《The Unexpected [M.E]》6

Her eyes widened and her heartbeat increased. Matt's here? Why the hell...
"Hey! I missed ya Dust," She heard his voice and saw him wrap his strong arms around her. She felt jealousy course through her like a hungry appetite. Slowly, she closed the laptop and stood up. When Matthew walked in, he saw his dark haired best friend intensively staring at him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked. Matthew was surprised by the coldness of her voice. Laura was never cold. And when she was, you had to be cautious. Because that meant, she was an easy ticking bomb.
"What no hug?" He innocently asked her, arms opened to her. Home. That was her first thought. So she pushed aside her anger, she pushed aside her bitterness, and bottled it up till he left.
His arms wrapped tightly around Laura's rather tall, yet not too tall frame. Laura's arms went around his neck and his arms around her waist. The hug was quick yet it made her stomach flipped. He smelt of Apple and some designers cologne. When they pulled back, she saw Dusty in the corner of her eye smirking. She only rolled her eyes.
Dusty always knew about Laura's feelings towards Matt. She kept it a secret the whole two years before he left. And she had to be there for her best friend because the only guy that she fell for, left suddenly.
Dusty watched Laura and Matt have a small conversation before Laura called Dusty's name to order more pizza.
Laura let Matt sit beside her. She opened her laptop and surfed YouTube while he looked. "So you still mad at me?" Laura just shaked her head. "Nope."
Matthew just nudged her shoulder. "Well... I guess we'll have to see about that."

"Yo, Dust!"
"Yeah?" Dusty called back to Matt. She closed her phone. Hands on her hips as she stared at the ash blond guy.
"Since you're both here... might as well drop the bomb." Laura had a stomach clenching feeling and she stopped breathing for a moment. Until he spoke. "I wanna take you guys on my next tour." Laura choked on her breath and looked at him.
"What?! Matt... are you freaking serious right now? Don't you dare mess with me," He chuckled at her excitement and nodded. "I'm dead serious. Both of y'all are coming with me.... that's if you want though." Laura looked at her best friend, both with wide eyes.
Dusty then looked at Matthew. "Uh, hell yes. I wouldn't pass that on." Matthew clasped his hands then looked at Laura. Her breath caught in her throat at how beautiful and mesmerizing he was up close. She never noticed the small things till now.
Till now.
"I-yeah of course," Laura felt the biggest grin on her face and it actually hurt. But the good kind of hurt.
Matt patted her thigh and then smiled. "Perfect." Laura felt like screaming and jumping up and down like a damn freshman because he had done that.
Holy crap I need to calm my feelings. Now. Like right now. She thought to herself. She knew if she was going with him on the tour that she couldn't let her feelings get in the way, because she knew they were only best friends. Only. Nothing else. So Laura just sucked it up and smiled back. "Indeed Matty Boy," The door bell rang and signaled the pizza was here. Dusty paid and brought it in front of them.
While they were eating Dusty spoke up first. "So Matt, how did you know the way here?"

"Came here with Lo," He answered nonchalantly. Laura just hid her grin with the pizza as she looked at her best friend. Dusty gave her the 'details later' look and Laura just blinked rapidly.
"Oh, I see. Y'all be forgetting me already." Dusty made a hurt face and took a bite of her pizza. "Nah, you were just too lazy to come and see it when I bought the damn place."
Before Dusty replied Matthew's phone rang and he held up his finger while sliding the lock to open it up. "Hello?"
"What's up Nash?" Laura's stomach churned at the name. Hate him. She thought to herself. Not only did she hate him. She knew he was a bad influence on Matty.
"A'it man, I'll be there in a little bit." With that he closed the line and looked at both of his best friends with a sorry look. "Sadly I have to go. But I will text Lo with the details about the tour. Y'all just be packed by this Thursday. Two days guys, is that enough time?" He chuckled while standing up. They both nodded and Laura spoke,
"Don't die dude, okay? I might call you." Matthew gave her a toothy grin.
"Course could never die on you." With that they all yelled goodbye and Matt left Laura's house. Dusty stood up immediately and dropped her pizza on her plate. "I want fucking details right now."
Ah damn.

8 230You Only Smol Twice: A Smol Detective Story
This is a fanfic set in the universe of They Are Smol, a delightful series of stories by TinyPrancingHorse which you should totally go and read. It’s the third in my own series about a human investigator in a galaxy full of aliens who are much bigger and stronger than any human. Obviously, there are plenty of spoilers for the previous two stories in here so consider yourself warned. After many successful investigations, Oscar Williams has his loyalty to his adopted alien family sorely tested. What appears to be a simple theft turns out to be anything but, and to capture the perpetrators Oscar might just have to betray his own species… Formal Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only TinyPrancingHorse TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a website should you require more Smol Shenanigans in your life. Which you do, so get over there and read it.
