"matt, you are so fucking bad at this."

"shush, rory. i'm trying to focus here."

aurora rolls her eyes amusedly at him and matt sighs exasperatedly from where he stands in front of her. he moves his hands away from her face slightly and tilts his head at her. "can you not roll your eyes while i'm trying to put these on, you fucking idiot?"

she just chuckles. "you're doing it wrong anyway," she tells him pointedly. "it's supposed to go next to the wing, matt."

it's matts turn to roll his eyes now. "it's not my fault the rhinestones are so fucking tiny," he speaks in annoyance before leaning forward again and moving his hands to hover over her face lightly. "can you actually close your eyes now?"

"sure," she sighs, closing her eyes like she's told to.

she's currently sat on his bathroom counter, him stood in front of her as tries his best to rightfully place these tiny little rhinestones along the wing of her eyeliner.

she's currently all dressed up for her very own surprise birthday party which by the way, she obviously planned herself. it's aurora, so everyone knows she'll freak if things aren't the way she wants it.

the party is a special one, just like her. it's an angels and devils theme. you've got to wear devil horns, a halo, or some wings of sorts. it makes it all the more fun, and the devils esc of it all is definitely giving aurora.

auroras currently got devil horns on her head, of course.

everyone else is already at the party but matt and her are currently still at his place. she wanted to take extra time with getting ready so she could make an entrance, duh. matt just followed along with anything she told him because it is her birthday, of course, and he's determined to make sure every thing is nothing but the absolute best for his girl.

he's attempting to put rhinestones along her eyelids, for fucks sake.

"i still feel like you should just let me do—"

"it's your birthday, 'rora. i've gotta do it," he emphasizes, glancing over his work and smiling slightly. "plus, i've only got like one more."

"okay, okay," aurora sighs.

a moment of silence forms between them where all that's heard is both of their steady breathing and the movement of matt's hands as he attempts to put the tiny gems in the perfect place. after a bit of the comfortable quietness in the tiny room, matt's hands drop and he speaks. "alright, they're all on."

aurora opens her eyes instantly, finding matt looking at her and his work with a hint of a smile. she gives him a questionable teasing look before turning where she sits to see into the mirror behind her. matt steps slightly closer to her and rests a hand along her back to assure she doesn't end up falling. when she can clearly see her reflection, she leans in closer to examine the placement of the stones and a pleased grin takes over her lips. "you actually did a lot better than i expected."

"see," matt is quick to to respond with a lighthearted tone, aurora turning back around and his hand dropping from her back. "you seriously underestimate me. i'm like a makeup artist."

aurora tilts her head at him slightly. "don't get too ahead of yourself, bro," she tells him teasingly, leaning forward to pat his shoulder. "i've definitely gotta readjust the ones you did on my left eye."

matt rolls his eyes. "i hate when you call me bro."

a look of amusement takes over her features. "you don't want to be bros?" she challenges, a sense of deja vu creeping up on the boy in front of her.

a slight grin takes over his lips and he leans in closer to her as he answers with the same thing he's told her once before. "no, aurora, i don't want to be bros."

aurora grins back at him, clearly thinking back on the older days when they had no clue what they were doing or what was going on between them. she's as sure as ever now. what a contrast. she moves her hands to rest along both sides of the counters on the side of her thighs and she looks up at him teasingly. "what do you want to be then?" she questions jokingly. "lovers?" she enthuses after a small beat of silence.

he gives her a look. "we're already that, dumb fuck."

she raises her eyebrows at him instantly. "oh, dumb fuck?" she repeats, him already rolling his eyes. "no need to throw my own words back at me, matthew," she teases lowly, leaning in closer to him.

their faces are just inches apart now and despite auroras words, the distance is all matt can focus on now. he murmurs a soft, "you gonna shut up so i can kiss you now?" that takes up the silence between them.

auroras eyes narrow slightly and just as matt begins to lean in further to just break the distance already, she turns her head at the last second. matt instantly groans. "rory," he whines.

