I woke the next morning, Matt splayed out next to me blanket only just concealing him. He was indeed a sight for sore eyes, bite and scratch marks littering his body, the only evidence of the night before. It was safe to say our friendship was effectively ruined, but it would've happened sooner or later. In this case sooner.I climbed out of bed, heading to the shower, quickly rinsing myself down. I was surprised Matt never pushed me away, I expected him to push me away…I never thought he would let me take his…
I suppose it doesn't matter now, I'm not a fucking time traveller, I can't just jump in my TARDIS and change the past. It's done and no doubt Matt will kick me out when he wakes and realises how I manipulated him. I mean, I all but forced myself on him. I'm not sure I would've stopped even if he said no…
Climbing out of the shower, I changed into some sweat pants, determined to relax today no matter how far ahead that damn sheep was. The chance to lounge on the sofa in sweats with a bar of chocolate was becoming increasingly rare, so as such, I was going to have a fine ass day. Even if Matt did try to throw me out in the cold. I'll throw him out instead.
I cut through the bedroom, grabbing a spare blanket from the top of Matt's wardrobe, shaking it free on the light layer of dust that covered it. "God, think you could clean properly…" I grumbled, wrapping it around my shoulders and pulling my hair out that was trapped between myself and the blanket. I moved to the couch, grabbing the remote and turning the television on, putting on some random news channel, listening to them preach endlessly about Kira.
Bastard.
Matt sauntered out a while later having decided to dress properly for the first time in days. Even as casual as his stride was, I could tell how much he was hurting due to the slight limp he was struggling to hide. Matt moved my legs off the other part off the couch, sitting down with a soft hiss before letting my appendages rest across his lap.
"So…" He said quietly, fidgeting his fingers with a lack of cigarette between them.
"Hm?" I asked, not taking my eyes off the T.V.
"Don't 'Hm' me. You know damn well what I'm trying to get at." Matt grumbled.
"Someone's butt must really hurt." I smirked, turning to face him, amused as he turned the colour of his hair within seconds.
"Shut up! That's out of line Mello!"
"You didn't say no." I told him calmly. "Hand me my chocolate."
Matt scowled slightly before reaching across the coffee table, shoving the bar of milky deliciousness into my outstretched hand. Eagerly ripping off the paper and silver foil I jammed it into my mouth. Nothing beats chocolate for the morning after talk. "Look, what do you want from me Mattie? A hug? A kiss? Tell you I'll never forget you? Want me to pay for the morning after pill because you haven't had your period yet?" I grumbled, immediately feeling a pang of guilt in my stomach at the look on his face. Just because on some level I may have feelings for the guy doesn't mean he's immune to my asshattery. I leaned over ruffling his hair. "There."
"You…don't want me?"
I looked at him, confused. "When the fuck did I say that?"
"Well, that's clearly what you mean. Just wanted to know if that was a one night thing or whatever…"
I sighed, brushing my hair from my face. "It's dangerous for you to get involved with me like that. Unless you want your brains splattered in the pavement. Not risking that Matt." I told him calmly "You know that. So whatever you feel for me, push it out of your mind. It was a one time thing that we both needed. Nothing more."
Matt stared firmly at the screen, face carefully blank. "Fine." He said monotonously. "That's just fine Mells." He slipped his goggles down to cover his eyes, masking the million mile stare he held for a fraction of a second before pulling the blanket that I was using to cover myself onto his lap. His lips pursed for a moment. "You ever use me like that again, and I'll burn you myself." He murmured quietly before going completely silent, not even budging when his PS3 beeped and whirled tantalisingly in the corner of the room.
