I quickly wrote a second part. I know it was taking too damn long and I can only thank you guys for being so very patient and not killing me just yet :)

The next part... my exams are starting soon, and will end a few days before Christmas. Perhaps around that time, you can expect some more.

In the meanwhile, keep reading and especially giving reviews, since I'm a review-whore xD srsly, those things make my day.

"Hey."

"Hi."

He gave me a playful peck on the cheek, and I turned away to hide my blush. Over the years, the usual "hi" had transformed into a hug and every now and then it became this casual kiss. Did he even realize how much this small gesture meant to me?

"Ugly, huh?" Mells asked me.

He probably thought I was eyeing the Valentine's decorations.

"Ow, uh… yeah. There's pink everywhere. It's giving me a toothache."

"I know, right? All this commercial crap is just sickening."

"…"

"Though it's always nice to get some free chocolate."

I quickly glanced at him, but when I noticed he was staring back at me, looked away again.

He kept talking.

"But you are probably more of a "flowers"-kind of guy."

I just nodded, hoping that would shut him up. Talking about Valentine's Day and gifts with my biggest crush…

"Are you giving me chocolate this year, Matty?"

I looked back at him and tilted my head in confusion. "Mells, I give you lots of chocolate. You always get a piece from me. Haven't got some with me now though. Do you want me to go buy –"

"I mean, as a Val – Erm, like, special chocolate for…" the rest of the sentence was just some soft mumbling.

I could only respond in one of my most frequent used words: "Derp?"

Now Mello was the one to look away. I thought I saw a faint blush, but wasn't 100% sure about that. What was the meaning of …

Oh.

"Never mind, Matt. I was only kidding."

Someone called his name, and Mello went back to his little fan group.

I didn't follow, for my entire body felt frozen.

Did he know?

Did he know I had finally decided to grab my chance and show Mells how much I liked him? Or was he really just kidding?

Love is fuckin' confusing.

Remember kids – love is "fucking confusing"! If your love is "confused fucking", it isn't real love!
