Matt looked down at his lover's sleeping face. How did I get here? Mello made a light snoring sound.
~Flashback~
"Mello, If you eat all that chocolate, you'll get fat." Matt said, slightly concerned as his crush took another bite of chocolate in his mouth.
"No one asked you, Matt. L says that if you use your brain, you won't gain weight. So, just shut up!!" Mello didn't look at Matt, he just kept starring out the window.
Matt felt the sting of tears. He said nothing as he left the room
~End Flashback~
Matt could feel the tears even now, six later, just thinking about that moment. Then smiled as he remembered that Mello had come looking for him not five minutes later.
~Flashback~
"Matt!!" He heard his name being yelled somewhere in the building. He was sitting on the stone bench, under the old oak. He didn't care that it was raining, or that he was wet and cold to the very bone. It hurt that Mello would say that to him.
The back door was shoved opened as Mello looked around franticly. Then he spotted Matt.
"Matt!! There you are! I'm sorry!!" Mello ran over to him, and fell to his knees at Matt's feet. "Please, I didn't mean it! I was upset, and I wasn't think straight! Please, don't be mad at me I'm--"
Matt silenced him with a kiss. Mello was shocked for all of two seconds before he took over the kiss. Matt let him. He liked the feel of being overpowered by the one he loved-- Do I love Mello?
Matt pulled away. As Mello tried to follow him, Matt gently put his hands on his shoulders to keep him where he was.
"Matt, what is it?" Mello was hurt and very confused. "I thought that's what you wanted. Was I wrong?"
"No, I do want that. It's just that I was thinking…" Matt trailed off and refused to meet Mello's eyes.
"What? Matt, come on, just tell me." Mello said as he pulled Matt off the bench and onto his lap.
~End Flashback~
"Hey, Matt? Where are you? You look really far away." Mello's sleepy voice broke through Matt's daydreaming.
"Huh? Oh, hey, Mello." Matt said as he looked down at Mello. "How did you sleep?"
"Fine but I still want to know where you were." Mello leaned upward to kiss matt lightly on the lips.
Matt pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. Mello moaned when Matt's tongue brushed his lower lip, asking a question. One that had been answered six years earlier.
