Just a lil drabble for Mello's birthday. Happy 21 birthday Mello! Enjoy being legal!
"Wake up Mihael. It's your birthday sweetheart."
"Mom." Mello breathed sleepily, looking around the room. Just him, just Matt. Sighing Mello stood and gathered his clothes heading to the bathroom. Giving a sad smile he whispered to the mirror.
"Happy birthday to me." Once dressed he walked out of the room, pausing to look at his roommate. Matt. Mello would never admit it, but he cared for his best friend. Shaking forbidden thoughts from his head he walked over and shook the gamer.
"Matt, wake up. It's time for class." Matt groaned. He had been up all hours of the night.
"Go ahead without me." Mello shook his head as he gathered his books.
"How you stay third is beyond me."
"I'll see you later, Mello."
"Yea." Mello closed the door behind him. All during the day people noticed that the usual fiery Mello was, well, mellow. The absence of Matt was also noted. He didn't know why he was so upset. He had been at Whammy's for years now. Birthdays were just another day on the calendar. No one even knew it was his birthday. Glad the day was over he walked to his room, tossing his books on the bed. Looking up he noticed a chocolate cake on the desk in their room.
"What?"
"Um, happy birthday, Mello." Mello jumped.
"Matt? What? How did you find out?"
"I was hacking yesterday, I found our files…I saw it was your birthday. After that I thought I would make you a cake. Whisk helped me…" All day Mello had been feeling rather apathetic, but now a bubble of happiness appeared. Grinning he hugged his friend.
"Thanks, Matt."
"Come on! Blow out the candles! Don't forget to make a wish!" Mello did as asked. Please, let him feel the same way. Please Grinning happily Matt picked up the knife and plates.
"Well, let's eat it!" Laughing the two boys ate the cake and raided their stash of soda. Finally the cake was gone, and with it the evening light.
"Matt, thanks. This was the best birthday ever." Matt looked down, shuffling his feet.
"Um, I have one more gift, but I'm worried…" Mello cocked his head to the side.
"What is it?" Blushing Matt leaned over and pressed his lips to his friend's. Mello was speechless.
"Did you just kiss me?" "Um, yea. I'm sorry I mean…I…" Mello grinned kissing Matt back, cutting off his desperate backpedaling. As their tongues brushed Mello could taste the chocolate frosting from the cake. Mello beamed.
"Best birthday ever."
"Hey, Mello? Does this mean we're dating now?" Mello just laughed before kissing the red-head again.
