CXXXVIII. Gravitation
When Mello came into his and Matt's room, he certainly was not expecting the redhead to be running around dressed in a bunny suit, with a small stuffed bunny in tow, waving in the air as Matt threw it around.
"Um..." Mello said, puzzled.
Matt stopped in his tracks and turned around, giving Mello a wide, and albeit creepy, smile. "Melly-jelly!" he cooed, latching himself to the blond's arm. "Sparkly, sparkly! Look at my sparkly, Melly!" He held up his stuffed bunny proudly.
"That's great," Mello said, still unsure of how to react to this...phase.
Matt nodded, pink bunny ears flopping around. "Kumagoro says that Melly is sparkly too." He made the bunny nod as if to prove it.
"Ah." Mello nodded back in understanding. "If you don't mind, I'm gonna just go-"
"No!" Matt roared instantly. In a flash, 'Kumagoro' was holding a tiny gun in its stuffed paws and pointing it at Mello. "Melly stay! Kuma says so!"
Mello didn't necessarily panic. Matt wouldn't shoot him. He tried to imagine the ever-so-loyal redhead firing a gun, and failed to. But Mello decided to play along. "All right," he said calmly, putting his hands up in surrender.
Matt put away the tiny gun. "Bad Kuma!" he scolded the bunny. "No guns!" He turned back to Mello with a toothy grin. "Now we must make sparkly pictures! Sparkly, sparkly, hahahahahaaaaa!" The gamer bounded around the room like an Energizer bunny on crack, shaking Kumagoro around and making it act like a miniature Energizer bunny on crack.
"I'll go get the crayons," Mello offered nicely.
Matt beamed. "Really? You'll really, really, really? Thanks, Melly!" He sneaked a kiss on the cheek before retreating under the bed, singing, "Drawing paper, looking for drawing paper, 'cuz Melly and I are going to make pretty sparkly pictures!"
Definitely disturbed, Mello exited the room. "Okay, what the fuck was that?" he asked himself.
"Matt is cosplaying Ryuichi from the anime called Gravitation," Near's voice said, and Mello finally noticed the albino sitting beside the door, playing with his robot. "Mello should really get into Matt's hobbies once in a while."
Mello was too shocked to shoot something back. Near had a point. Matt supported him in every way, yet...
Guilt settled in the pit of Mello's stomach. He began to make his way to the library to research 'Gravitation,' intending to know more so he could play along better with Matt. It was the least he could do.
Half an hour later, Mello sat staring blankly at the Wikipedia page in front of him. "Wait a minute," he said in a hollow tone, "does this mean Near watches yaoi anime...?"
Gravitation- A yaoi anime I recently got into. It's hilarious. To, unfortunately, put into the words of Demi Lovato's obnoxious character on So Random, "Check it ooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuttttttt!"
