In Denial

"What? Why would you even say so?" Mello spat.

Nonplussed, Matt idly weighed the cigarette in his mouth. "It's just what it seems like."

The hot-blooded of the two smirked, now, settling into the living chair. So this was Matt's game. "Is it that you're tired of the effort?" He asked, letting the question hang dangerously in the stale air. "Is this all too dull for you? Are you giving up?"

"I never said that. "

"But you wouldn't come out and say it."

"You're the one avoiding my question," Matt pointed out bluntly. He was playing with fire, now. "I'm just a real convenience, aren't I, Mello?"

The stare he received in return was not icy - but sharp, nonetheless. Though Mello hissed his reply through gritted jaws, every word was decisive.

"No, Matt. That's not true."

Extremely subtle in this one, I know.
