matthew was never someone who would be seen as the first to die in a horror movie , he wasn't trusting without reason . if he felt in danger he knew better than most that he was well equipped to defend himself , something he felt the man across from him couldn't tell with his laissez-faire attitude . of course , everything about arlo in matthew's mind is surface level . he is stranger after all . the brunet finds he is too relaxed for his own good and possibly too friendly ( something matthew easily relates with from his own history ) . whilst he was a theorist at heart and his mind ran with notions and ideas regarding the blonde before him , he knew better than to speak on it yet ; though , a part of him obviously felt trust with the invitation of being shown somewhere most would deem private .

honestly , matt thinks its because he wasn't recognized as a ' celebrity ' first , and that funnily enough HE'D recognized arlo first . perhaps not from real life , but from something far more subconsciously deep . how profound in nature that was , something that currently fell onto the deaf ears of a man more swept away by a seemingly easy to have conversation . at the motion and shift in conversation , the brunet is easy to start the trek , giving a small nod in response as his steps faltered to let alro fall at his side rather than behind .

the teasing doesn't go unnoticed , something that makes the brunet snort and shake his head , casting a narrowed hazel gaze full of jest . " you think you're r e a l funny , huh ? " a titter leaves him , bringing his attention back to the leaf scattered asphalt . " no , no . his name is skip ! i call him skeep more often than not . just some domestic short hair i adopted a while ago who loves to torment me day to day . " matthew shrugs , looking up at the man . " but , my life wouldn't be the same without him . gives me something routine to do beyond making videos ! " his head gestures to the blonde , tone soft as he returns the question back to sender .

" how about you , arlo ? do you have any pets ? you seem like a dog guy to me . i don't know why , like chihuahuas . " a smile meets matt's eyes as his gaze directs to arlo and a giggle leaves him , keeping his pace slow and methodical .

@vancss asked: ❝ i know what you're thinking. ❞

hazel eyes cast from his phone screen to the man before him , cocking a brow with a faint smile . matthew admittedly didn't know much about evan , he'd never really gone to the gaming side of youtube in terms of those who PLAYED the games themselves . despite him not being familiar with the other , matt had always been great at pairing names with faces , and evan's face was surely recognizable . he can't help the small snicker that passes his lips , tucking the device into his jacket pocket as he looked up to the other from his chair . " well , i'm thinking retirement might look good on you . " with that , he places his hands to his knees and offers out out to the raven .

" vanoss , or . . . evan , right ? it's nice to meet you ! "

vibrancy was the tamest word to describe matthew , especially when it came to watching over the YOUTH of today . kids had a way of keeping matt in tune with the current day and age as well as keep him young in the way he had to KEEP up . mireya was a bit less energetic than other kids her age , but , if anything , that just made the brunet try harder to ensure the little girl had fun every time he was tasked with taking care of her for the day . plus , he knew how nice it was for jack to get a break when needed , give his friend time to catch up with errands and week to week tasks he's been backlogging to watch over mireya .

" light is on the way , we'll be having a fun time . " the brunet mused , hazel eyes glancing from the road to his passenger with a toothy grin . he'd planned for them to go to the beach . something simple and easy , something that required nothing of the girl but to have FUN . matt glances up through his sunglasses at the halo of sun that peaked over the clouds that painted an otherwise blue sky . " it's such a lovely day , " an elbow comes out to gently nudge the young girl with a face splitting grin , " we should pocket the SUNSHINE ; and , n e v e r give it back , even IF there's a heat wave ! "

@blueheartedmayor <3'd [ x ] for a lyric starter ! || the oh hellos - constellations

hazel eyes holding a rumble deeper than that of a roaring thunderstorm struggle to find damien's , the words that had fought their way to the surface dying all together at once as if something had been said ; as if something had been thought . he stutters , but goes to speak again , hands idly gripping at his jeans as he strives to look the other in the face . " s-sorry , i babble on until my voice is gone ; but , this hill i'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks . colored indigo and inscribed with my name , and lined with cedar ; but , the words fall flat like cymbals c r a s h i n g . . . like molars gnashing . " fair hands come to rub at his face with a hefty sigh . " i like to think i am doing the right thing at times , that moving on is for the best when it comes to the internet , ya' know ? but , there are SO many people who look forward to hearing from me , strangers i've never met , and it's CRAZY , but i c a r e . "

