coming out like a word vomit.

"Y-you treat me like your fucking girlfriend and drop my hand when someone walks by. You don't even want to be the one to introduce me to your best friend. Y-You pull me into your room when you have to ask me what's wrong because you don't want people to see that you care." I shook my head, hearing it all fall out of my mouth just made it more of a reality.

"And-and I get it okay? I get it that it was my choice. I agreed to this, but how can you-" I bit my lip looking up. "How you lay there and do those things and-" I cried cutting myself off, shaking my head. "It's not fucking fair" I whispered.

Things that I've kept bottled up forever and had never vocalized before were spilling out of my mouth as I cried in front of the boy I loved most, the boy that was killing me.

"Everyday I lay there hoping and wishing that you would-" I closed my eyes trying to breath.

"You hide me like I'm some huge secret and it's killing me" I cried holding my chest. Matt stood silently in front of me with his mouth slightly parted staring at me.

"You drive 25 minutes out of your way to give me your shirt because you thought I was mad that you asked me to give it back." I breathed looking at him, shaking my head.

"Matt, you're fucking killing me" I said barley above a whisper. Silence filled the room around us. I looked down at my feet. My heart beating out of my chest. The silence slicing through me like a knife. This was it. It was all out there.

"Y/n" he breathed. I looked up at him with tear stained cheeks. His eyes full of sorrow as he stared at me.

"I was a virgin" I admitted. His eyes went wider. "What?" He asked suddenly. I licked my lips and looked down at my feet.

"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to not take me seriously. I-I wanted this. I thought I could do it like this. I thought it would be easier, I didn't realize that-" I stopped taking in a deep breath.

"You were my first everything" I said looking at him. He blinked at me. I realized with his expression that It wasn't fair that I didn't tell him. It wasn't fair to him and It wasn't fair to myself. "What?" His voice broke. I bit my lip and looked to the side and then back at him.

"I'm such-I thought that-" I let out a breath. I looked at him, hurt filling his face. "I thought that one day you would wake up and realize that you wanted more. That you wanted to show me to your friends not h-hide me behind closed doors-" I shook my head as a sob came up my throat, realizing how ridilcious this sounded as it came out of my mouth.

"That you'd wake up and realize that you-" I let out a shaky breath along with a sob.

"Matt, I love you" I admitted, his face dropped. "Y/n-" he breathed stepping forwards. I shook my head stepping back and hitting the wall slightly.

"I can't-" I shook my head. "I can't do this anymore" I said through a sob. "I can't live another day just being the girl who sits and waits for the boy to love her back" I cried before turning and waking out of the room.

"Y/n. Wait. Please don't-" Matt ran after me. The noises of the party came back over me as it felt like everyone's eyes came to me. I looked down hiding my face as I bolted towards the kitchen.

"Y/n?" I heard Chris's voice. I looked up at him, worry filling his face. I turned and saw Matt walking quickly behind me.

"Y/n?" I heard Lucy's voice I looked up at her. Horror filled her face and she looked at Matt approaching us. "Let's go. We're leaving right now" she said grabbing my arm and pulling me away.

I nodded as we walked to the front door, a cry coming out of my mouth. I turned and saw Chris stopping Matt, pushing his chest and Matt argued towards him before I turned around leaving the party.

Matt pov

"Y/n" I breathed, tears filling my eyes as I watched Lucy grab her arm and drag her away. I went to go after her but felt Chris push my chest back. I looked up at him, anger filled his face. I tried to move past him but he stood in front of me.

"Move" I spat harshly trying to move past him again but he pushed me back again. I watched as she walked out of the door and out of my life. I felt my heart drop. I swallowed feeling tears start to run down my face.

"What did you do?" Chris asked angrily at me. I looked over at him. "I didn't-" I breathed looking between him and Nick. "Get out of my way" I said through gritted teeth, pushing him harder. I was't losing her. Under any circumstance. She can't leave like this. What if she gets hurt? What if she does something stupid? What I never saw her again? She can't walk away like this.

I felt Nick's arm pull me back. "Matt stop!" Nick said. I turned around and looked at him. "Let her go" Nick said softly. "Nick I will rip your arm off, let me go now" I spat. He bit his lip as he looked at me. I realized that the party talk had stopped around us and everyone was looking at us.

"I will fight you in front of everyone. I don't care. I can't let her leave" I said glaring at him, my eyes full of tears. He just blinked at me. I ripped my arm away from him and sprinted towards the door. I ripped the door open and ran down the driveway, the tears clouding my vision. I could barely see.

"Please" I mumbled looking around. She was nowhere to be found. "Fuck" My voice broke. I heard footsteps come from behind me as I walked back and forth down the street. No sign of her anywhere.

