Constellations

“Did you know that constellations are different in the human realm?” Gus said, breaking the comfortable silence between him and Matt.

“No, I didn’t, cause I’m not a nerd,” Matt shot back, never one to pass up an opportunity to tease his friend. He leaned back onto the blanket they had laid out in the looking glass graveyard, shifting from sitting to laying down for a better view of the stars through the trees. He glanced sideways at Gus. “Tell me about them, though. So I can use your facts to impress everyone, obviously.” An absolute lie. He wanted Gus to tell him about human realm constellations because he could listen to Gus talk for hours. Gus shot Matt a crooked grin as he laid down beside him. 

“Whatever you say, Matty. For starters, their sky isn’t as purple as ours at night. It’s more like a navy blue. And it’s absolutely bright blue during the day, which is weird. And you can’t really see the stars from most places anymore, because of all the lights in their cities.”

Matt frowned. “But we have lights in our cities, and I can see the stars just fine.”

“Yeah, but their lights work different than ours. It’s a whole thing. But that’s not the point! Anyway, we went camping while we were there, and out in the woods, you can see a crazy amount of stars. Luz taught me some of the constellations.

“The famous ones are the big dipper and the little dipper, which are called that cause they both look like spoons. And they’re also both part of bigger bear constellations, I think. And a lot of their constellations have stories, like this one called Gemini. It’s also called the twins, because it’s of two brothers that were put in the sky because one died and the other one was so sad that he asked their—well, this guy who was kind of like their Titan—anyway, he asked him to make him and his brother immortal, so the Titan made them a constellation. There’s lots of interesting stories like that, and I think I want to go back sometime so I can find a book at the human library about them. I want to know every story of every star.”

Matt soaked in every word of Gus’s rambling. He had long ago stopped gazing at the stars, opting instead to gaze at the boy beside him as he spoke animatedly. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was aware that he must look stupidly lovestruck, but he couldn’t bring himself to care. It was true, anyway. Suddenly, Gus turned to look at him, and Matt felt like he couldn’t breathe.

“You should come with me.”

“What?” 

“Back to the human realm,” Gus clarified. “You should come with me sometime. I can show you the constellations.”

“Oh,” Matt said dumbly. He could feel heat rushing to his cheeks. “Alright, loser, it’s a plan. Me and you. The human realm will never recover.” 

Gus laughed, turning his eyes back towards the sky. “Yeah. Me and you. It’s a plan.”

Matt continued to watch him, unable to look away. He couldn’t help it; Augustus was magnetic, electrifying in an addictive way, and to be honest, he was downright gorgeous. Matt couldn’t get enough of him.

But what if Gus could get enough of Matt? Matt wasn’t stupid; he knew the chances of Gus feeling the same way about him were slim. What if Gus got tired of him, or found something—or someone—better in the human realm? Was Matt worth coming back to?

Matt chewed the inside of his cheek nervously, struggling to ask what he wanted to ask. Eventually, he bit the bullet, and softly said, “Will you come back?”

“What do you mean?” Gus replied. He again met Matt’s eyes, his brow furrowed. Matt cleared his throat.

“From the human realm. I know it’s full of all your favorite nerd stuff and you have friends there now, and their constellations are probably way cooler than ours, but… When you go to the human realm, are you gonna come back?” Will you come back to me? 

“Oh.” Gus’s face softened. “Well…” He took Matt’s hand, and the older boy felt his heart beat wildly against his ribcage at the feeling of Gus’s palm pressed flush against his own. “There’s kinda this guy on the Boiling Isles… He’s annoying and rude and waaaaay dramatic, but I kinda…” Gus hesitated. “I kinda like him. So, y’know, even if I found everything I ever wanted in the human realm, I’d at least come back to see him.”

Matt didn’t know what to say. He was rendered speechless, his face bright red. Finally, he cleared his throat and looked back up at the purple sky, breaking their prolonged eye contact.

