Chapter 28
"Call"
The next night, the phone rang in Kaori's suite.
Matt and Mello tried to listen in at first, but then went back to their room – uninterested, as she waved them off and sat down.
"It's probably Near," Matt said, sprawling out on the bed with his hands behind his head.
"It's strange. I used to think about him all the time back at the orphanage. Now it's weird not having someone to occupy my thoughts all the time."
"What are you talking about?" Matt teased. "Don't I always occupy your thoughts?"
Mello smiled. "But that's in a good way. I'm saying it's different not having someone to hate."
"How about hating your father?" Matt suggested.
"Not a half-bad idea, though it's a different kind of hate."
"You know..." Matt said, standing up and walking over to Mello, touching the other boy's face. "If Kaori is talking to Near, she'll probably be on the phone for a while. We'd have plenty of time....."
Mello gave a small laugh. "I actually think I've missed it as much as you. It's been different."
"For me too," Matt said, gently pushing Mello down on the bed and pressing their lips together. "I love you, Mello."
"I love you, too, Matt," Mello replied, his breath hot against Matt's face as he ran his hand along the other boy's back, slipping off his shirt.
"You're already hard," Matt commented, smirking a little as he straddled Mello's lap.
Mello blushed a little, but then smiled. "You know, I've always wanted to try roleplay..."
"Really? And what would your role be?"
"I'll leave that for you to decide."
"Very well – lie down," Matt instructed softly.
Mello silently obeyed, and rested on his hands and knees, exactly the position he had always forced Matt to take at the orphanage. The only difference was that as Matt rested behind him, his touch was gentle, soft – not rough, and hurried, like Mello's had always been.
"There isn't anything I can use," Matt whispered apologetically.
"It's fine," Mello replied, his voice slightly breathless. Even when Mello had never worried about hurting Matt, the other boy had always taken careful concern when it was his turn. He had always taken his time and a great amount consideration to be gentle and easy with Mello.
Kaori put the phone down and gave a sigh. The call had surprised her, that much was certain. The fact that Mello's father even remotely cared where his son was at this point was an even bigger shock. She thought for a minute, and then walked to the guest room, peeking inside through the door.
A blush immediately crawled up to her face, and she quietly shut the door, reaching up to knock. However, she hesitated just before, having second thoughts. There was no point in bothering Mello with this information now. She would wait until tomorrow, at the very least.
-End of Chapter 28-
Shikirou-chan's reaction to the last part of this chapter went something like this: "DOOOOOOD, she walked in on them having smex? I wish that were me!"
Ahaha. I think all fangirls do. Though, personally, if I had been in Kaori's place, I would've kept watching! Ahaha.
