Another fall themed Matt fic. This one is more of a blurb. Pretty fluffy and a little angst. Hope y’all enjoy.

You feel your heart thud against your chest. The corn maze was much scarier at night. But maybe that was what was so enticing about it. You were there with Matt but split up because you disagreed in where to go. But you felt him close to you. The crush of the fallen corn and the white cloud passing through your lips with every breath. The sun had set and you did not want to be stuck out here longer than necessary. “Matt? Matt?!” You yell. Feeling eyes on you but with a sudden brush of the corn you bolt. It was probably the wind but you were so skittish, you thought better safe than sorry.

As you are running you look back and run into something solid with an oof. “I knew you’d be running into my arms,” Matt says. “Whatever, can you help me up?” He extends an arm and you rise from the ground. “You know if I didn’t know any better I’d think you were scared.” “You wish,” you reply rolling your eyes. “No? I heard you running earlier. I bet your heart was beating so fast you felt it in your ears.” His incessant teasing was taking a new turn on you. Was he flirting? “We need to get out soon did you find a map at the checkpoint?”, you say changing the subject. “What checkpoint?” “The one you insisted was on the left and we split up about! Do you really not have one?” “No, sorry.” His casual attitude was irritating. How could he be so calm. Thankfully your phone was fully charged and there were lights on the path so you wouldn’t be stumbling in the dark.

Out of the corner of your eye you notice him smirking to himself. “What’s funny?” “You look kind of pretty when you’re mad,” he says as you both walk through the field, looking over to you and back. “Only kind of?” You tease walking faster trying to beat the sun. “Especially in this light,” he says and grabs hold of your hand. “You mean the dark? C’mon we need to leave before there’s a searchpa-“. You’re stopped by the sudden crash of his lips against yours. With your face hot with desire and embarrassment you freeze. “You got a thing for corn?”, your confusion seems to attract him. He goes to cup your jaw, thumb brushing your cheek and you can’t help but fall into it. “You could say that”, he smiles going in for another kiss.

I had this idea since the fan edits video. Matt’s fall freak out was completely warranted and I thought a fic of the reader meeting him at a pumpkin patch would be cute.

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

September 21st you wake from your restless sleep. You had went to bed early but the excitement for the next day kept you up. As you looked outside from your bathroom you saw a fog settle low to the ground, perfect pumpkin patch weather. It was getting colder as the month went on and the leaves were beginning to change as well. Lilly texted the day before that she would pick you up by 11.

As you turn off the shower and enter your closet you try to find an outfit that is cute but also tactile. Settling on a navy blue cable knit sweater, medium wash jeans, and some old carhartt boots.

You get dressed and see you have a few minutes to grab something to eat before Lilly arrives. There wasn’t much you wanted in the fridge so you settled on some crunchy Raisin Bran. It wasn’t too bad once you added some blueberries and bananas.

Drinking the last of the milk you hear a honk and place the bowl in the dishwasher get your keys and hop in the car. “Hey,” you say all smiley.

“What’s up with you?” She drives off with Kesha in the background. “It’s so nice today all dark and stormy.” “Some would call this bad weather.” “Well it’s good for picking pumpkins , very fall.” “True, you can have aux if you want.” “Yeah thanks I’ve had this song stuck in my head all morning,” you play iyaz’s Replay. “Okay throwback,” she chuckles. “It’s so good makes me think of my pink iPod deck. I wonder what happened to that?” “Your brother threw it off the balcony because you wouldn’t stop playing Hannah Montana.” “That demon has been praying on my downfall since I was born!”

Pulling into the patch lot you see only a few other cars, which was nice since you wanted to take pictures too. “I’ll pay and you get the gloves and lay down the tarp,” Lilly says. “Why’d you bring gloves?” “I just got my nails done. And the dirt under my fingernails would freak me out,” she replied. With a nod you go to the trunk finding the gloves and spreading out the tarp. “The guy working was really cute, he told me the best place in the patch was the fourth row.” “Thank you cute patch man,” you joke.

Walking along the rows you see a few small ones you wanted to get for the house and then saw the perfect pumpkin. No warts, curly vines, deep orange color. You go to call over your friend but when you turn around a man is trying to lift it up. “Hey freeze!” “Did you just tell me to freeze?” He asks. “That’s my pumpkin.” “Then why is it in my hands?” “Im wondering the same thing.” “And while you figure that out I’m going to my car,” he retorts. “No way I saw this one first he’s mine.” “It’s just a pumpkin. There’s like a hundred more just like it.” “No this is the best one by far. But since you think there are other good one I’ll just take this one off your hands.” You reach for it but he pulls it from your grasp quickly. His eyes widen in disbelief. “You did not just try to steal my pumpkin?” “Please, I’ll give you,” you go to dig in your purse but came up empty. Only a Dave and Busters power card, three mints, and a nickel. Your surprised expression makes him giggle. “I don’t want your money. But since you want it so bad I’ll give it to you, for a price.” “I literally only have mints and a nickel in here so it’s not much of a prize.” You didn’t want him to know about the power card, you were an avid D&B patron. “You have to help me find one that is just as good.” “Okay deal,” you go to shake his hand but he lifts the pumpkin and you just pat it instead. “Onwards- what’s your name?” “Matthew.” “Onwards Matthew!”
