Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note!
It was beginning to seem like just another night stuck inside waiting for Light to come home, again. Misa had thought coming to L.A would change things but it was the same as if they had stayed in Japan. Either way Light would ignore her for work. She was growing tired with it. Was it too much to ask to be appreciated every once in a while?
Apparently to Light it was. All he cared about was if she was doing what he told her. As long as Japanese criminals were dying he could care less about her. Her eyes were all that mattered to him but she was determined to change that. She knew if she tried hard enough he would love her for her. She's just been doing it wrong all these years. It was time for a new strategy. For now on she wasn't going to be so easy. He was going to have to work for her affection. She also decided that she would have fun again.
Glancing at the clock she realized it was only 5:00. That was plenty of time to get dressed up nice and pretty to go out. With that in mind she got up off the couch and headed towards the bathroom where she cleaned herself using her best smelling products. Once done she dried herself before wrapping the towel around her dripping hair leaving the rest of her body uncovered. On her way over to her closet she stopped to admire herself in the full-length mirror. She twirled every other way admiring how flawless her skin looks until finally deciding to put some clothes on.
She searched through her closet a good fifteen minutes before finally finding the perfect dress. It was a little strapless black dress she brought in hope that Light would take her out for a romantic dinner. Since that wasn't going to happen she was happy she got the chance to wear it out somewhere. Deciding to forgo her bra she slipped into some lacy black panties before sliding on the dress. After that she put on light make up and finally took the towel off her head to blow dry it out. As she was doing that she plugged in her curling iron. When her hair was completely dry she proceed to curl random sections of her hair until it looked just the way she wanted. Then she sprayed on just enough hair spray to hold it without making her hair too stiff.
Once again she found herself in front of the mirror. That's when she realized she wasn't wearing shoes. Quickly she grabbed some heels and threw them on before running out the door. She didn't feel the need to leave a note since she would most likely be home before Light anyway. So she made her way to the club a few buildings away. The moment she walked through the door she felt excitement course through her as she was pressed against the crowd. Dancing her way around she felt exhilarated and free for the first time in years.
Matt just wanted to escape. He needed to get away from the looks of pity Mello keeps shooting him. Okay so he understands they just broke up the other day but that doesn't mean his life was over. He would get over it and move on eventually but he didn't want to lose the friendship that have. That was what worried him the most because if Mello kept it up he knew he wouldn't be able to take it. To help with that he left the hideout and moved into a cheap motel on his own. Thinking that being away from Mello would make things easier, it didn't though. All he had to keep himself entertained was he games but even those were becoming redundant. He knew he had to do something else or he would go crazy.
What he needed was a distraction. Or at the least he needed to prove to himself and Mello that he could move on, was ready to move on. So he shut off his Xbox and laced up his boots before heading out. He wasn't quite sure where he was going just that he was going somewhere. So he walked around for a while until he came across a club blaring his favorite song. Checking his wallet to make sure he had his fake ID first he made his way inside stopping only to flash it to the bouncer. Once in he quickly made his way to the bar. And that's where he stayed for 37 minutes and 15 seconds, people watching, before he saw her.
She was incredibly beautiful. He was mesmerized by the way her hips swayed to the beat of the music so effortlessly. The rest of the room seemed just as amazed by the girl. Both men and women stopped to stare at the blond beauty as she danced. When the song was over he watched as she moved to rest against the bar, breathless and red in the face. Deciding to make his move before some else could snatch her away he scooted over to her right as she was giving her order to the bartender.
"Put the lovely lady on my tab." Matt says tossing a credit card at him. He was happy that it was one of Mello's men or else he never would have gotten away with it. Also if she turned out to be one of those women that took advantage of guys generosity it wouldn't matter. The bill was going to Mello, it was his card anyway.
"Got cha." The bartender says looking over at the girl and giving him a wink. Matt had to suppress a grin. If only he knew that just a week ago Matt was fucking his boss. It was fairly amusing.
"Arigatou," she said, "I mean thank you." She corrected herself.
"I'm Matt by the way." He tells her extending his hand out to her.
She seemed to have glanced above his head quickly before taking his hand, "Misa."
"So what's a beautiful girl like you doing alone at a club?"
"I just needed to get out. It's no fun being stuck in a hotel all day no matter how nice it is." She replies with a shrug. "Besides there's only so many hours of Fable one can play before growing tired of it."
Matt felt his eyes grow wide as she finished her sentence. Not only was she incredibly hot but she played video games! He wondered if this is what love at first sight felt like because if this was Vegas he would be proposing now.
Misa was upset when she realized the cute guy had given her a fake name until she glanced at it once again. She would go by a different name too if her name was Mail. Then just when she was thinking how nice it was talking to him she messed up. Girls playing video games are not cute! He wasn't going to want to talk to her anymore after she let that slip. She could tell by the way his eyes grew so wide.
