Show Me A Smile chapter seven by blackdragonflower
--
"Hey Matt. So... are you and Misa going out yet?"
The redhead sweatdropped a little nervous. "I really have no idea..."
"Well you two do hang out a lot more now and rumor has it you've been kissing..." Sayu winked at the redhead. Matt turned a bright pink.
"Sayu..."
The girl giggled with a happy smile. "Don't be embarrassed... Actually I came to invite you and Misa-san to come with Mello and me on a sort of double date. Unless you're not dating... then I guess you could consider it friends going out and having fun together."
Matt pulled Sayu into a playful nuggie. "So where are you, we to be going then?"
Sayu squirmed her way free from Matt's grasp and absentmindedly fixed her hair with a grin. "You know that raceway, arcade, mini-golf combo place?"
"You mean that place Y2K?"
"Yes, that one exactly!"
"So is that where Mello is taking you?"
"Yup. I challenged him to a round and since he can't refuse a challenge he of course accepted."
"Sounds like Mello." Matt chuckled.
"So will you come?"
"Let me call Misa..."
And that's how Matt, Mello, Misa, and Sayu ended up in four go-karts. Mello and Sayu were shooting competitive -yet playful- glares at one another waiting for the light to turn green. Matt sighed and shook his head. Misa just giggled. "Ready Matt-kun?"
"Yeah... I haven't done this in awhile..."
Misa grinned nervously, "I've never driven go-karts before..."
"Really?"
"Yeah..."
"Well I'm sure you'll do fine it's pretty ea-"
The light turned green Mello and Sayu shot out of the gate. Matt and Misa followed after and the redhead was surprised when Misa's car teasingly bumped into the side of his. Matt yelled. "I thought you've never done this before!"
She was laughing. "I haven't!" Matt yelped as he swerved to miss Mello's car, which had been bumped into the wall by a clever Sayu Yagami. Mello was grumbling his arms across his chest as he waited for someone to come fix his car. Unfortunate Misa's car collided with his and Mello was thrown across the steering wheel despite his seatbelt. The blonde cussed.
"Damn it!!" Sayu could be heard laughing from the other side of the track. The lights signaled yellow, caution, and the drivers slowed down. Matt and Sayu's eyes met briefly and Matt noticed her wide smirk. She drove casually by Mello and stuck her tongue out last moment. The sophomore's icy blue eyes narrowed and he made an unspoken promise he was going to get her. Mello and Misa's cars were righted and started back up. Once the light turned green Mello was driving like a madman to catch up to his girlfriend but decided to be a little mean to his best friend. He drove up to Matt and bumped the back. Matt grumbled and took a hard right around the curve. He grinned when Mello was driving beside him on his left.
"You facing me because your girlfriend wiped the track with your skinny ass?"
Mello gave Matt the look that said, "Oh no you didn't." The blonde rammed the side of his car into Matt's. The redhead was wedged between his friend's car and the wall. He groaned and let off the accelerator so Mello sped ahead then slammed his foot back on to hit the back of Mello's kart. "Damn it Matt!"
"Ha ha!" And just then Sayu drove past.
"Hi baby! Bye!" Both boys blinked stunned. How did she get around the track so fast? It was the last lap and unfortunate for the boys they were sent first into the pits. Mello grumbled incoherently about how the race was rigged and there was no way Sayu should have won. Misa was next in and after a few other cars Sayu was in the back. She calmly took off her seatbelts and exited before Mello could catch up to her. When the blonde male got himself untangled he stormed after the girl and pinned her up against the nearest wall. Sayu grinned nervously. "Hi."
"Hi." With that Mello gave her no time to react in any manner, he just pressed his lips to hers. Misa thrust her arm into the air and yelled supportingly,
"Wahoo! You go guys!" Matt turned a bit pink.
"Hey... Misa?"
The girl turned her attention to Matt her voice lowering, "Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you inside? We can meet them in the arcade."
"Yeah." Misa grinned and pinched Matt's cheek lovingly. "Aw you look so nervous Matt-kun! Something the matter?"
"Um..." Matt didn't know how to say this without it coming out... wrong. "Misa are we... ya know... together?"
"Of course you and Misa Misa are together Mattie."
"Well I mean... as in... me and you... dating." The girl pushed some hair from her face a little of a disappointed look in her eyes.