she leans over to grab the fuzzy, white halo headband sitting on the counter on the other side of the sink. she looks back to him and holds the headband up in her hand once she's grabbed them. "you can kiss me after you put this on," she tells him, a smug grin taking over her mouth.

he's been refusing to put the stupid thing on all night so naturally, his face drops. he takes a step away from her and narrows his eyes. "you're fucking evil."

she tilts her head and uses her free hand to point at the top of her head. "that's why i've got the horns. duh," she tells him dubiously, him rolling his eyes. he is so stubborn. "what? should i be the angel then?" she tries.

matt sighs and shakes his head, taking the same step forward that he dramatically took back before. he glances over her once and shakes his head again. "you are anything but an angel, aurora."

she smiles. "exactly," she says before taking the halo headband in her hands and pushing it in front of his chest. "so put your halo on, yeah?"

matt glances down to the headband now against his chest with a genuinely disgusted look. he looks back up at her with his face all scrunched up, trying one more time, "rory—"

"it's my birthday, remember?" she uses the words he used earlier, challenging him. "you've gotta do it."

matt clamps his eyes together, holding in a large groan. he opens them again after a moment and aggressively takes the halo from her hand, shaking his head at the way her face literally lights up. "i hate you for this," he mumbles.

"no you don't," she responds easily, smiling as he dreadfully places it over his hair. she leans forward and moves his hair slightly after it's placed, grinning wider once she leans back and sees the full sight of him with a halo. "see, you look angelic."

he looks away from her and to the mirror behind her. he blinks and then looks back to her with a blank expression. "no," he speaks shortly. "horns would've looked way better."

"nope." aurora sighs and shakes her head slightly. she leans forward and raises her hands to wrap around his back like she's going in for a hug. he looks down at her, the same stubborn look on his face as her hands connect behind him and she leans forward to rest her chin on his chest. she looks up to him and despite the fact that she's making him wear an obnoxious halo on his head, all he can think of is how pretty she looks. "you are an angel," she tells him, voice softer than before.

his lips twinge upwards with admiration and his heart soars the same it always does when she compliments him. it's something he'll never get used to, he thinks. he leans forward and rests his hands on both sides of the counter next to each of her legs. "corny," he mumbles teasingly.

she rolls her eyes and leans in closer as well. "you made this way, you asshole," she tells him.

a smirk takes over his features and he leans in even further. "be a devil and kiss me already, will you?" he murmurs, raising his hands to cup both of her cheeks. he can immediately feel the heat of her skin at the touch and he likes that, to see his effect on her. he knows if she touched his face right now, she'd feel the same heat.

"corny," she bites back with his own words quietly. she tilts her head at him slightly as he looks at her impatiently. "and needy too—"

she's cut off by his lips on hers. no surprise there.

his lips quickly mold with hers, pressing against each other rhythmically at the same perfect pattern they always do. she sits up slightly and lets her arms around his back fall, him quickly taking advantage of that and taking a step closer towards to the counter to be even closer to her.

one of his hands on her cheek slides down to her jaw to tilt her head up slightly more so he won't have to lean down to her as much. his other hand falls from her face and slides down her back to pull her closer to him and assure she doesn't lose her balance as he does so. as he pulls her to him, her arms raise to wrap around the back of his neck loosely. the two fall into their perfect places, like the last two puzzle pieces you finally got in the right spots.

they eventually pull away and auroras hands drop from the back of matt's neck to rest against the counter again. matt's hand on her jaw drops and instead lands on the side of one of her hips while his other hand slides to the opposite one. he frowns just slightly. "you don't taste like cherries," he murmurs.

aurora tilts her head at him amusedly as she takes sight of some of her red lipstick smeared on his lip. she reaches a hand up and wipes it off with her thumb, then showing him the residue on her finger afterwards. "i'm wearing lipstick, not lip balm," she tells him, his eyes glancing down to the redness on her thumb before she drops it. "which i have to reapply now, by the way," she adds on, turning slightly to grab the lipstick and tiny compartment mirror still on the other side of the counter.

