A/N: Mello's POV

Love?

Ha! I Mihael Keehl find no use for this word, this sad little overused word. I have no need of its troubles or anxieties. The relationship with my partner in crime Matt is not love, no I refuse to say, much less think I love that carefree I'm-playing-videogames-whether-you-like-it-or-not redhead.

For God's sake he's always griping because I won't let him smoke inside! It's not my fault he wants to die of lung cancer, and I'm not going to put myself at risk if I can avoid it! Then he's always playing those damn videogames and hogging the TV, bastard. What probably annoys me the most is his smartass comebacks! I mean I've had a rough day and he has to say something like,

"What's up? Looks like you had a pretty shitty day. You get run over or something?"

Neh... Bastard needs to go buy me some chocolate.

Good qualities? Yeah, Matt's got em, though he hides half of them. Example, that sexy toned stomach he hides in a striped shirt that's too big. Damn...

Beautiful.

Matt's got this weird thing of making me smile and laugh, even if I don't want to. God I'll never figure out how he does it! And when I'm angry and upset, and quite frankly ready to put my boots up someone's ass, he wraps me up in warm arms till I calm down.

Don't think I'm in love cuz I'm not! I, Mihael Keehl, am not in love and never will be! Love is stupid and... and... just dumb dammit! I will not let such a stupid emotion, a word in the English language get in the way of my thoughts. No I refuse to believe in that cursed word! That's final. Now returning to my past thoughts before I interrupted myself...

Matt's got lots of good qualities, mental, emotional, and physically. Trust me, the physical is a rollercoaster of fun. I respect his intellect, despite the fact sometimes he should just admit I'm right and he's wrong! Loser... Anyways he's useful to have around he's very helpful in the search for Kira. Don't even get me started on that bastard...

I wish Matt would just hurry up and get home. Jesus Christ Matt where are you?! Did you decide to stop in Gamestop of Best Buy? Why can't I relax?! No, it's not because Matt isn't here, that can't be it. As if the redhead can read my thoughts he opens the front door grocery bag in one hand. There's a bag from Gamestop hanging on his arm.

"Hey Mells! Miss me?" He grins in the cutest manner.

God did I ever.

He walks over and leans down giving me a lovely 'I'm home' kiss. Sweet as ever, despite the slight tinge of ash. His kisses are so bittersweet. I've become greedy for them, always wanting more, and he always supplies.

Though I hate to admit it I do have an odd sort of affection for the mismatched misbehaving gamer. I'd kill any mother fucker that hurt him or even glanced at him the wrong way.

"You bought a new game..." I mutter in slight displeasure. He'll be in his room playing it nonstop now.

He laughs and catches me by surprise kissing me once more. Damn asshole... All I can do is kiss him back. Damn you Mail.

And I realize...

Mihael Keehl loves Mail Jeevas...

End of Love