She wrapped her arms around Matt's neck and coyly kissed his lips, "Of course we're dating Matt-kun. We're been dating since the first time we kissed." She winked then tapped the end of his nose. "Cheer up."
Matt grinned his foolishly cute smile and rubbed his nose against hers. "I love you."
"Misa loves you too Mattie!"
"Hey you two lovebirds let's get going. Me and Matt have a date with the air hockey table!"
"God Mello watch how you say that!"
The chocolate addict huffed his arm around Sayu's waist, "We both have girlfriends so it doesn't matter how I say it dope. Now come on!"
"Yes mother!" Matt chuckled taking Misa's hand. The girl giggled seeing the displeased if not very irritated expression on Mello's face.
"I'm not your fucking mother you son of a bitch why don't you say that when you're a foot away from me!"
"Mello!" Sayu leaned her head on his shoulder, "Calm down... there's little kids around, if you swear too much they might kick us out."
Mello muttered, "I'd like to see them try." But stopped his swearing rampage, that is, in English. The blonde switched to Portuguese, in which he was becoming quite fluent. Sayu sighed and shook her head. Sometimes she didn't know what to do with her leather-wearing lover. Matt and Misa grinned and walked hand in hand back towards the building. Inside Matt met Mello at the air hockey table. "Alright prepare to get your ass kicked."
"Yeah okay whatever Mells. You seriously have issues sometimes."
"..." Mello's eyebrows dipped together and he hit the puck and it zipped its way into Matt's goal. With that Mello's displeased frown turned to a smirk that said, "Take that bitch."
"Hey I wasn't ready!"
"When are you ever?" Mello retorted with a devilish snicker. Sayu and Misa exchanged glances then shook their heads. Male rivalry for pride, get your tickets and line up, it's the show of a lifetime! "Now get the puck and let's play!" While the two males argued back and forth the puck shot against walls and into goals. It was an intense game.
"Wow they're really into this game..."
"Yeah..." Misa giggled. After chatting for a few minutes Sayu and Misa came into a funny yet cute conversation about their boyfriends.
"Mello's so adorable, like a cat. He loves getting his stomach and back scratched. He can even purr like a cat!"
Upon hearing that Mello's face turned pink and he thought, 'Why must women talk about shit like that! It's embarrassing!' Matt broke down laughing.
"Mello you what?!" In short, the redhead got a puck in the face. Mello hit the thing so hard it ricocheted off the edge of the table and into Matt's face.
"YOW!" The gamer howled in pain. "You ass!!" A mother with her child looked over at the gang a wary look on her face and led her son away to another part of the arcade.
"Aw that's so cute Sayu-chan! Mattie's the opposite... he's like a dog. He likes getting his head scratched and his stomach rubbed. Oh and he especially loves being cuddled. It's so cute! He can even do those puppy dog eyes really well." Misa smiled and twirled a finger around one of her pigtails.
"Aw."
Matt's face was now the exact same shade as his bright hair. Taking advantage of his friend's embarrassment Mello hit the puck and grinned as it flew into Matt's goal. The lights flashed signaling his grand victory. The blonde male thrust out his hand. "Pay up loser."
"Huh?" Matt whined trying to conceal his red face with his hands.
"Pay up. You're buying lunch sucker."
Matt groaned and handed over the money. "You didn't tell me we were playing to see who'd buy lunch..."
"I didn't?" Mello purred happily. "I thought I did..."
Sayu hugged Mello a bright smile on her face. "You purred! It's so cute!"
"Sayu..." Mello gently pushed her away before his face could turn pink and whispered. "Not in public..."
The brunette grinned and swiped the money from her lover's hand. "Who wants pizza?"
Misa raised her hand. "Misa does!"
"Alright then it's settled. We'll eat pizza, play in the arcade for a while, then we'll have to go. Sound good to everyone?"
Matt blinked. It was times like this that he registered how alike Sayu and Mello could be. It was kind of a scary thought. So with little debate Mello and Sayu shared a cheese pizza and Matt and Misa shared a Hawaiian style pizza complete with pineapple and Canadian bacon. "I didn't know you liked this type of pizza Misa..." The gamer took a large bite a string of cheese hanging from between his mouth and the pizza. Misa giggled.