matthew clears his throat , adverting his gaze . " i'm hoping maybe you'll understand the feeling , i know it's far-fetched , but it's like . . . constellations imploding in the night , everything is turning . the shapes that you drew change beneath a different light , and everything you thought you knew will fall apart ; but , you still have to be alright . it's . . . uncertainty , and it scares me . . . " hazel finally meets damien's gaze and the brunet immediately deflates . " sorry , i know this is a lot to dump on you , " he gives a weak chuckle , " just trying to get it off my chest to move forward with my day , ya ' know ? "

matthew could easily get into it when given the chance when it came to his science knowledge , but more often than not there wasn't an ear in his personal life that really wanted to sit it out with a lecture about how the sun functioned . yet , here he was , with an open ear and a fond smile that didn't seem to care that this was going to delve into a long winded speech . a sincere smile meets the brunet's features as his gaze locks from the horizon over to arlo , seeing the softness written across his face . for a moment , he's forgotten what it was he was going to say , finding the new view something far more interesting , before pulling himself from his though to look to the setting sun .

he clears his throat before starting . " it's because when the sun is setting on the horizon , its going through a thicker portion of the atmosphere . " a fair hand comes out to point to the setting sun , following its path . " when it reaches this thicker part the blue light scatters and leaves more red and yellow light . in turn , our eyes perceive that the sun is getting redder as it sets . "

Something roughly hit Matthew's shoulder. "Ah! Sorry! It slipped outta my hand!" Wilford, who had been a few feet away, hurried over to grab the offensive item - a pink, glittery microphone. It was pointed properly at Matthew. "What gotcha into all this theory-research stuff, an' why do ya keep doin' it after all this time?" (rosetintedgunman)

the brunet hissed as metal hit his arm , soft eyes and furrowed brows raising to see the perpetrator . when hazel land upon brown , the theorist instinctively felt a small smile grace his features . matt really couldn’t be mad at wilford for long about anything , unless he did something TERRIBLE matthew would always trust him and take him as he came . a brow cocks , smile shifting coy as he leaned into the mic . “ is this thing even on , wil ? “ he snickers before deciding it better to humor the reporter .

“ well ! those are both . . . great questions ! i’ll answer back to front on this one and give a small bit of insight on why i keep making theories . short answer , i really love doing this . that is undeniable ! “ his small smile turns vibrant , speaking more so to wilford than the mic . “ yes , it’s become my job , but i wake up every day excited to do it , and that’s not something everyone gets to say ! “

he shrugs , chuckling . “ i mean as to why i started , that’s actually an easy answer . i wanted to have something to go on a résumé . “ the brunet titters , a high pitched laugh that has him clasping a hand onto the reporter . “ i’m KIDDING !! well , kinda . it was a great thing to have for potential employers to look at , but i also had a passion for thing based in science and LOVED sharing my thoughts with people ! thanks for the questions , wilford ! “

@luckyg1rlsyndrome asked: ❛ there’s bravery in being soft ❜ to matt from willa ooooooo lets have these two meet

matthew looked willa over , expression muddled between something understanding and something minutely on edge . there were facets of the woman that lead matt to air on the side of safety , from the bright pink hair , to the wild eyes , to the way she spoke , all these factors ran through the brunet's head when he decided whether he wanted to engage in conversation beyond general politeness . hazel eyes cast to the ground for a moment , lips pursing in thought before a soft sigh passed through his nose .

" there is , for sure . " a small smile graces his features as he looks back up to meet willa's gaze , body language softening if only slightly . " takes a LOT to be soft when the world can be so hard on you , but . . . ya' know , someone has to bring good with them in the world ! " the brunet gives a soft chuckle , sticking a hand out towards the woman . " hi , by the way ! i'd . . . hate to assume that you might know me , so my name's matthew ! "

@murdermelody asked: heart x2! nate gives him a kiss on the temple, then anna swoops in with a kiss to the cheek! :3c

the brunet trained his eyes along his laptop screen , gingerly holding his head upright as he read over emails idly . matthew is easily ripped from his acutely divided attention when he feels a pair of plush lips press to his temple , hazel eyes quickly snapping to a shaggy head of black and craning his head to look up at his boyfriend . a simpering smile splits his features , his free hand coming to cup nate's face as his eyes delicately looked over the raven's features . " hi , honey , what's going on--- " his words are cut off by another pair of lips pressing hard into his cheek , feeling soft hair brush against his face and the distinct feeling of lipstick ( maybe lip gloss ? ) smear against his skin when the culprit pulls away .