She left.

I turned kicking the trash can to the ground and fisting my hair with my hand. I looked over to see Chris and Nick looking at me with a worried expression from the driveway. I tore my eyes away from them, looking away as a cry escaped my throat. I covered my face with my hands as the tears came.

I heard footsteps approach me and I felt a hand on my back. I pushed away from them. I looked up.

"A-Are you happy?" I asked looking between them. They both looked at each other. I wiped my nose and looked down. "Are you?" Nick asked looking at me, making me look up at them. "What?" I spat, trying to catch my breath. Nick sighed and looked down.

"We told you-" Chris started. "I'm not talking about this with you" I cut him off pushing past him. "I told you that you were gonna hurt her!" He screamed back at me making me stop. I glared down at the ground. "She didn't deserve that" Chris breathed. I bit my lip before letting out a deep breath. I stopped, sitting down on the grass. They walked over sitting next to me. I shook my head as I leaned down crying between my knees.

"I didn't-" I shook as their arms came around me. "How could I-" I choked. I leaned up attempting to breathe. "I should have-" I stopped as I cried. "She told me she loved me" I whispered, Chris and Nick looked at each other.

"And you didn't already know that?" Nick asked looking down at me. I looked over at him. I closed my eyes and sighed. A part of me knew that. A part of me saw it in the way she looked at me, or the way she spoke to me. The other part of me just didn't want to accept that.

"You fell in love with her too, you're just too fucking prideful to admit it" Chris said making me, bite my lip. "I don't date" I said shaking my head. Chris stood up standing in front of me. "Will you get over yourself?" He yelled down at me. I didn't look up at him.

"Look at you right now! You almost fought Nick in there for stopping you from getting to her and you're gonna sit here and tell me that you don't love her?" He yelled. I glared at my feet. "You talk about her like she's the only thing you think about for god's sake!" He said throwing his hands up.

"You're private about your life with her and I get that, I do, but if you were just using her for a good fuck and that's it- wouldn't you brag about it? Wouldn't you tell you're best friends about what she does behind closed doors?" He asked making me look up at him. I glared at him, tightening my fists.

"Chris" Nick said warningly. Chris scoffed shaking his head. "No" He said crossing his arms. "No, he doesn't." He looked back at me. "What does she do huh?" Chris said raising his eyebrows. I closed my eyes. I can't fight my brother. I can't fight my brother. My mind screamed at me.

"Is she good at giving head?" He asked suddenly my eyes snapped open at him. I let out a breath. "What kind of underwear does she wear? Hm?" He asked looking at me. I felt all the blood rush to my head. He can't talk about her like that. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Or does she even wear any at all?" He said. I stood up pushing him back. "Matt!" Nick stood up. Chris walked back to me, pushing me and then we were in a full on brawl. He punched me in the shoulder and I punched him across the face.

"Matt what the fuck!" Nick yelled between us. Chris wiped his mouth, blood present on his hand. Chris held his hand up to stop Nick from interfering. He spat on the ground before walking back towards me. "You wanna go? Let's go fuck boy" He said motioning for me to come towards him. I walked over to him grabbing him by the shoulders and onto the ground beneath us.

"Get off of each other!" Nick yelled. He pushed himself on top of me, holding me against the ground.

"You talk about how pretty her eyes are" He breathed looking down at me. I struggled beneath him, glaring up at him. He pushed my shoulders harder against the ground. I was breathing heavy up at him. "You talk about what joke's she told" He stated. I stopped struggling.

"You talk about her like you love her" He said letting my shoulders go. I turned my head and tears started to come up to my eyes again. "You just need to get over yourself and admit it" He said climbing off me completely. I let out a breath sitting up.

They both looked down at me. I avoided their eyes and looked away.

"Of course I'm in love with her" I admitted out loud for the first time. Nick smiled down at me and Chris shook his head. "How could someone not be?" I sighed rubbing my face. "I treated her like shit" I said realizing everything I've done to her. They just stood in front of me.

"Fuck" I said hanging my head. "What do I do?" I asked looking up at them, they just looked at each other.

lollll sorry i'm just gonna leave this hear (dont hate me)❤️

The Awardist - Nicholas Galitzine & Taylor Zakhar Perez

I have to write down the best bits and record my thoughts while listening to this because I am completely losing my mind over what is our first real interview with the boys that was recorded in real time.

