Hi! ^^ thanks for reading/reviewing!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my computer! :)
Matt was still wondering if the phone call he had received while he was with Mello made him feel relieved or angry. Maybe both.
Relieved since he was behaving like the dumbest of girls, angry because someone was ruining his moment with Mello. Not a romantic moment, of course! Just thinking about the word "romantic" had made him feel hysterical lately.
He looked at the mirror again, trying to decide what to wear: his black and white striped t-shirt or his black and red (striped, obviously) one?
He sighed, tossing the red one on the chair. It wasn't like he was dressing up for a date.
He only had to go to the game shop to take some games they had ordered for him. That was the reason the owner had called him a few days before.
He went back to his room, after realizing he had forgotten his wallet on the desk.
'Stop spacing out, Matt.' he told himself 'And Mello, get out of my mind, please!'
Mello had been treating him as a friend from that day on, but they didn't get to see each other much because of the university. Matt groaned, remembering how disappointed he had felt when he discovered that their timetables where totally incompatible.
He opened the door and unexpectedly saw Mello in the entrance.
"Going out?" he asked, flashing him with a smile
"Uh, yes..." Matt managed to stammer "To Game Stop..."
Mello looked at him for a moment, lost in thoughts.
"Mind if I come along? I have to buy a new cellphone..."
"Sure!" Matt found himself smiling like an idiot "But if we don't hurry we'll miss the bus..."
The blonde smirked and walked to his room.
"No need to worry, we're going by bike. After I find you an helmet..."
He started to rummage in the open boxes that filled his room. They had been delivered some days before, but he still hadn't had time to open them all.
"Found it!"
He placed it in Matt's hands and he observed it. He was still too surprised to say anything. Not only he got to go downtown with Mello, but by motorbike too! Wasn't it super cool?
Then he sighed, how could he get that annoying girly side of him out of his own mind?
"Perfect fit." the blonde smiled "Lets go."
Matt followed him down the stairs.
As they reached Mello's bike he took a good look at it, he had never seen it up close.
It was really cool, just like him and seemed expensive too...not that he was a motorbikes or cars' expert, though.
"Oh, Matt!" Mello told him after they got on the bike
"Um, yes?"
"Hold on tight!"
"Sure, but why...?"
Before he could even finish that sentence, they took off at an unbelievable speed.
Matt gasped and instinctively hold onto the blonde. After realizing he was practically hugging the other boy, he screamed:
"I'm sorry! I was taken by surprise...I mean, this is my first time riding..."
Then, he realized that talking was useless because the noise of the wind was too loud for him to be heard. But he could swear he had heard Mello chuckle.
They reached downtown in no time and Mello parked right in front of the Game Stop.
"Here we are." then smirked at the redhead "You've broken one or two of my ribs, should I've driven slower?"
Matt couldn't help but blushing. Great, now Mello was going to think of him as a freak or, even worse, a gay freak.
"Don't be mad, I was joking!" the blonde laughed, before stepping in the shop
On a second thought, he didn't seem to care much about the fact that Matt had clinged onto him.
The redhead sighed and waved at the owner, while Mello was taking a look around.
He seemed a bit out of place with his cool leather clothes, cool hair tied in a ponytail, cool gestures as he picked a game from the shelf out of curiosity...did Matt already mention that everything about him was cool?
"Um, Matt? Did you hear me?" the owner's voice woke him up from his daydream
"Sorry, what were you saying again?"
The man repeated him that one of the games didn't arrive with the others.
"Should I order it again for you?"
"Sure, thanks."
While he was typing on his computer, Matt realized that the background music he hadn't being paying attention to was by one of his favourite bands.
"I love this band." Mello said, resting his elbows on the counter, after having finished his tour of the shop
"Really? Me too!"
Here I am thinking about you
Whenever I close my eyes, I'm dreaming of you
And if I have to live my life without you, forever,
I can close my eyes and dream of you
Matt's heartbeat was now really fast.
He glanced at the blonde that was lazily playing with a Final Fantasy key chain, feeling really weird. What could that feeling be?
No panic, the solution was to call Misa and ask her for help. Really simple.
"Here you go. The total is 26 dollars."
Matt paid and dragged Mello out of the store, but he could still hear that song in his head and feel confused like he'd never been before.
"Lets go pick my phone now, shall we?" the blonde smiled, bowing and pointing at his bike "I'm going to slow down if you're scared, promise."
"Don't worry about me." his friend grumbled, blushing for the hundredth time that day
As he felt Matt's arms around his waist, a thought crossed Mello's mind.
'Did I tell him that he can hold onto the sides of the bike?' he wondered, then he took off and felt Matt's grip tighten 'Well, whatever!' he shook his head and smiled
Isn't Matt really cute? ^^ btw, my first time as a passenger on a bike was the same, I nearly fell in a river because I didn't know where to hold to! Scary! O.O
The song is "Regret" by Cruxshadows
