He didn't want to believe it but the evidence was right in front of his eyes. There was no denying what had taken place.
*flashback*
Todd grinned. "Fine, I'll do it." He pushed back the door revealing the last thing Matt ever wanted to see.
Mello had his arms locked around Gevanni's neck and they kissed with intensity that put Matt and Mello's to shame. Gevanni pushed Mello against the wall and pressed against him, their hips grinding together.
That was when Matt dropped the plate with a loud clatter.
Mello and Gevanni looked up from their actions and stared at Matt with horrified expressions on their faces. Todd closed the door on them and stuttered apologizes to Matt.
* end flashback*
"Matt? Matt, please talk to me." Todd shook Matt out of his thoughts.
"How long?" Matt whispered.
"What?"
"You told Mello you 'weren't above telling his secret'. How long have you known and why didn't you tell me?"
"A couple weeks." Todd admitted. "When he first accused you of cheating, I suspected but I wasn't sure until I smelled Gevanni's scent on his clothes. What kind of idiot doesn't shower after cheating? Amateur." Todd muttered under his breath.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Matt asked.
"I didn't want to hurt you. I figured it would clear up on it's own. I didn't think they'd be stupid enough to do it down the hall." Todd shrugged guiltily.
"And you." Matt pointed an accusing finger at Near. "Did you know?"
"Yes." Near said deadpan.
Matt let his finger drop and sighed. "Of course you did. Would you both get out for a minute?"
"I don't think we should leave you alone." Todd said.
"Just go." Matt demanded.
"But I—"
"GO!" Matt roared.
The two left the room reluctantly, leaving the gamer to himself.
Matt paced the room quickly. Anything not bolted to the floor was either tipped over or thrown against the wall, in his quiet fury. He moved on to the bathroom and tore down the shower curtains, threw everything from the cabinets to the floor.
"Matt." A voice came quietly from the doorway.
Matt spun around and faced his one-time lover. "Get the fuck away from me." He snarled.
The blonde's leather vest was unzipped and hung in a mess off his shoulder. His hair looked like bird's nest sitting on his head and a bruise was forming under his eye.
"Didn't you hear me? Get the fuck away from me. I don't want to see you." Matt snarled again.
"Please, just hear me out." Mello pleaded.
"Why should I?"
"Because I love you. What I did was a complete mistake. I didn't mean to, I swear."
"You love me? That's complete bullshit. You're telling me you didn't mean to go and have sex with another guy? You're full of shit!" Matt yelled. In another act of rage he shattered the mirror above the sink with his fist. Glass shards flying everywhere.
Mello took a step back at the look of fury on Matt's face. "Matt, you're bleeding. Don't get mad, please. I don't want you to hurt yourself."
"Hurt myself?" Matt took an enraged step forward. "You shouldn't be worried about me." He shoved Mello back against the wall in the bedroom.
"M-Matt, don't do anything you'd regret." Mello was shaking violently at the unexpected behavior Matt was exhibiting.
Matt punched the wall next to the blonde's head. "Don't fucking tell me what to do." He bowed his head and took a deep breath. "I should have never came back." He whispered.
"What?" Mello asked hesitantly, afraid to do anything to risk Matt's wrath.
"I should never have left my apartment. I should have never let you find me. I should've just died years ago."
"Don't say that."
"I'm going to do what I should have done before." He focused on Mello's blue eyes instead of the sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. "We're done."
"What?" Mello was in utter confusion.
"We're done." Matt repeated. "I'm leaving. I'll get all my stuff out of your place within the week. After that I never want to see you again."
Mello slid to the floor. "No…you can't. I said I was sorry.... You can't leave me." He was utterly in shock.
Matt stepped over him. "Goodbye Mello."
"Where are you going?" Todd intercepted Matt as he stalked down the hall.
"Move Todd. I'm leaving." Matt brushed past his friend.
"Wait, I wouldn't go that way."
As soon as he turned the corner, Matt saw Jay talking to Gevanni, looking like he wanted nothing more than to beat the shit out of him. Matt charged at the SPK member.
"You bastard." He said through clenched teeth as he wailed away on Gevanni with his fists. "You piece of shit. You knew. You knew he was with me and you still…"
Gevanni blocked as many of the blows as he could until Jay finally pulled the gamer off him.
"Matt, calm down." Jay held Matt against his big barrel-chest. "You leave." He commanded Gevanni. The SPK member scrabbled backwards out of sight.
"He knew…he knew. Why?" Matt cried. "Why would he do that? What did I do?"
"It wasn't you. People make stupid mistakes." Jay said soothingly.
Matt broke out of Jay's grasp and scrubbed angrily at the tears that threatened to fall. "The only one to make a mistake was me. I'm leaving."
Jay nodded. "I understand."
Matt motioned to Todd who was leaning casually against the wall. "Let's go."
Todd's eyes widened. "You're letting me come."
"Of course." Matt scoffed. "I can't leave you alone."
