Matt smiled down at the sleeping face in his lap. He stroked the soft blond hair and stared out the dusty window of the apartment. The redhead yawned and watched the stars, the reflections of the cars on the streets, watched the flashing billboards all over the city of New York. The stereo behind him played a soft, soothing, sad – the most amazing love song written. It sang Mello to sleep, the blond in his lap shifted and sighed gently.
"Deep in some blissful dream, where the goddess finally sleeps, in the lap of her lover...Subdued in all her rage..." The stereo cooed out softly. The cars on the streets honked and puttered along, puking toxic gas into the atmosphere of the Earth. Matt, his only love, Mello, they were oblivious to this poisoning. "I wanna dance with you...I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds, and lead us back to a world we would not face..."
Matt closed his eyes, listening to the song, the breathing of the blond in his lap, the sound of the distant cars. The stars above them glittered down with a horrible jealous glow. Matt knew it was a jealous glow, because no one could outshine Mello.
No one, not even the brightest star in the universe, not even the brightest neon sign, Matt could never imagine his lover being outshone. "Deep in Fijian seas...deep in the heart of it all, where the goddess finally sleeps...after eons of wars and lifetimes, she's smiling and free...nothing left..."
The blond woke up, as the cars on the street and the neon signs in the distance and the stars in the sky darkened. Matt smiled as his lover sat up. Mello blinked innocently a moment later and latched onto the redhead.
"Mm...what a song to wake up to..." he mumbled against Matt's chest. Matt chuckled quietly and kissed Mello's head. "The island king of love..." Mello sang as he looked up at Matt. "You. You're...this island's king of love..." the blond laughed. Matt laughed too.
The stars and signs and cars faded then. No longer heard or seen by either boy, oblivious to the world. The song on the stereo was the only thing they heard other than each other.
"You're my goddess then, Mello..." Matt murmured as he kissed the blond for the zillionth time.
