Quick Little Note: Matt is speaking about Mello here, and his relationship with him here is merley born out of a theory of mine.
"That man," Matt said softly, " Doesn't treat you very well, doesn't he?"
"No, he doesn't… he treats me real badly… but…" Misa turned her gaze away from him as she finished talking. "I love him… and as long as I can…" Make him happy, she wanted to say, " Be useful to him… I'm happy…"
The two were sitting on a bench in a moonlit park, and Matt just managed to get Misa to confess a part of her life that she never shared with anyone before. She didn't know his know or who he really was- she didn't care that she never met this stranger before, but the fact that she could, next to him, be human, was enough. She retired from her career and yet acting took over her life- she acted next to Light to convince him to keep her alive, she acted whenever she talked with another person generally- and the moment this person admitted that he placed his life in the hands of another person, she felt that she could tell him a lot, if not everything that she's been keeping for the past few years.
"You love him…"
"Yes… or maybe it's not love, maybe I'm doing nothing more than having my own life depend on him, maybe it's just a complete dependence on another person… I don't know if you understand-"
"Oh, I understand. I don't understand what you feel for that person… but, that person- he is using me because I'm helpful, but what he is doing… is also risking his life… if he dies, he'll probably take me with him, but I don't think he would… emotionally- care if I die."
"And yet you let him risk your life along with his anyway."
"Yes. I chose to help him… and I don't regret it."
The question to why he lets himself depend on another person was burning to come out of her, yet Misa didn't want to know the answer- and didn't have a chance to ask when she realized that Matt just increased their physical closeness.
No. "Matt, it's not going to-"
Matt's sudden movement didn't let her finish her sentence, and used the moment to press his own lips against hers- and the kiss ended as quickly as it started.
It felt strange and alien to her, to be kissed by someone other then Light- and Misa felt a sudden urge to leave out of the feelings, but Matt stood up and left with a short and quick goodbye- and Misa herself left shortly after.
