our boy matt is like a year behind the girls right?? so there’s a whole year where it’s just him and Andrew’s lot (and the freshmen) and yeah come on I know he’s an actual puppy and tries to get along with the newbies but like,,, you know there’s that /one/ snide remark or eyeroll from that one freshman that finally sends him over the edge and into the boys’ dorm. Everyone looks up. “What the fuck do you want,” Andrew asks. Matt says nothing. He falls into the beanbag that Nicky offers him and resigns himself to the fact that the monsters are his new squad for the rest of his university life. Monster Matt.

He’s probably super excited tbh. Like finally, this is his chance, he’s going to be /cool/. But then he realised that all the monsters do on their down time is play video games and eat icecream and mimic Kevin in high pitch British accents and it’s low key better than anything he ever imagined…

Matt is the good kid trying to play bad-boy and the monsters think it’s hilarious? Nicky does, if anything. Matt goes out by himself to buy clothes for Eden’s Twilight the first time the monsters decide to take him along – Aaron ditched them for Katelyn, that time – and he looks like someone dumped a ton of leather on a poodle.

Also, Matt has a truck, so Andrew pretends he lost his keys every time one of the other monsters need to go somewhere and he doesn’t want to take them. Neil never takes out his, because he knows from experience Andrew will throw them out the window if he tries. Matt gets therefore roped along for every late night alcohol-and-junk-food trip for Nicky, accompanies Aaron to get Katelyn from the airport after breaks -and they’re adorable?!- and listens to Kevin anxiously rambling when he takes him over to Coach’s when Abby decides is time for father-son bonding x-activity, and he loves it all.

Low-key Matt keeping an eye on his adoptive brother Neil and realizing that, wow, he and Andrew are actually a good couple? They respect each other so much? They bicker like an old marred couple? So one night he calls Dan and is, no, listen, we got the wrong one, it’s Andrew we should be worried about, Neil is going to get him a heart attack if he keeps antagonizing people!
