3rd Person POV

Hannah walked backwards down the sidewalk, staring at Matt as he stared back, though she didn't know since he had sunglasses on. She somehow manages to not trip over anyone or anything and continues to stare at Matt. "Hey, I've been wondering about something."

"Then spit it out. It isn't good for thoughts to be running around that brain for too long," Matt replies, smirking. Hannah sticks her tongue out at him and stays silent for a moment before continuing.

"If this is an alternate dimension that means there is an alternate me, which means I have an alternate family. My thought is that, maybe in this dimension I'm the one that's gay, Gavin is straight as a ruler, and our family is super accepting of everything," Hannah explains, going slowly as her brain works it out with her words.

"If that's true, would you consider kissing yourself? I'm sure she and I would really enjoy it," he replies, flashing a perverted grin and wiggling his eyebrows. Hannah rolls her eyes and turns around, slowing down so she can walk beside Matt.

"I meant that it's a pretty cool concept, you know? I never thought of things like that before this," Hannah says, trying to make Matt see her point of view. He is silent for a while, just walking beside Hannah and wondering who this girl really was. Hannah embraces the silence and allows her eyes to wander around the street, watching people walk by.

"Hey, you want to see a movie or something?" Matt asks suddenly, breaking the silence. Hannah glances over at him and nods ecstatically, making him flash a quick and small smile. Even though she only sees it for a second, Hannah feels an unfamiliar fluttering in her stomach, must have been breakfast or something. "Which one do you want to see then?"

"Whatever you want, I'm good with just about every genre," she replies, noticing a movie theater across the street. Hannah starts walking towards it, dragging Matt along with her.

"How about a horror movie?" he asks, an ulterior motive forming in his mind. Hannah would definitely get scared enough to cling onto him the whole time and he planned to enjoy every single moment of it.

Things did not turn out the way Matt had planned, at all. Instead of being scared witless, Hannah was enraptured by the movie. She would lean forward in her seat and jump slightly, but would laugh it off and keep watching. Matt ended up spending the entire movie watching her instead of the screen, completely baffled by her reaction. She didn't act like normal girls at all! Hannah didn't get scared by Kuma, or get offended when he mocked her, or get frightened by scary movies or by him for that matter! She was an anomaly to Matt, and he liked it.

"Hey, are you going to keep staring like a creeper or watch the movie?" she whispered to him, breaking him out of his trance. He scoffed and turned to the huge screen in time to see someone's corpse fly through a window. Hannah chuckles silently and leans back in her seat, angling her body towards Matt. As the movie progresses she ends up holding onto Matt's arm and resting her head on his shoulder, finding the position quite comfortable.

"Hey, the movie is over you know," Matt says, nudging Hannah who was staring at the blank screen. She nods and extracts herself from Matt's arm, standing up and stretching herself out. "Let's get some coffee," Matt suggests.

"Sounds good, I feel like I'm about to fall asleep," Hannah says, walking towards the theater's exit. Matt follows her and squints against the bright sun, despite having sunglasses on.

"Hey, you weren't scared of the movie, why?" Matt asks, hoping to get an answer to why she didn't react like normal girls. Hannah glances over at him and shrugs.

"It doesn't make sense to be scared of something that isn't threatening me personally, right? If I don't feel immediate danger, then I'm not scared," she replies, walking towards the nearest coffee shop. Matt follows her and notices an alley, pulling her in by the hand and pushing her against a wall.

"What about right now? I could kill you if I wanted and no one would find out," he growled. Despite the way he was acting, he was a mess inside. What was he doing?! He could be scaring away the only normal person who could tolerate him. Why was he being so stupid?! Hannah shocks him though, by merely smiling at him.

"You wouldn't though! I don't feel scared when I'm with you, I just feel safe. Well, I don't really know how to describe how I feel anymore. I get this weird fluttering in my stomach and my face feels warm and it's all really weird," she gushes, blushing slightly.

Matt stares at her before scowling and grasping her by the shoulders, shoving her against the wall even more than before. "You just don't get it! I could end you right now and not even regret it for a second," he whispers menacingly. God, why was he acting like such a monster to her? This isn't what he wants!

"That's not true, you would regret it. I know you would, because you're Maple Freak. Maple Freak wouldn't just kill me and move on. So stop acting stupid and let's get some coffee," Hannah whispers soothingly.

Matt looks into her eyes, expecting to see fear of some sort, but comes up surprised when all he sees is worry. She was worried about him? Why? All he had been doing was threatening her very life, and she worried about him. Matt didn't think, he just did the first thing that came to mind, which included pinning her against the wall in a different way and kissing her.

Hannah gasps at the sudden contact, the butterflies in her stomach practically soaring, and gives Matt the opportunity to explore her mouth with his tongue. Hannah doesn't bother struggling, but rather wraps her arms around Matt's neck and plays with his messy ponytail as he deepens the kiss.

Hannah is the first one to pull away from the kiss, but just because of the lack of air. She pants as she stares at Matt, slowly reaching up to remove his sunglasses and smiling when she sees his violet eyes. "See, I knew you wouldn't kill me, Maple Freak."


I feel like this is angsty romance, but I'm not sure. *squints at words* Yeah, still not sure. Well, I finally got my writing groove back! Thanks for reading, comment your thoughts, and look forward to the next chapter!
