Matt shifted as his body urged him awake, his injured friend still sleeping soundly atop his chest. Good. He thought as he wrapped his tired arms around the blonde's middle a bit tighter and rest his cheek against the top of his head. Mello needed all the extra rest he could get if he wanted that wound to heal quickly. For the sake of Mello's pride he wished he had a pair of crutches… that way the blonde could at least move around on his own. Oh well. He sighed lazily and nuzzled into the soft locks of blonde hair that surrounded his face, feeling so unbelievably comfortable as he held his friend. The weight that the blonde put on him was perfect and he felt so warm and happy that he didn't dare move, fearing that if he did he might wake his friend and end the sensation prematurely. Mello, though, seemed to have other thoughts as he stirred in his sleep and fluttered his blue eyes open.

"Mh… Matt?" he asked quietly, his voice raspy and a bit deeper from the sleep that still clung to it. Turning his head slightly he met his gaze with the red head's, smiling lazily when he saw that his friend was indeed awake. "Mhhh… how long were we asleep?"

"Uh—" Matt coughed softly to clear his throat, "I dunno… probably a few hours."

Mello nodded a little and sighed out before stretching his arms up above his head out of habit, but this time instead of taking hold of the pillow like he would have on any other day, he tangled his fingers in Matt's velvety red locks. He let his fingers play with the strands for a few moments before he dropped his arms down again, slowly and carefully working his body to roll over on top of his friend. When he'd accomplished his task he was laying face-down atop the red head, fully relaxed and lazy. Matt looked at his friend in question but quickly dismissed the thought and accepted the new position for what it was. Hey, if Mello liked it… then why shouldn't he? He knew he liked it much more than the previous one so he might as well show it.

"Your leg feel any better?" he asked calmly as he rubbed his warm hands up and down the blonde's broad back in a slow rhythm, turning his head to the side with a soft smile so that he could still nestle into the thick blonde hair. He loved the scent that Mello's hair held so much…

"Not really." He responded apathetically, pressing his face further into Matt's neck as he brought his tired arms upwards and wrapped them lovingly around the red head's neck. Though, he kept his face hidden. He didn't want to show Matt that he was smiling… that this position gave him butterflies and that he wished they could lay like this all day. Matt's scent… was intoxicating. It only added to the sensation and caused him to slightly tighten his grip around his friend. The red head smiled a bit broader when Mello moved his arms and let one of his hands wander up his back to stroke through the blonde hair slowly and lovingly. It wasn't long before the two of them fell into a world of dreams yet again.

A few hours later, though, the red head woke again when his stomach cried out for food. Throwing his gaze around the room, he came up with one conclusion—it was darker. It must have been at least five by now… which means he'd missed breakfast, lunch, and all the snacks in between. No wonder his stomach was growling… First, though, he had to come up with a plan to accommodate to the sleeping beauty in his arms. Maybe he should just wait until Mello woke up. But… who knows how long that would take; he was hungry now.

"Mello…" he said quietly, patting the blonde's back as he trailed feather-soft kisses along the top of his head. He moved one hand up to stroke through Mello's hair again and used his other to gently shake the shorter boy, calling out softly "Mello… hey. Wake up." After a few moments, his wish was granted and his eyes were met with cool blue ones. "Hey there…" he said with a small smile, his fingers still buried in Mello's long silky hair. Mello blinked away the sleep in his eyes and focused on his friend's face, returning the smile lazily.

"I was thinking about making dinner or something. Or go out and get some. So… wanna let me up?" Mello furrowed his brow at the request and did nothing but tighten his arms around the elder's neck. No part of him wanted to get up; to move from this unbelievably comfortable position so that Matt's fat ass could get some burgers.

"No…"

Matt paused for a brief moment. "No? Why not?"

The blonde nuzzled sleepily against the skin of his friend's neck, his eyes lidded heavily. He wasn't going to let Matt up. Not yet… "You don't wanna get up." He mumbled playfully, a smile gracing his features. He was going to keep Matt on this couch as long as he could.

"I don't want to, huh…" the red head said softly, playing along a bit with the blonde's mood. "I think I do want to."

"No Matt…" said Mello, grinning a bit deviously as he tilted his head and lined his lips up with the gamer's in a soft, smooth kiss. It was only a moment, though, before he pulled away and whispered against Matt's thin lips. "Stay a little longer." This mood… one of my favorites. Matt thought pleasantly as he kissed the blonde back. It was almost… like he was drunk. Maybe the gamer misjudged the amount of pain meds he'd given to his injured friend. Oh well, he liked kisses so he wasn't complaining.

Matt turned his head slightly to the side and away from Mello's, a smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth when he felt the other's lips follow his. "Fine… Fine, I'll stay." He said; the grin almost audible in his voice. It took him only moments to recapture Mello's lips with his own in a tender kiss and as he did so, he held the blonde's body closer against his own. He'd give up sex with Mello for life if he could kiss him like this instead.

"Someone's flirty this morning…" Matt cooed playfully as he shifted to make himself a bit more comfortable, disregarding the fact that it wasn't actually morning anymore. Afternoon was close enough.

