that's... literally dad! matty dancing idc im just thinking of him going to the schools christmas celebration and doing that on the dance floor to crack annie up... and trust teacher reader is s o gone for him bc she just finds it nothing but absolutely endearing oh :,,,,,)

(also still not over day 1 of the fic series i think i mightve actually cried reading that ur writing is sooooo xxxx) - bff anon :)

oh, he is made to be a dad, like that is textbook dad dancing!!!!

him and annie showing up to the dance and they're both so fucking cute. Annie is in a sparkly dress and looks adorable, matty is in normal clothes but you can see the lapels of his jacket are covered in stickers from Annie.

you obviously go over and speak to them, "Hi guys! wow, Annie, you look amazing! are you excited about the Christmas dance?" and annie eagerly nods and drops her dad's hand, running off to see her friends.

matty goes to shout after her but gives up and just watches her dance and giggle.

"I'm loving the stickers by the way, I'm assuming they are yours?" Your voice pulls matty back, and he quickly re-focuses on you.

or he tries to, but then gets distracted by how beautiful you look. the decorated hall with all the snowflakes and lights is the perfect backdrop for you, matty can't help but skirt his eyes over you for a few seconds too long...

Once he comes back to earth, he laughs lightly at your joke and answers, "ah yeah you caught me, I love paw patrol stickers"

later on, the dj does a group announcement that it's time for the parents to get on the dance floor, and matty initially shakes his head at annie.

he dances all day like a twat in front of stadiums, but a room full of 5 year olds are a lot more ruthless. and he's not sure he can cope with the embarrassment of you watching him. (Little does he know he couldn't do anything that would make you less in love with him)

but one shaky lip and a pair of sad eyes later and he's on the dance floor doing everything he can to make annie giggle.

you are just watching with the biggest grin on your face, seeing Annie laughing so hard, and matty being the best dad makes your heart so warm. (the school receptionist who ships you and matty is eyeing you both eagerly, watching the love swirl in your eyes)

you yearn to be over there with them. Maybe if you were with matty, he'd be spinning you around and dancing silly with you and annie. maybe he'd hold her, and you'd all dance as a family. later on, you'd do a slower dance. He'd act cheesy and dip you dramatically before kissing you.

on the drive home, you'd all sing to Christmas songs in the car. At the house, you would make hot chocolates for everyone and curl up on the sofa to watch home alone. Annie would curl up with mayhem, and you'd do the same with matty.

but that's not reality for you. So for now, you just watch.

(AHH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED DAY 1!!! my writing is questionable I think but the fact that it made you slightly emo has made my day lol <3)
