Gay Panic part 2 (Gus x Matt)

Matts POV (abuse and language warring)

I run out of the classroom, stupid, stupid why did I do it. I slow my pace and run into the bathrooms I pull on my hair why didn't I give him an answer "Ugh!!!" I sigh and punch the bathroom stall. I sit against the wall, do I like Augustus? yes I do can I date him? no I cant. for his own safe and mine I

don't need the one person I like to get hurt. a few days ago..."get out of this house!!!!" my dad yells to my mom before stomping upstairs to my room "Matt!!" my drunken father yells he slams open my door "get your ass down stairs now!!!" he yells I do as he says, me and my brother stand in the living room

"your both a disgrace, your both as weak as your mother!" starting with my brother he yelled and physically hurt him, moving on to me he hit me in the eye and called me slurs as well as a few other thing. Me and my brother hid in my closet that night so that he couldn't hurt us my mother left early that

morning and never came back. I feel tears reach the edge of my eyes I wipe them away as quickly as they appear. I decide to find somewhere else to sleep tonight, my brother has been staying at his girlfriends house and I we I've been stuck at the house. I sigh and call the human she may hate me and

I hate her but Gus is upset and I don't know who else to ask. I call her number "Luz Noceda, who is this?" I sigh "Its Matt I know you probably hate me but could I spend the night at the owl house?" I wait for a responds "fine, but only if you'll tell me why you ran from Gus" I sigh "fine" I hang up and

start to walk to the owl house. once I arrive Luz takes me to a spare room in the house to talk, "talk boy" she says sternly. I tell her about my Dad and brother and about the past few days "....I really like Gus he's sweet and kind and handsome....." I start to trail off I feel my cheeks get red I shake my head

"but I cant go out with him, I don't want him to get hurt" I say. Luz nods thinking about what I just said "well, Matt I would suggest you tell him" I shake my head "no then he will never want to date me" I say Luz smiles "Matt, Gus really likes you, and I know for a fact nothing is going to keep him

from liking you" I sigh "you might be right hu-Luz" I say correcting myself. she smiles "good now tomorrow you me and my girlfriends are going over to his house, I'm going to drop you off and me

and Amity are going to go on our date, you had better have Gus fixed by the time I get back and we can deal with your parents later for the time being you can stay here"

Fast forward to Gus's house (small spice warring)

I take a deep breath, I knock on the door the two girls standing off to the side. Gus opens the door and frowns "what do you want?" he says in a cold tone that made me sad before I could say anything Luz told him to here me out. Gus nodded and let me inside while the girls left, we sat on the couch

and I explained everything in detail his eyes got wider and wider as I spoke. "....so that's why I ran out, I don't want you to get hurt and to be honest I really like you" I say blush rising on my face. Gus smiled "you know your really cute when you blush" he says making me blush harder. I look down at

the ground until I feel a finger under my chin, he moved my face to meet his he looked at me his eyes sparked "may I?" he says looking at my lips I nod. he leans in and I feel his lips touch mine it was as light as a cloud I started to kiss back placing my hands on his waist pulling his close the short kiss

turned into a long passionate one until we both break from lack of air. both our faces were red we sat in silence for a minute "wow" was all that came out of my mouth. after an hour we ordered pizza and laid on the couch watching a movie. I look up at Gus thinking how could I have been so lucky....
