I hope this makes you feel something inside like it does for me. That was my goal. :) Please review.

Match

"What the hell are you doing?" Mello asked, still half-asleep.

"Am I not supposed to light this one?" Matt looked over at the blonde and gestured towards a scented candle on their bedside table.

"Matt!" Mello pushed Matt's hand away from his face and jumped out of their bed.

The match Matt was holding dropped, starting a small fire on the top sheet. Matt just smothered it with his hand.

"What the fu-"

"Are you ok?" Mello interrupted him, grabbing his hand and examining the palm. Matt scratched his head with his free hand.

"What is up with you?" Their eyes met and the morning light streaming in from the window highlighted Mello's burns.

"Oh, Mel, I'm sorry. I wasn't even thinking." Matt reached out but Mello turned away from his touch.

"Maybe you should be more damn careful, huh, Matty?" Mello got up and headed towards the living room of their small apartment.

Matt quickly came up behind him and wrapped his arms around Mello's slim torso.

"I still think you're beautiful, Mello."
