Upon seeing Mello dash out of the room, Matt quickly rushed out. 'H-Hey, Mello! Mello!' Matt cried, chasing him, knocking into a few of the passer bys standing in his way. 'Shit!' Matt kept on cursing in his mind, ' Mells took it the wrong way! Shit! How the hell could he ever think that I'll like that white haired freak more than him? How dare he!' With that thought in mind, Matt hastened his steps and ran fervently in the hopes of being able to catch up to Mello.
Finally catching up to the blonde, Matt knew that this was his make it or break it moment. Throwing his whole body weight onto the back of Mello, he pinned his arms down and tucked his head in the crook of Mello's neck, ' Hey, Mells,' He whispered, his breath tickling Mello's ear, ' I know that you're probably pissed off as hell with me as to why I am talking to you so late. But, I have something I definitely need to tell you.'
Flipping Mello over, Matt strengthened his hold over him and looked him directly in the eyes. ' Hey, Mello. I know you probably never would have noticed this but, to me, you're really precious. I thought you knew this from before but I guess I have to make it clearer for you.' Knocking his head on Mello's, Matt declared, ' No one could ever compare to you in my heart. Not Near, Linda or even L.'
After a few moments, Matt finally realized what he had done. ' Oh my gosh! D-did I just confess to Mello? W-what should I do now?' Matt thought, his eyes widening in realization.
Unbeknownst to Matt, Mello was also flaming red, the same thoughts were running through his head. The duo were petrified of what the opposite would do. Both had insecurities in their hearts. Insecurities of rejection, being played and awkwardness flashing through their minds. Was it really worth it to let another person be able to control you? Your emotions with simply a single word? They glanced at each other and immediately knew the answer. They knew that if they were to choose to do nothing, or simply write it off, there would never be another perfect chance like this.
Thus, grabbing his hands gently and clasping them together, Matt blushed an even brighter shade of red and asked his beloved blonde, ' S-So, Mihael Kheel, I r-really like you,' With every phrase Matt grew more and more nervous, however he forced himself to continue, 'I like you the best in Whammy's, no fuck that, the whole world. And I definitely like you more than Near.'
To say that Mello was surprised would be an understatement. His eyes bulged out, his face blushed scarlet red and his mouth was wide open. At that point of time, Mello didn't care about his appearance, disheveled looks was the thing furthest away from his mind. All he could focus on was what Matt was saying, his mind emphasizing every single word Matt said. Soon, when the gravity of the situation finally caught up to Mello, the blonde grinned. His lips stretched throughout the sides of his face, his blush enhancing his natural beauty whereas his hair simply framed his face beautifully. Taking a deep breath, Mello mentally gave himself a prep talk, despite it being horrible, he still managed to do it. However, nervousness soon overcame him and he began blabbing out whatever came to his mind first, ' Hey, M-Mattie, um.. t-thanks for liking me this much. I feel really really happy now and it's all because of you. Truthfully, I'm really stressing out in my head right now what to tell you, but it's because I'm just very very happy to find that you like me the best in the whole wide world where there can be so many more people you can like, but you chose me! T-thanks, I didn't have anyone tell me that before, you are the first and, ' Taking a deep breath, Mello braved himself and yelled, ' I really like you too, Mail Jeevas!'
Squeezing his eyes shut, Mello waited for Matt's response. After a few seconds of waiting, he opened one eye and saw his red haired boy's look of pure joy, before finally, said red haired enveloped him in a warm hug. ' I n-never thought that anyone would say this to me. Thank you, Mells.' Burying his nose in Mello's hair and breathing in his scent, Matt held him close and preciously.
Although surprised, Mello felt his happiness take over him as he wrapped his own arms around Matt and replying, ' Thank you too, Matty.'
The duo then stared into each other's eyes, cherishing this moment, before leaning in and having their lips graze each other, so ever slightly, before it got interrupted.
'See Near? I told you that they will definitely get together! You so owe me a day with you now!' came a female voice, excitement evident.
The white haired boy simply smirked at her and said, 'Well, would you look at that, guess I was wrong this time, huh?'
By this time, both Matt and Mello were out of their stupor. ' W-were you guys betting on us?' came Matt's voice, dripping with venom.
Linda tried to salvage the situation, however Near simply replied with a challenging tone, ' Yes.'
Mello felt his eyes turn to slits, and said, ' Well, Matty, what do you think we should do to these so very concerned people regarding our relationship?'
Upon hearing Mello's question, Matt grinned, 'Hm… why not we return the favour tenfold?'
Hearing those words, both Linda and Near began running, whereas the chocoholic and gamer began their chase bearing wide grins on their faces as they held hands throughout.
