The drive there was anything but simple. His emotions ridding him as anxiety took over and his vision wavered. He could feel his chest tighten and a lump begin to form in his throat. Matthew's mouth felt dry and his lips felt as though they were a cracked dry desert floor. All he could hear was the pounding of his heart inside his ears until Colby spoke. Matthew turned his gaze towards him, watching him as he spoke and his heart melted. How could he be such a good friend? How could he be so perfect? He truly didn't understand, but that didn't matter at this point. As he sat there looking upon his friend, his chest began to unwind, releasing the breath it had held. His throat felt sore but the lump was gone, and he took a sip of his drink and quenched the feeling of being parched.

Matthew knew what it is Colby wanted him to say. To say that he wouldn't crumble, or show weakness, to say that he would be better than that and believe in himself, trust himself, to be who he needs to be. But when those words came out all he wanted to do was crumble. He tried to keep a stiff upper lip, keeping it from wavering as he smiled at Colby. [Color=99CC00]"You're right. Im gonna be better."[/color] it took all the strength for him to say that, but all the courage to do what he was about to do next. Matthew unclipped his seat belt and leaned forward towards Colby, embracing him as he buried his face in Colbys neck. [Color=99CC00]"Thank you"[/color] As Matthew pulled back, he planted a kiss on Colbys cheek, it was definitely more affectionate than friendly, lasting a bit longer than a mere peck. Despite his anxiety telling him his lips were dry, they were actually quite soft as he placed them upon his cheek. Matthew pulled back and smile with greater ferocity. [Color=99CC00]"Ready to go? Or should we wait a bit?"[/color]
