“Yeah,” Oliver told him “Yeah, I do”

They decided to hike Runyon Canyon They hadn’t gone together since one of Matt’s early visits years ago, and it was soed clothes and called a cab because it was hell trying to park

Oliver hadn’t been lying when he said he’d been restless Then he’d heard the movement outside his door and had known that Matt felt the same but that he likely wouldn’t come in It would be too needy for Matt and well, Oliver was the opposite When he felt sorab on, to show the world how he felt It was funny how differently they could be built, but it didn’t change the strength of their friendship

They’d just gotten out of the cab at Runyon when Oliver felt a nudge to his arm He looked over at Matt who had an ear-to-ear smile on his face It was really incredible when Matt looked truly happy about so

“I’m excited,” Matt told him

“To hike Runyon?” He knew that hat Matt meant so he wasn’t sure why he’d asked

“Yes The first time I ever hiked Runyon ith you”

Oliver pushed his hands into his pockets “Yeah…yeah, I remember It was me, you and Chance”

“No,” Matt told him “That was the second time The first it was just you and me We’d been at your house I had a shitty day I think ht me Don’t you remember?”

The otten? It wasn’t often that Oliver let memories slip away “Oh yeah,” Oliver replied “You stepped in a hole and twisted your ankle I practically had to carry you down” Jesus, that had been a fun day

“What? It wasn’t that bad! I hobbled on my own quite nicely”

Okay, so erated a little bit but it was more fun that way “You did have your arht”
