The next day was rainy and dreary, the apartment was cold from the air being left on all night. Matt was still passed out on the couch as Mello creeped through the living room to get some cold pizza for breakfast. "What was his deal last night..." Mello mumbled to himself after getting a cold pepperoni and sitting at the small table in the kitchen.
It was about 9 in the morning and Mello wasn't usually up this early, he went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth then decided to rouse the red head laying on the couch. "Matt" he whispered and nudged his arm, "get up sleepy head" Mello nudged him again and slowly the redhead's eyes opened and when they saw Mello they shot straight open almost instantly.
"Well I know I'm not the prettiest sight to see in the morning but you don't have to look at me like that" Mello scoffed as he playfully slapped Matt's cheek. "You actually are.." Matt said coyly as the slender blonde walked back into the kitchen. Mello stopped and turned around, "What?" Matt shook his head, "oh nothing never mind..." Mello shrugged and sat at the table.
It took Matt a second to remember the wonderful dream he had about Mello... He tried to shake the after thoughts from his head as the mental image of Mello in just a towel on his lap continued to pop up every time he looked at his blonde friend. Matt slowly got up off the couch and joined Mello in the kitchen and attempted to try to interact normally with him.
Mello smiled as Matt sat across from him, "so how did you sleep buddy?" He asked in such a cute voice Matt couldn't help but blush just slightly, "oh pretty good I guess" Ever since that dumb dream every time he looked at Mello strange thoughts would go through his mind making him want the blonde.
"any dreams?" Mello took a bite of his pepperoni
"oh not really... just one about Portal.." Matt nervously replied.
"oh really? what happened in it?"
"well me and you were both in one of the testing areas when suddenly the test began and I made it but you fell into a pit of fire..." Matt quickly lied to hide the actual truth of the scenario.
Mello rose an eyebrow, "well that would explain you moaning my name out I guess.."
Matt blushed, "Did I say anything else?!"
"no, I went to bed after that."
The two continued talking and finally Matt was able to get Mello off the topic of his dream the other night and on the topic of work. "so what time do you work today?" the redhead sipped some tea he had brewed later this morning. "I go to work at 3 and I'm off some time around 7 or 8, depends on how busy we get." Matt nodded, "well I've got no jobs today so I'll probably just sit back here and play some Halo or Half-Life or something."
About an hour later the two were playing flood mode on Halo 4 and Mello had just got infected. "Damn it!" he yelled as one of the higher ranking players creeped up on him. Matt laughed, "noooo! Mello! I shall avenge you!" he yelled laughing as he stood off against the whole team of infected (including Mello) and held out for a good 30 seconds before being infected himself.
"Dude that was intense" Matt said smiling at the blonde sitting next to him. Mello smiled back, "yeah for you anyway, I was out in like the first 10 seconds..." The Halo game returned to the main menu as Matt turned the Xbox off. "well you're not a gamer Mello" The blonde nodded in agreement and leaned back more on the couch, his shirt raised up slightly to show some of his midriff.
Matt hadn't thought about the dream all day until that point, then that image popped into his head and he immediately looked away, "damn it.." he muttered. Mello opened an eye and looked over, "What's wrong?"
"oh have you ever seen anything you want so much but you just can't have, but its always in front of you like a carrot on a stick?"
Mello shrugged, "no not really why?"
"oh no reason, no reason at all" Matt said sighing.
Mello looked over at his redhead and noticed that he was down today. They were close friends since the crib and if something effected one then it effected the other just as much, but this time it was totally one sided, something serious was bothering Matt. "whats wrong dude seriously" Mello gave the redhead one of his attentive looks and sat crisscross on the couch facing him.
Matt blushed and looked away, "I told you it was nothing dude" Mello shook his head, "I know it isn't nothing, I know you more than you know yourself sometimes so tell me whats wrong." Matt let out a long rush of air and feeling as though he was sitting at a doctors office about to be told he had cancer he was nervous, was he actually going to tell him his feelings?
"Mello..." he said shaking.
"yes Matt?"
"You know the bread that we bought just the other day?"
Mello slowly nodded trying to understand why Matt was worrying about a loaf of bread going moldy.
"umm yeah..?"
Matt fidgeted a little, "well it's all moldy and stuff... so we don't have any raisin bread.."
Mello burst out laughing, "is that seriously all that was bothering you?" Matt blushed and looked down, "don't you have to go to work soon?"