"There's a lot you don't know about me Matt-kun." He didn't know why but that sentence made him so turned on. His gut tightened and he stared at his pizza afraid that if his eyes met hers she'd be able to tell what had been lingering in his mind.
"Hey Matt if you don't hurry a snot-nosed brat's gonna take all the good prizes! We still have to get tickets you know..." Mello grinned and viciously -but rather pleased- took a bite from his defenseless pizza, which was coated, in crushed red peppers.
"Yeah yeah Mr. Almighty."
"Damn straight." Mello -being quick and efficient as he is- finished first and went to grab tokens for everyone. When he came back he had a lot. He divided them up in equal piles with ten extra to Matt. Nobody noticed though. The way Mello figured if anyone could get the most tickets it would be the gamer that was master of every electronic game on Earth, and arcade games were no different.
When let loose onto the arcade Matt was grinning wider than the Cheshire cat from Alice In Wonderland. He held Misa's hand nearly jumping up and down. "Hey Misa would you like to play DDR Max with me?" Sayu questioned.
"Sure!" Misa began to walk towards the machine then stopped, kissed Matt's cheek, and ran off. The redhead smiled. He vowed he was going to win lots of tickets so he could get her an amazing prize, but first... he was going to sit by Mello and be slightly perverted. He joined his blonde friend with a smile.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If I wasn't I wouldn't be behind the girls would I?" Mello chuckled.
"So we were thinking the same thing."
"About." They both watched as the girls played the game their eyes sometimes becoming focused on the girls' lower ends. But, all in all they remained pretty well behaved and made sure to stare discreetly. After the fun excitement and rush to the part hidden in the boys' jeans they hurried to find something to distract themselves.
Now, some might consider it cheating but others might not. Matt and Mello were super intelligent children who'd grown into young adults and they knew how to use their intelligence to their advantages. Unfortunate for the arcade owners, that meant they also knew how to best the arcade machines when given a little time to observe how they worked and the patterns they took. So it was no surprise when Matt and Mello were winning jackpots left and right. Of course Mello played a few shooting games -which yielded no tickets but were fun anyways-, and Matt played a couple games of pinball. Sayu and Misa played skeeball and whatever they felt they were good at. And after all that when every last token was gone they took their bundles of tickets to turn them in. Matt by far had the most, with Mello in second.
"How about this... me and Misa join or tickets and you and Sayu join your tickets."
"Sounds fine with me." Sayu nodded.
"Misa Misa's fine with it." Mello said nothing. He was looking over all the prizes. Matt grinned and pointed to what he wanted.
"Can I get that please?" The woman working the register nodded bored and popped a bubble of bubblegum. She took a large stuffed puppy off the wall and handed it to Matt and took his tickets. The redhead, blushing a slight bit pink, handed the animal to Misa and kissed her forehead. "Love you." The girl looked at the puppy in her arms and squeezed it tight to her chest.
"Thank you Mattie. I love you." The stuffed animal had large chocolate brown eyes and its fur was a golden red. It was fuzzy and would make a great pillow.
While Sayu wasn't looking Mello got a stuffed cat, it was orange with cute bright green eyes. There were still some tickets left in his pool though. He sighed his cheeks getting a little red. He wasn't one for adorable, huggable, public affection. He handed the cat over. "Here."
Sayu understanding, took it and when she was sure no one was looking kissed him. "Thank you Mello." She turned her attention and pointed. "Can I get the back scratcher and the a bar of chocolate?"
"Sure thing." Mello looked at his girlfriend questioningly and smirked when she handed over the chocolate but was puzzled.
"What's the back scratcher for?"
"This." She pushed him so she could get at his back and began to use the back scratcher. The blonde male purred in delight.
"What a goof..." Matt chuckled. And before the blonde could hit him he ducked. And you were never allowed to duck.

So how many people are never going to look at DDR Max the same way ever again? I'm sorry guys, I just couldn't help it. :-nervous grin-: Matt and Mello are healthy boys after all. They are so perverted... omg... :-heavy sigh-: Hee... hope you all enjoyed the random fun of this chapter and Matt and Misa's first date and all the perversion didn't bother anyone. Matt and Misa just keep getting cuter and cuter! And for you SayuxMello fans I hope you liked their cuteness too. Omg... that stuffed puppy... reminds me of my dog Mello... Heh... My dog is named Mello because he is mellow. I just like how Mello from Death Note spells his name...
