Mello's POV

The crunch was on. It was already Wednesday, my last day to study! I had to make sure everything was perfect. I had to know everything! During classes I took notes like crazy. I made sure I had every little thing written down.

I skipped lunch so I could go over everything and make sure it was all perfect. Matt came and disturbed me at one point but I barely acknowledged his presence. I had to keep working. When classes were finally over, I packed all my stuff and made sure everything was good to go.

I quickly rushed back to the room and plopped down at my desk and quickly spread all my papers out, ready for a long night of studying. I quickly organized everything by subject and then set to work.

I'm not sure how much time passed before I heard Matt call me, saying something about dinner.

"Mells, I mean it. You can continue studying after we eat. Now c'mon, let's go eat." He said in a stern voice.

"Not yet." I replied quickly, rewriting a few math problems. "Just... a little... longer."

"Mells, you sound just like me when I don't wanna stop playing my video games. Go down to dinner, now. You'll regret it later if you don't." Matt demanded.

"No."

"Damn it, Mello! Now!" He shouted and I quickly looked up at him. His hair was messy, fists clenched and his eyes were wide and full of emotion. I felt bad…

"..." I tried to say something but I didn't really know what to say.

"Mello, please, I'm worried about you." Dammit. I shouldn't be making him worry, he doesn't deserve that.

"... alright..." I said quietly as I got up from my chair.

We made our way downstairs and collected a few slices of the pizza they were serving. I was pretty hungry, I have to admit but I really wanted to get back to studying. I did feel bad for making Matt worry but I also knew he didn't fully understand.

Plus, I'm sure he'd forgive me after the tests were done and I finally beat Near! I began eating really quickly, trying to scarf it down as quick as possible so I could go back to studying.

"Mello, slow down!" Matt commanded.

"Ouch!" Some really hot pizza sauce burned the top of my mouth.

"What?" He asked, looking concerned.

"Fuckin' pizza... burned my mouth..." I mumbled slightly.

"Then slow down."

"But... but I have to keep studying, Matty. I can't keep losing... I-I have to beat Near this time- I have to!" I tried to reason with him.

"Mells, I understand," He started, looking at me with concerned eyes and placed his hand over the one I had resting on the table. I felt myself blushing. "But, just please... calm down. You're gonna choke on your food. Your notes will still be there when you get back."

I nodded and went back to eating at a slower pace. We finally finished, took our trays back and returned to our room. I quickly found my place once again at my desk, burying myself in my notes.

I was in my own world, like nothing could break me out. I was soaking up all the knowledge like a sponge. I had to learn everything and I knew I would. I was completely in focus for, I think, hours.

Finally, something broke me out of my focus, Matt calling me. "Huh?" I looked up over at him.

"Take a break. Play a game with me." He replied.

I shook my head and turned back to my notes. "I don't have time for games."

"Mello, relax." He told me.

"No... have to beat Near..."

"But why does it even matte-"

"Because it does!" I snapped back, interrupting him.

Matt was silent for a moment before I heard him speak again, quietly, and from right behind me. "Just... spend a little time with me..."

"I..." I hesitated for a moment. "... don't have time for games..." I tried to focus on my work again.

"You don't even have enough time for me, Mells?" He whispered and I could feel his breath on my ear. My face instantly began to heat up and I shivered. I turned to look at him, a little confused.

He kissed me then, gently. I was expecting it now, actually. I kissed back a little but I knew he was only trying to distract me from my work. I pulled away and quickly turned to go back to my work.

Suddenly, my chair was spun and I looked up at Matt with a surprised look. He was looking back with a glare but the look was almost just… determined.

"M-Matty?!" I barely got it out before his lips were back on mine. Harder this time but god, it felt good! I tried to pull away again, knowing I had to get back to work but he laced his fingers into my hair, holding me close. I finally gave in and wrapped my arms tentatively around his back.

After a few moments, we finally pulled away, panting a little. "M-Matty... I... have to... h-have to... study..." He shook his head and kissed me again. This time deeper, slipping his tongue into my mouth and it sent my head spinning.

My stomach was erupting in butterflies, it felt so good. He tasted so good. I wasn't expecting it but aside from the obvious pizza taste that still lingered, there was something that was just pure… Matt. Our tongues mingled, colliding and battling. I finally gained control of the kiss as I held him tighter to me.

