Yay! Finally an update! Sorry for the wait! Enjoy!
"Ngh." Mello rolled over opened one eye. The room was dark and only the faint glow of a computer was seen. "Well the power's back..." The gears in Mello's head started to turn rapidly. "Computer... person... Matt!" He sat up suddenly and fell off the bed with a thud.
"Mello?" Matt tuned around at the sound and looked at Mello who was currently brushing off his pants.
"Hello bastard. What time is it?" Mello rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"It's only 9..."
"I did absolutely nothing productive today." He pouted and Matt laughed at his adorable (in his opinion) face.
"So hiding from me wasn't productive enough for you?" Matt smirked.
"I wasn't hiding! I was just... going for a walk."
"Really? Do tell, do tell!" Matt stood and flicked off his laptop.
"Tell you what?" Mello asked irritated and chucked his chocolate wrapper that had been in his pocket at him.
"Where you went, who you saw, what revolutionary ideas you had. I dunno, anything about your day!"
"Idiot." Mello gave a small smile and smacked Matt up side the head playfully.
"Really Mello, where were you? I was looking for y..."
"No you weren't!" Mello cut in angrily. "He wasn't looking for me! He was reading a book! A fucking book! Is a book more important than me!"
"Yes I was! I even asked around."
"I saw you! You were in the library reading a fruity book!" Mello glared at him, his eyes almost hiding his sadness. Almost.
"Fruity?" Matt's lips turned up into a smile and Mello's face turned red. "You're one to talk Mello." He touched the others red cheek lightly and Mello stiffened.
"Am I not allowed to use that word anymore." He turned his head away and looked at the ground. "I disgust you don't I..." It wasn't a question.
"What? No way, how could you ever disgust me! I lo..." Matt slapped his hand over his mouth, face turning red and quickly turned and sat back at his laptop. Mello blinked.
"Did he just... No way..." Mello felt his eyes start to water and he burst out laughing.
Matt raised an eyebrow but didn't turn back to look at Mello. "He's laughing at me now. Of course he would never love me back..."
"We are so fucking thick!" Mello sighed and rested his forehead against the back of Matt's head.
Matt remained silent in confusion and hit buttons rapidly on the laptop.
Mello let out a frustrated sigh and reached around Matt's neck towards the laptop. He stopped Matt's hands from moving and quickly opened a word document and typed three little words.
I love you
"You wouldn't have gotten it if I hadn't used technology would you..." He rested his head on the red head's shoulder and let his arms hang there.
Matt just stared at the screen and tried to comprehend why Mello would want to love him. There were other stronger men out in the world. Ones that weren't glued to a computer of some sort most of the time. Ones that could protect Mello without worry...
"Matt say something." Mello whispered worried.
Matt opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally speaking. "...ove you too..." Mello only heard half of it but he understood. He gave him a quick hug and left to take a shower and change into more suitable sleepwear for the night.
Matt sloughed in his chair and sighed loudly. "This had better not be a dream... I wonder if he'd let me kiss him now..." He stood and changed into his own pyjamas.
His laptop beeped and he shut it before climbing into his own bed and stared at the ceiling.
Mello came out looking and feeling refreshed and chucked his clothes in the hamper. He glanced at Matt and vaguely wondered if he would get in trouble for trying to sleep with Matt... Mello blushed lightly and went over to Matt's bed.
Matt looked at him, instantly noticing the blush on his friend/something or other's face. Mello quickly leaned forward, kissed his forehead and mumbled a good night before dashing into his own bed and pulling the covers up.
Matt smiled and concluded that it would be alright to kiss him... not that anything more would happen... maybe. He kicked off his own covers and noticed how Mello stilled completely as he padded over to the blond's bed and pealed the covers back slowly.
"What?" Mello asked trying to sound angry and failing miserably.
"You don't want me here? Ok." He let the blankets drop over Mello's face and stood there.
"I didn't say that idiot!" Mello's threw them off and blushed when he realised Matt hadn't moved.
"Scoot over then." Matt climbed into the bed beside Mello and hugged him close.
"h..hey!" Mello said but hugged him back none the less.
They both lay in silence, still unsure if everything that had happened was real or if they were just going to wake up in their own beds and find that the other really didn't love them back. Mello tried to keep his eyes open and stay awake but it proved difficult even though he had just slept a little ago. It was just so damned comfortable in Matt's arms.
Matt was having just the opposite problem. He was completely hyped up and really wanted to kiss Mello... we'll say kiss but Matt really wanted Mello.
Mello soon dozed off and Matt contented himself with rubbing circles on Mello's back and inhaling the sweet scent that was Mello.
Maybe tomorrow they could kiss officially...
