Healing

(song is for a moment later in the chapter ;) it's cute trust me)

After the sob fest in the rain, Matt brought you into his apartment. It was almost exactly the same as when you left, only messier and smelt thickly of Matt, and...maybe something rotten.

Empty pizza boxes laying in a pile on the couch, empty cans and soft drink bottles could be seen almost everywhere. Empty chip packets and dirty dishes shoved into shelves and stacked up on the dining table and kitchen bench. Dust covering most everything else rather thickly. "Sorry, about the mess. I haven't been in my right mind. Since that day."

"It's okay, you should see my room" you brushed off the state of the place, like you said your room was rather similar. You shivered and clung to Matt sniffling. You were both dripping wet and cold.

"Oh right, come I'll run you a bath" Matt said rather gently, walking you to the bathroom, he pulled a towel out of the linen cupboard and gave it a whiff. Seemingly satisfied with the towels cleanliness he hung it on the rail.

He bent to turn the taps on in the bath. He rinsed the bath before putting in the plug. He hadn't had a bath for a while so it had gathered dust. He opened the surprisingly clean shower and grabbed the body soap, adding a couple pumps into the bath. Nothing fancy but the smell of roses, pretty girly of him, filled your nostrils relaxing you.

Without waiting for Matt to leave you desperately peeled off your clothes and stepped into the still filling tub. Matt's eyes widened, taking in your appearance briefly, your curves had filled out since he last saw you naked, but when he realised he was staring  he averted his gaze.

"Oh dear, sorry love. Right I'll be off then" Matt muttered flustered at the sight of you. He straightened his back, to leave. But you stopped him by grabbing his sleeve. "Please stay, I mean, your wet too. At least use the shower, though I wouldn't mind if you joined me" You blushed avoiding his gaze.

Matt swallowed, not sure what to say. So he pulled off his clothes and put his ear piece on the vanity. You allowed your eyes to linger on him, commiting his damp and solid body to your memory.

You felt heat prickle your cheeks and sunk a little lower into the tub, as the hot water got deeper with each passing second. The pleasant smell lulling you into relaxation.

You pulled your knees up and Matt turned off the tap, climbing into the tub opposite you. He let out a sigh of relief at the feeling of the warm water and smiled at you. A brilliant smile that warmed your heart.

You found yourself smiling back and Matt turned you so your back was facing him. Grabbing a pale lilac coloured bar of soap he lathered it in his hands and began washing your back. His rough slender hands worked your neck and shoulders, releasing the tension. The subtle scent of lavender filled you up and you couldn't help but giggle.

"What? What's so funny? Am I doing this wrong?" Matt leaned to the side and you too turned slightly to meet his gaze. His eyebrows were raised.

"No, no. It's just, flowers? It's very girly of you. It's cute"

"I just like how they smell. And lavender oil can be very calming you know!" His cheeks tinted with pink indignantly, but his hands continued to  warm your back and arms. Rubbing his smooth hands over them.

"I know! I'm not judging it's just unexpected. I like it" you breathed leaning into his chest.

Matt felt his face heat up once again at the feeling of your warm smooth body pressed against his and a pang in his chest compelled him to wrap his arms around your waist and bury his face in your neck.

You both stayed like this for awhile before Matt decided you both should hop out. You climbed out first passing Matt a towel wrapping it around his shoulders, you gave them a rub in a sort of comforting gesture before grabbing your own towel.
