When I Was Your Man

Their livestream started with a close-up of Matt's confused face, and him asking "Is this shit working? God damn it!", a moment which would soon be ranked one of the "top 10 most adorable M Shadows moments" in a video on Youtube.

"Matt, we're online," Karma's voice sounded from the off while the first people were starting to flood the comment section with their "bahaha Matt xD" comments. I bet there's gonna be a lot more comments than this when we start, Matt thought with an interior sigh. I just really hope they'll take it well. They're all we have, after all...

She pulled him backwards so that people could see they were sitting in Matt's basement room where he had various gaming, golf and musical equipment standing around in the background. They'd returned from Big Bear a day ago with lots of ideas and some concrete songs, enough to fill an album, maybe even a B side.

"Good morning from your favorite dynamic duo," Karma said with an easy smile, "M Shadows here and..." Matt interrupted her before she could point to him. "And I'm Karma Strikes," he said in a girly voice, earning an elbow from her into his side.

He took over. "Before we start this Q&A as promised, we'd like to tell you something. It's pretty new but we wanted you to know it first hand, not from the press or rumors or whatever." He took a short break to clear his throat and looked at her. She smiled reassuringly. She wanted this. They both did. The entire band did.

"Your favorite frontwoman and frontman are a couple now," he let the bomb loose. A second passed. Matt wanted to ask if the chat was working, but when he opened his mouth, he saw that there were suddenly hundreds of comments.
OMG was the most used expression, but there were also some I knew its, 4 evers and WTFs. Alright I'll never be able to read all of those...

"Yeah, it's unexpected for most of you," Matt chuckled, "it was unexpected for me, too. Happened fast then." More comments flooded the section, and they disappeared even before he could read them. They had the craziest fans.

Karma grinned. "As much as we'd love to start answering questions right away, I have another important announcement to make. As you all know I've been doing a lot of solo stuff in the past, and I've been asked if I didn't want Avenged anymore. Truth is that I'm in some situation that I'm gonna want to explain..."

Matt zoned out for a second, busy attempting to read all the questions about their relationship, how it started, how they got together, their first kiss and so on. Comments that only consisted of HOW could be read before they disappeared. He chuckled interiorly at the thought of never having agreed to a story. He couldn't just say "she called me around to fuck, and oh, did I ever mention we already dated some years ago?", could he?

In the meanwhile, Karma told the camera about what Trey and Alex did to her and why she still had to pay him off, and the comments turned to expressions of solidarity. She mentioned their full names, put facts as they were. She spoke for no longer than a minute.

"...And that's why I'm pressing charges against both of them, and I'm also filing a civil law suit. If anyone of you has experienced anything like this, I urge you to do the same. Don't try to fend with the situation on your own like I did," she concluded. It had been Brooks' idea to go public with all that and to press charges. He thought it might be enough pressure for Trey to agree to end the contract without the payments, and to ruin both his and Alex's reputation. If not, there was always the civil option.

"Now about those comments," Matt said after a short silence. He pressed the button that would randomly select some comments they could answer. Luckily, the first comment that appeared was an actual question, not just a WTF or an OMG. "Randyandy69 wants to know: How long have you been together? Not longer than two weeks."

Karma smiled, then read the next question. "WatdaFAQ asks: "Be honest, how long have you been in love with her, Matt? Uh, Matt?"
Her eyes were panicked for a second since she so carelessly chose the question without reading it beforehand. But Matt smiled reassuringly.

"Quite honestly, WatdaFAQ, it's been a long time. We first met in 2005, and there was an instant attraction. But in love? I'd say around the Dear God music video. That's almost four years now," he explained calmly.

"Next one," Karma took over. "Will you continue to make solo music? Phew. For the moment, no. I don't have any current plans. But I might," she said with a smile. It was Matt's turn next.
They stayed online for another hour, patiently answering questions and joking around. After saying their goodbyes to the fans and switching off the camera, they decided to do a Q&A events more frequently. It had been fun.

Generally, the fans were very supportive of their relationship, and lots of them had expected it already. Checking out the top trending hashtag #A7Xcouple on twitter only confirmed their observations.

"Now, where were we?" Matt asked with a grin. "Come on," she said with a lusty sparkle in her eyes, "we can't fuck all day!"

"We haven't in an hour," Matt complained. He felt an electric jolt when her hand landed on his crotch. She grinned, and that was it. He scooped her up onto his lap, feeling her dampness through two layers of underwear. They hadn't bothered to put on pants for the Q&A. The area wasn't visible anyway.

She kissed him heavily, and Matt once again was struck by all the tingling sensations it was evoking. His hands cupped her perfect ass and squeezed it. She let a raspy moan erupt from her throat. Her little hands unbuttoned his flannel, then roamed his naked chest. Her fingernails began to trace the outlines of his tattoos while her mouth attacked his neck. She bit his favorite spot. His dick twitched painfully under his boxers.

She started to place soft kisses on the outline of his jaw, then finally found his lips again. God damn it, he thought, that woman really knows what I like.

SWEET MISTAKE! IT'S MY FATE! DRENCHED IN SWEAT! UH UH UH!
A stern look met his eyes. "Did you seriously change my ringtone again?" He laughed instead of answering. The band called Turbonuts had been their greatest rival, and Sweet Mistake was their most famous song back when Karma and him first dated. They made shitty rip-offs of their music and kept saying it was the other way round.

That was, of course, only until it was discovered that their frontman, Andy Raken, had fathered four kids from fans. Then they were sued for copyright violation by another band, and after that, they split.

"Do you have to take it?" Matt howled accusingly, pointing to the bulge in his underwear.
Karma grinned as she picked up without checking the number beforehand. That little asshole...
"Yeah, I did it just like we planned," Karma said with a concentrated face, and he realized it was indeed an important call from her lawyer. A devilish smile formed on his face.

"Oh, you saw our stream," she then said after a short break. Matt pushed her into the mattress again, climbing on top of her. She threw him a questioning look but didn't say anything, probably because she didn't want her lawyer to hear.

"Absolutely, thanks for that. I guess they still need my statement right? Which police station? And-" Matt attacked her neck with his mouth, sucking and biting right where she liked it. She breathed heavily.

"A-and where d-do you need me to go?" she asked into the phone, sounding a lot more pressed than before. Matt let his hands move down her body and unbuttoned her blouse. He began placing kisses on her soft buds while his hands moved even further down. Karma squirmed underneath him, yet managed to sound somewhat normal during her next response.

Matt grinned. He would change that.

He pushed two fingers inside her. "And I-ughhh, think I-mhh, can do it to-mhhhh-orrow," he heard her say. He started moving his fingers inside her. Oh he would get her to finish that damn phone call. And then maybe finish in a different way.

She rolled her eyes in pleasure, still listening to her lawyer speaking. I should bother her some more, Matt thought. His mouth kissed down her stomach, and it moved to her most delicate area. He felt the welcoming moistness against his lips. Slowly, he ran the tip of his tongue down her wet folds, then up again.

"And I'll-ughfuck-, just call you mhhhh once I've b-been there," she said with a trembling voice. She ended the call while he started to lick fast circles around her swollen nub while pumping his fingers in and out of her dampness.

"Fuck you," she ranted at him, but the look in her eyes said something different, not fuck you but fuck me.

"You know what, I plan on just that," he replied with a grin before burying his face in her juicy goodness again. She moaned as she got closer. Matt felt her naked body tremble underneath him moments before she cried out his name and jerked uncontrollably as she came against his mouth.

"Now about that fucking you?"
