Mello shifted on the couch, pulling two of the nearby pillows closer to himself as he pulled his feet up onto the couch, curling them a bit close to his body. "Can we have at least one light on?" He asked, looking over to Matt who was currently shutting out all the lights.

"Nope." The red head responded immediately, smiling once every light in the apartment had been turned off. Afterwards he closed the blinds over the windows, the only light illuminating the room now coming from the TV, which currently displayed the menu screen of the movie. After he'd finished all of the preparations he flopped down onto the couch next to the blonde, satisfied. "Ready?"

"No. Fuck you Matt." Mello retorted, leaning against one of the pillows casually while the other lay next to him, trying to look calm and casual.

Matt grinned to himself as he picked up the remote, hitting the button to start the movie. He then looked over at his friend. He is so unhappy right now. He thought with a smile, quietly snaking his hand over to the blonde's and taking hold of it gently. His smile widened when Mello didn't pull away from his touch. Slowly he rubbed his fingers over the skin, trying to soothe him a bit. He'd give Mello a hard time for sure, but he wouldn't be a complete dick.

Mello glanced at his hand when he felt Matt's touch, briefly thinking about pulling his hand away just to spite the other, but decided against it and moved his hand further into the red head's. I should have never told him that I believed in ghosts. He thought to himself as the movie began, watching the camera wobble around and the two characters talk about needless things. So far it was pretty boring; no ghosts or demons or anything. Hopefully it'd stay that way…

"Mhh…"

Matt glanced over at the blonde, his smile still in place from earlier. Personally, Matt wasn't fretting too much about this movie. He'd watched plenty of those 'ghost hunter' shows on TV and he'd heard that these movies are basically the same thing, so if those weren't that bad… this shouldn't be either. Though… over the years, Matt had learned that Mello was weird. So because of that… he probably would think the movies were scary.

As the movie went on and on, Mello sunk further and further into the couch. Along with holding onto Matt's hand, the blonde was now leaning against him with his body nestled comfortably between one of the pillows he was holding and Matt's shoulder. He wasn't hiding his eyes, though. He kept them focused on what was happening on the screen, making sure not to miss any detail.

"She is so possessed."

Matt looked over at the blonde for a moment and then back to the screen, watching the woman stand in place and stare. "Probably."

Mello made a bit of a face and curled up slightly more, watching the movie go on. That guy is so fucking stupid. You don't challenge a demon. You are all going to fucking die. He glanced at Matt. He would probably do that if we had a demon in the house. "Oh I'm atheist; demons aren't real so I can say whatever I want." Stupid fucking idiot. We would definitely die.

The movie began to wind down to the finish and Matt was grinning like an idiot. He'd heard that the end was the "scariest part" and he honestly couldn't wait to see Mello reaction. Please be something ridiculous… please. He thought happily, feeling Mello's hand hold onto his own a bit tighter as an array of sounds came from the TV, along with screams and then followed by silence.

When the guy of the story flew into the camera, dead, Matt was expecting Mello to have jumped. He wasn't expecting, though, to feel the familiar hard fist crash into his chest.

"AH—" he coughed, looking at Mello with wide, confused eyes as he put his free hand on his chest. "What the fuck was that?"

Mello continued to watch the screen, his fist still clenched and rising up a tiny bit as the woman walked into view. He watched until it faded to black and then turned to look at Matt, laughing a bit when he remembered that he'd punched him. "I guess it was a reflex. Sorry."

"Your reflex to a movie was to punch me?"

Mello laughed a bit, his body still pressed close to the other's. "I guess so. You were the closest thing to punch." He shrugged, relaxing his fist and lying it down in his lap. His body slowly relaxed but he didn't dare move from his spot. If he got up, demons would get him.

Matt stared at his friend, rubbing the sore spot on his chest. The worst part about being punched by Mello… is that the blonde often forgets just how strong he is. The new bruise he's sure to have will prove that. Regardless, though, they had another movie to watch.

"Ready for the next one?"

Mello glanced at his friend, his expression deadpanning. "Let's not watch that one."

"Oh no, we're watching it. Or at least I am. You can sit here and hide your eyes." He tugged his arm away from the blonde and stood, going to trade the first movie for the second. He knew Mello wouldn't be able to hold back his curiosity from just listening to the movie and he'd eventually watch it.

Mello grumbled and curled up even further on the couch, watching Matt set up the second movie. This one was supposed to be worse than the first… and he wasn't excited.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"C'mon Mello, time for bed." Matt chirped with a smile, trying to coax his friend off of the couch. Mello, however, just stared him down and stayed put.

"I really don't feel like going into a dark bedroom right now. Not when I know you're going to be inviting demons into it."

Matt furrowed his brow a bit and laughed. "I'm not going to be inviting anything." He smiled and jogged off to the bedroom, turning on the light inside as well as the light in the hall. Afterwards, he walked back to Mello and looked him over. "And now the lights are on, so it's not even dark."

