Matt- -Sitting on the bed of his and Mello's apartment, looking a game case up and down.-
Mello- -Walks into the bedroom, takes a glance at Matt and sits down at the computer.- Let me guess. You can't decide between Zelda and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe?
Matt- -Head jerks up.- Oh. Hey. Actually, you're half-right. It's between 'Zelda' and 'Xenosaga III'.
Mello- Right. Heard of the first one. Obviously. Not the second. -Looks at the desk in front of him, where the keyboard should be.- Matt? Why are your favorite Final Fantasy boxers where the keyboard should be? I need the keyboard.
Matt- You absolutely need it...? -Worried.-
Mello- Well I sure as hell could use it. I want to play some music. I need to get my mind off this damn Kira case for a little while. Near found another Kira suspect. -Grumbles to himself.-
Matt- Uhm... Well... The thing is... I kind of pawned it... For a good reason! -Scared Mello's going to hit him.-
Mello- What the hell, Matt? What do you mean you pawned it?! What the fuck for? We kind of need that for the Kira case! Unless you think you can hack into any system you so desire without it? -Is standing, fuming and turning red.-
Matt- -Rolls his eyes.- (Here we go...) -Stands and gets face to face with Mello- Well, you're obviously on your period today, so I suppose I'll explain. We have a shitty desktop. I pawned a shit load of my games and the keyboard and got us a laptop. We have a router, so it's not a problem. Now, do you need some Midol?
Mello- -Pulls out his gun from the front of his pants and points it at Matt's head.- Midol? You think you're funny? Listen, asshole. I am not, nor have I ever been a female. Nor will I ever become one. GOT IT? And second, you could have warned me that you got a laptop. Where the fuck is it?
Matt- Yes. Yes, in fact, I think I am funny. And just to let you know, Mels, you look like a chick. And as for the laptop... -Goes over to the bed and grabs the laptop from under the pillow. Hands it to Mello.-
Mello- -Grabs the laptop whilst simultaniously glaring at Matt and pointing the gun.- A chick? You seem pretty confident about me not shooting you. -Takes a step closer, putting the gun to Matt's head.- Why is that?
Matt- -Smiles.- Well, Mels... The thing is... -Presses his head forward until his forehead is touching the barrel of the gun.- ...I don't think you have the strength to kill me. And if I'm wrong, prove it.
Mello- -Presses the barrel into Matt's head with almost bruising force, then sighs, bringing the gun back down.- I only keep you around, you fucker, because I can make you hack shit for me. Otherwise I'd kill you.
Matt- You didn't have me hack shit back at the orphanage. What was your excuse back then?
Mello- -Looks around for an excuse.- Because you... Um.. Because you gave me chocolate. No one else ever gave me chocolate. Just you. There. I answered. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to listen to music now. -Turns to walk out of the room.-
Matt- Oh. Speaking of chocolate... -Pulls a bag full of chocolate out from under the bed- I had a little money left over...
Mello- -Walks back to Matt, giving him a big hug and a peck on the cheek.- You know you're my favorite person in the history of ever, right? Because you definitely are. -Smiles and grabs for the chocolate.-
Matt- -Smiles and blushes faintly.- Well that's a nice way to say 'thank you'.
Mello- For bringing me chocolate, there're a lot nicer things I could do. -Opens a bar of chocolate and takes a bite.-
Matt- -Laughs under his breath.- Nicer? Then get to work on being nicer, because I set you up for a while.
Mello- Yeah, you did. So I won't shoot you for the time that these chocolate bars last. Is that nice enough? -Smiles sardonically at Matt while taking another giant bite of the bar.-
Matt- -Laughs and pokes Mello's stomach.- Yeah, that's nice enough.
Mello- Oh good. -Sighs with relief.- I totally thought you were going to make me buy a new game for you, or something else. Who knows what your little brain would think of.
Matt- Well, I could have you dress up as a maid and call me 'Master' for the rest of the day... -Smirks.-
Mello- -Chokes on the current bite of chocolate and gasps for air.- Excuse me?
Matt- -Laughs.- You heard me. I'm not that mean though.
Mello- Yeah, sure you're not. Like you could make me do that anyway. You'd have a bullet in your head before you could touch me. -Pets the gun shoved into the front of his pants.-
Matt- -Shrugs.- I don't want to touch you. You're cute, but not that cute.
Mello- -Laughs, taking a step closer to Matt and rubbing up on him.- Aww, come on. You know you want me. Who doesn't? I'm a magnet. Not just a chick magnet, but a dick magnet too. You know it, I know it.
Matt- -Pretending he doesn't want to shove Mello on the bed and just take him right then and there.- Well, my dick's staying in my pants. You just don't have that special something.
Mello- -Grinds a little closer to Matt, putting his arms around his hips in the process.- You lie. -Smirks.- Even I want me right now. I don't even need to be in a maid costume for you to want me.
Matt- -Smiles, leaning a little closer to Mello.- Why are you so concerned whether I want you or not?
Mello- -Shrugs, still holding onto Matt.- I'm not concerned. I just want to make you admit it. I'm irresistable.
Matt- Nothing to admit, Mels. I don't want you..
Mello- -Dips his head and breathes into Matt's ear.- You lie.
Matt- -Shudders at the feeling of Mello's breath against his skin.- And if I do want you?
Mello- Oh, so you do want me! Ha! I win! -Kisses Matt on the cheek and winks.- You could have saved a LOT of time if you had just admitted it in the first place, you know. -Starts to walk away.-
Matt- -Blushes at the fact that Mello kissed his cheek twice within thirty minutes.- I never said I wanted you. I'm just asking 'What if?'
Mello- The question in itself affirms my suspicions. And the 'what if' part? Well, I don't really know. I haven't thought past the part of making you admit it.
Matt- Fine, I'll admit it. I want you Mello. And now I get to watch you think about what to do about it.
Mello- -Blushes, and hesitates. Then walks over to Matt.- To tell the truth, I want you too. I have for a long time...
