When Matteo was growing up, he didn’t really feel like he fit in with his peers. The boys, Jonas, Abdi and Carlos were all getting into girls. Talking about girls, talking to girls… girls, girls, girls. Matteo couldn’t deal with it. He tried to act like he was interested, like he cared about it. He didn’t though, not at all. He was more into the idea of hanging out with the boys, going on late night trips to the old playground where they could just play around, drink some cheap beer and smoke some cigarettes and blast music that made them feel something.

*This is about a young boy growing up with a vulnerable heart and a whole lot of love to give but no one to give it to.

sorry this was late as hell. special thanks to this soulmate au idea

warning: mentions of suicide

Matteo didn’t know what he was expecting.

He’d heard his whole life of this magical day where, when the clock struck midnight on his 18th birthday, his world would freeze and only he and his soulmate would be unfrozen, free to spend their day together and unbothered.  Of course, everyone else would go on with their day.  It was like the universe would put you and that special someone on a whole new plane of existence.

However, no one really talked about what happened if you didn’t know your soulmate at 18 or couldn’t find them during that day.  He’d searched on it for weeks leading up to the day, reading forum after forum of horror stories.  He’d read more than one on clinically depressed people who spiraled, 24 hours of being absolutely alone with their own head being far too much.  Or anxious people who panicked until they couldn’t take it.  He even read a few who had attempted suicide.  Matteo was hoping he wouldn’t end up in that state of mind.

Still, as he looked around the party that Jonas had thrown and invited the whole school to, he desperately wanted to see someone as unfrozen as he was.  A lonely, pathetic part of him looked to Jonas, hoping he’d be moving.  But he wasn’t, he was frozen with a giant ass smile on face while looking straight at Hanna.  Of course.

“Anyone else unfrozen in here?” Matteo called, a last-ditch attempt at seeing if his soulmate was here.  He wasn’t.

A sigh pushed out of his chest, glancing around as he pushed himself towards the kitchen.  He really started understanding how people could feel so overwhelmed and paranoid by this.  It was disturbing, something out of a horror movie where everyone was so fucking far away from him and he couldn’t do anything about it.  He was alone.

He hoped whoever his soulmate is was coping with it.

Matteo moved sluggishly as he got a cup of water and made his way to his bedroom. He really just wanted to sleep the day away. Maybe if he slept long enough, he could wake up and everyone would be unfrozen again.

So he went to bed.

-

Matteo woke to the sun rudely shining in through the window. With a groan, he reached for his phone to see it wasn’t even noon yet.  He groaned louder.  He continued to lay there for a moment, hoping to will himself to sleep again so he won’t have to spend the day with everyone completely frozen.

It was one thing to isolate yourself. It was another to be forced into it.

However, he could only take so much before he got too hungry.  So, he had to get up.  He didn’t bother getting dressed outside of adding a pair of sweats and a jacket and he didn’t bother staying inside either. He didn’t like staring at all the frozen people, but, since they froze at midnight, there shouldn’t be many people on the street.

It was the quietest Berlin had ever been and Matteo hated it. He usually loved the quiet, but it was too quiet. Overwhelmingly quiet.  Which was really fucking annoying.

Still, he made it to his favorite 24-hour sandwich shop and walked right in.  There wasn’t actually anyone there except an employee who was frozen in the back, so he let himself behind the counter.  He crafted a sandwich as best he could and left the money on the counter.  He didn’t know exactly how this worked if they’d even notice anything was gone or if they’d get any money, but it subdued his conscious and that’s really all he cared about.  Well, that and actually eating.

“What’s cookin’ good lookin’?”

Matteo froze, his eyes casting up with his sandwich partially hanging out of his mouth. In the doorway stood a guy who was staring him down with fuck-me eyes paired with a little smirk on his lips.  If this was his soulmate, and that’s what appeared to be the case, Matteo couldn’t say the universe did him dirty.  The guy was fucking hot.  Coffee colored skin, septum piercing, stunning… everything.

Everything seemed to slow down. He was way too perfect.  Mind-numbing, mouth-watering, body-aching type of perfect.

Then he bit his lip and his face slowly broke out into a wild grin, his entire face beaming. Matteo nearly fainted right then and there. Who the hell was allowed to go from that hot to that cute that fast?  And why the hell were they his?