When he saw Matt approach him again, he looked around him towards the bedroom, seeing that the lights were in fact on. He paused for a moment and then grunted, standing up from the couch and quickly walking to the confines of the bedroom, crawling onto the bed afterwards and waiting for Matt to join him.

Matt watched him go, a sly smirk spreading across his face as an idea popped into his mind. No… no he couldn't pass this up. It was the perfect opportunity. He waited until he heard the creaks of the boarding of the bed, knowing that Mello had situated himself. He then drew in a deep breath and screamed out, lacing fear and surprise into his voice. "FUCK! Fuck Mello what the fuck is that?"

Mello sat quietly on the bed, waiting. He wasn't quiet though when he heard Matt's cries, it startling him and causing him to yell out a bit in surprise.

"Goddamnit Matt fuck you! You suck so fucking much!" he yelled out afterwards, throwing a pillow angrily towards the door. Matt just had to be an ass and scare him. He frowned and moved back on the bed to lean back against the headboard, his frown growing larger as he heard Matt's happy laughter echo through the living room. Stupid jerk.

Matt shook with laughter, stumbling towards the bedroom as he heard Mello's anger. "Chill out… it was a little funny, you have to admit." He grinned at the other as he closed the door, moving over to the bed afterwards and sitting down on the edge.

With a disapproving expression, Mello just looked at him, completely ignoring the statement. After a moment he undid his pants and slipped them off, sitting in only boxers and his top. "Shut up."

Matt snorted a little laugh and undressed as well, stretching out afterwards and crawling onto the bed towards the blonde. He pulled back the blankets and sighed out, sliding beneath them and curling up.

With a pause, the blonde furrowed his brow. "No. You're sleeping with me tonight. You can't expect me to watch those movies and then lay in bed alone, waiting for demons to drag me away." He smiled a bit, moving beneath the covers next to the red head and sliding over to nestle against him. He then wrapped his strong arms around his middle, nuzzling into his upper back and neck slightly. "Mh…"

Matt smiled as well and leaned back into the blonde's embrace, one of his hands finding its way to rest atop Mello's. He sighed contently and closed his eyes, his body fitting each curve of the other's perfectly as he relaxed against him. "Mello... if you get dragged away tonight, just yell really loud and I might save you." He smiled playfully, his eyes closed.

The blonde breathed a laugh and kissed the back of his friend's head, holding him a bit tighter. "You might?" He smiled a bit more and breathed out slowly, his nose buried in Matt's thick hair. "I'll try not to get dragged away then…" he nodded, slowly giving in to the urges of sleep.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The next morning, Matt awoke to the soft sounds of Mello's voice, along with a comfortable pressure on his chest. He fluttered his eyes open and was greeted with the sight of said blonde's soft face hovering a bit over his own, looking down at him.

"Get up. Matt… c'mon."

He blinked a bit in confusion before closing his eyes and stretching, his breath coming out in a slow sigh. "Mhh… what for?" He asked with a groggy tone, looking up at his friend lazily. As he breathed in, he smelled the aroma of coffee as it wafted though the room, as well as pancakes and bacon. "…Mello, did you actually cook food?"

The blonde shrugged, his hands pressed on Matt's broad chest with his body leaning over the other's, propped on his knees with one knee resting between the gamer's legs. "I tried. I really suck though." He said with a laugh, dipping his head down to softly peck the red head's lips, moving up and off of the bed afterwards. He stretched upwards with a sigh, his shirt riding up slightly as he does so to show off his lower stomach and hip bones. "Come eat some of it before it's cold and sucks even more."

Matt groaned a bit and sat up, rubbing sleep from his eyes. He waved a hand at the other, mumbling to him that he was coming. After a moment he stood up and stretched, his back cracking a few times in the process. "Okay… okay I'm coming." He smiled and walked out of the room with the blonde, sitting down at the table once they entered the kitchen.

Mello went over to the counter and began putting things onto a plate for his friend, setting it down in front of him afterwards and then making a plate for himself. "I haven't eaten any yet so I don't know how bad it is yet." He laughed a bit, sitting down in the chair next to Matt.

"I can't cook either, it's fine." Matt laughed and prodded at his pancake a bit before taking a bite. A little dry… but not bad. He glanced over at Mello and smiled, nodding slightly. "They're good." He assured, eating more of the food. Honestly, the food in general was better than waking up and eating cereal or something. He wasn't going to complain… what if this gave him confidence to cook more often? Then he wouldn't have to do anything. That sounded good to him. "I like it a lot."

After a slightly surprised look, Mello smiled and breathed a laugh. "Oh. Thanks." He ate a bit of the food himself, looking down at it as he did so. It wasn't that great, but it wasn't bad enough to stop eating it. I guess this means breakfast was a success. Maybe—

"Hey Mello, I have something to tell you. It's important."

The blonde looked over at him with a questioning face, raising a brow. "…yeah?"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

This chapter was terrible. I'm sorry Dx. I had a lot of writer's block with this one, haha. But! I think it'll be better from now on and I'll try not to have anymore multiple week long breaks, xDD. (still sorry about that!)

Hope you enjoyed this one at least slightly xD.
