Mission nine: Birthday outing

Mello shoved his hands into his pockets strolling behind the red head. They had parked several minutes ago though he was still unsure where they were going. He wasn't even sure why he had allowed the other to talk him to going out and doing something together but it felt good to feel significant to the other though he knew he really wasn't. It didn't matter as long as it was just the two of them and no one else was around. He sighed jogging to catch up to the red head who seemed to be observing everything they passed.

It was a cold winters night and Mello's birthday though the blond didn't think he knew. He had heard the phone call come hours ago as Mello quickly headed back into his bedroom without shutting the door Matt heard everything. L had wished Mello a happy birthday and the blond returned blushing like a little kid that had just been surprised. The least he could do was spend the night with the blond but he wasn't sure if he should tell the other he had ease dropped on his conversation or not. He chose not to just to keep that confused blank look on the blonds face as he grinned running behind the other and covering his eyes.

The blond sighed, "Matt, what the hell are you doing?" He asked feeling the others breath on his neck when he laughed. He smirked, "I swear this better not be anything bad." He frowned walking forward when the other prompted him to. He was trusting the red head not to do anything crazy. The hands were removed after the blond heard a bell as he looked around a chocolate shop filled with the sweet scents of his addiction as he looked at the red head who was still grinning. "...Matt?"

The red head smiled pushing him forward again, "Go ahead. Get anything you like it's my treat, love." He said crossing his arms. "I'm not too much for chocolate but I'm sure that you'll love everything in here I found it just for you." He watched as a blush formed on the blonds face as Mello turned away from him. He wrapped an arm around the others shoulder, "Come on Mell, it's your birthday you hid it from me. Yeah so what, I thought we were closer than that but I guess not. Go ahead, my treat and hurry up they have to make it so we'll pick it up later most likely tomorrow. I have one more place I want to take you."

Mello nodded slowly but he didn't say anything just happy that the shop was empty besides them and the workers. Matt had took him out for his birthday and even wanted to buy him things. he felt bad for not telling the red head but he passed over that guilt bending down to look at all the different desserts picking out a few and ordering. He looked back at Matt who nodded with the okay though it was a pricey amount he wondered where all of Matt's money was coming from now a days. He knew the man used to hack and then he became an agent and hacked on the side but all he had seen him do was sit on the couch and play his video games. Maybe the red head had some kind of secret life or he was a trust fund baby.

"Thank you Matt." Mello mumbled as they headed back down the street together the other just nodding as if it were nothing. It wasn't nothing, no one had ever really gotten him anything for his birthday even a phone call from L was surprising. He suspected the man to be calling him about the case not to tell him that he was a year older. Frankly Mello was surprised someone like him had lasted in this type of world for so long.

Matt turned around walking backwards through the streets, "Okay so I was out with Sasha last week and yeah we were partying but I found this club...it wasn't a type of club that I would take Sash to but I thought it would be nice for an occasion like this. Only if it's for a good laugh." He grinned running down the street Mello raising an eyebrow. Only for a laugh? What was the red head on this time? It wasn't particularly uncommon for him to wake up to find Matt strung out on something but he seemed to know how to pace himself well the red head was still a user of all sorts of things. He shivered just thinking about it. The man harming that beautiful body by putting toxins into it.

He followed half suspecting for Matt to just be talking as they approached a night club that was just beginning to fill. He joined Matt in the line raising an eyebrow watching the others in line. There was something ringing odd to him about all of this even as the clearance to enter it didn't hit him. When he saw the groups of men on the dance floor and the bartender serving men he realized Matt had brought him to a gay club. Ha. Ha. It wasn't a laugh Matt but the red head continued to pull him along to the bar ordering them a round of drinks. He sat grudgingly unsure what to say. He decided to allow his mind to dote on the chocolate and not register the other was currently classifying him as a fag.

"Matt why did you bring me here?" He yelled over the beating techno leaning closer to the red head who stared blankly. He sighed leaning a bit closer until he was right at the others ear lowering his voice, "Why did you bring me here?" He asked again as the red head shrugged handing him a drink. He took it wondering if Matt was trying to tell him something about today. The man was so confusing but he was sure Matt viewed him being the same way. He leaned forward again to the others ear, "Matty I'm not gay." He said seriously allowing his personal nickname for the red head slip but he didn't show him. Again the red head shrugged. How irritating. He leaned once again, "Then what the fuck did you bring me here for?"

Matt leaned back pulling off his goggles his eyes dilated as Mello sighed. The red head was high on something but that wasn't surprising. He did still believe that Matt was out with him because he really wanted to be and not because he was high. He rolled his eyes away drowning the drink shaking his head.

Matt frowned leaning forward, "What did I do?" He called over the music as Mello pointed to his eyes. "Oh that?" His eyes shifted a bit, "I did it before I found out it was your birthday...sorry." He apologized though it didn't seem to be real. Mello shrugged feeling the red head tug on his vest pulling him up. "I'll make it up to you." He called though the words were lost in the echoing music as the two of them moved through the bodies onto the dance floor. If you really called it dancing. It was more of body to body dry sex. Plenty of grinding and it all looked a bit too intimate. He was positive God would strike him down for something like that as Matt stopped in the middle of the crowd.

Mello frowned thinking the two of them were going to leave this hell home. Instead Matt pulled the blond forward forcing his hands around his own waist before joining the rest of the crowd in the sensual motions. He couldn't help but finding himself moving against the red head in the same kind of movements placing gentle kisses on his neck watching Matt squirm. What he wouldn't give to be at home during a time like this but he'd feel as if he were taking advantage of the other if he were to touch him like this. He wondered why this wasn't crossing the line to him?

He laid his head on the red heads shoulder listening to soft mewling leaving him. He panted as Matt leaning back locking lips with the blond both of them fighting for dominance until Mello won it over exploring the red heads mouth. The boy was high out of his mind and he was playing tonsil hockey with him on the dance floor of the gay club. Eh. It was his birthday he'd take what he could get. He ran his hands up the red heads shirt caressing the tender skin as the boy groaned surprisingly still moving against Mello.

Matt was completely under his control almost sickeningly so. Almost. He pulled the boy away from the crowd of dancing people pressing him against the wall in a darkened hallway kissing him frantically. He could feel the red head melt under him wrapping his arms around Mello's neck moaned softly as the blond ran his fingers over the others body pressing him harder against the wall listening to his groans and pleas for more. He braced himself kissing the other a final time smirking, "Matty." He saw the eyebrow raise, "You'll be mine. Just not right now. Not here. Not like this. I'll take you away from her properly." And with that he pulled away from the red head strolling out of the club.

[Yeah, Mello gave up his chance for birthday sex in a hot gay bar. But that's just him. His attitude is becoming interesting none the less though! Anyway, do you think I'm teasing you guys with all of this? Should I continue with their relationship or go back to the case? Personally if no one tells me I'm going to the case and giving them a break. Review and tell me what you think of the recent chapters. How you think it's going and what you think should happen!]
