another morning with you -matt-

[Deleted]

Everett stumbling in at odd hours was not an unusual routine by this point in his life. "Matt, are you awake?" Everett called out as he let himself into the apartment. He fully expected for Matt to both be awake and have made breakfast. Part of Everett's life going smooth was him subconsciously going along with a routine that had been set by both himself and Matt before either of them had even realized what they were doing.

"I want bacon," he said, settling in at the kitchen table before realizing that he probably needed a shower. His neck had been marked up too which he found unpleasant. He had a potion for that though and could deal with that later.

Matt was up early despite having a day off. He felt like maybe he could start ahead on the next article. After all he now had a typing machine at home. And well he couldn't sleep well anyway knowing that his best friend was somewhere out there doing Merlin knows what. Despite that Everett was an adult now, Matthew couldn't stop worrying about him. He had all the time to make breakfast. It was his own house so he was fine with just having pyjama pants on. However as he started preparing the food, he did put on an apron. Just for safety.

"Hmm..." He checked the time and nodded to himself. "Might as well gamble on Eve joining," he chuckled to himself and took ingredients for two people. And he was right, the door opened not long after he started baking the scrambled eggs. Sighing, he shook his head and continued. "Morning, Everett," he replied to the demand of bacon. He turned around as the other settled down at the kitchen table. "Oh sorry, I'm afraid I ate all of it myself. I figured you went for bed and breakfast tonight," he teased his friend with a grin. Then he scooped the plates and put one in front of the Hufflepuff. "Here you go. Just make sure you drink your orange juice first. They're freshly squeezed. You need the vitamins," he told the other man with a motherly tone in his voice.

"Breakfasts are for you," Everett said with a wink, unaware of how romantically that could be construed as well as a little warped. He went to bed with other people yet always wanted to start his actual day with Matt. Everett had never thought much about it though.

When Matt said that he had eaten all the bacon, a look of being betrayed crossed Eve's features. His pout turned into a grin as he was presented with his food which looked delicious as usual. Naturally obedient, Eve took a swig of the juice before settling into his food. "And how was the rest of your night?" He asked as he cut up his french toast.

Matt felt his heart glow and his face change a shade at the said words. He quickly turned himself back to the food he was working on. Then he gathered his Gryffindor courage. "Good," he said with a grin. "Can I get a contract signed that they'll stay that way?" Matt teased his friend with a returned wink. "Though we both know nobody's eggs compare to mine. So you'd be missing out greatly if you changed to stay." Hopefully one time the night would belong to him as well. But his friend deserved his freedom and adventurous. They made him happy and as long as Eve was happy, Matt was too.

The look of betray compared with the pout was just too beautiful. The blonde shot into a laughter and ruffled the other male's dark locks. "Like I would get started without you," he grinned brightly. Like an older brother, he nodded in approval when Everett finished his juice first. Good boy. When asked about his night, he blinked and shrugged. "Less exciting than yours I can tell you that." He won't tell the other that he hadn't slept one moment because he feared something was going to happen with Everett. Sometimes it wasn't even jealousy why he didn't like Eve going with strangers. Matthew was afraid that one day Eve might go with the wrong stranger and never return.

Oblivious to his friends reaction to his words, Eve kept enjoying the breakfast that Matt had made him. "Anything you want," Eve said teasingly in return. The other mans words were true enough. He didn't know what it was but Matt's food did not compare to anyone elses. He highly doubted that he would ever stay the night though. Emotions were messy and he didn't want to give anyone the wrong impression.

Eve made a mildly indignant sound when Matthew ruffled his hair. It made Eve somewhat sad that Matt hadn't had an exciting night while Eve had fun with someone he was likely never going to even think about again. "We could stay in tonight. Watch a movie or something," he offered.

'If only you know what I really want', Matt thought to himself. He grinned and shook his head. At moments like this he almost believed he could get just that. But he knew better than attempting to make things awkward between them. Everett was a natural flirt, Matthew was a disastrous one unless it involved Eve. They'd always been like this and nothing would change. "Careful Eve. You'll regret saying that when we meet at the altar," he joked and winked. As long as it remained a joke Everett could handle it, he hoped. Little did he know it was actually the only thing he ever really wanted.

For a grown ass man was Everett so darn adorable. Matt often had to correct himself in staring. If it was a cartoon little hearts would float around him. Thank heavens this was real life. The former Gryffindor took a bite of his toast before his friend spoke. The offer made him happy. "That'd be cool," he nodded. "I'll get the beer and snacks. Should I prepare a spare bed or would mine do?" He kinda didn't want to go through all the effort of going to the storage.

"Oh, it wouldn't be so bad marrying you. I'd be the only one that gets to eat your eggs," Everett said with a teasing grin. Well, unless they had children though they were just joking around so he didn't know why that thought popped into his mind at all.

Everett thought for a moment before shrugging. "Yours will do. No reason for you to do all that extra work when we both know I'll end up coming to snuggle you anyway."

"You'd marry me for my eggs, huh? Good to know that that's my best quality," he laughed a little and poked his friend's cheek. "Currently you're the only one to eat my eggs, silly," he chuckled and shook his head. "My eggs are reserved for a special someone only." It was not like he had many adventures. It happened rarely that he had someone to spend the night with. Only when he was extremely sexually frustrated and someone was heavily flirting with him. It helped him blow of the steam but it didn't bring him happiness. Especially not when he climaxed and not yelled the name of the person he was with but Everett's. All those things he would never tell his best friend.

"Good, cuz I'm feeling lazy," he winked and finished his eggs. Matthew looked forward to all the snuggling he could get. "Lets watch the movie in bed! And order pizza like back in the day. Hmm tonight is going to be great," he mused and took his fork to poke some of Everett's bacon to tease him. However instead of stealing it (as his original plan was), he brought it to his friend's mouth.