“Sorry, sorry, that was bad. In my defense, I thought I had some time to come up with a better pick-up line. Go figure that you’re older than me,” he said, stepping further into the shop. Matteo was frozen as he watched him.

This was fucking insane. How was someone that looked like him supposed to be Matteo’s soulmate? That didn’t make any sense.

The guy was still grinning as he leaned on the counter across from him, “I know you’re not frozen.”

Suddenly, Matteo remembered how to blink.

“Sorry, sorry,” Matteo said, swallowing the bite he’d taken and wiping his mouth. Maybe he should’ve actually tried to look nice.  “Uh, hi.”

“Hi,” the guy chuckled, “I’m David.”

“Matteo.”

“Matteo,” David repeated, seeming to roll his name in his mouth and Matteo felt chills down his spine, “Nice to meet you.”

“You too,” Matteo murmured, taking him in once more before holding out his sandwich to him. David grinned but shook his head.

“I’m good, thank you.”

“So, uh, not to sound rude, but how did you find me? I mean, literally could’ve been anywhere,” Matteo pointed out. David shrugged his shoulders.

“I figured I should go to places I would go and hope for the best,” David explained, “I got lucky.”

Matteo gulped, “Yeah.”

“I just moved here too, so,” he paused, looking him very obviously up and down in a way that made Matteo’s stomach tighten, “Really lucky.”

They fell into a small vat of silence, staring at each other without any sense of shame as Matteo finished his food.  He could get used to this. David wasn’t overwhelming, he was just a calming presence that was apparently all his. He’d known that your soulmate was supposed to be calming, but Matteo hadn’t realized he would actually be getting one.  Well, he knew, but he didn’t know know. It didn’t feel real.

With David staring at him, it still didn’t.

“Wanna hang out?” Matteo managed to ask after he finished.  David blinked so slow Matteo wondered if he was fantasizing without realizing.

“That’s what we’re supposed to do, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, but if, if you don’t want then‒” Matteo stopped himself, taking a deep breath. Jonas had told him that he just had to be smooth and the girl that the universe chose for him would fall for him immediately. Of course, Jonas was missing the giant ‘queer’ sign that hung over his head. Still, he had a point. Matteo dug in his pocket. “Fancy a joint?”

David glanced him up and down, “Yeah, sure.”

Matteo gave a grin, tucking the joint behind his ear and led the way outside. They leaned against the outside of the shop and the moment he lit up, he could feel the tension slip away. No more making a fool of himself in front of his soulmate.

His soulmate.

“So, what brings you here this close to the end of the school year?” Matteo asked.  David raised an eyebrow.

“Why?”

“You’re my soulmate apparently,” It was the first time either of them had said it out loud. Yeah, still insane. “Probably should get to know you.”

“Mm, maybe,” David said, tilting his head back against the wall. He brought the joint to his lips and suddenly became the cover of a magazine.

“You not gonna tell me?”

David turned his head to face him, “Killed someone. Had to go into hiding.

Matteo grinned helplessly, “Brutal.”

“I know.”

David was easy to talk to. That was obviously a good thing since they were soulmates. This was his person.  And his person was witty, hot, nice, and so much more that he would get to learn over a lifetime. He was so lucky.

“Wanna go see a movie?  I may or may not know how to work shit at a theatre,” David said, scrunching up his nose just a little bit when he gave that wide, wide smile.

“Let’s go.”

Within twenty minutes, Matteo found himself in a theatre alone with David and a movie he’d never heard of. He didn’t mind. Nor did he even really watch it.  He spent two hours with his head thrown back, staring at David and memorizing his face.

In that time spent memorizing, he also was faced with the reality that he didn’t really have a choice but to come out now.  His soulmate was a man‒and it definitely did not feel like a platonic soulmate‒and he wouldn’t be able to hide that for long.  Maybe he could lie for a while, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to.

Maybe he wouldn’t have to even really come out. Maybe he could just introduce David as his soulmate and let everyone form their own opinion. He didn’t want to have to tell everyone, that just seemed so unnecessary. It’s his thing. He didn’t want to announce it to the world. He just wanted to say “this is David, he’s my soulmate” and have people roll with it.