“Well, that’s super embarrassing.” His voice was too loud. “But… I bet he likes you too. And I bet he’d be glad to see you, if you did decide to visit.” Matt gave Gus’s hand a gentle squeeze. Gus squeezed back.

“Good. Cause I think I’d always come back for him.” He paused. “But I wouldn’t have to, if he came with me.”

“I think he’d go anywhere with you,” Matt said, almost too quickly. He didn’t mean to; it was just true, and the words practically fell out of his mouth. 

“I’ll hold him to that.”

gustholomule week day 1: beach

inspired by some vintage beach photos i found, here’s 18/19 y/o gus and matt enjoying a rare day off work and school together 💙🤎

(@emsprovisions wrote a fanfic inspired by this art!!)

[emoreooo]

"don't say that, matt."

"but i mean it."

he knew this, too.

— Angel, Won't You Set Me Free? by @rocksandmirrors

[blackyote]

Here, have a concept that doesn't seem like enough for a fic but I have to get it out of my head:

Imagine the first day Matt comes to Hexside sporting his brand new horn. Gus calls to him and Matt pulls back his cowl hood for the big reveal, eyes shining with pride and excitement, his grin smug as always but it's DIFFERENT this time. The grin implies something new - that he feels attractive for the first time in his life, and that confidence changes so much about him.

There's a look in his eye, past the smile, that says he's anxious for Gus' reaction in particular.

Gus runs up, exclaiming, "You have a horn now?!" and Matt is here to flaunt it. It actually came in two nights ago but he was keeping it a secret, even when the two boys talked over Pensta.

Throughout the day, every time Gus sees Matt he finds himself staring. That's his best friend, his partner in crime, but since when was his face worth this much brain power? The horn is the only real difference, and yet it makes his face look complete, somehow. Matt is growing into his features at long last, and the result is more than the sum of its parts. (As Lolly said, he's so LOOKABLE.)

In Illusions class they sit next to each other, as always, and Matt does an unconscious little hair toss, highlighting the horn, and Gus has to look away. He doesn't know what this new feeling is but it's loud and alarming. (It's gay panic.)

Matt laughs at something in his annoying, gremlin way and leans into Gus, and for the first time Gus feels his face warm at the contact. What the Titan is happening.

Matt catches him staring and asks, grinning but completely serious, if Gus wants to touch it. Gus dies on the spot.

Squeaks and Screams

Ships: Matt x Gus

The basement was dark and creaky with only the light of Kate’s flashlight illuminating it.

Kate walked slowly towards a cardboard box on the floor that a series of growls could be heard from.

Kate slowly opened the flaps of the box and peaked inside when the creature swiftly pounced on her, her bloody murder scream shattering the eerie silence.

Gus let out a quiet scream as he hid his head in his blanket while Matt only flinched a little and gripped onto Gus a little tighter.

When Gus had told Matt about this human tradition of watching horror movies near what he called ‘Halloween’ Matt had assumed that they would be nothing compared to the stuff he saw in the boiling isles but man, humans thought up some twisted stuff.

After what felt like forever the end credits started to roll, they sat in silence for a long while when Gus let out a breath he must have been holding for a while then he spoke softly.

“Well that was horrifying but at least it’s over.”

Matt suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment hit him, he shouldn’t have been scared, he himself lived through much scarier things. “Well I-I wasn’t that scared.” Matt started with an amount of confidence that couldn’t keep his voice steady as he talked.

Gus mentally rolled his eyes, Matt still really needed to learn that it’s ok to be vulnerable with people.

“Is that why you’re gripping on to me?” Gus asked sarcastically.

Matt’s face went pink as he saw his hands were hanging on for dear life on Gus's shoulders.

“Well I was getting cold and you're warm.” Matt shuffled himself closer to Gus moving one of his hands down Gus’s back, He did not expect the reaction he got.

Once Matt’s calloused hand made contact with Gus’s back through his shirt Gus’s expression curled into a grin and he huffed out a giggle stifled by his hand that flew to cover his mouth.

Matt’s hand retreated almost immediately “Are you ok?” Matt worriedly asked.

