Matt rubbed his stomach forlornly as it growled miserably again. He leaned down and rested an arm on the open refrigerator door as he inspected the chilly white box's contents for the hundred and eleventh time in the last hour. Unfortunately for the starving redhead the state of the refrigerator had no changed. It still lacked anything that appeared even remotely edible. The only thing inside of the ancient icebox was beer, chocolate bars, and a takeout box of an unrecognizable gray mass. Matt couldn't even remember the last time they had ordered Chinese.

He hung his head in despair as his stomach once again growled in protest. He understood that money was tight. He understood that they needed to give up a few things. He was willing to cut back on cigarettes and have smaller meals but he was not willing to give up eating. He heaved a sigh and swung the refrigerator door shut. He was hungry enough to be tempted to eat one of Mello's chocolate bars but he wasn't quite that stupid.

At that moment the aforementioned blonde stumbled into the kitchen. He made his way over to the fridge and cracked open one of the few remaining beers.

"Mello, the fridge is empty," Matt whined.

"So?" the gunman asked with a shake of his head as he took a sip of the vile liquid.

"So, I'm starving. Feed me," the hacker commanded.

"Okay," Mello said with a chuckle as he slid his arms around Matt's neck, beer hanging from his fingers. He turned his head to the side with a smirk to catch the malnourished gamer's lips with his own. Without hesitation the blonde worked his tongue into Matt's mouth in a passionate kiss. The computer genius kept his hands firmly parked at his side in protest. The leather clad diva pulled away in surprise at his lack of reaction.

"I'm not kidding. Food, now," he said crossing his arms fiercely.

"Absolutely," Mello returned pressing his body against the redhead's. "I'll go get food when I'm out later."

"I'm serious," Matt adopted a look that allowed for no argument. "And to show how serious I am, no sex until you feed me." He gave a definitive nod, snatched the beer out of Mello's hands and waltzed out of the room. Behind him a dumbstruck blonde stared after him. He sighed and went to find a little money. He had really been hoping to get a piece of that ass tonight.