Once the movie rolled to an end, they got back to talking.  He found out David was an artist, that he liked to dance, that he loved movies. Matteo couldn’t think of anything interesting about himself to share.

“So basically you’re super fucking interesting and I’m a boring ass, let down soulmate, okay,” Matteo said, laughing slightly. David rolled his eyes, shifting to face Matteo even more.

“No, you’re not boring, you’re… quiet and you’re funny. You… you’re a lot of things, I don’t know, I don’t think you’re a letdown,” David said. Oh yeah, he definitely got lucky in the soulmate department.

“Did you have anyone in mind of who your soulmate might’ve been?” Matteo bothered to ask. As much as he enjoyed hearing David say that he wasn’t a letdown, he also wasn’t one to enjoy being showered in compliments. That was enough to reassure him that David actually liked him.

“No, not really. Did you?” David asked. Silence fell over them once again as Matteo debated telling him about Jonas.  It felt like something stupid to admit since Jonas wasn’t really an option, he was more of a stupid hope.  However, this was his soulmate and what was the point of lying?

“Uh, kinda. My best friend,” Matteo admitted, looking down, “But I didn’t know if it’d be a platonic soulmate or not, I didn’t know what I was going to have.”

“I thought I was going to have a platonic soulmate,” David admitted.  Matteo furrowed his eyebrows as he looked up to him again.

“Why?”

“I don’t know, just didn’t think I’d ever have someone made for me, like, romantically. Thought I’d have to struggle to find that myself.”

“Well, what if we are platonic soulmates?” Matteo suggested though he hoped that wasn’t true. How awkward would it be to be attracted to you universe-decided best friend for life?

“I mean… Not to be rude, but I really hope not,” David said. His cheeks were tinted red and Matteo could feel his own matching it. “Do you?  Want us to be platonic?”

“No.”

“Good.”

What is the acceptable amount of time knowing someone before you kiss them?

There was something a lot more peaceful about the world being frozen when you weren’t alone anymore. He had someone to talk to, to joke with, to have dinner with, to walk around Berlin with and not have anyone interrupt them. It was like a getaway without all the bullshit that involved physically getting away. It was simple and easy and he wouldn’t have wanted to spend his day with anyone else aside from David.

As they headed back to Matteo’s place at nearly 10 at night, he was sold. The universe had given him the best gift. Part of him was even a little eager to introduce him to everyone. Just, eventually.  He wanted to keep him to himself for a little longer, to get to know him a little better.

“Holy shit, there’s a million fucking people here,” David said, huffing a laugh as he weaved through the people in Matteo’s apartment.

“Yeah, but my friend’s thought it was a good idea to invite everyone in the school so the girl of my dreams would be there to freeze with me,” Matteo feigned a wistful tone, grinning at David who snorted.

“They think you’re straight?”

“Yeah.”

“How? You’d set off anyone’s gaydar from a million miles away,” David joked, giggling even more when Matteo shoved him.  They were both smiling as he led him to his room.

“Welcome to me,” Matteo sighed, throwing his arms out and collapsing on his bed.

For the third time since he met David, the universe seemed to slow down as he watched him. David walked around the room, aimlessly touching things as he absorbed the space. Matteo hated having pretty much anyone in his space.

He liked David being there.

He liked it more when David fell to the bed beside him.

“You wanna stay the night?”

“Sure.”

Life got a little better when David changed into his clothes.

“I’m kind of going to miss the silence once the world wakes up,” Matteo admitted as David crawled under the blanket beside him, “I like being here with you.”

“I’ll still be here.”

Matteo smiled, “You got a point.”

David scooted closer, tucking his hand beneath his head. It was stupid, but it felt like they’d known each other forever. Everything was so ridiculously comfortable. He’d heard how great it was for soulmates, how everything made more sense.  He hadn’t expected it to feel this good.

He couldn’t wait until David’s 18th birthday so they could do this again.

Matteo reached out, his hand resting against David’s arm and tracing nonsensical shapes against his skin. In less than an hour, life would resume.  He wanted just this. He wanted just now.

“So,” David suddenly said, his eyes anywhere but Matteo’s, “There’s something I should probably tell you.”

“Okay.”

