The day passed slowly but surely. Mello still hadn't told me where we were going, and by now I was slightly curious. It was just after dinner and Mello and me were in our room, Mello sitting on his bed, apparently thinking, and me sitting on the floor watching Mello.

"So when are we going to go?" I asked impatiently. Mello seemed to come out of a trance and blinked in my direction.

"Oh, right yeah, we should get going, shouldn't we." was all Mello said before he got to his feet, pulled some clothes out of his dresser and made his way to the bathroom.

I felt strange, so I decided to change my shirt and slip on my furry vest. Satisfied, I patiently waited for Mello to finish doing whatever the hell it was he was doing. I mean, surely it doesn't take that long to get changed, does it?

My question was answered when he stepped out of the bathroom in the tightest clothes I'd ever seen him wear. Scratch that, the tightest clothes I'd ever seen anyone wear. They might as well have been painted on.

I could feel my draw drop as I shamelessly ogled him, he didn't seem to mind because he smirked deviously.

"Like what you see Matty?" he raised an eyebrow. My mind seemed to catch up with me at this point and I closed my mouth and blushed as red as my hair.

Hang on… was Mello flirting with me? No. He can't be, can he? He's just teasing and I'm being too hopeful.

"Matt, come on let's go" he said impatiently, I sighed and let Mello lead the way out. I had just registered that I still had no idea where we were going but figured I'd find out soon enough anyway.

Mello was still walking ahead of me, not that I was complaining, because it gave me plenty of time for me to shamelessly ogle his ass, which I was doing more and more frequently I noticed. Huh. Must be the leather...

We walked for what seemed like hours but I knew it had only been minutes, as we stopped outside a cinema about five minutes down the road.

"We're going to watch a movie?" I asked stupidly, as it was pretty obvious we were watching a movie as we outside a cinema.

"Yeah." was all Mello said, as he dragged me inside and we made our way to the box office.

"Two tickets for the last exorcism." Mello said confidently to the girl there.

"Umm… your ages?" she asked hesitantly, probably momentarily dazzled by Mello's undeniably beautiful face, just like I was when I first met him.

"Eighteen." Mello said in a bored manner, and then I realised why Mello wanted to see some movie, for the simple reason of lying about our ages.

Mello nudged me in the ribs and I nearly fell over; that's how spaced out I was.

"Huh, oh, right I'm eighteen" I blushed when Mello helped steady my balance, his hands around my waist for a second longer than they should have been. The girl raised her eyebrows but made no comment as we paid for the tickets.

We ignored the sweet section as Mello already had about six chocolate bars somewhere on him and I had never really had much of a sweet tooth. Literally. Not metaphorically. Mello led the way into the screen and we waited for all the annoying adverts to leave us alone.

When the movie started I didn't really register much, apart from the fact that it was a scary film. Great. Didn't Mello know me at all! I terrified of scary films! I can't watch them. Maybe he just bought me here to tease me or condition me as mentally unstable. I jumped at a particularly scary moment and Mello's arms were suddenly around me, protecting me. I leaned into him, turning my head away from the screen until all I could see was Mello's leather vest. I snuggled closer to him so that instead of all the screaming going on in the film, all I could hear was Mello's soft breathing and heartbeat.

After that the film went surprisingly quickly, not that I actually watched any of it, but Mello seemed to enjoy it.

"Matt you're such a baby" he jeered, smirking as we walked out of the cinema. "Whatever. I just don't like scary movies." I pouted, not really annoyed but just winding Mello up. Mello laughed, grabbed my hands suddenly, spun me round to face him, and then stared seriously into my face all in the space of two seconds, which I've got to admit is impressive.

Mello didn't say anything for a few moments so I decided to talk

"Um, what's up Mello?"

Man I was lame at conversation. Mello didn't seem to mind though as he said,

"Matt, have you ever kissed anyone before?"

That was kind of a strange question for Mello to ask, especially as he knew I didn't really know anyone but him and had the social skills of a rock. A particularly awkward rock. A particularly awkward rock that had been living alone in the mountains eating nothing but pot noodles for the past five hundred years.

"No, Mello, er… why?" I couldn't help but ask. He looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well, who would trust with your first kiss?" he asked leaning slightly closer to me. I gulped nervously,

"Well, I er… don't know" I mumbled. He was even closer now, his face centimetres from mine.

"Would you trust me, Matty?" he voices ghosted over my face and I shivered and leaned in.

Wait a minute. What was going on? Wasn't Mello straight? I mean even if he was gay there was no way he'd want me. He could have anyone he wanted, so why would he want some dork who does nothing but plays video games all day?

But just as I'd reached this conclusion I realised it was all meaningless, as Mello leaned even closer and brushed his lips against mine. It was short but sweet and even as he pulled back I instantly craved more. Damn my addictive personality.

"Umm… can we do that again?" I asked curiously.

He looked at me for a second and then started to laugh but before I could think, he had once again placed his lips on mine, and we were soon kissing very much like a starving man might eat food.

When we broke apart we were panting

"Wow Matt you're not bad at kissing," Mello said in an amused voice. I could feel my face heating up as he stroked along my jaw with his fingertips. He laughed and suddenly his lips were at my ear,

"So Matt, what do you want?" he whispered, making me shiver and lean into his touch. "You." I barely whispered, lost in the smell of Mello's hair, like chocolate but with a firm scent of something else, like cinnamon.

I inhaled deeply, putting my arms around his shoulders to close any gap there may have been before.

"Love you Mels" I mumbled into his silky hair.

My brain suddenly caught up with my mouth, and I internally cursed myself. You retard. Why did you have to kill the moment? Mello probably thinks you're his stalker that's gonna rape him next time you go out. Next time? There isn't gonna be a next time now, idiot.

As I was ranting to myself I didn't notice that Mello had shifted, and it was only when our face was inches apart that I come back to reality. I didn't meet Mello's eyes, even as he grabbed my jaw and forced my head back. He sighed dramatically.

"Why did I have to go and fall in love with some guy who can't even look me in the eyes," he grumbled. I gasped as he said it and looked back at him, just to see if he was serious or just messing around. All I could see when I looked in his eyes was love, and slight amusement. But… I knew I couldn't trust my eyes as they could just be showing me what I want to see. Mello caressed my jaw again and kissed me tenderly, as though I might break at the lightest touch, and then I knew that he loved me just as much as I loved him. I had never seen Mello treat anything with such tenderness and care, with such love. As soon as I reached this conclusion I placed both my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. I gasped when our tongues met and leaned in more.

Kissing Mello was like skating on ice, if you do it right it's beautiful, but if you lose balance you're most likely going to end up with a broken neck.

I didn't know how much time had passed but when we broke apart, panting and gasping for air, it looked a lot darker than it had before did.

"Come on Matty- we should get going." Mello muttered, grabbing my hand and towing me towards the pavement.

We walked, but this time it seemed like only seconds later we were outside Wammy's house again. Mello looked at me before we entered

"Love you." he said before leaning down to capture my lips again

(Whoa- we were kissing a lot tonight) I smiled into the kiss and relaxed as Mello brushed a bit of hair back from my face.

"Mmm… love you too Mels" I said when he finally pulled away.