27:55 - right off the bat we got a great inside joke/reference from the host that had me cackle

28:19 - taylor being happy to see their faces and nicholas immediately shutting him down like "well i'm not happy to see taylor's face"

28:40 - taylor joking about putting a post-in note over nick's face lmfao

29:30 - the way they don't want to talk over each other, it's giving alex's bedroom flashbacks

29:40 - nick being like "oh! oh, it's good!" when dipping into the online response when the movie released lmfao 😆

30:33 - the silence following the social media question where they were apparently nodding followed by taylor saying they were texting each other like "mate" "mate" back and forth

31:20 - THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SIGNING WARS

31:44 - nicholas calling taylor "this little fucker" had me dying cause me and @meraki-yao were literally referring to him as that in our conversation on ig yesterday

32:00 - nicholas genuinely asking taylor "what possessed you to do this?"; it's giving storage closet in the children's hospital vibes when henry's like "why do you dislike me?"

33:04 - "take it nick" immediately upon being asked the dense question regarding fans reacting to their portrayals of henry and alex, and the way that nicholas laughs and stutters makes me think that taylor totally did that on purpose to mess with him lmfao

34:00 - taylor stopping to talk to fans regardless of where he is or where he's going and specfically mentioning how meaningful it was that people have said *TW* they were contemplating suicide when they read the book/watched the movie and that it helped them 🥺

35:40 - the host referred to the film as "a coming out story", which i don't really agree with as a label because the coming out portion is an added piece of their relationship as two public figures, but their love is the actual story

36:40 - nicholas referring to the film as "wholesome and funny" made me smile so much because it truly is wholesome

37:18 - not the host making the "top to bottom" joke 😭

37:58 - nicholas and taylor have talked about their friendship with each other and how they instantly clicked; nick knew within a few minutes of rehearsal that taylor was "his buddy" 🥺

38:41 - catch me squaring up with everyone who has made nicholas self conscious and self deprecating about doing so much intimacy work on the screen that he refers to it as "basically his thing" like that's all he's recognized for; i am so ready to punch some motherfuckers 😡

39:10 - "it's so fun now, seeing my mate at all these awards and stuff"; catch me fucking crying

39:24 - not taylor misremembering the "nicholas or joey" question as "who was the better kisser"; he totally combined the "is nicholas a good kisser" question with the "who has your heart tonight" question

40:05 - taylor talking about matthew's background in theatre and how they got to actually rehearse with each other; i will never stop being insanely grateful that matthew is a theatre guy

40:55 - the way i said "oh my god" out loud because i was so excited by the question

41:14 - improvised the "physicality" of the store room; i.e. they just fell on top of each other and clamored around 😂

41:32 - the way i literally gasped so hard that i started coughing when nicholas called taylor "tay", i am not even fucking joking, that was so fucking cute 😭

43:42 - fucking wheezed upon realizing where the question going

44:02 - the knowing way taylor was like "i will take this one" lmfao

45:10 - not me going so red from second hand embarrassment 🫣

45:44 - taylor bringing the jockstrap that nicholas wears in bottoms, and nicholas immediately adding "i won't even go into mary & george" 😂

47:51 - taylor finishing nicholas' sentence about matthew's direction for the cake scene; sharing a braincell lol

48:36 - taylor's dog passed away the night of the first day of filming like wow, that fucking sucks 🥺😭

49:05 - "everyone's looking at me with these sad eyes" made me so sad but then taylor said "do you want some tea?" in a terrible british accent lmfao

49:50 - nicholas complimenting and boosting taylor's performance while having such a hard time emotionally 🥺

50:49 - taylor bringing up running through the museum; i can hear the smile in his voice while talking about it 😭

51:28 - they filmed the kensington palace fight and the red room the week after nicholas got covid

52:40 - oh my god, the way you can hear nick grinning as he throws taylor under the bus for the sequel question 😂

53:30 - taylor wants a second book to base the sequel off of

54:03 - taylor used they/them pronouns for casey!! see? he knows, it was totally nerves

55:20 - it felt like it was over too soon, i desperately need more of them PLEASE 😭

This is the greatest thing that's happened in like, a month for me lmfao I am literally begging for more people to interview the boys about RWRB, I am so fucking desperate for more content of the two of them together. They are everything to me 🥺

The Rich Young Man

16 Then someone came to him and said, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. 19 Honor your father and mother. Also, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “I have kept all these; what do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, “Then who can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”

27 Then Peter said in reply, “Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?” 28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name’s sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first. — Matthew 19:16-30 | New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE) New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.

"My God, my God, why hast you forsaken me."

Fyodor said that as he allegedly died.

Those are also Jesus' last words according to the book of Matthew (chapter 27 verse 46) and the book of Mark (chapter 15, verse 34).

Which is interesting because in the book of John (chapter 19, verse 30) it is recounted as him saying "It is finished".

And in Luke (chapter 23, verse 46) it is written he said "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit."