matt sighs, beginning to rub small circles with his thumbs against the fabric of her red dress, his hands still on her hips. "isn't there like.. cherry flavored lipstick or something?"

as she opens the tiny compartment mirror, she looks up at him and gives a blank expression. "i'm not buying cherry flavored lipstick just so you'll taste cherries when we kiss, matt."

he rolls his eyes, holding in a groan and instead watching her as she opens the lipstick and begins to apply it. she applies it over both of her lips and then presses them together to make sure she doesn't miss any spots. she looks over them through the compartment mirror and then closes the lipstick, looking up to matt. he already knows what she's gonna ask so he goes ahead and answers, "looks perfect to me," he shrugs, referring to the lipstick.

she instantly smiles. "thank you." she puts the lipstick aside and is about to do the same with the compartment mirror when she pauses, looking back to matt. "do you think i should like.. put gloss over it?"

"lip gloss?" he asks for further clarification, earning a nod of her head. "nah."

she hums, putting the compartment mirror aside and looking back to him. "why?" she questions.

"don't need another thing i'll have to wipe off of my face the whole night." he shrugs carelessly.

she's instantly raising her eyebrows at his response. "bold of you to assume i'll be kissing you any more tonight." she tilts her head at him, his smug expression not faltering as an imaginary lightbulb appears over her head. she glances over his features and smirks to herself. "since you wanna complain so much," she trails off and grabs ahold of the sides of his face as his eyebrows raise. she leans forward and presses a kiss to his cheek, leaving a red lipstick stain as she pulls away. matt narrows his eyes at her as a smile takes over her lips and her hands fall. "you can have fun getting that off."

he shakes his head at her, wanting to be mad but not being able to deny the twinge of amusement to his lips. "i'm starting to feel like you fit the devil role a little too much," he sighs.

she just grins at him, admiring her work on his cheek. "you're gonna be walking around with a kiss from a devil on your cheek," she tells him teasingly, tilting her head at him as he gives her an unimpressed look. "that's honestly not very angel-like of you, matt."

his lips finally twist up in amusement and he tilts his head at her slightly, still mindlessly rubbing circles into her sides with his thumbs. "you're ruining me too much," he says playfully.

"every angel needs to be a little ruined, matt," she teases, patting one of his shoulders before sighing and glancing at the towel rack above the toilet next to them. "now grab me one of those washcloths so i can get the lipstick off of you before we go."

"huh," matt hums, looking over to the rack she's referring to and then back to her. "i think i'll keep it honestly."

she stares at him, amused. "oh really?" she questions.

"yeah," he sighs playfully. "gotta make sure everyone knows i'm the birthday girls."

a grin instantly takes over auroras features and it's matts favorite sight. ever. "of course."

when matt and aurora make it to ravens house for the party, kingston is instantly cracking up.

"oh this is sick, bro," he says through laughs, not sure whether to laugh at the halo on his head or the kiss mark on his cheek. he decides on both. he leans into his girlfriend next to him as they're sat on a living room couch, devil horns on both of their heads.

matt just crosses his arms over his chest as aurora grins from next to him proudly. chris is shaking his head at the pair from where he stands against the wall next to the couch, but there's a clear grin on his lips as if he finds the situation funny. there's a halo headband on his head and it correlates with the white he's wearing.

kingston is still laughing when venus and raven make their way over to the small group. "oh my god, thank god you guys are here," venus instantly exclaims when she reaches them with raven trailing behind her. "my eye is twitching from the amount of guys here that think they, for some reason, have a chance with my girlfriend? like..."

raven blinks in surprise as they come to stand by chris, her not having been aware of this until now. "wait do people genuinely not know i'm gay? i'm sorry, i'm actually confused because i just thought it was obvious?" she speaks questionably.

venus looks over and sees her genuine helpless expression and sighs. "no, it is obvious," she reassures her as she rests her hand on her back. "men are just dumb."

