I love you all so much! A couple of you had guess as to who it was going to be at the door, and yea, I'm just that predictable... XD
Anyway, I back to school tomorrow so no promises on when I'll update, sorry...

What the hell?!

Matt stood against the doorframe in all his striped glory, jacket conspicuously missing despite the chilly weather.

"Mello! Sorry I took so long, I got a little hung up after you called." He was particularly loud, almost causing Mello to jump at the volume. Once again: what the hell?! He hadn't called this kid and he certainly hadn't wanted such a loud wake up call at 10 o'clock at night.

Matt glanced nervously to the side before apparently deciding that he couldn't wait to be invited in. The blond allowed him to slip inside past his arm and shut the door quickly behind him. Once inside he visibly relaxed, making Mello wonder what, or who, had been in the hallway.

He glanced down guiltily before sidling up to the blond and wrapping his arms around his neck. Large green eyes peered up through copper fringe and Mello's arms curled naturally around his waist. He stared down at Matt, waiting to see what he would do as their faces were brought closer together.

"50 dollars for one hour?" Their lips nearly brushed as he spoke, making Mello practically ache to say yes with a hungry kiss. Would it be so bad to say 'Fuck that, I have 200 in my wallet and I want you for the whole night?' It would be so easy to just pull this more than willing cutie into the bedroom and have his dirty way. It wasn't like he had work the next day or anything.

Oh yea, work. Hello real life, when did you get back? He had nearly forgotten Matt's less than normal entrance. Realizing where his hands were placed, he attempted to pull them away quickly and make some space between them. The redhead suddenly got a panicked look and pulled their lips together before he could move away.

He hugged Mello close and kissed hard, trying to make him respond. It was obvious he was desperate him to say yes, but why was the mystery. Clearly he wouldn't be letting go any time soon though, unless Mello could get him to calm down. Coming up with a plan, he slid his hands down to Matt's ass, giving an unnecessary squeeze before wrapping the redhead's legs around himself. Hey, who said he couldn't be a little self-indulgent while he calmed the frightened kid down?

He sat his guest down on the kitchen counter, deepening the kiss to distract him. Once sure he had Matt's attention elsewhere, he ran his hands up striped arms and pinned hands that had been tangled in his hair to the cabinet behind them. Matt only looked up at him in question as he broke away.

"Why don't you tell me who was outside the door and we go form there, hmm?" Matt glanced away to the left, a sure sign he was lying, not that Mello had really expected anything else.

"I don't know wh—"

Mello gripped his wrists tighter. "Don't lie to me now…"

He winced in pain before answering. "His name is Mikami…"

"Aaannnnd?"

"And he's my boss so to speak." Now Matt was looking him in the eyes as he spilled the whole story. "He got mad that I left with you and he didn't see me for the whole night even though I had the money. I had to tell him I'd gotten a new customer to calm him down. He didn't believe me so I told him you had called me… He just… He followed me up here and…"

He didn't have to say any more, it was obvious how scared he had been that Mello wouldn't be home or wouldn't let him in. Now that he was here, he had no options other than to convince Mello to let him stay for an hour and get the $50 or he was in for something unpleasant.

Mello had heard the name Mikami before, and never in a good way. He had a reputation for beating his girls and occasionally they would go missing and not be heard from again. He hadn't ever personally met or done business with him, but it certainly explained Matt's panic. He hadn't known that Mikami had gone into boys as well now though.

Well he couldn't exactly send the kid off now that he knew all that could he? Sighing he released Matt's wrists and walked into the bedroom The redhead stayed where he was on the counter as he came back with his wallet from his suit pants on the floor.

He pulled two hundreds from it and held them out, but stopped him before he could take them. "Now, I'll pay for the whole night if you promise not to pull something like this again and let me get a good night's sleep for the first time in a week, alright?"

He stared at Mello for a minute with eyes so wide he almost chuckled at the sight. Matt only nodded though, and accepted the money, tucking it into his jeans pocket.

"Good," he said as he walked back into his room. "There's a shower in here if you want one, I'm going to sleep." With that he stripped the jeans off and crawled under the covers, not checking to see what Matt would do.

He listened as Matt slid off the counter after a few minutes and padded as quietly as he could in combat boots to the doorway of the bedroom. He nearly snickered as the boy peeked in, not knowing what to do with himself. He made up his mind though, tiptoeing into the bathroom after removing his shoes.

Mello heard the shower turn on and smiled, he knew Matt probably didn't have a great place to stay. He'd been in the mafia long enough to know how things worked. He was just drifting off again when he came out of the bathroom in only his boxers, shaking out his red hair. Catching his attention, Mello gestured for him to come over. He pulled back the covers for him to climb in and pulled him close. He let Matt place a chaste kiss to his neck as he wrapped his arms around the boy and snuggled into his damp hair.

It was nice to have a warm body next to his for a change.