“I… I thought I had more time, honestly, and I’ve been thinking all day about when I should tell you.  But you’re my soulmate and I figure starting this whole thing with keeping secrets is probably a bad idea,” David said. Matteo’s eyebrows slowly pulled together in concern.

“What’s up?”

“I mean, I, I have like a rough draft of how I should tell my soulmate typed up on my phone if you wanted me to send it to you, or, like, let you read it. I could read it to you,” David offered, still not looking at him. Matteo thought about taking his hand off him.  Instead, he moved it to grab David’s nervous hand.

“Just say it.”

With a heavy breath, David said, “I’m trans.”

“Okay,” Matteo said, still staring at him. David finally, finally looked at him again.

“Is that okay?” he asked, a mix of confusion and hesitation scattered all over his face.

“Yeah,” Matteo agreed. He paused for a beat. “What does that mean exactly?”

David’s eyebrows instantly pulled together and he searched Matteo’s face a handful of times before breaking out into a wild smile.  Laughter was bubbling out of him as he asked, “You just said you were okay with it without even knowing what it means?”

“Yeah,” Matteo said. Even though he was still pretty confused, David’s smile was contagious and he gave one right back. “I mean, you’re my soulmate, you know? You’re literally specially crafted for me, so I’d eventually be okay with whatever you are. Why should waste time and energy?”

“You are insane,” David said, shaking his head, “But thank you.”

“What exactly does it mean, like, for you?”

“I, uh, it means…” David paused again, looking at him and then looking away. He eventually made eye contact. Matteo added brave to the list of things he learned about him. “I was born in the body of a girl.”

Matteo nodded slowly, “Okay. So that means you’re a‒”

“Boy. I’m a boy,” David said simply, “I just have to try a little harder.”

“Sounds like work,” Matteo said, scooting a little closer. David smiled at him, an easy little smile.

“Yeah, you could say that,” David hummed, “You really don’t mind?”

“I mean, I don’t fully understand all the mechanics of it, but if it’s who you are, then who am I to do anything but accept it and appreciate you not being a dick for me not knowing,” Matteo said, again scooting closer. David pulled him into a hug, wrapping him up in his arms all nice and tight and secure.

“I’ll answer any questions you have,” David said. Matteo shut his eyes.

“Tomorrow?”

“Absolutely.”

They fell silent all over again and Matteo found solace in the fact that the only sounds he heard were David’s breathing and his heart beating.  It was better than any pillow he could’ve ever been given.

He had spent years fearing the prospect of a soulmate and he had spent the last few months worrying that he wouldn’t find him and that he’d go insane from loneliness. From what David had said, it sounded like he hadn’t expected much either.  Instead, he got to spend most of his day with this guy who he would get to spend forever with and it was so fucking easy.

This wasn’t scary. This was safe. He prayed that David felt the same way. He had to assume he did.

Eventually, Matteo felt himself drifting off and he couldn’t really have chosen a better place to do so than in David’s arms.  The last thing he heard before time unfroze and they were given back to reality was David’s voice.

“Happy birthday, Matteo.”

[skam-screaming]

Summary:

What if it all went differently? What if David was never outed, never needed to run? What if, in the bottom of an abandoned pool, the roles were switched, and the savior became the one who needed saving?

When Matteo spirals, he finds himself back at the pool. Luckily David finds him too.

---------

It’s up! After 3 years of sitting with it, I’ve finally posted my pool scene. This was the part I wanted to see on screen from the moment Matteo appeared in season 3. I may post some other scenes from the larger fic (because I’m actually really proud of some of the stuff I wrote) but this stands well on its own and I’m really glad that at least some people can read it now

“Matteo?” David’s voice was muffled through the door, pulling Matteo out of a restless sleep to a barely conscious state of consciousness. He blinks slowly, lifting a hand to rub over his eyes and turns his head to face the door. David stands in the doorway, a fast food bag in his left hand and the largest size drink in his right. He wrinkles his nose at the sight of Matteo and the unpleasant smell greeting him. It smelt exactly like you’d expect; a depressed boy who hadn’t showered in ages mixed with spoiled food and the general untidiness of his room. David stepped over piles of dropped laundry, careful not to step on the cups that loitered all over the floor or any of the garbage. David wasn’t sure how Matteo could produce so much garbage in the days that he’d be left alone? He barely left his bed and yet, his room looked like a scene out of a horror film.