The blonde looked around furiously, "god what time is it?!" Mello looked back at the clock, it was 3:00, he had to work at 3:30. Matt watched as the blurry yellow figure ran back and forth getting his work clothes and his leather bike gear. He stopped at the door and slipped them on. "well I guess I'll seeya when I back" Matt waved his hand and suddenly decided to get up and give Mello a well deserved hug. The blonde looked blank then pushed Matt back awkwardly as the redhead smiled, "have a good day at work!" Mello smiled back "I will" Then he was out the door and gone.
Matt sat on the couch wondering what to do, he lied to his best friend about what was bothering him and now he was home alone with nothing to do. He turned on the xbox and flipped through his list of downloadable games, nothing looked good up on the shelf and he was too lazy to get up and put a game in. So after thinking over and over he finally decided to play far cry blood dragon.
After about a few hours of collecting things on blood dragon Matt decided to eat some dinner and maybe watch a tv show or something. He walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge searching for food. There were 3 pieces of pizza left over from breakfast..or last night.. or whatever, but Matt wasn't feeling like pizza. Looking through the phone book he finally found a Chinese fast food place that could deliver. After giving them a call the redhead laid back on the couch and flipped on the tv and started up Netflix.
"something to watch... anything..." after scrolling through the list for a while the door bell rang, Matt jumped up and went to open the door. The fast food delivery guy stood there holding out the ghetto paper bag towards Matt, "that'll be 17.35" Matt dug his wallet out and paid the delivery guy and squinted at his name tag, "why thank you Light Yagami, nice name by the way" The delivery guy rolled his eyes and muttered something before walking off down the hallway.
Matt flipped around and plopped back onto the couch with his wonderful Chinese take out... well I guess you could call it Chinese "brought in" now. Matt placed all his food out on the coffee table in front of him and looked through the cartoon section on Netflix. "hmmm My Little Pony?" He said looking both ways for some reason making sure nobody was nearby or watching him in any way whatsoever.
"I guess I could just watch one episode..." Matt shrugged, "besides! what else is on?" The red head selected the first episode of MLP and started eating. About 3 hours later at around 7 o'clock he found himself watching more and more of it. "oh my god..." Matt looked at the TV then back at the remote in his hands, "what have I become?" The last episode of the season flickered off as soon as Mello walked through the door. Matt looked up and quickly shut off the TV.
"hey dude, whats the shocked look for? you look like you just got caught watching porn or something." Matt looked down for a moment, "oh nothing... just ate some Chinese..." Mello saw the food on the coffee table, "did you get any for me?"
"yeah its in the fridge" Matt ate an egg roll.
Mello opened the fridge and grabbed up some cashew chicken and fried rice with an extra wanton. "boy you know me so well" Mello chuckled.
"so how was work?"
"oh it was okay I guess, I mean apart from one of my managers over analyzing EVERYTHING and blaming me for stuff I didn't do half the time, but other than that it was slow.." Mello's wanton crunched and crumbs flew all over his shirt as he grabbed the remote, "lets see, what have you been watching?"
Matt blushed and waited for the epic scolding he would get when Mello saw My Little Pony on the recently watched list. Mello looked over at Matt "dude..." Matt slowly looked up at the TV then at Mello "yes?" he said nervously. "I didn't know you were a brony.." Matt flinched expecting a punch but instead Mello just looked through the episodes of Breaking Bad. "you mean you're not gonna punch me or laugh or anything?" Matt ate a couple more peices of chicken. "of course not dude, bronies are cool, besides you're my best friend, if you're a brony then you're my best brony friend" Mello smirked.
"you know.. school starts back up again next monday" Matt sighed and leaned back on the couch.
"yeah yeah.. don't remind me.. I don't want to deal with that dumb math teacher I have almost every year.. plus I have weights class this year..."
Matt smiled, "dude I think you would rock at weights!"
"with these flimsy things?" Mello pinched his arm, "I don't think I'll be lifting much at all."
"well at least we can drive to school this year instead of taking the bus." Matt ate another egg roll whole.
"you've got that right... I hate the fucking bus"
Note: Don't worry, I'll get an actual plot up and rolling pretty soon, ya see it's gonna be like Bleach with a bunch of different story arcs that don't really get anywhere (JK Bleach is a good anime, even though its a bit long for my taste) Hope you enjoyed the latest chapter!