So, we have a few reasons why Fyodor may have said the first one rather than the last two. (or why the writers chose this particular verse)

From a writing point of view, Fyodor is a 'religious' character, and what he said is simply a nod to that. It also is easily recognized as a line pulled from the bible. ("My God, my God, why hast you forsaken me," is written in both Matthew 27 and in Psalm 22, Jesus was quoting David). Fyodor could be quoting one or both of them.

The writers are trying to foreshadow a return. @originalaccountname made a post mentioning the timeline, how the plan is to use the page in three days. Jesus died and resurrected on the third day. Coincidence? Possibly not.

Dying was not Fyodor's plan. If so "It is finished" would have probably been Fyodor's choice of words if he had a plan to die and come back. That part of the plan being finished and all.

Any of these seem like plausible reasons, so it is hard for me personally to settle on one. I'm also still kind of trying to wrap my head around this last episode. It's weird to not have already read the manga, and the episode itself feels off.

pov: layla

My eyes cracked open as the sun pointed into the bedroom. It took me a moment to register where I was as I let my eyes adjust to the piercing light. I sat up, my entire body aching as I cracked my neck lazily. There was no one else in the bed and the spot beside me was now cold but the smell of Matt still surrounded me. I rubbed my eyes, the bruise beside my left eye ached as I bumped it with my hand. I sighed, the pain in my lower back still thumping.

I crawled out of the bed and trudged over to the full-length mirror in the corner. I stared at myself, wondering who I was and what I was doing. I didn’t look like me anymore. The dark bruises littered my face, the heavy bags under my eyes, the gauze that hid a gash in my face that still stung every time I moved my cheek. I lifted up the hoodie and spun around, swivelling my head to look at the giant bruise covering the lower half of my back. I sighed, closing my eyes as I pulled the material back down again. There were small bruises on my legs but they didn’t concern me.

My head was pounding and I looked around the room, noticing the alarm lock on the bedside table. It read 10:30 am and I furrowed my eyebrows.

Had Matt gone to school and left me here? Was anyone here?

The bedroom door opening jumped me out of my thoughts as I yelped, sighing when I realised it was Matt.

“You scared the fuck out of me,” I mumbled, my voice raspy and my throat sore as I placed my hand on my chest.

“Sorry. Didn’t think you were awake yet,” he said softly with an apologetic smile as he stepped into the room with now wet hair. He wore a green hoodie with black sweatpants, his beard now starting to fully grow out instead of patches of hair on his face.

“The beard looks good,” I told him with a smile, my mind letting go of all the pain my body was in as I stared at him, “You should keep it.”

“I feel like it makes me look 25,” he chuckled, closing the door behind him as he ran his hand along the hair on his face.

“Luckily for you,” I walked towards him as I placed my hands in the pockets of his green hoodie, “I like older guys.”

“Slow down, cowgirl. You’re gonna need to rest a couple more days," he gently wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me into his chest. I groaned, tilting my head back to look up at him.

"Can I at least have a kiss?" I pouted dramatically making him chuckle before he leaned down, pressing his lips to mine and I melted into his touch once again.

I ignored the sting in my lip from where it was split as I wrapped my arms around his torso underneath his hoodie, the warm skin making goosebumps rise on mine. I ran my hands along the waistband of his sweatpants, realising that he wasn't wearing any boxers making me smirk.

He pulled away from my lips as he looked down at me with raised eyebrows, "You need to chill."

"I missed you," I whined and he smirked, pressing a gentle kiss to my lips again.

"I missed you too pretty girl," he mumbled against my lips and I smiled feeling close to him again. He pulled away from me again before glancing down at my lips, "Your lip is bleeding."

"I know," I nodded, unphased by the pain now and I noticed the tinge of red across his lips.

"It's hot," he smirked and I shook my head with a smile, letting out a breathy chuckle.

"I'm glad my pain brings you joy," I joked and his smirk deepened as his arms fell from my shoulders, wrapping around my waist instead.

"If you were in serious pain I'd know," he leaned down, kissing gently underneath my ear and I let out a breath, "I have a feeling you like it, baby."

I let my eyes flutter closed at the sound of his low voice and the way his lips felt against the skin of my neck. His right hand travelled from the grip on my waist to my ass, gripping it roughly making me gasp.

"So much for letting me rest," I breathed and I felt him smirk against my neck before he trailed kisses from my neck to my lips again. He pulled back to look at my face again.

"Hard to resist you when you look so beautiful," he whispered, his eyes scanning my face and I tilted my head, furrowing my eyebrows slightly.

"I have a black eye, my lip is split open and there's a gash on my face," I deadpanned and his face didn't waver from the small smile on his lips.