David waved his hand in front of Matteo’s face before he moved to press his palm against Matteo’s flamed cheek. Matteo caught his gaze and stared intently at the swirling dark irises of brown and he knew that he was digging himself a grave that he did not need to lie in. Matteo let David pull him down and they settled back into the same position as before; Matteo curled into David’s side, his head resting against the curve of David’s armpit with David’s arm wrapped around him tightly. There was a slight difference and that was David’s phone in his free hand and Matteo’s on David’s chest. Matteo hadn’t realized his phone had been moved from the night table but he knew that David was swift like that.

I love you.

The text popped up on Matteo’s screen and he couldn’t help but to smile. Even when he had his blips of moments where he was worried that David would grow tired of him, he always proved to Matteo that he didn’t tire easily.

Don’t you think you’re overreacting, bro?” Jonas’ sharp inhale was the first thing that Matteo heard but David’s scoff of offense followed shortly after. He moved to lean closer to Matteo, coming in view of the camera and softening the tension between the headphone wire and Matteo put down the controller, giving David the most innocent expression he could muster up completely. He kept his blue eyes wide, pale lips curled in a slight frown. He knew David’s weaknesses and this was one of them. Although, judging by his boyfriend’s expression, he wasn’t doing a good job.

"Let me grab my hearing—" Matteo started, beginning to pull himself off of David but was cut off by David tightening his grip around his waist. David pulled Matteo back flush against his chest, shaking his head. Matteo maneuvered himself to look at David with a confused expression, head tilted ever so slightly. “I just want to be able to talk to you.”

David pressed the tip of his finger against Matteo’s button nose, shaking his head again. Matteo narrowed his eyes as he tried to read David’s facial and body expressions for clues as to what David was trying to say.

His boyfriend was sprawled out beneath him, an arm wrapped tightly around his waist and a finger from his free hand pressed against his nose. His face was relaxed, eyes swarming with the same love that Matteo felt exploding within his chest but the eyebags beneath them told Matteo that they were both feeling exhausted. Then it clicked.

“You just want to be with me.”

“You, not who you pretend to be.”

In hindsight, marching down the stairs to yell at a stranger wasn’t David’s brightest idea, but after listening to the shittiest rap music ever invented for four nights in a row even the strongest man would snap. A penpal, fish slippers, a box full of eclairs and many, many butterflies? Weirdly enough, it all connected to the same unlucky feat.

End notes (I wanted to put these here on Tumblr too since they have something I really needed to say :) Find them under the cut <3)

After months in the making, this fic finally saw the day of light as the longest individual writing project I've had! It truly was a journey and I'm deeply grateful for everyone involved: for the people hyping up the story when when I posted snippets along the way, for my ever-so-lovely proofreader and personal cheerleader @mynameisnotthepoint , for my new laptop that made finishing the story significantly easier, and for you, my reader, for taking the time to dive into this little story with me!

While writing this was a lot of fun, it was also very sticky and difficult at times. The more I thought about it the more I came to realize that as much as DRUCK and these characters will always have a place in my heart, I've come to a point where I've already moved on to new fictional worlds and interests. That is why this will be my last fic for this fandom.

The warmest of hugs to everyone who's read and supported my DRUCK fics over the year or so! I won't stop writing, that's for sure, but what will write? That's to be seen.

Never say never, but for now, it's time for me to close this chapter. Thank you, it's been such a joy <3

[shhhhyoursister]

not me writing something for the first time in what feels like a year

another dumb idea from me sorry yall but it seems like my specialty is dumb short fics about the boy squad

..............

“Babe, can you pass my beer?”

What was intended as a simple request, David asking Matteo a casual question while hanging with the boys, turned into a disaster that David could not have foreseen.

He realized his mistake when he heard a snort, just as his beer bottle was pushed into his hand. Instead of turning to thank Matteo, his head whipped in the direction of the sound; Carlos. He narrowed his eyes, and Carlos just shrugged, an exchange that didn’t seem too extraordinary. But David knew better. He warily let himself focus back into the conversation once Carlos did.

It was a few minutes later when there was a lull, that Carlos turned to David again. There was a smile on his face, one that David knew too well, but before he could say anything Carlos was turning toward Jonas.