"Oh stupid Misa! Boys don't like that. Stupid, stupid, stupid." She mumbled as she slapped her forehead.
Matt quickly grabbed her hand so that she couldn't hurt herself and laughed. "No need to hurt yourself love. It's not a bad thing. In fact I find it pretty sexy."
"Really? Because my boyfriend found me playing once and he didn't like it." She told him with a pout.
"Oh you have a boyfriend?" he asked sadly then mumbled to himself, "Of course she does."
The heartbroken look on his face made Misa feel bad. Now she really knew she messed up. He was going to leave now and she will be alone with only the occasional pervert hitting on her. She really liked talking to this guy and he was so adorably cute! Like really, really cute. Not quite as much as Light, no one came near to his sexiness, but defiantly a close second for sure. That didn't matter though because she was never going to see him again anyway.
"I do but I'm not sure how long it's going to last. I love him more than anything but he doesn't love me. We've been together for six years but I'm not sure how much more I can take." She admits surprising herself.
"Ah I just got out of one of those myself. I was with my best friend."
"How long were you two together?" she asked.
"Seven years but he was my best friend way before that."
"He? Looking at you I never would have guessed you were into guys." She teased.
"I'm not trust me. He was the only one besides looking at him one would think he was a girl. This one time we went out and the waitress told me how pretty my girlfriend was," Matt laughed, "He was so pissed."
Misa let out a loud laugh at that. "Oh that poor guy."
"Nah he can take it, he's a big boy. We laughed about it later that night," he paused. "Um I apologize in advance if this is too forward of me but would you like to go somewhere more quiet? I'd really like to talk to you more but I can hardly hear you."
She downed the rest of her drink and nodded. "Sure but can we go get something to eat? I'm starving."
He shot her the most adorable smile. "Yeah that's fine. I know the perfect place!"
With that they made their way out of the club and into the night air of L.A. They walk about a block when Misa started complaining about her feet hurting her. Matt glanced down at the six inch heels the girl was wearing and started wondering how she got this far before complaining, they looked painful.
"I don't understand why you women have to wear those death contractions."
"They're cute." Misa pouts.
"Yes they do look wonderful on you but how can you even walk in those things?"
She just shrugged and pouted more. Matt couldn't help but think she looked so adorable pouting like that. So he took pity on the girl.
"Well would you rather I carry you there in my arms or give you a piggyback ride?"
He watched her eyes grow wide in excitement before she started jumping up and down clapping. "Piggyback ride! Piggyback ride!"
"Haha alright climb on," He laughs bending down so she could get on. "Just watch your dress."
Misa squealed loudly before jumping on his back. Checking to make sure her dress covered enough before Matt walked them to their destination. They got there in no time. Once they sat down Matt pulled his pack of cigarettes. "You don't mind do you?"
"Not at all."
"That's good. Most people hate the smell and give me dirty looks whenever I lite one up." He tells her taking a drag.
"Not me. I actually find the smell comforting. My father was a chain smoker when he was alive so it reminds me of him."
"My mother was the same way. I actually started since it reminded me of her." He tells her.
"It makes me cough too much. So instead I would buy a pack and just smell them whenever I would start missing him. Is that weird?" she asks.
"Nah I don't think so. Whatever it take to help you through losing those you love."
She gave him a small smile before taking a sip of her coffee. "Mhm. It's still hard though."
"Yes it is. When I lost my mother I thought my life was over. She was the only family I had left and I loved her. It killed me to lose her."
"My parents were murdered in front of me about seven years ago. I haven't been the same since." She tells him softly.
"Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that. No one should have to go through something like that." He says grabbing her hands. "It's bad enough just to lose a parent."
A tear escaped her eye. "I miss them so much."
"Hey don't cry." He says wiping the tear away before taking hold of her hand again.
He then changed the subject and within seconds had her laughing again. It made him feel good that he could make her laugh so easily. Before they knew it they had been sitting at the restaurant for over two hours. They would have stayed longer but it was closing time.
"I guess it's time to carry you home then?" Matt asked her as they left.
She pouted rather cutely. "I'm not ready to go home though."
"Then what would you like to do?"
You she thinks to herself. Realizing her thought pattern just went there she slapped her head. She was so shock she could think something like that about someone she just met besides she loved Light, right? There was no reason for her to be thinking about ripping the clothing off this gorgeous guy in front of her. Of course then she realized she really, really wanted to rip his clothes off. Besides when was the last time Light actually had sex with her?
"Um I don't care really. I just don't feel like going back yet."
"Well you could come back to my place and play video games?" he suggested with a shrug.
"Ok!"
"Alright cool."