"And you still look hot as fuck," he spoke clearly making me chuckle, closing my eyes briefly as I chewed the inside of my lip.

"You're a good liar," I whispered half-heartedly and he shook his head, his arms avoiding my lower black to not cause me any more pain. He places his hands on my ass gently, pulling my waist towards his and I felt his hard dick pressed against the black sweatpants making me purse my lips.

"Still think I'm lying, baby?" he furrowed his eyebrows, his mouth showing that he was teasing me as it pulled back into a smirk.

"You are a fucking tease," I shook my head as his face broke into a grin, biting his bottom lip briefly, "Don't look at me like that."

"It's fun to tease you. You get wet so easily," he spoke lowly, the rasp of his voice travelling right through my body and I whined, throwing my forehead on his chest as he chuckled, squeezing my butt once again, "I'm sorry, I'll stop."

"You don't have to stop," I breathed as I looked up at him again, "I just need you to do something about it."

"I will I promise," he whispered as he leaned down and kissed me again before mumbling against my lips, "Just not right now. You need to rest."

"Oh fuck you," I rolled my eyes as I groaned and pulled away from his face as he smiled down at me.

"Come on. Let's go have breakfast," he nodded his head towards the door to his right and I sighed, reluctantly pulling away from him as I ignored the ache between my thighs. I knew he was right, I needed to rest for at least a day. But having built up tension after being away from him all week was driving me mad and I knew he could tell.

He let his arms unravel from around me, instead lacing his fingers with mine as he pulled me out of the bedroom and down the stairs. He reached the kitchen and he still didn't let go of my hand as he walked to the fridge, swinging it open as we both looked inside.

"Pancakes?" he asked and I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked up at him.

"Do you know how to make pancakes from scratch?" I asked, a slight smile on my lips and he paused, shutting the fridge before shrugging.

"No but I can look up a recipe," he said nonchalantly as he turned to face me, our hands still interlocked as he pressed a kiss to my forehead. His sudden affection towards me had my heart swelling as I smiled at him.

"I'll make them," I shrugged, going to pull away from him to walk towards the pantry but he pulled me back in an instant.

"Absolutely not. You will sit here and look pretty while I make them," He grabbed my waist, pulling me up before sitting me on the bench and I gasped at the face he could move me without any issues, "Just tell me what to do."

"I get to boss you around for the next thirty minutes?" I asked as I crossed my legs, leaning back on my hands. I smiled brightly at him and he nodded.

"Yes chef," he gave me a curt nod making me giggle as I began telling him all of the ingredients he would need to make the pancakes.

After giving him a list of ingredients and he placed them on the bench beside me, I told him to get a bowl and spoon. He followed my instructions to a T and I didn't have to intervene once as he mixed the batter.

"How big are we making them?" he asked as he grabbed a pan out of the cupboard below the stove, placing it open the now open flame and grabbed the cooking spray.

"I like making small pancakes," I shrugged as I watched him nod, taking the bowl of batter over near the stove, "Are you sure you don't want my help?"

"I got it, pretty girl," he smiled at me and I tilted my head, a permanent smile on my lips from how sweet he was being. He grabbed a large ceramic plate to put the pancakes on once he finished cooking them.

I continued to watch him as he placed the batter in the pan in small little circles about the size of his palm, watching them closely to make sure they wouldn't burn. He seemed more focused on making pancakes than he ever did in our English class and I found the sentiment cute.

He had gotten about halfway through the batter before I asked, "When is everyone coming back?"

"My mum and dad won't be home till late. They work late every Friday, that's why they're never at our games," he explained and I furrowed my eyebrows, feeling bad that his parents never got to see one of his games, not even the last game of his last year of high school and one that determined who wins the season, "Nick and Chris said that they're gonna get Nate to drop them home after school before we go to the game so around like 3:30."

"Do you have anything I can wear to the game? I don't want to go back to my house yet," I asked quietly and he hummed as he placed more batter in the pan before turning to face me.

"We should go shopping," he said as he leaned his back on the counter to the left of the stove and I furrowed my eyebrows, "Get some clothes for you to leave here for whenever you wanna stay."

"Matthew, you're not spending money on me," I deadpanned and he tilted his head, his eyes curious as he observed me.

"Why don't you like people spending money on you?" he asked, his words gentle and curious rather than harsh and prying. I shrugged as I looked down at my legs, swinging my feet back and forth.

"Just don't like it," I mumbled and I noticed him shaking his head out of the corner of my eye. He turned back to face the stove and flipped the pancakes over one by one, each of them cooked perfectly.

"Tell me the real reason, Layls," he said quietly as he stood over the stove and I sighed, leaning forward and bringing my elbows to my knees. I looked down at my hands as I picked at my nails.