Gus’s smile didn’t fade but he answered, “No I’m good, I’m just kind of ticklish.”

Matt did a double take, Gus, his boyfriend, the most powerful illusionist he has ever known, was ticklish?

Matt’s face morphed into his classic crooked devil’s smile and his eyes had a mischievous glint that said more than words, despite these words did run past his lips. “Good to know.”

Matt’s hand returned to Gus’s back and he began to swiftly wiggle his fingers, Gus burst into squeals and bright giggles. “Nohohahahaha Matahahahahahatt stststohohohop.” Gus’s sentence was about 46% words and 54% giggles, giggles that made Matt’s heart flutter in his chest but he kept this concealed.

“Mmmmm… No thanks.” Matt pretended to consider stopping, even slowing down the movement of his fingers for a second.

“That was a lot of screaming you just did, I think we need to even it out with some laughs.”

Gus flopped down on the couch curling into a ball on his side, Matt took the chance to pounce on Gus attacking his back and stomach at the same time. Gus’s giggles turned to laughter almost instantly and his hands were reaching around blindly to find Matt’s hand to capture them to stop their tickling, but Matt’s hands were too fast and Gus’s were too weak.

Matt had observed that squeezes and scribbles worked well on Gus’s stomach but on his back light tickles and tracing shapes got him those sweet precious giggles. Eventually Matt ditched Gus’s stomach and just kept going on his back milking more giggles out of him.

“Hahahahahahahaha Mahahahahahat thahahahahahahat tihihihihickles.” Gus managed to get out between giggle fits.

“You don’t say.” Matt smirked at the giggly witch beneath him. “Does it tickle more here?” one of Matt’s hands moved to Gus’s back ribs and began lightly scratching “Or here?” His other hand moved to trace up and down his spine.

Gus’s giggles rose in volume and became higher in pitch and his attempts to squirm away became more obvious. “IHAHAHA-I-CAHAHAHAN’T BREHEHEHEHAHAHAHA-.” “That doesn’t answer my question, Agustus.” Gus couldn’t answer as he was overtook by laughs and squeals.

If Matt could have continued tickling Gus he would've but his lover’s laughs were being replaced by wheezes so Matt ceased the movement of his fingers and watched Gus Regain his breath and the few leftover giggles make their way out of his system.

Matt couldn’t help but chuckle at his boyfriend “Hey you good I didn’t actually kill you right?”

Gus got up and sat up looking straight at Matt with those dazzling eyes

“You’re so silly.”

“But you love me.”

“Yeah, I really do.” Gus confirmed, he then pressed his lips on his boyfriends, Matt hummed in delight. Gus wrapped both arms around Matt’s neck and Matt’s hands went to cup Gus’s warm face, Gus smiled into the kiss.

Yep They were definitely in love, no doubt about it.

Author’s note: Is it almost Christmas? yes it is.

Does that stop me from from doing a Halloween fix? No it does not, just think we need more lee, Gus

Mattholomule: I was power! And I want DRAMA!

Willow: Got a need for thrills, chills and theatrics? Join the Flyer Derby Team!

-

Matt would’ve been in his element on the Flyer Derby Team…

Maybe he prefers flying on a broomstick to flying with his palisman? Maybe he’s not into sports? Or is it because Gus is part of the team and Matt didn’t want to embarrass himself around Gus?

[justanotherfanwriter]

god I wish I WISH adult animation would take off where the shows aren’t just family guy rip-offs, but have larger overarching plots and filler episodes that aren’t dedicated to witty “we’re not like other cartoons” jokes that degraded the audience. Like I’ve never seen a group of kids who deserve to drop the f-bomb more than the owl house ones, and by group of kids, I specifically mean Gus when he’s talking to Matt “fucking” Tholomule!?!

4:02 A.M. (a gustholomule fic)

Word count: 4167

Summary: For all he denied it, Gus knew he didn’t think about Matt a normal amount. He tried to justify it to himself: he’s one of my best friends, of course I think about him a lot. But he knew it was a lie.