matthew can't help the giggle that leaves him , the hand at his mouse closing his screen so he can blindly reach for anna's hand before bringing his attention unto her as well . " well , hi , BOTH of my babies ! nice of you two to peak in here , but what's got you two popping into my office , hm ? " he cocks a brow , smile turning something a bit sly , although overall still sweet . " did you guys miss me or something ? " matt jests , the hand holding anna's giving hers a squeeze while the hand holding nate's face drops to rest along his neck .

if the brunet's endless interactions with all things horror didn't show it in enough , no amount of contact with scary content would ever REALLY desensitize matthew . he'd never been the greatest horror fan growing up , so when he hit the ground running on making theories about this kinda stuff in his adulthood that's when he'd started getting the most exposure to it . but naturally , with it being fall and with matt having his good friend dawko in his company JUST to hang out without , the brunet found it only RIGHT to have the pair sit down for something spooky to get into the feeling of the season .

hazel eyes watched over the screen tentatively through cracked fingers , a deep frown pulled at his face . even with the crescendo-ing music , the swirling atmosphere building up to a deafening halt , and for a moment matthew feels safe before the air is cut by the screech of the jumpscare , two hands grabbing onto his form making the brunet almost leap out of his skin as he jumps a good inch off his seat and finds his own hands grasping onto lewis . once the realization of the LACK of danger settles in , his human brain piecing together that the adrenaline that ran through his veins was purely artificial due to the scare presented , big hazel eyes look up to dawko and the brunet can feel the giggles that shake his own form , hands giving the younger man a small squeeze before retracting his touch .

" see ? i TOLD you this was a perfect movie for the season ! " matt chortles , eyes casting back to the screen before settling onto lew in full . " . . . not to make it sound like you're some scaredy-cat or anything , but if the movie is too much , let me know , okay ? i can absolutely turn something else on ! "

[gamethecry]

matthew didn't prod more than necessary , they tried to put a hard line in between prodding into things like video games and television shows , but when it came to things like other people's theoretically real life lives , matt did his best to keep his nose clean and his questions brief . the brunet tried really hard to keep people's lives out of his videos , they weren't his to profit on unless it was his own life ; which , at this point , he documented everything for memories more than anything else . the other's answer made matt cock a brow before they furrowed , tilting their head . despite the confused look , his tone is serious and genuine . " curiosity , " he mainly was puzzled , at this point having believed that the man before him was a friend's close family and had no air of mystery besides some fleeting thoughts in matt's mind , " although , if there is some truth , i do have bad news because i have already kind of made a video about all those videos mark has posted so far . " they give another chuckle , this time , a bit weaker than the first one as some uncertainties flooded his mind . was this man not the person he thought he was ? " but hey , a delete button is readily available and i am more than happy to take it down ! " once again , matt considered mark a friend , and assuming that will is "family" , matthew wanted to be nothing less than respectful . hazel eyes dart around the house , only now focusing on the outfit that wilford was wearing . he squinted and gestured a hand , pointing towards it .

" speaking of , did you guys do a shoot today ? did you have fun ? " so naive , they give a toothy grin .

there was an air of mystery when it came to wilford . matthew had only ever been privy to the knowledge of who this man was from videos that the brunet had thought / do think are based in FICTION rather than real life events . he wanted to ask questions , see what were truths and what were lies , how different this “ man “ was from the fabrication that mark had plastered all over the internet .

at this point , their interactions had been rather tame , besides matt’s initial shock when being faced with the other in the first place . hazel eyes are trained on the practical stranger for a couple of second before glancing to the floor , and then back again ; they were trying to formulate the best question to ask this man without seeming intrusive or rude .

“ so … i gotta know … those videos mark posted , are they purely works of fiction or is there some truth behind his theatrics ? “ he giggles at the end , flashing the other a polite smile .

Fucking bet! I’m going to let you pick from these two because I’m indecisive all hell right now

👄– kissing them on their lips or 👅– giving them a love bite on their neck and jawline

matthew glanced up from his laptop when he heard feet approaching him , giving a toothy grin to nathan as he walked closer . “ hey , glad to see you got here s - - “ he’s cut off by a kiss being placed against his lips and is almost positive the other can feel him grinning into it . when nate pulls away , the brunet tries again on his welcoming with that same smile . “ once again , “ hazel eyes note the raven coming in even closer , but decides to continue his statement . “ i’m glad you got here safe . “ his voice almost d i s a p p e a r s by the end of the sentence though as he feels teeth nip at his olive skin .

he can feel his face get WARM, raising a hand to gently card through nathan’s hair . “ y’know , i honestly just expected a ‘ hello ‘ , but . . . “ he hums , “ I’m not complaining about this either . “ a chuckle leaves matthew , eyes training back onto his laptop screen .