"It's my dad," I mumbled and he turned around, giving me his full attention as I continued to look at my hands, "I have to pay him back for everything so I always feel the need to pay people back whenever they buy me something but I never have enough to pay people back so I just don't want people to buy me things. Ever."

"You wanna know something?" he asked and I lifted my head to look at him. He had a small smile on his lips and he turned down the heat on the pan before he walked over to me, placing his hands on the edge of the bench either side of me, "I wanna spoil you absolutely rotten, pretty girl. I don't like spending money on myself so I'd rather spend it on you."

"Then save your money," I shrugged and he raised his eyebrows, continuing to stare directly into my eyes with a slight smirk on his lips.

"My money has been saved plenty. My parents have enough for college for each of us and everything else is for us to spend until we each get a real job," he explained and I sighed, tilting my head down as I breathed heavily. He slapped my left thigh lightly before pushing away from the counter, "Come on. Pancakes are done."

"What do you put on them?" I asked, jumping off of the counter before I walked over to the fridge, swinging the door open.

I grabbed out the can of whipped cream and the strawberries, placing them on the bench behind me before I grabbed the maple syrup. I turned around to see Matt placing the dirty dishes in the sink before he put the pile of pancakes on the centre of the island I was sitting on previously.

"Just maple syrup," he shrugged and I nodded, sliding the maple syrup to the side of the counter where the barstools stood.

"You have any lemons or lemon juice?" I asked and he gave me a confused look as he placed two plates as well as two sets of knives and forks for us on the island, "What? Lemon and sugar on pancakes is the best."

"I've never heard of that," he furrowed his eyebrows with an amused smile before he walked to the corner of the kitchen where the fruit bowl was placed. He picked up a lemon before throwing it at me and I quickly caught it, giving him an unimpressed look as he chuckled, "Your coordination is getting better."

"Maybe because I'm scared my boyfriend will throw things at me without warning all the time," I rolled my eyes as I shook my head and grabbed a sharp knife from the drawer before I looked up to see he was frozen staring at me.

"Boyfriend?" he asked, a small smile on his lips as he looked at me and my heart dropped, realisation hitting me like a ton of bricks as I placed the knife down next to the lemon on the bench. My mouth was hung open in shock as I stared at him.

"I didn't- I don't know why I said that. We aren't even dating. I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking," I furrowed my eyebrows as I rambled and looked down at the table in embarrassment.

"Layls," he spoke softly and I didn't look at him as I continued to ramble.

"That's really embarrassing, I didn't mean it like that. I just don't know what we are and that's the closest thing but we aren't dating and I'm stupid. I just-"

My words were cut off by Matt's hand coming into contact with my jaw as he delicately pulled my face to look at him. He placed a kiss against my lips gently as my body slowly relaxed and he smiled against my lips.

He pulled away and I waited a moment before I opened my eyes to look up at him to see he was scanning my face, "You can call me your boyfriend if I can call you my girlfriend."

"What?" I asked, looking up at him with my mouth hung open still making him chuckle.

"Layla," he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear before he looked into my eyes again, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"That's a very formal way of asking me," I mumbled and he tilted his head with a frown but a smile still played on his lips.

"Is that a yes or a no?" he asked, his hand still cupping my jaw gently and my face broke into a grin.

"Obviously yes," I beamed as I wrapped my arms around his neck and his hands dropped to my hips. I leaned up, pressing my lips against his again before my mouth broke into a smile making it hard to keep kissing him.

"You're so cute," he mumbled in between kisses and I pulled back to look up at him, nothing but admiration filling my expression.

"These pancakes are gonna get cold if we don't eat them now," I stated and he brushed it off quickly.

"We have a microwave. Now let me kiss my girlfriend," he said quickly and I giggled as he pressed his lips against mine. I ran my fingers across the nape of his neck before I gently tugged on the hairs making him hum against me. I pulled away from him once again as I looked up at him with doe eyes and a beaming smile.

"As fun as this is," I mumbled lowly before pressing a kiss to his jaw, "I'm hungry as fuck."

He laughed as I pulled away from him and rounded the island, sitting down on one of the barstools as I grabbed a couple pancakes and threw them onto my plate.

"You want the lemon and sugar?" he asked, holding up the lemon and knife I left at the end of the counter and I nodded.

"Forgot about that," I smiled and he closed his eyes as he shook his head with a smirk. He walked behind me, pressing a kiss to the top of my head as he put down the lemon and knife next to my plate. He continued to the other side of the kitchen to grab the sugar for me before sitting to my left and placing the sugar on the counter. I kissed his cheek before saying, "Thank you, pretty boy."

