Jealousy (Matt x Reader)

Requested by: @Tea

With a start, you opened your eyes and popped up from where you lay in bed. Immediately, you were aware of the red-headed gamer that stood over you, an unlit cigarette in his mouth. Your bleary eyes searched for the light of your digital clock.

"It's midnight. What do you want?!" you exclaimed, immediately regretting giving him a key to your apartment. With a sigh, you curled into a ball on the mattress.

"Get up and ready. We need to go."

"I don't care. Let me go to sleep!" You rolled over, and he chuckled in response. He moved to the other side of the bed, moving your (y/c) bangs out of your face. "Matt..." You grabbed hold of your pillow and smacked it against his cheek. "Five more minutes..."

"You can sleep in the car. Come on! You don't want others to get the game before us? Think about all of the hours that we could spend playing it!" Matt smiled slightly as you groaned and propped yourself up on your elbow. "There you go! You can sleep in the car, and I brought a tent for us if you want to go to that extreme. I also picked up some coffee for the trip there!"

"I hate you..." you murmured as Matt laughed.

"Just another name to put on the list of people that I need to watch out for!" Matt left your room, leaving you to your devices.

You got up from your bed, making it up and sleepily trudging over to the bathroom to brush your teeth and comb out your tangled mess of (y/c) hair. As soon as you were done with that, you rifled through your closet, pulling out a pair of jeans and a hoodie to slip into. Putting on matching sneakers, you joined Matt in the kitchen. Grabbing your phone from the counter, you raised your (y/c) eyes to find him grinning at you.

"What?" you asked, tilting your head to the side.

"You look gorgeous!" Matt chuckled at your soft blush as you moved to smack him on the shoulder. "What? It was the truth! Try not to hit me so hard next time. You're going to bruise my ego!" He reached over to give you a cup of coffee.

"Thank you~" You sleepily smiled and grabbed it out of his hands.

"Am I forgiven for giving you a compliment?" Matt asked, ushering you out of the door and locking it behind himself.

"I guess..." you begrudgingly answered as Matt opened up your door for you and helped you inside. As soon as he was seated, he glanced over at you.

"Lean your seat back if you want some rest..." Matt offered, starting to pull out from the driveway. You followed his suggestion and closed your eyes, drifting off to sleep. A while later, a certain bump on the road woke you up from your slumber. Opening your eyes, you looked over at Matt, whose lips were pulled down in concentration. You suddenly became aware of your intertwined hands, his thumb tracing the back of your hand.

"You up?" he asked under his breath as he turned the car around a corner.

"Mm-hmm..." you mumbled, your eyes looking over at the dashboard. In the dark of the night, it read that it was currently three in the morning.

"Still tired, huh?" He laughed as you rubbed at your eyes with your free hand. "We'll be getting there in a few hours, and I can set up the tent as I said earlier."

As Matt's car was resting by a stoplight, he turned around to grab his jacket and wrapped it around your shoulders. It had only just become apparent to you how cold the morning air was.

"Thank you..." you smiled as Matt pushed your hair behind your ear before turning his attention back to the road.

"Don't mention it!"
