Chapter 10! 10! 10!! Finally a double digit number! Whoo! Enjoy!
Matt woke up with a note on his pillow. Of course he knew it was from Mello. He sat up and opened the envelope:
Meet me at the library at around noon. We don't have to talk, just want you to hear something…
The library… Ugh! Hasn't he suffered there enough already!? The red-head continued to stare at the note as he scratched his head. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go. Well, of course he didn't want to, but he might as well. Mello should get as many chances as he should right?
…
The boy sat on the floor, leaning against the wall and just on the other side was the library. He was actually waiting to see what Mello was going to do. He decided to go just to see what new he had to say. He was eager, determined. He wanted so much to get back with Mello again. To have an excuse other than just wanted him back. He was desperate. The red-head looked up at the huge clock on the wall. It was 5 minutes to 12. He sighed and stood up. Might as well stand outside the library and wait… He turned the corner and right when he made it to the doorway he noticed that Mello was already in there. He was about to call his name until he saw the albino sitting just a few feet away from him. And he was playing with his damn puzzle again. Near? Why is Near with him? Is he… trying to rub it in my face…? Matt shook his head. No way.
Before Matt became too depressed the first voice he heard was Near's, "So… What do you need?"
"Near. Why'd you do that!? What you did before? I still don't get it?"
"Idiot, you still don't? It-"
"No! You know what!? Forget it! I don't need to know! Because of you I haven't talked to him in more than a week!" Mello snapped, "Do you know what it does to me!?"
"Obviously I do now…" Near replied with a straight face.
Mello stood straight, staring down at the ground, "He even… locked himself in his room for a day…" Matt gasped. Mello…
Near sighed, "I am… only a minor obstacle for you two. If you couldn't make it through this, then… What would happen if a permanent one stood in your way?"
What would happen…?
"I know we will," Mello started, "because… Matt knows I'm not telling a lie anymore." The blond turned towards the door, "Right? Matt?" The red-head stared, wide-eyed at the ground while brushing his hair back.
Matt exhaled, "Why would… you do that? Near?"
Near shrugged, "To test you I guess… I love to observe."
Mello slammed his foot to the ground, "You son-of-a-!"
"Look. I did you guys a favor. If you guys want to stay together you're going to have to start trusting each other more. Start seeing the flaws in your relationship and fix them."
"Thanks, but mind your business next time." Matt replied and then sighed, "I'd like to go now." He walked out while Mello followed.
Near sighed and shook his head, a smile on his face, "Fools…"
…
Matt plopped onto his bed and covered his face, "Sorry… Mello…"
The blond closed the door silently, "Dude, would you stop saying sorry. It's really getting annoying."
"No." He shook his head, "I keep messing up with you. I jump to conclusions, I-I can't trust you," He sighed, "Surprised you haven't left me yet." Matt laughed at his own stupidity.
"Matt-"
"Near was right. There are too many holes in our relationship."
Mello laughed, "Then let's fix them."
"You say that so easily…" Mello crawled on top of Matt.
"See? You're doing it again! Stop being so negative!"
"Sor- okay…"
Mello tightened his fists, "Then let's get married."
"Married? Please Mello!" Matt's eyebrow rose.
Mello lowered his face, "Then let me at least have a kiss. You've kept me waiting for quite a while." The blond took Matt's face and forced his lips onto his. They both felt weird, not having done it for a period of time. Matt struggled, trying to stop shaking, but he couldn't. He felt so exhausted now that he knew that Mello wouldn't leave him. (And it was about time.) Now he was so happy to touch the boy's body he was shuttering. Mello noticed and stopped, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Matt shook his head, "It's nothing." The red-head wrapped his arms around Mello's neck and kissed him again. The older kissed him back, pulling the boy's body closer 'till there was no space left between them. They both rather enjoyed the feeling of being together again, but Matt felt hot-headed now. He separated his lips from Mello's and took a breath. He rested his head on the blond's shoulder, "Damn…" He replied. "I'm not used to this anymore…" He chuckled.
Mello smiled, embracing him tightly, "All the more reason to keep going!" He pulled Matt down onto the bed.
"Wha-! Mello!"
He laughed, "Just as cute and innocent as you were when we first did this." Mello licked the boy's bottom lip before nudging for entrance which Matt gladly accepted. He missed the way Mello tasted every inch of his mouth. Their lips separated again, Mello putting his lips to Matt's ear, "Love you."
Matt turned red. Was this another joke? No. He was going to trust Mello from now on. The red-head smiled, "Love you too."
