Matteo is a nonbinary transmasc gay who can’t really wear a binder due to anxiety, so he usually hides his chest under huge sweaters with ugly distracting patterns, which is unfortunately exactly the fashion style of the berlin hipster soft butch type Laura is attracted to. She chats up Matteo in a gay bar, only to realize her mistake later on when Matteo gets totally flustered. 

“I’m gay!” he says with an apologetic grin and a shrug.

Laura, confused, replies, “Uhh yeah so am I?”

To which Matteo awkwardly replies “No as in, gay for guys. I’m a guy, kind of.”

Laura apologizes profoundly, offers to pay for Matteo’s non-alcoholic drinks for the rest of the night, gets to know him a bit better and eventually decides that shit, she has to introduce this kid to her brother.

Before that can ever happen though, Matteo and David meet each other in school, pretty much like in canon - lingering glances, longing stares, sinking to the ground because you just imagined your crush swirling and all that jazz.

Meanwhile, Laura is adamant about trying to set up David and Matteo. She’s constantly like “Hey David, you should really go out with this cute kid I found you, you two would be so perfect!!” and David is like “Nah thanks” because he’s falling for Matteo. So Laura keeps on texting Matteo like “Hey you should come over some time and hang out with my brother and me” and Matteo is really confused and doesn’t know what to do with that, and also he’s completely preoccupied with David.

But David thinks that Matteo is a cis gay guy and so he’s scared to come out and he kinda retreats a little, and Matteo thinks that David is maybe not into him?? So he eventually gives in and decides to give Laura’s brother a chance, even if it only leads to friendship, because let’s be real, Matteo could use more trans friends. So he tells Laura he’s finally gonna come over, and David, who’s really not over Matteo, is kind of annoyed that Laura invited this kid she thinks would be PERFECT for David, but hey whatever, they’re just gonna hang out and David is gonna be honest and explain that he already has feelings for someone else

here you go, i hope you enjoy it!

Matteo reached out to feel for David’s side of the bed.  It had been slightly odd when that side of his bed moved from being Jonas’ to David’s‒but it was a good odd. Matteo liked going to sleep with someone he could touch and who wanted to touch him back.  He liked being able to cuddle up and press soft kisses on someone and wake up to those same soft kisses being given back to him.  Actually, the only negative thing that came out of gaining David as a sleeping partner is when he got out of bed before Matteo.

This morning was, sadly, one of the mornings he wasn’t there beside him.

It admittedly took a lot out of Matteo to get up in the mornings, but figuring out where David had gone had proved to be a valid motivation.  Besides, on good days, he could coax David back to bed.  That idea pressured Matteo to drag himself out of bed.

From the moment he opened his door, Matteo could hear the sound of plates clambering and voices fumbled over each other.  He followed them slowly, his socked feet dragged against the wood floors.  He wasn’t really a fan of people that weren’t David in the morning.

The kitchen came into sight along with three bodies.  David was standing in front of the stove, smiling widely as Hans rambled on about something unintelligible whilst standing over his shoulder. He seemed to be impressed with the concept that someone in the house actually knew how to work the stove at all.

“I see why Matteo likes you, it seems you make sure he actually eats.  Do you make sure he showers to?  Because I honestly think he’s done that a bit more since you came into the picture.  It’s still not enough, but, uh, you know, it’s better.” Hans said.  David shrugged, stirring the eggs around the pan.

“I like my men to be slight disasters.” David answered calmly, Hans laughing his praise.  Matteo slowly made his presence known through silently sliding into the kitchen.

“Oh, good morning, sleeping beauty!” Hans sang before leaning his head on David’s shoulder.  Matteo furrowed his eyebrows.  “David here is proving to be quite the keeper”

“I don’t know if I’d call myself a keeper, I don’t like enough people to be considered a keeper, I don’t think.” David said, trying to crane his head around Hans to get a view of Matteo.  It proved to be a little more difficult than he expected due to Hans being, well, Hans.

“You like me, don’t you?” Hans cooed.  David again cracked a smile as he caught sight of Matteo, his eyes shining way too much for this early in the morning.  Matteo focused his annoyance on Hans who seemed far too close to his boyfriend.

“Of course.” David answered simply.

“What are you doing?” Matteo grumbled, staring at Hans for a few moments.  When he realized he wasn’t going to move, Matteo weaved his arms around David from behind and pushed Hans off his shoulder by placing his own head in it’s spot.  David chuckled.

“You are so not a morning person.” Hans accused, waving them off as he left the kitchen. Matteo rolled his eyes before closing them and cuddling further against David.  He’d never known how good it felt to just cuddle with someone.

“Morning, love.” David said softly, kissing the top of Matteo’s head before giving his focus back to the stove.

Matteo slowly but surely felt himself dozing off once again, his body weight relying more and more on David with each passing second.  He only seemed to be conscious when David placed the pan on the side and turned around to wrap Matteo up in his arms.  His hand held the back of his head to him, pressing those faint kisses to the side of his face as he held him close.

“Did I really cook just for you to just sleep?” David murmured, kissing Matteo’s neck softly.  Matteo felt like dead weight, hardly awake enough to even process the words he was being told.  Regardless, he managed to nod. “Wanna go back to bed?”

“Literally why did you get up?” Matteo grumbled.  David chuckled.

“Well, some people eat.” David cooed teasingly.  Matteo sighed, reluctantly gaining the strength to stand up on his own.  A cold chill ran down his spine as he separated from the warmth of David’s body.

“Eat.  Then bed.”

“Or,” David began, cupping Matteo’s cheeks in his hands.  Matteo had previously despised when people grabbed his face, and he still did if they weren’t his boyfriend.  It felt like such a demeaning action, like they saw him as nothing more than a stupid little Matteo.  David, on the other hand, made him feel like the center of his attention.  He liked being the center of David’s attention.  “I’ll make a plate and we can go lay down.”

“Yeah.” Matteo said, watching David smile before giving him a kiss.  Matteo’s eyes closed at the contact, staying closed even when their lips parted.  David huffed a laugh and gave him one more that lasted a little longer than the first.

Matteo leaned against David as he spooned scrambled eggs into a bowl.  Within a few minutes, they were heading back to his room that had slowly sort of become their room.  David sat up against the wall and Matteo easily found a place with his head in David’s lap.

David sat in silence, one hand in Matteo’s hair and the other spooning food into his mouth.  Everything felt calm and easy.
