Summary: xxxvi. Precious. He wanted to feel precious.
Precious
For someone who spent all his time hiding his eyes behind goggles and video games, Matt didn't like to be overlooked. He could have studied harder and tried to reach for the number one spot, but then he would have to give up a part of himself. He wanted to be seen for who he was, not for who they wanted him to be.
It wasn't that he wanted everyone to see him, either. He didn't care about Near or L or Roger or Linda. It was all for Mello. Everything he did was in the hope that Mello would look at him one day and actually see him. He wanted Mello to look at him like he was the only person in the world who mattered. He wanted Mello to look at him the same way he looked at Mello.
