Matt forced himself out of the room after handing her the glass of water. He did his best to ignore the soft brushing of their fingers when she took the glass from him, he ignored it knowing it didn't have even nearly have the same effect on her as it did on him.

He mentally cursed himself as he made his way up the stair case of the Lockwood mansion. He tried his best but it was driving him crazy. He made the decision last year to keep distance between them but then she returned from that island not herself and he gave up on his futile attempts to stay away.

It was then that he realised he could never stay away from her, no matter how much it hurt him to know she'd never feel the same way but her friendship meant more to him. He'd never give up on her just because the idea that she'll never love him the way he wants her to was almost too hard for him to bear.

He couldn't even bring himself to think of her love for Jeremy, one of his other close friends. He was happy for them, he really was. If he wasn't allowed to love Bonnie the way he wanted to then he was happy she was with someone who could.

Doesn't mean his heart doesn't twist in his chest a little every time he sees the two of them together, when he sees Bonnie look at Jeremy like he's her whole world.

What he wouldn't give to be on the receiving end of that look.

Matt fell back on his bed with a heavy sigh and looked up at the ceiling.

Every day it got just that little bit harder and with today being no exception. He heard what she had gone through with that vampire Damon knew, Enzo. Matt wanted to be the one to take her in his arms, to hold her close and never let her go. He wanted to bury his face in her hair and have her arms around him. He wanted to whisper gentle and sweet things in her ear to make her feel better, to make her feel safe.

But it wasn't and he just had to deal with that.

Oh poor Matty!

God I love Bonnie and Matt, I have such a soft spot for them and I have a number of Monnie one shots in progress including a skinny dipping one!