I felt his knee force its way between my thighs to rest on the chair. Dammit, I was getting turned on. His leg was just lightly brushing my crotch but that plus the electricity flowing through me from our kissing was definitely enough. I tried to hold back but I let a few moans escape me. I really hopped Matt wouldn't be able to feel just how tight my pants were getting.

Suddenly, he pulled away and looked down. Shit! "I-I..." I tried but quickly just put my hands over myself and looked away, panting and blushing furiously. "M-Matt... I... have to finish my homework. Cut it out." I found my voice.

"You gonna take notes like that?" He said and laughed. Bastard.

"..." I glared at him. Then he did something very unexpected. He got up and knelt in front of me, his hands going to the front of my jeans and undoing the button. He couldn't be! Would Matt really do this?

My heart was pounding so hard and I couldn't peel my eyes away from him. I was getting harder by the second, just thinking about what was happening. He couldn't be serious, could he?

"Matt..?" I spoke softly, but he just unzipped my pants and began tugging them off. He took them and my boxers off completely. Part of me told myself to make him stop but to be completely honest, I didn't really want him to….

He placed his hands on my hips, just sitting there, my erection inches away from his mouth. "M... Matty? W-what're you- hah! Nngh..." I tried but my words broke into a moan as he took my tip into his mouth.

He continued to move his tongue, probably just experimenting around, but it felt so good! I was moaning like crazy, I knew, but I couldn't stop. Although I don't think either of us wanted me to. He ran his tongue along my slit, making me cry out his name and fist my hands in his hair and push him down.

He went farther down, scraping me with his teeth a little, causing me to shiver. I let out a loud moan as he took more of me into his mouth. It felt so good! I tried bucking my hips up a bit but he held me down tightly so I couldn't. He bobbed his head up and down, sending me into bliss.

"Matt... Matty..." I moaned, biting and releasing my lip. I knew I was close, I could feel the familiar sensation coiling. "Matt... I'm gonna... M...at... Matt!" I tried to warn him but I released into his mouth before I could finish.

He pulled away as I was still climaxing and fell right back onto the floor, and broke into a coughing fit. "Matty!" I called out and quickly hopped of the chair to kneel in front of him. I placed my hands of his shoulders. "Matty, I'm sorry! Are you okay?!"

He nodded after a moment and finally stopped coughing. We were silent for a moment but I finally leaned in and whispered, "... Thank you..." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he nodded again, still trying to catch his breath.

I looked down and noticed that he was also a little turned on. I wouldn't mind returning the favor… especially after that. But he stood up quickly and turned around away from me.

"Matt?"

"Just relax for the rest if the night…" He said quietly. "Please."

"Matt?" I tried again. He rushed into the bathroom. I quickly grabbed my boxers and pulled them on and walked up to the bathroom door. I knocked, not really expecting a response but hoping nonetheless.

When I didn't get one, I spoke, "You too..." I went back over and sat on my bed. Wow. Just wow. I can't believe what just happened but it was amazing. I know Matt was only trying to calm me down, get me to stop studying and relax for a while but he didn't have to go that far… But he did anyway.

I heard the shower come on and sighed. I guess he wouldn't be coming out for awhile. That's probably a good thing. What would we even say to each other after that? I will not let things get awkward between us, but its probably best to just leave things alone for tonight.

But the way his lips felt on me.. and the way he kissed me- oh my god! I smiled to myself. I don't really know what's going to happen now, but I have a good feeling- and no, its not just my post orgasmic feeling.

I sat at my desk, deciding to do a bit more studying, just to make sure everything was in my head. I swore I wouldn't overdo it though. I kept listening and when I heard the water turn off, I quickly got up and went to climb into bed. I faced the wall, how I usually slept and closed my eyes.

I heard Matt come out and I continued to pretend to be asleep. I heard him approach my bed and then he placed a soft kiss to my temple. I smiled a little. I heard him do some shuffling around and then I heard the door click.

I quickly turned over, brows furrowed, to look around the room. Where the hell was he going? I looked at the clock. Its almost curfew! Where would he be going at this time? He always tells me where he's going.. Although he did think I was sleeping…

Maybe he just needs to think things over.. Just needs a break from the room. I sighed and lay back down. I didn't think I'd be getting much sleep tonight but I had to try. Tomorrow is the first day of testing and I have to do perfectly!

I will admit, Matt did help me to relax.