With that she once again jumped on his back. On the way to his place they made jokes about the people they saw around them. It made the long walk seem like nothing. By the time they got to his apartment they couldn't stop laughing. Misa was having more fun then she had in years and Matt hadn't thought about Mello in the longest. Upon entering the apartment Misa kicked off her heels at the door and plopped down on the couch as Matt hooked up the other controller. He tossed it to her as he jumped on the couch next to her.
"Ready to get beat by a girl?" Misa teased playfully kicking his leg.
"If you do it will only be because I let you win." Matt shot back throwing his arm around her.
"We'll see about that."
"You're on."
Matt started off the game by holding back until he realized Misa could defiantly hold her own. Before long it turned into an all-out battle between the two. They were tied and everything rested on this last game.
"I think we should make this a bit more interesting, if I win you have to give me a 15 minute foot massage and if you win, well you can chose what you win." Misa suggests.
"Alright then. If I win you, you, you, well damn I can't think of anything that would be appropriate." He admits scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
She giggled. "You're so cute!"
Matt blushed while grinning a cheesy grin. "Can't really blame me love, you're a beautiful woman."
Misa giggled again before leaning over and kissing Matt's cheek, her hand placed at the top of his thigh. His blush deepened about three shades. She moved to his ear, "That's fine Matty boy because you're going to lose anyway."
She then pulled away giggling madly. Matt was shocked still. It took him a minute to recompose himself but once he did he shot a glare and the blond.
"Oh you're going down now Blondie!" he says giving his full attention to the game.
"That foot massage is going to be amazing!" Misa squeals picking up her controller.
"Nope I'm going to win."
"You never even said what you get if you win, not that that's going to happen."
"I'll decide once I win." He smirks.
"Just don't hurt yourself for nothing because I will win."
They continued bantering throughout the rest of the game. When the game was over they both stared at the screen, frozen. It took a full half a minute before either made a move.
"Victory! Misa wins!" Misa screams throwing down the controller and doing a victory dance.
Matt just stared at the screen in pure disbelief wondering how it was that she just won. He didn't come out of this trance until a foot was in his face. Laughing at the whole situation he took her foot and began massaging it all the while shaking his hand.
"You're an amazing woman Misa. No one has ever beaten me before."
"Yeah I know I'm pretty amazing. And I think since you're being such a good sport about getting totally owned by a girl I'll give you an award, once you're done of course." She giggled.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Fifteen minutes later…
"And done, now about that award?"
Misa chuckled before moving to straddle his hips. She tossed her hair back and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning her forehead against his. They stared into each other's eyes both wanting to continue but still hesitant. Until Matt brought a hand up to cup her cheek. That's all it took to get things started. Misa couldn't remember the last time she was kissed with so much want from another person. Kisses with Light felt forced and rushed but not this one. With Matt it seemed he couldn't get enough of her and it felt wonderful! And he tastes amazing like cigarettes, coffee, and something that could only be described as Matt. She was so reluctant to pull away from him but she was in desperate need of oxygen.
"Wow." She said catching her breath. Matt allowed her three more big breaths before capturing her lips again. As their tongues locked in a battle Misa slipped her hands under his shirt. She ran her hands up and down his chest a few times before deciding just to take it off.
"What about your boyfriend?" Matt asked after she threw his shirt across the room.
"He doesn't want me so I see nothing wrong with finding someone who does."
"Who said I want you?" he asks teasingly. She smirk and ran her hand down his chest to between his legs then cupped his erection through his jeans.
"He did." She whispers nibbling on his ear.
"Fair enough." He manages to say around a moan.
Misa then went to work trying to unbutton his jeans but they just didn't seem to want to come undone. Matt took notice of this and grew nervous.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Like completely sure? Cause once we do this there's no going back." He asks, his voice shaking.
"I'm sure. Are you?"
He nods, "I just don't want you to do something you'll regret."
"Don't worry Matt even if I do end up regretting it I won't blame you. But I doubt I will."
He smirked at that then lifted her up. She let out a squeak out surprise that quickly turned into a giggle as he carried her to his bedroom. He silenced her with a kiss as he kicked his door open then closed once they were inside. Laying her gently on the bed Matt climbed on top trailing sloppy kisses down her neck.
Once they both had the best orgasms either of them have ever had the two cuddled together, basking in the afterglow. However as they laid there neither could help comparing their new found lover to their old one. Or rather they began to dwell on how much they have been missing out on. Misa for one was not used to having a partner that actually cared about her needs. Also Matt was the one to cuddle her which she loved since she was used to Light rolling over when he was done and ignoring her the rest of the time. Matt wasn't use to having a partner so willing to do what he wanted. Mello would always bark out orders during sex. It was a nice change. Of course there were a lot of other tiny things too but those weren't as important.
Turning to face Matt, Misa pecked his lips before placing her head in the crook of his neck. He kissed the top of her head before nestling his face in her hair. They stayed in that position until they both peacefully fell into a deep slumber.
