Bria was a little ahead of him, chattering about whatever dumb treasure she was taking them to try and find this time, occasionally hacking at a vine with her machete. Gus was right at her side. His stupid eyes were latched onto her with his stupid cute listening face because of course this was some dumb new adventure for him instead of a typical boring weekend. He was also latched onto her other hand. Their hands looked so pretty and soft and dumb together. 

Matt was not sulking.

“Oh, here’s a landmark! Let me check my map.”

The only thing Matt saw was a few trees growing twisted together. “Pfft, kinda a dumb landmark if you ask me,” he sneered. 

“Hey Matty, hold this for me for a sec!” Bria chirped, like she hadn’t heard him. 

Mattholomule automatically obeyed as she passed him Gus’ hand. 

Gus squeaked. Matt stared down at their hands. Gus’ fingers, which had been straight at first, hesitantly closed around Matt’s hand. In the corner of Matt’s vision, Bria had her face buried in her map. 

The afternoon air suddenly felt uncomfortably warm. 

“Aha, this way!” Bria shoved the map back in her pouch, then grabbed Matt’s other hand. “C’mon boys, let’s go!”

Matt, dazed, let himself get dragged along behind her and tightened his grip on Gus. 

And you. would be correct.

In my head it's like, they've both fallen for her, and she's with both of them. Gus and Matt are kinda open to each other, but they're more focused on her. She really wants them to be ALL the way focused on her though, because if they become a thing without her that means there's nothing keeping them with her, and she's scared of that.

(in my head, Gavin and Angmar left after Ttlgr so without them she'd be on her own)

So Bria has two hands, and Gus is on one side of her and Matt is on the other. And she loves it when they love her and she can give them affection back, and when they show affection to each other it feels like she's losing control.