+++

After finishing the pancakes, I decided to have a shower while Matt did the dishes. I debated whether or not to wash my hair but I decided it wouldn’t hurt to wash all of the dirt out of it from the day before. I turned the shower on, letting the water heat up as I quickly undressed and I gently pulled the gauze that was clung to my face with medical tape.

All the blood had dried and the cut was less sensitive but it was still extremely noticeable. The only way I’d be able to hide it was glasses the size of half my face or if I wore my hair like the girl from The Ring. I sighed, shaking off the dreadful feeling I had every time I was reminded of the day before as I stepped in the shower. I tried to be as quick as possible, trying not to waste any of their water and I soon enough found myself out of the shower, realising I forgot to ask Matt for a towel.

I groaned, padding my damp feet across the cold tiles as I creaked the door open before I called out, “Matt!”

“What’s wrong?” he asked from his room and before I knew it he was standing in front of the door with a worried expression, “Are you okay?”

“No yeah, I’m fine. I just need a towel please,” I hid my body behind the door as I left my head peeking through the crack and he smiled, nodding quickly before running down the stairs. Moments later, he returned with a grey towel and handed it to me which I gladly took before mumbling a thank you.

“Hey,” he said grabbing my attention and I paused to wait for him to continue, “Are you okay if I head out for a bit? No one will be home for a while and I just need to grab a few things my mom asked me to get.”

“Oh. I can go with you?” I suggested and he brushed it off, leaning forward and placing a kiss on my forehead as I held the towel in front of my body.

“No need pretty girl. I won’t be too long and you can get all pretty while I’m gone. Use anything in the bathroom, it’s free reign,” he smiled and I pursed my lips before nodding, “I’ll lock the front door. See you when I get back baby.”

“Drive safe!” I called out as he walked down the stairs. I waited till I heard the front door close before I closed the door, drying myself off before wrapping the towel around my body.

I grabbed one of the 2 hairbrushes on the counter and detangled the knots in my hair as best as I could before I grabbed the hair dryer, deciding it was easier to blow dry my hair than leave it wet for hours and have it fluff up awkwardly over time. After spending 30 minutes making sure my hair was dry, straight and as flat as it would allow me to get it, my body was fully dry.

Since Matt had said the bathroom was free rein, I decided to see if there was anything to make my body feel less dry. Luckily, I found a bottle of body lotion in the bottom drawer and I smiled as I grabbed it. I sat down on the edge of the tub, lathering myself in the lotion before I wrapped my towel around myself once again placed the bottle back where I found it.

I excited the bathroom, making my way to Matt’s room and I noticed how quiet the house felt when no one was home yet it didn’t feel eerie. No TV’s on, no mumbles of talking, no clattering of food being made in the kitchen or homework frustrations being let out. It was quiet but it was calm and despite this house not being mine, it felt like a home. I smiled to myself as I grabbed a pair of Matts many sweatpants, this pair being a dark blue before I slid on my spaghetti strap tank top.

It was warm enough with the heater on that I didn’t bother grabbing a sweatshirt, deciding to throw myself on Matt’s bed as I impatiently waited for him to return. I sighed, grabbing the remote from the bedside table and flicking the TV on as I opened the Netflix app. About 10 minutes of my time was spent looking through the hundreds of movies before I clicked on something I had watched countless times, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Halfway through the movie, my eyes began to close as I sank further into the soft sheets, the scent of Matt filling me with serenity as I decided a little more sleep couldn’t do any harm.

+++

I woke up to the sound of the front door closing and I shot up, realising I’d slept through the rest of the movie. I rubbed my eyes, realising Matt wasn’t in his room with me still and I furrowed my eyebrows.

“Layls, I’m back!” I heard the familiar voice of my boyfriend call from downstairs and my body flooded with relief as I dragged myself out of the warm bed, “Come here!”

“Coming!” I called back lazily as I tried to adjust my tank top so my boobs would fall out and made sure the sweats were securely on my hips using the drawstring to tighten them. I flattened my hair out as I made my way down the stairs to see Matt standing in the kitchen, grinning at me as he stood in front of the island.

“Sorry I took so long. Got a little sidetracked,” he smiled and I gave him a lazy smile back as I walked directly toward him, laying my head on his chest.

“It’s okay. I had a nap,” I mumbled, my sentence muffled by the grey hoodie he wore and he hummed before I looked up at him to see a grin still spread across his face, “What?”

“I have a surprise,” he pursed his lips to attempt to contain his very evident excitement and I squinted my eyes at him as my eyebrows furrowed.

“I don’t like surprises,” I answered sceptically and he rolled his eyes, grabbing my hand and interlocking his fingers with mine before he pushed away from the counter.

