As Matt and I sat at my desk and working on the case, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was. I chanced a look at Matt to see that he was working hard on his part of the case, he'd even taken his goggles off leaving his beautiful eyes exposed.
"What are you smiling at?" Matt asked, I hadn't noticed he'd turned his attention to me or that I was even smiling.
"Oh nothing, nothing at all!" I replied, trying not to laugh.
"Tell me!"
"Nope!"
"Please?!"
"No way!"
"Pretty please!?"
"Nope!" I said, laughing a little now.
"Pretty please with a cherry on top!?" He tried the puppy dog eyes.
"No!" I replied, cracking up laughing.
"Not even for a kiss?" He purred into my ear, causing me to blush furiously. He smirked, thinking he'd won.
"Not even for a kiss." I replied, giving him a chaste kiss anyway. He quickly turned back to the case and hid his face slightly behind his hair, although he wasn't quick enough to hide the blush from me. "If you must know, I was thinking about how lucky I am to have someone like you." I decided on telling him and I turned my own attention back to the case.
When nothing was said back, I wasn't worried. I knew that he was blushing even more by the way his pen dug into the paper he was writing on. I chuckled slightly as I took a bite of my chocolate and concentrated even harder on the work in front of me. There was no way Near was going to beat me! Especially since I had Matt on my side!
Two or three hours later, the bell for dinner rang however I didn't budge. I saw Matt get up from next to me and stretch out his arms above his head. "I think that's the longest I've gone without even thinking of playing anything!" He announced, sounding proud of himself. "But we should really get something to eat…"
"I'm not hungry." I said quickly as I compared two different bits of evidence. 'There has to be some way they connect…' I thought to myself, frowning slightly.
"But you haven't eaten anything all day!" Matt reminded me. I sighed and held up my fifth block of chocolate for the day. "Fine…I'll bring something back for you…" He mumbled, leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
I sighed and slowly put my pencil. I felt bad, and not because I'd eaten too much chocolate. No, I felt…guilty. He was my boyfriend and I'd made him leave without so much as a goodbye or a 'thank you for thinking about me!'
"What am I thinking?!" I said out loud to myself, this was no time to give into guilt. I had to get this case finished as soon as I possibly could! I didn't have time to feel guilty or hungry. I had to spend every waking hour I have on this case! I had to beat Near… I just had to…
I turned back to my work and set pencil to paper, smiling to myself as I finally figured out the connection between the two pieces of evidence from before. 'Now we're getting somewhere!' I thought, still smiling to myself. The case was moving along steadily now, there was no way I was going to come second. Never again!
It wasn't long before Matt came back with soup for me to eat. "You have to eat sometime." He said as he placed it down on the desk next to me. "And I mean more than just chocolate." He told me, eyeing all the chocolate wrappers I had scattered around me.
"I'll eat later…" I mumbled, still scribbling down notes.
"No. You'll eat now." Matt ordered.
"Later, I'm almost finished."
"Mello!"
"Later! I promis-" I started before Matt took the pencil off of me. "Hey! I need that!"
"No, you need to eat!" Matt said, frowning at me as he held the pen above his head and out of my reach.
"Matt! Please?! I was almost done!"
"Then it can wait until after you've eaten something! Please Mello? For me?" He demanded, although his voice started wavering by the end. He was looking away from me now but I could tell he was worried.
"Fine…" I mumbled, sitting down at the desk and grabbing the bowl of soup as the horrible guilty feeling came back. I ate in silence as I waited for Matt to calm down. I knew there was no use talking to him right now, it wouldn't help anything. "I'm sorry." I said once I was finished.
"It's okay…" Matt mumbled in reply, turning back to me with a wonky smile on his face. I felt my heart break, there was no way I'd ever do that to him again. Although I knew that we'd fight more in the future, I hadn't realised until now just how much I'd worried him. "Let's just get some sleep." He said, yawning.
"Okay." I replied, climbing into bed with him and kissing him goodnight. I still wanted to work on the case some more but I knew that right now I had to be with Matt, he seemed pretty upset.