“Hey, babe,” he said, grinning almost manically, “can I borrow your charger?”

Jonas looked amused but held his composure better than Abdi, who giggled before slapping a hand over his mouth. Jonas unplugged his charger from the wall and turned to wink at David before replying, “Of course, babe.”

And so it began.

At first it annoyed David. Whenever the boys would make the joke, would casually refer to another in the group as “babe” or with some other term of endearment, David would roll his eyes and huff. He didn’t understand why Matteo had almost no reaction to it, aside from a slight shake of his head or laugh of his own.

He should have known, though, that Matteo was a secret genius. They were in bed one night when it came up, and when David again huffed at the stupidity of their friends, Matteo shook his head.

“Don’t worry,” he said, a knowing smile on his face, “they’re either going to forget in a week or fuck themselves over and never be able to stop.”

David didnt believe him at first. He always had a comeback ready on the tip of his tongue but he was getting tired of the the joke after a while, and continued to be until he realized that Matteo was right.

It had stopped being a joke.

Soon, what was usually an exaggerated “Hey sweetheart, can you give me the remote?” and “Carlos, honey, stop being such a fucking idiot,” turned into the much more genuine, “Dear, what do you want on your pizza?” and “Fuck, babe, pass me the ball!”

David and Matteo watched with a silent joy as the boys started talking to each other more affectionately than they did. They would catch each other’s eyes whenever they heard it, share one of those looks that can only pass between couples that says exactly what’s on their minds. They waited, mentally preparing to strike.

The time came weeks later, when the origins of the joke had completely faded and the boy squad just sounded like the sweetest group of friends around. They were just finishing up a half-assed game of basketball when Abdi yelled out to Carlos, “Hey babe, when did we say we’d meet the girls?”

David looked at Matteo who was staring right back at him, small mischievous smile on his face. He nodded.

“Yeah, babe,” David called out to Matteo before Carlos could answer, exaggerating the word even more than Carlos had originally, “were we going to go with them?”

“I don’t know, sweetheart, what were you thinking?” Matteo replied, his eyes sparkling.

The three others looked confused. Matteo broke first, laughing so hard he was hunched over desperately trying to get air into his lungs, and David was observing the whole scene with long-awaited glee on his face.

“What the fuck’s so funny?” Abdi asked finally, prompting David to start giggling too, and he slapped a hand over his mouth.

“You guys tried so hard to make fun of us,” Matteo said, then stopped to laugh again, “but now you sound gayer than we do!”

David chuckled as he watched it start to click. Jonas got it first, then Carlos, then Abdi, and the three stared around at each other in shock. After a minute, Carlos was the first one to speak.

“Fuck you guys,” he said, and turned to walk away.

“Yeah I’m gonna leave too, assholes.” Jonas huffed, ruffling Matteo’s hair as he passed and punching David in the shoulder. He seemed the least upset about the situation.

“Yeah, I’m right behind you babe!” Abdi yelled as he ran after them, loudly correcting himself with, “fuck, I mean Jonas!”

Summary: david bathing a sick matteo

David never thought he’d be comfortable enough to do what he was doing.

Yet, here he was, naked in a bathtub with a debatably conscious Matteo sitting between his legs and laying against his chest.  He was anxious when they’d stripped down and it had grown more and more whenever Matteo stayed dead silent, however, it had almost all slipped away when he cuddled up close without a second thought.

It definitely helped that Matteo was sick out of his mind.  After seeing him sick for three days straight, David decided he would never call a healthy Matteo lazy ever again. He’d never seen someone who was able to literally not move for three days.  Every time he left and returned, Matteo would be in the exact same spot in the exact same position.  But David was still doing his best to take care of him, making sure he was eating something and making sure he at least rolled over every 6 hours.

Three days in the same hoodie and sweats, however, was starting to make its statement and Matteo was beginning to smell like sweat with the faintest tinge of the vomit that hadn’t appeared since the first day. David was absolutely able to take a little bit of it, but he knew Matteo wasn’t bathing and it was becoming hard to bear.  So, after two hours of convincing and compromising, he managed to get Matteo in the bath.  As much as he loved him, David had already begun fantasizing about the shower he’d take afterward to wash off all of Matteo’s must.

