Thar be smut ahead, arrgh!
Mello didn't respond for a moment as he felt the hesitant kiss, but was jolted back to awareness as Matt pulled away and stared up at him with tear filled eyes.
"M-mello, I'm so sorry, I should've known you didn't want me, I'm so stupid oh god I'm just going to leave, I'm so sor-" Matt was cut off as Mello pressed a harsh kiss against his lips, silencing him as he was pushed backwards, the blonde hovering over his prone form.
"Matt,you're my one, my only, the only human I can ever love without killing. And I do love you, Matt, I would die for you if I had to. I would go to the ends of the earth and back just to keep you happy."
Matt seemed stunned at first, but responded by pulling Mello into a searing kiss, moaning as the blonde pulled his leather vest off, swiftly followed by Matt's shirt as well.
Mello gazed upon the body beneath him,marvelling at the skin that was nearly as pale as his own, with a lean amount of muscle gracing the human's wiry frame.
Mello leaned over Matt's body, encouraging the red head to remove his jeans as he divested himself of his trademark lace up leather pants.
"I love you Matt. Do you really want to do this?" Mello took the smouldering kiss he received as a positive, and pulled away, lavishing attention upon the body below him, relishing the moans that he could entice from the red head's mouth.
Moving further down, Mello dipped his tongue into his mates naval, soaking in the moans he heard come from those delicious lips.
Pulling away yet again, Mello reached to his bedside table, retrieving the bottle of chocolate scented oil that he always kept there.
Pouring a generous amount onto his fingers, Mello moved down to Matt again, gently circling around his entrance before gently pushing one finger into him.
Matt hissed, but didn't tell him to stop, so Mello added another finger, scissoring them gently so as to cause as little pain as was possible.
Staring deep into Matt's eyes, Mello added a third finger, muffling the small cry of pain that Matt made by occupying his mouth in a slow, gentle kiss.
Adding a fourth finger, Mello's eyes teared up at the cry of pain Matt made, his ears protesting at the sound of his mate in distress, the gentle mewling below him ripping at his un-beating heart.
"Shh, Mattie, shh, I'm here, I'm here, I promise I'll be gentle. Mattie, do you want me to stop?" Mello took Matt's rather violent head shaking as a no, so he removed his fingers and coated his member in a generous amount of the chocolate scented gel, before smoothly sliding into Matt, hushing his cries with gentle words of love.
"Shh, Matt, I love you... No one can hurt you any more... Shh, it'll be OK..." Mello's heart felt like it would be ripped out of his chest as Matt cried, but he tried to make the red head feel better, staying absolutely still as the red head adjusted, gently kissing away the tears that rolled down his mate's cheeks.
"Mello.. I love you." Mello barely heard the whispered confession, but it felt as though Matt had ran into his life, grabbed his heart and would never let go.
Mello started moving, revelling in the gasps he drew from the red lips. Leaning over, Mello kissed Matt, slipping his tongue into the moist cavern as he hit Matt's sweet spot, muffling the groans from the red head.
Mello, sensing Matt was near, unsheathed his fangs, scraping the points across Matt's neck before carefully sinking them into the pale flesh. Matt groaned as he came, Mello following seconds after;.
Matt sighed contentedly, his head resting on Mello's chest with an arm loosely draped around the blonde vampire's stomach. Mello was just as content, his arms wrapped protectively around his mate as he relaxed, drawing patterns in the skin at the base of Matt's spine.
"Are you OK Mattie? Your neck doesn't hurt too much does it?" Mello questioned, his face betraying the anxiety surrounding his mate's well being.
"I'm fantastic Mello, my neck hurts a bit but if that's the only thing I have to go through to be with you, I would happily rip off my own neck." Matt smiled as he neared the end of his mini-speech, laughing as Mello growled playfully, pushing him onto his back and hovering over him, flashing the formidable points of fangs that only a few days ago would have terrified him.
"You'll never have to do that Mattie, here, I'll heal it for you..." Mello leaned over the red head's neck, carefully licking the blood from around the two needle-like puncture marks, running his tongue over them to seal and heal them before kissing Matt on his full red lips, making the red head laugh as he rolled him over to straddle his cool waist.
Matt grinned from his position above Mello, leaning over to place a chaste kiss on his vampire's lips.
"Why do I feel like this Mello? Why is it that form when I met you, My heart races when I'm near you and I feel sick when you leave me?"
"We're mates Matt, neither of us has much of a choice in these feelings, if you hadn't wanted this I would've left you to your life, but neither of us would ever have been truly happy with any partner. As my mate, you can stay human, but you'll age, and I won't. Or you can wait for a while, until you look around my age, or even older if you want, and you can be turned. Or I could turn you as soon as you want, but I would advise you think of it, and carefully. Being turned hurts Mattie, and though I'm your mate, and I would be able to take some of that pain for you, it will be permanent. You can't be human again if I turn you."
Matt lost his smile as Mello went through his speech, essentially giving him an ultimatum of be turned, and drink blood, be immortal forever, and live with Mello, or he could grow old and die.
"I love you Mello. But I want to spend a few more months human. Since it's September now, let me wait until new years. I'll have made my mind up by then."
Mello nodded, placing a kiss on Matt's lips and laughing as the red head scrunched his nose up, complaining about the taste of dried blood.
"I love you Matt. Never think I don't."
A/N bwahahaha cliff hanger! not really. OK, the next chapter will have a bit of a time skip, and I know I've totally ignored my promise about highlighting and lemons, but I want this to be as close to the layout of an actual book, which would never warn of a scene ahead. This is an M rated fic, if you aren't up for hot gay smex, choose a different rating.