Mello grinned lazily as he pressed his lips into his friend's a third time, using the tip of his tongue to try and coax out the red head's. To his enjoyment, Matt easily complied and he felt his tongue collide with the other's, sliding smoothly and slowly around each other in a lazy dance. He'd loved the way Matt tasted since the first time he'd kissed him years ago and he couldn't deny the bliss that came from each movement of the red head's tongue against his own. The two of them worked up a steady pace in no time, their bodies and minds relaxed as they focused on the kiss only. The blonde let out a sigh of content against his friend's lips, his hands having found their way into the mess of red hair and his body shifted to fit perfectly atop the one below his. It seemed like an hour before their off and on cycles of kisses finally ended, in which the red head took as his chance to leave before he fell further into addiction.

"Okay Mells. I'm really gonna go get food now." He said with a gentle laugh, giving the blonde's lips one last peck. He wouldn't have minded laying there and kissing him longer, but he really was getting hungry now. Besides, Mello needed to eat more than he did right now so that he could heal faster.

Thankfully the blonde agreed to his request, humming a soft laugh as he pushed away from Matt slightly and tried to quickly think of a way to get off of him without hurting himself more than he already had. He ran through a few different scenarios in his head before deciding on the simplest one. With a grunt he cautiously rolled himself over atop the red head, swinging his legs to the side afterwards and shifting so that Matt could get out from under him. Once he could relax back onto the couch he stretched, yawning as he looked over to his friend who had gone to fetch his shoes.

"Where are you going?"

Matt glanced over to his friend, now sitting on the floor as he laced up his tall, black boots. "Well I was thinking either Burger King or that one place that's a little ways past it."

"Sonic?"

Matt nodded, "Yeah, that place." Once he had his boots on securely he stood up and slipped on his thick vest.

"Ugh, no. Go to Burger King, Sonic sucks." Mello stated matter-of-factly, running a hand through his thick hair and then resting his head on the back of the couch. "Just get me whatever from there, I don't really care."

Matt nodded and fetched his wallet from the bedroom, tucking it into his back pocket as he walked back out to the couch. "Okay. I'll be back soon." He said with a soft smile, bending over to peck Mello's lips casually before leaving the apartment. Mello smiled back and watched him go, sighing out afterwards and relaxing. Today might be a good day… even though he couldn't walk. For the first time in a while, he could have a relaxing day and just watch TV—oh fucking hell. The blonde thought as he spied the remote perched atop the arm of the chair that was by far out of arm's reach. Now… how was he going to get hold of that?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

What number is that CD… the red head thought as he dusted his fingertips over the buttons in his car, occasionally glancing to the road to make sure that he wouldn't go off track. One, two, three, four—four; he was sure it was four. He pressed the button and focused on the road again, a smile coming across his face when it had in fact been the correct CD. Now he could relax while he went—fucking, no. Matt quickly turned his head, checking to see if he had done what he thought he did. Did I seriously just—God fucking damnit. He mentally cursed as he took a sharp detour so that he could turn around. He knew he'd end up missing his turn. Awesome, now he had to cross traffic.

After a few tense moments, Matt pulled into the Burger King parking lot and shut off his car. Like hell he was going through a drive through; intercoms made him feel awkward. Therefore, he would go through the still awkward task of face-to-face interaction by ordering his food inside. He made his way into the building and stood in line, leaning back against one of the rails as he quickly tried to come up with his order. Mello would want either a three or six… but… what do I want…? The red head thought, moving slowly up in line as his turn came closer and closer. Choose something fuck fuck fuck.

"Um, hi." He said awkwardly, keeping his eyes fixed on the menu board. "I want… a three and a six." He fished for his wallet, looking back to the young girl who was taking his order. She looked like she was still in high school…

"That'll be $10.46"

Matt snapped out of his thoughts and opened his wallet, pulling out the bills and then looking for change. He only had a ten and if he didn't have enough change… Fuck my life. He thought as embarrassment washed over him. "Crap. I only have twenty cents…" he said softly as he searched in the pockets of his wallet. If only he was exceedingly good-looking and charismatic… he could make up some story and get his food anyway. But he was just an oddly-dressed ginger who lacked social skills and now… now everyone was looking at him and thinking "wow, this guy sucks and can't even pay for burgers." And then he'd go home and Mello would think he was stupid for not bringing enough money and—

"It's fine… just give me that and it'll be okay. Don't worry!"

Matt froze his panicked thoughts and looked at the girl again. "Are… are you sure?" he asked, being slightly surprised at her kindness. "…Thank you so much." He mumbled as he paid for the food, taking his bags and quickly leaving as he tried to will away his nervous thoughts. At least he had pity on his side.

It wasn't until a while later that Matt arrived home, parking his car and making his way up the outside steps to his shared apartment. Finally he was home. His little escapade had sucked major dick and all he wanted to do was veg out on the couch and stuff his face with fatty, greasy foods.

He unlocked and pushed the door open, making his way into the room and pausing when he laid his green eyes onto his best friend.

"Mello… what the hell are you doing?"

IIIIIIIIIII

e_e Sorry this chapter took so long! I was a bit busy. D: But! Now I have things to say. (Other than that I think Matt's exceedingly attractive, he doesn't know what he's thinking.) But, considering the fact that I basically… write this story as I go along, (very loose story-line) I'm going to ask/tell anyone who reads this that I'd enjoy reading any ideas that you'd like to put into this story. I may even take them and actually put them in! So if you wanna see something happen, let me know and I'll see what I can do ;)