"real," aurora and makayla both respond in sync, instantly looking to each other and laughing after they've done so. chris, matt, and kingston just nod with what venus said, not daring to say otherwise.

"hey, where the fuck are nick and eli at, by the way?" aurora asks eventually, not having seen them yet.

chris and kingston both instantly look to each other and burst out laughing for some reason. auroras eyebrows furrow and makayla raises her finger to point in some direction. aurora follows her pointing and unfortunately spots elijah and nick unashamedly making out on a loveseat on the other side of the room. "WOAH??" aurora exclaims loudly, instantly turning her head back around as chris and kingston both seem to laugh harder at her reaction. "okay, i did not need to see that!"

"no but the fact that nick literally has a halo on his head while doing that is actually insane."

aurora, matt, kingston, and makayla have made their way to the kitchen and are decidedly looking for something to drink.

auroras mindlessly tapping her finger along the edge of a counter as a random song fades out on the speakers when matt leans down to her ear so she'll hear him better. "you drinking tonight?" he asks simply.

auroras quick to shake her head. "no," she answers, looking over at him and ultimately giving him a playful grin. "why get drunk when i've got you?"

matt's lips quirk upwards, clearly amused as he shakes his head at her. "i'll have to find us water somewhere then," he tells her, earning a nod from her as he steps over to where kingston and makayla are looking through the fridge.

aurora zones out, focusing on the next song that begins to play. her lips form a slight smile when she recognizes the tune of 'say it right' by nelly furtado. whoever's in charge of the music has got impeccable taste honestly.

matt eventually comes back to her side with a sigh. "i can't find water," he tells her, noticing the way she's nodding her head to the beat of the song playing.

she turns her head to him, realizing she didn't catch whatever he said. "hm?" she hums, asking him to repeat himself.

he glances over her features and smirks just slightly. "i asked if you wanna dance," he clarifies, clearly having changed his original words—not like she'll ever know.

her face lights up. "dance?" she questions with a grin.

"mhm," he hums in confirmation, already knowing what her answer is and taking her hand in his.

aurora looks over his face and smiles brightly. "yes," she answers obviously, and just like that, the two are off to the living room that's practically become a dance floor.

once they get there, they mix among the group of people all swaying in their own ways. matt's hands easily go to rest around her hips and her arms rest over his shoulders for her hands to meet and connect at the back of his neck. he pulls her closer to him and she grins at him, tilting her head slightly. "you're really pretty under red lights," she tells him genuinely.

"aurora," he instantly groans, his voice bashful since he's pretty much never going to be used to her complimenting him.

"it's harder to see you blush though, which totally sucks." she rolls her eyes teasingly, just wanting to mess with him.

"okay enough," he sighs, lazily sliding his hands further so his arms can fully wrap around her waist.

aurora just grins at him, her happiness not faltering for a single moment. she'll never not be happy with him. as long as she's with him, she's sure there will always be some smile of sorts on her face.

the chorus of the song begins to play through and she can't resist the urge to mouth her favorite lyrics at him when they play through. "you don't mean nothing at all to me," she mouths playfully, matt only grinning at her in response.

"nothing?" he questions teasingly, raising his eyebrows at her as their faces naturally become closer.

she hums as she glances over his face, eyes lingering on his lips long enough for a smirk to grow on his face. "nothing," she goes along with it.

he shakes his head at the girl, giving her a smug grin from how close her lips are to his, and allowing honest words to easily spill from his mouth. "well, you mean every thing to me," he speaks lowly, his voice slightly raspy from their close distance.

auroras lips part slightly and she instantly goes to connect their lips, when he pulls away with a quiet chuckle. she gives him a 'what the fuck?' look and he tilts his head at her. "lipstick," he states, making her groan in annoyance from her own words earlier. "remember?"

"i don't give a fuck about lipstick, matt," she speaks blankly, making him smirk before she finally connects their lips without a care.

fireworks go off in the sky and the connection means every thing. he means every thing.