“It’s good I promise,” he quickly said as he pulled me into the living room before he spun around to face me, “I know you don’t want people spending money on you but this is different okay? I saw a bunch of stuff and I wanted to get it for you and I don’t ever want or need you to pay me back for it.”

He moved to the side to show me several bags full of clothes and what seemed to be other various items. My jaw hung open as I stared at the 4 bags that seemed to be full to the brim.

“Matt,” I let my shoulders drop and he stood in front of me again as he shook his head.

“I wanted to, baby. Please just look at what I got before you get mad at me," he raised his eyebrows and I sighed, rubbing my eye that didn't have a bruise anywhere near it before I nodded. He moved to sit on the couch beside the bags as I stood in front of them, giving him a side eye before I picked up the first bag.

I slowly pulled out different clothing items as Matt watched my expression nervously. The first few items were a black tank top, a white tank top and a baby blue tank top. I then pulled out three pairs of cotton shorts that were black, white and pink.

"How did you know my size?" I asked as I held the pair of pink shorts up to my waist, realising it would be a perfect fit.

"I checked the size of your pants that you left in my room and I just guessed with the shirts," he explained with a shrug and I hummed, placing all the items back in the bag. I moved to the next bag and the first item I grabbed from the top was a black zip-up hoodie, "I got that in my size because I figured we could share it."

I let a smile appear on my lips as I looked at him with my head tilted before I threw the jacket on his lap gently. I then picked up two long skirts, one was plain black and the other was a cream colour with a mesh floral pattern over it.

"I got mostly black and white but I got a couple things with color just in case. We can always take this stuff back," Matt bit his bottom lip as he watched me and I hummed in response. I placed the items back in the bag before moving on to the next again.

The first thing I picked up was a plain black long-sleeve shirt before I saw a white and grey one also in the bag. I pulled them out, placing them beside the bag before I pulled out another item that was all black. I picked it up and held it in front of me before realising it was a short black sundress.

"I know you don't like dresses but I figured having one in case you wanna wear one would be good," Matt explained quickly as I pursed my lips, holding the dress up to my body, "And I think it would look pretty on you."

I didn't say anything as I put the dress back in the bag before I put the rest of the items back in the bag with it. I moved onto the last bag which didn't seem to be clothes. I pulled out various makeup items which were mascara, an eyeliner pencil, concealer that was a perfect match, primer and setting powder.

"How did you know to get all of this?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion and he smiled, running his tongue across his teeth.

"I Facetimed Allie and asked her about it all. I only remembered the eyeliner and mascara from when you told me about it so I asked her what else to get," he explained and I nodded, placing the makeup on the couch before looking in the bag again.

There was a packet of hair ties, a few bras and a few pairs of underwear. I pulled out the bras and underwear, holding them in my hands as I looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Well you need bras and underwear when you stay here, don't you?" he asked and I blinked slowly.

"You purposely got all the ones that look like lingerie?" I asked, putting them down on the couch as I gave him a slightly amused smile and he shrugged once again.

"They're cute like you," he stated and I rolled my eyes before I looked back into the bag.

"You're so corny," I mumbled before I reached to pull out the last thing in the bag, realising it was a small velvet box and I furrowed my eyebrows. I looked back at him as I held it up before asking, "What is this?"

"Open it," he nodded towards the box and I glanced between him and the box a few times. I slowly opened the lid of the box for it to reveal a silver chain necklace and a small blue butterfly pendant hanging from the bottom.

"Matt," I breathed as I ran my fingers over the shiny blue butterfly, "How much was this?"

"As far as you're concerned," he said as he got up from the couch and placed his chin on my shoulder as he looked at the necklace, "It costs absolutely nothing. All of this is free."

"I can't believe you," I whispered, a smile threatening to pull on my lips and it didn't take much for it to win.

"Here," he said softly as he pulled the necklace out of the box and unclipped the clasp. He held it up around my neck and I lifted my hair out of the way as the cold metal wrapped around my neck delicately before he clipped it together at the back of my neck. I grabbed the small charm, looking down at it with a smile.

A weight fell on my chest, realising he had spent probably hundreds of dollars on all of these things and I knew I couldn't repay him. I pursed my lips, letting out a heavy breath as my shoulders slumped. Matt wrapped his arms around my waist, placing his chin back on my shoulder as he kissed under my ear gently.

"Stop worrying about it baby," he whispered as I dropped the charm against my skin again, turning to look at him, "I can see the wheels turning in your head."

"I don't deserve you," I mumbled as I scanned his face. He lifted his head from my shoulder, spinning me around so I face him before he cupped my jaw with his hand.

He placed a gentle kiss on my lips before he whispered, "You deserve so much more."
