Several Weeks Later (about 7 a.m.)
I love you", Matt said. He kissed Mello gently. "Love you too", Mello replied sleepily. He looked at his alarm clock. "It's 7 a.m.", he complained. "Why aren't you sleeping?" Matt smiled. "I can't kiss you when I'm asleep", he told Mello. Mello smiled, and they kissed again. "Wanna shower?", Matt asked grinning. "Why not? As long as you join me…"
When they had finally left the bathroom and finished breakfast, Matt looked at the kitchen clock. "Shall we go to school now?", he asked half-heartedly. "We haven't skipped school for three days now", Mello said. "They have to be desperate to get rid of us. We'd be late anyway" Matt smiled. "So we stay here" They kissed. "Did you know you're healthy for me?", Matt asked. "I am?" "Oh yeah. I haven't been smoking for at least two weeks now" Mello grinned. "Yeah, I keep you busy", he admitted. Then they kissed again.
When L and Near came back in the evening, Matt and Mello had fallen asleep on the sofa. Mello lay on his side and Matt lay behind him, one arm around Mello's waist. "They're such a cute couple", L said gladly as he saw them. "They're the personification of laziness", Near disagreed. "I bet they skipped school again. I'm surprised that they wear clothes at all" "What should they do with their clothes off?" Near looked at him. "You need to ask?" L blushed. "How often do I have to tell you, they wouldn't do something like that? And of course they skip school. They're bored there" Near shook his head in disbelief, wondering if L really didn't have a clue what Matt and Mello were doing when they had "alone time" or if L just didn't want to think about it. "Wake them up", L told him. "I'll unpack the food" He left for the kitchen. Near took a pencil from the table and stabbed Mello with it, which was quite a rude, but useful way to wake him up. Mello jumped to his feet, and Matt sat up. "Can't you just be nice?", he asked. Mello sat down on his lap. Near grinned. "Of course I can", he said, "but I don't want to miss Mellie's reaction, it's just so funny" "Call me "Mellie" once more, and I'll shoot you", Mello hissed. "Be nice", Near said. "L and I brought some Chinese food, we'll have dinner now" They went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. "How was school today?", L asked. "We weren't in", Matt told him. "Oh, okay", L said. There was a minute of silence. "Mello", Matt finally said. "Yes?", Mello looked at him. "I love you", Matt said. Mello smiled at him. "I love you too", he replied. Matt smiled back. He took a deep breath. "Marry me", he said.
