[ Matt nods furiously. Maybe they can go somewhere just the two of them with less parents??? Not that he doesn't like the parents its just a lot for him. ]
Yeah lets start with your stuff. There's some boxes in your room.
[ It's enough to make him laugh a bit, and he shakes his head. ]
What, tone it down, be less nice, that sort of thing? No, mate, no, they're cool. Really, it's great. You're lucky, you know. Having them look out for you.
[ He shakes his head a bit, trying to brush it off. ]
Yeah I hope so, mate. Wayyy better than halls. Just as long as you don't get tired of seeing this handsome face. Or get yourself too turned on if you see me come out the bathroom after a shower.
Long as it's not in my bedroom then you put your paintings wherever you want. Including on the walls, mate. And I mean it. Seriously, put them all over the place.
Oh the pub wants me full time over the summer, by the way. They actually asked me before I could ask them.
Hasn't said a thing to me. I think she's just adjusting to moving back home for the summer. She said she would come round once we had the place set up.
[He's going to have to have a chat with her about being weird around Matt >| ]
no subject
Right, so. Dad, if you can put the food away, maybe Matt and I can start unpacking?
[He looks to Matt for confirmation like yes? Is this a good plan?]
no subject
Yeah lets start with your stuff. There's some boxes in your room.
[ TO THE ROOM! ]
no subject
Sorry about them.
no subject
[ He moves to start helping unpack one of the boxes of some of Nate's art supplies, putting it on the table by the window. ]
It's just... well you know.

So this place, it's gonna look great, eh?
no subject
[He gives Matt a little smile before he starts putting some books on a shelf.]
I'm glad we did this. It'll be good.
no subject
[ Nude. It'll be nude. ]
no subject
Hope you don't mind painting laying out to dry. I have a feeling I won't be able to keep them just in this room.

Oh hey do you know what's going on with Luce? I tried to hook up with her the other night and she was all excuses. Not like her.
no subject
[He's going to have to have a chat with her about being weird around Matt >| ]
no subject
[ Of course he has no idea Lucy is just apprehensive about hooking up with Matt now that she knows how Nathan feels. It feels unfair. ]
no subject
I can try to talk to her?
no subject
[ Matt doesn't have feelings for Luce past friendship, but he does count her as a friend, and a good one at that. ]

[It hurts to say it but he has to ignore that. He's fine. This is fine.]

[ Matthew no ]

no subject
That an offer is it?
no subject
[From down the hall, Nate's mother's voice rings out that lunch is ready.]
no subject
I'm so your type.
[ Not that it means anything to Matt. Matt Byrne is not gay. In case this wasn't clear. ]
Coming Mrs. Jones!
no subject
Yeah, on our way, mum!
[When they get there, it's just so much god damn food. Mrs. Jones looks terribly pleased with herself.]
