"Um… Matt?"
Mello peered around the doorframe, his eyes wide with surprise. Mello wasn't surprised a lot, but upon the sight of Matt curled on the floor in only his boxers, crying and laughing at the same time, he had rights to be surprised.
Especially because he was hugging MarshMello. And by MarshMello he meant the teddy bear, the fuzzy golden teddy bear that smelled like chocolate, the teddy bear with one button eye missing, the teddy bear that was so ratty from overuse and musty from later underuse, the teddy bear that Mello hadn't seen since their Wammy's days, when Matt insisted on sleeping with it every night (and naming it after him).
Matt blinked the tears out of his eyes, hugging MarshMello tight against his chest with a half defensive, half tearful, and semi-loving expression in his deep green eyes. He peered up at Mello with such expression, which immediately made Mello's defensive confusion melt into worry and adoration, something nobody but Matt could do to him.
"Matty, did something happen…?" he inquired carefully, slipping through the doorframe to crouch beside him. The sight of a grown man cuddling a teddy bear was strange, at least to most people, but Mello had seen much stranger in his time and was now simply worrisome. "Did something happen? Thinking about… that again?" By that he meant the explosion or Mello leaving him years ago, one of the two, since as of now had been the only reasons Matt ever broke out the bear.
But Matt shook his head, burying his face rather cutely into the fur of the teddy bear. "No," he murmured, a pouted expression in his eyes. Mello raised his eyebrows, hesitating a moment before speaking. He wanted to comfort his (boy)friend, he really did, but the thing was… well, Mello wasn't exactly good at comforting people, especially not Matt, since he got upset for the most ridiculous reasons. What with the whole Steve/Resident Evil freak-out (he cried often when video game charecthers died you see), Mello had found it difficult to take Matt's cry-fits seriously. But then again, Matt got upset for serious reasons too, and with good backing. What with Mello leaving him those years ago, his parents being murdered right in front of his eyes, ect, ect…
"Matt…" Mello started after taking a deep breath, reaching out a hand to place it gently on the redhead's shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"Promise you won't laugh?" Matt asked nervously. Mello nodded eagerly, though inside his head he wasn't quite as sure as he was positive he appeared. Matt sighed, looking away.
"It's just that…" he whispered, pulling MarshMello into a tighter hug. "I just watched Toy Story 3."
There was a long silence, one awkward and tense, consisting of Matt hugging MarshMello tightly and avoiding eye contact with the blodne beside him, siad blonde staring at him with bewilderment, and the teddy bear in his arm's having it's arm threatening to pop off (again).
Finally, Mello spoke. His voice was bewildered as his expression. "Toy Story?"
"The third one," Matt confirmed quietly, peeking at Mello.
"Matt!" Mello howled, leaping to his feet and swinging his arm around to cuff the redhead over the shoulder. "You fucking baby!" Mello smirked and scowled simultaneously as he spun around and charged out of the room (something he could do quite easily and uniquely) slapping his hand over his mouth as Matt's strained voice followed him out of the room.
"MELLOOOOO YOU BASTARDDD!"
Mello only grinned and called back, "I didn't laugh, right?" That was the truth.
But inside he was howling.
A/N: My only explaination for this is that I watched toy story 3 tonight with riley, and omigod I tottaly cried three frikkin times. XDD not even joking. But it was a fabulous movie, so go see it (especially if you watched it as a kid). Hearts. ~Holli
