"Are you positive you know this?" Arthur asks for the tenth time. Matthew rolls his eyes, but smiles, at his father figure's questioning. Matthew knows that Arthur isn't asking because he thinks Matthew can't handle it, but because he's a worried parent. Matthew doesn't mind.
"Yes I am positive," he says walking down the path away from Arthur's house. The huffy British man waves to Matthew as he gets into the cab. Matthew had spent the last two days there, learning how to do the gate opening spell that connects the two worlds. Arthur had been ecstatic to teach him how to do magic, since no one ever believed he could do magic before. He was so pleased, he didn't even ask why Matthew wanted to learn the spell. It hadn't been too hard to learn, but Arthur made him practice the motions a few hundred times, just to make sure.
"A spell gone wrong could do some serious damage. Take breaching the two worlds at all for example." Arthur hadn't meant to open a gate connecting the two, but now that he had, it's too late. Matthew smiles at Arthur's complaints about the outcome of his actions. Matthew is more than happy that Arthur blundered with his spell.
The car ride and plane ride back to his home in the mountains make Matthew restless. He's confident in his ability to perform the spell and wants to try it out as soon as he can. He flies from the taxi that drove him up to his home. Matthew is giddy, getting the necessary items for the spell to work. He draws a door on an open space on his wall, putting a few magic symbols around the edge that Arthur told him are super important. He picks up his phone and calls the one person he's anxious to see.
"You ready?" he asks excitedly when Matt answers the phone. A grunt on the other line is the only answer he gets, and it's good enough for him. Matthew keeps Matt on the line as he chants the magic sayings Arthur burned into his brain. The outline of the door shimmers, coming full form into an actual door. It's quiet. Matthew begins to panic, thinking he had done the spell wrong, said it wrong, drew it wrong, worrying his head off if Matt's okay. The door opens.
Matt steps through the portal a bit dizzy like he's been spun in circles. He puts a hand to his head and looks up to lock eyes with Matthew. Matthew is relieved that he did it all right and runs forward to hug Matt, who immediately brings his arms around Matthew's smaller form, a small smile on his face. He pulls Matt into his home, closing the doorway behind him. He begins to talk about how he's been and how much effort he spent into trying to learn the spell and Arthur's constant nagging. Matt nods his head along to his story.
They spend the week enjoying each other's company, Matthew dragging him places in his version of Canada. Matt is completely enamored. The land is as beautiful as Matthew and it leaves him breathless. Matthew teases him when they take hikes to explore the land, because the moose come right up to Matt and nudge his head. Some even bow to him, making Matthew drop to the ground in giggles. Matt's blushing face not helping.
Matthew makes him all sorts of food during his stay and Matt thinks this is heaven, and Matthew is his angel. Matt still can't comprehend the sweet things and loving words Matthew tells him. Matt sometimes doesn't feel worthy of Matthew's attention and affection, but his dark thoughts become far and few between with Matthew near him. Matt decides that Matthew is his guardian angel. When he expresses this thought to his double, Matthew laughs. Matthew tells him that Matt is his guardian angel. Matt doesn't believe him, but with the way Matthew smiles at him, he figures it may not be that bad.
At the end of a week Matt has to head back. Arthur's warning of a week being the safest long term period for someone from the other world to stay in theirs scares Matthew and he wants Matt to be as safe as possible. With a long hug and a quick kiss, Matt is back in his own world.
Matt comes to Matthew's world often thanks to him learning the spell to open the gate. The fact Matthew wants him around makes him happier than anything, even Al's teasing not bringing down his spirits. A few days before their next meeting, Matthew tells him he's not going to open the gate, worried that something bad will happen to Matt if he stays too long in their world. Matt doesn't mention that he's stayed longer before and it didn't hurt.
"I'm excited to see you though," Matthew says through the phone. Matt is glad that he doesn't have to hide his blush from Matthew this time. His sweet words always make Matt flush up, although he's getting better at controlling his reactions.
"Me too," Matt mutters his reply. Matthew doesn't mind that Matt doesn't say a lot. He knows that if Matt ever felt the need to say something, now he would. Matthew rambles on about how Alfred is freaking out about the meeting because he's not finished with his speech, Matt replies with how Al hasn't even bothered to start his. It's a pleasant conversation. Matt has never been more content with the world.
