XIX. The Possibility of a “Finite” and Yet “Unbounded” Universe
“I really like old stuff.”
Matthew couldn’t help his smile. “I noticed,” he said, swirling his spoon around in the vanilla pudding cup that Mr. Jones insisted he should have. He was a slower eater than Mr. Jones; the matching pudding cup to his own was already empty and perched on the edge of the desk. “Your coat,” he added, nodding toward the bomber jacket draped over the chair.
Mr. Jones grinned, adjusting his glasses. “Yeah, the coat. But also, y’know, Frank Sinatra, old fighter jet models, Donkey Kong, velcro…”
“Superman.”
“Superman isn’t old. He’s timeless.”
Raising an eyebrow, Matthew stuck the spoon in his mouth. He sucked the pudding off of it and thought about how he liked older things, too. Just not in the same way. (And if Mr. Jones ever heard him say he was old, he might cry. He was that kind of guy, after all
( ... )
I'm a little freaked because...for I think the past two times now, when I've updated my WIP...something of yours updates too, and I just think to myself 'Is this karma?' XD
Nnn, I don't think I'll ever get over how awesome this all is. Their interactions are just so cute, and you make even their most casual moments seem so soft and sincere. I feel like I'm falling in love right along with Matthew.
The whale bit was utterly adorable, and I greatly enjoyed seeing it move around he and Kiku's place, haha. And Alfred talking about the Kool-Aid, just rambling XD Oh, Al~
Favorite line: And every morning, Matthew woke up to reality; it was cold on his bare toes.There's just something about it that I really, really enjoy. I imagine the metaphor, short but very relateable, and so easily capable of describing his feelings
( ... )
I am sorely tempted to go hunt down and try to guess which fill is yours. XD XD FATE HAS CHOSEN.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Your consistent support of the story has meant so much to me. ♥ Especially since I started it on a whim (I'm normally not into "school AU" stories). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am a sucker for headcanon, anytime I do an AU. XD I have to shove all sorts of canon tidbits in (and many more will appear). Matthew's ability devour pancakes is completely true, too; he could almost beat out Alfred in a contest. (Alfred totally digs early rap. Like, 80s style rap, too. The kind that involved bright, froofy shirts and backwards caps.)
And also, yes, your comment makes total sense. :D I'm going for a casual, natural read (almost all of mine tend to), so I'm so happy it's getting through.
Good luck on your tests! ♥ And have fun on your own vacation - Virginia Beach ain't nothin' to laugh at. Mmmm.
Haha, feel free. You can even consider it getting even for me spotting several of yours XD I'd just tell you, but where'd be the fun in that?
You're very much welcome <3 This has definitely been the greatest fill I've ever received, so it's only fair that I tell you as much. So, really, thank you as well. I love seeing the way you've developed the request It even helps me get better test scores. You see, I use them as incentive if they come out right before a test, a kind of 'You can read it...once you stop procrastinating and study!' Lagging in my comments are likely due to that XD
... OP is speechless and clings wantonly.

kajjsdlks.
You just - that's - I don't even...!
*clings pathetically* I love you, fanart!anon. ♥ ♥ ♥
Oh my gosh, I've never gotten fanart, what's the etiquette?! XD;; I'm totally blindsided. Especially by your awesome. You are just so good - how natural the posture is when you draw the body forms, the perfect (PERFECT) Matthew, the freaking adorable whale being exactly as I'd imagined... My God. Seriously. Your talent. I just. And they're both so cute.
Can I just say that the first one has a level of detail that fascinates me? GET OUT OF MY BRAIN. WAIT. NO, NEVER LEAVE IT, I LOVE YOU. How Mr. Jones' legs stick out further into the space under the table, the way his sleeves aren't buttoned, the lean into his hand. That's just like how I'd imagined. And oh Matthew. He is utterly perfect. His blush, the expression on his face when he watches Mr. Jones is just... argh

You don't have to do anything O:} The only thing I could possibly want is more of this story lol
I was seriously bored at my desk and just remembered this fill and my two favorite parts<3 I couldn't draw anything too involved, lest it give away the fact that I am bored to death at my desk...
But thanks for the too-awesome review, it makes me happy just reading it ;D
*flails and squeals* Dammit, I don't have a brain anymore, the cute of that second picture has KILLED IT UTTERLY. ... Is it weird that I want to pet Matt's hair? Cuz I so totally want to pet it. It looks so sooooft~ /weirdness
