CLXIII. Miracles
Matt never believed in Christmas miracles, but as he stood there in his and Mello's shared room watching said blond reading a Christmas card, Matt found himself hoping to receive one.
For he, Matt Jeevas, gamer extraordinaire, had just given his roommate and love interest a Christmas card with a declaration of love in it. While Mello was a genius, he was also pretty oblivious at times. And so that was why Matt was muttering to himself, "I believe, I believe, I believe..." because right now, he could not afford Mello not realizing that Matt had a crush on him.
"Hm," the chocoholic said pensively as he put the card down.
"I believe, I believe, I believe," Matt was still mumbling, as if that would make Mello run and kiss him breathless.
"What are you mumbling?" Mello asked, giving him a weird look. Then he shook his head. "Never mind. Just take this," he handed Matt the card, "and give it back to whichever girl told you to give it to me."
"I beli-" Matt broke off abruptly, dark blue eyes narrowing behind goggles. "Sure," he said through gritted teeth.
"Okay. And tell them to stop giving me Valentine's Day cards as well," Mello added, turning back to his notebook.
"Sure," Matt repeated. Seething, he very calmly exited the room, hand balling up the card in his hand.
So much for miracles.
