CXXXII. Misbehave

Matt hadn't wanted him to.

The redhead hadn't meant to do it in the first place. The girl had simply knocked on the door, he'd answered, and she wanted to welcome them into the neighborhood with some cookies. Matt accepted them, thanked her, and turned, only to come face-to-face to the menacing creature that we know as Mello.

"Who was that?" the blond growled.

Matt raised an eyebrow. "The girl in the next apartment over." He held up the plate of cookies. "She made these for us as a welcome gift. Jesus, is there something wrong with that?"

"Yes!" Mello stepped forward, still looking pissed. "How dare you disobey my orders? I specifically told you not to open the door at all! My god, what if someone from the Mafia came, huh? If you say them outside with a gun, would you think that they want to give the gun to you and let them in? Matt!" He shoved the other backwards in irritation.

The plate of cookies slipped from Matt's hand. It fell and didn't break, but the cookies were no more than crumbs...

Matt sniffled and said a silent prayer for the sweets.

"Mail," Mello snarled. "Are you listening to me?"

"I'm all ears, Mels."

"Good. Now get the fuck in the bedroom. I should have done this a long time ago."

"Er... No thanks- Ow! Ow! My hair!"

"Bedroom. Now."

"Okay, okay! Jeez!"

Matt really did try to fight him-or, sort of. Nonetheless, when the blond forced himself upon the gamer Matt was no match. He did what he did, then sat up later in satisfaction.

"I like it," Mello said with a broad grin.

Matt muttered profanity under his breath, sitting up. "Of course you do," he said. "You did this out of boredom."

"And because I wanted to mark my property. Don't forget that."

"Oh, how could I ever forget?" Matt said sarcastically. He pulled his shirt to re-inspect the damage, and winced at the black print that stared right back at him: 'Mello's bitch. DO NOT TOUCH.'

"I hate you," Matt sniffled, pouting.

Mello just ruffled his hair and kept smiling. "Love you too."


I couldn't find the right word for the bubble bath chapter, and by the time I did, I already had this written... Bubble chappie next, yes? *nod*
