Chapter 6

Matt:

I squirmed uncomfortably in my seat, trying my best not to stare at the blond on the other side of the table. Last time I glanced at him, he was happily drinking away at his hot chocolate. I could tell he had some weird fetish for chocolate.

As he finished the drink, I mentally hit myself over and over and over and over again. What was that earlier?! An inner voice of mine screamed. You kissed him! Kissed him! As in, shoving your lips onto his! What were you thinking?! You barely know him. What was going through your head, Matt? What? Matt?! MATT!

I was now vaguely away that Mello was waving a hand in my face. I blinked, slowly realizing that he'd been saying my name for a while now, trying to tell me that he was done and wanted to see L immediately. I followed his orders like a good puppy, taking the mug away from him. Our fingertips brushed each others the slightest bit, and my skin tingled. I swear I saw Mello smirking as I placed the mug beside the sink.

"Can we go now?" Mello asked straightforwardly.

"Mhm." I grabbed my furry vest--I love this thing--and my keys to my car. Mello followed me inside the car as I started the engine, and soon we were on our way to L's. During the drive, all Mello did was looking out the window, so I took the time to calm myself down and assert the situation.

Okay:

Situation: You kissed a guy you barely know. And now he's in a car with you

Reason for situation: What?! Don't blame me! He just looked so damn vulnerable laying there, and he looked so...

Possible solution: None(yet)

Thoughts: I'm a fucking idiot

"Matt? Hello, Earth to be-goggled nerd?" Mello was saying.

"Huh?" I said, dazed.

"You ran a red light, smartass."

"Oh. Okay."

"And there's a police car chasing us."

"Oh, okay."

"And I really don't want to get in any trouble. I just want to get my puppy back."

"Oh, okay."

"MATT. Are you fucking listening to me?" Mello sounded pissed, so I shook my head in an attempt to awaken my senses. Truth be told, there was the sound of a police siren wailing in the background. I looked in one of the sideview mirrors and groaned.

"Step on it," Mello said, sounding evil.

"What?" I asked, looking over.

"Step on it." His eyes glinted with excitement. "Lose 'em."

"What? No!" I was appalled.

Mello, being the courteous person he is, decided to do it for me and leaned over to apply pressure on my right leg. His touch burned and I pushed my leg down, trying to get away. It, to Mello's satisfaction, only succeeded in speeding up the car. With his other hand, he lowered his window and yelled loudly. The wind carried away his voice.

The police car was slowly fading from the mirrors as I tried to dodge cars that we were quickly going past by.

This continued for a while, until we were miles out from the city. L liked secluded areas, and naturally, he picked a house that was shrouded in a forest not far ahead. Mello's hand was still pushing down my leg, and I quickly found out that I didn't really mind. We were still going at one-hundred miles per hour, but I'd gotten used to it. There were no other annoying cars now, anyway.

The blond was now grinning, breathing hard in exhilaration.

"Did you enjoy scaring the crap out of me?" I queried calmly.

"Yes," he replied breathlessly, flopping back into his seat.

The silence that followed intrigued me, so I looked over. Mello's eyes were shut, a small smile on his face, and something told me that his life had been very boring for a while. My stare lingered at his face for a moment longer.

He looked so...calm...

Eyelids snapped open and azure eyes widened. "Matt!" Mello suddenly shouted. "Tree!"

"Eh?" I looked back forward and it took me .4 seconds to realize that I'd missed a turn. There was a large tree that was getting larger by the second.

And we crashed into it. With a rather loud boom, I might add.

Heh heh, my attempt at a cliffie. Sorry for the shortness of this chapter! -_-'