But, for right now, he was content.  David cupped water in his hand and let it slide down Matteo’s chest and back.  It was a slow way to get him clean, but it was as efficient as it would get.  Matteo had no objections, he merely seemed to melt further into the water with each touch.  

Mindlessly, David pushed his hands through Matteo’s hair until it was all completely damp.  Then he grabbed the bottle of shampoo from the ledge of the tub, squeezing a little into his hand before slowly beginning to work it into Matteo’s hair.  For probably the first time in three days, Matteo looked up at him.  His lips were parted as he stared, seeming borderline drunk.  His blue eyes were cloudy with tears that threatened to spill, but it never seemed to stop his staring.

“You okay?” David whispered, kissing below Matteo’s ear.  Matteo nodded slightly and closed his eyes once more, letting David massage his scalp.  David was slightly convinced this was the best his hair had been washed in a year.

David used his wet hand to comb the soap from Matteo’s hair, pressing soft kisses to Matteo’s neck and shoulder when his head lulled to the side.  Matteo moaned low in his throat, his chest vibrating carefully with the noise.  David smiled and let his hands slide down Matteo’s body before reaching for the washcloth on the ledge.

“What are you doing?” Matteo asked hoarsely, a loose little smirk finding his face.

“Getting you clean,” David whispered, lathering soap into the washcloth and rubbing it against Matteo’s body.

“Mm, that’s it?”

“Absolutely.”

“Your intention is becoming blurry.” Matteo murmured.  David smiled.  This was the most he’d spoken in days and it was a really fucking good sound.  He slid the washcloth over his neck.

“You’re sick, I’m not doing anything.” David insisted.  Matteo hummed, rendering himself quiet again.  Water replaced the suds as David went back to cupping water and letting it fall over Matteo’s body.

When that was over, they sat there for a little while longer.  David continued playing with his hair, raking it back and smiling as it effortlessly stood up in a million different directions.  He closed his eyes and let himself embrace Matteo’s body on his.  He had fully expected this to do nothing if not make him feel self-conscious, but instead, he felt a little more in love with Matteo than he had before. It was almost overwhelming and he didn’t really understand what made it happen. He was just so…

David dragged his finger out of the water and up Matteo’s chest.  Matteo’s breath gets heavier and his cheeks turn red as David’s finger pressed against his jaw to turn his head to face him.  He nudged Matteo’s nose with his own before giving him a closed mouth kiss.  A handful of kisses were shared before Matteo just melted back into his chest.

“I don’t wanna get you sick.  I’m not good at babying.”

“You’re good at being babied.”

“No one’s ever babied me before,” Matteo admitted. David continued playing with strands of his hair.

“You mean to tell me every other time you’ve gotten sick, everyone just lets you lay in the same spot without eating for days?” David asked.  Matteo didn’t respond, just letting his eyes close.  David let out a small sighed and wrapped his arms around Matteo’s chest.

They stayed there until the water got cold.

David pulled Matteo out of the water and draped a towel around his shoulders, holding it closed at his chest.  He quickly dried himself off and got dressed before returning his attention back to Matteo who seemed to be falling asleep standing up.  David smiled effortlessly, drying him off and leaving a kiss here and there.  He helped Matteo pull on his boxers and his shirt, finishing it off with a loving kiss to the lips.

“I love babying you,” David whispered, holding his cheeks in his hand.  Matteo grabbed his wrists.

“I love you,” Matteo responded, leaning his head against his boyfriend’s.  David felt his cheeks heat up.  “I feel better.”

“You wanna go back to bed?” David wondered.  Matteo immediately nodded, earning a wide smile and a soft laugh.  It didn’t take long to find their way back to bed.

David pulled Matteo close once they laid down, cradling him against his chest just like he liked.  Everything in the world felt calm and he was endlessly thankful.  Even if that meant babying his lazy ass boyfriend for the rest of his life.

“I love you too.”

Ok it’s been long enough that I feel like I can pretty safely say I’m never gonna finish my damn druck s3 rewrite fic.

So if I posted just my o helga natt scene, which was the thing I originally wanted to write and the part I’m most proud of, would you guys read it? It doesn’t have any context really for the rest of the story, and I might tack on the bit that came directly before it if I review it and like it enough, but I mostly just want to know if anyone would still be interested in a Matteo centered pool scene
