Blissful

Mello sat quietly keeping his gaze down in his menu in the hopes that the red head wouldn't notice that he was avoiding him. Matt had…held his hand. He had just started this whole relationship thing and the red head decided that he should hold his hand…in public where people could see them. The idea almost made him twitch, he would have but he knew that the red head was staring at him intently from the other side of the table, unblinkingly. He wouldn't say anything about it. During this time he didn't even have it in himself to pull his hand back from Matt. He had to show the other that this wasn't just for show, that he was actually being serious about this. He was being serious right?

"Matt, you talk about me staring at people what about when you do it?" He questioned finally looking up but still not meeting the intense green gaze that watched him intensely from the opposing side of the table. The red head hadn't spoken since he told him to shut up, but that wasn't unusual. Matt didn't usually talk a lot in public. He somewhat wondered if the other felt him when he stiffened as he grasped his hand. He felt bad for what he had done but he doubted that the other felt it. "Matt, seriously stop staring at me before I do something about it."

"Okay." Was the gentle reply from across the table. The softness of the voice was enough to get him to look up and into green eyes that were uncovered for once. Matt was balancing his head on his hand allowing red hair to run sideways giving a rare glimpse to both his glittering green eyes. Mello almost gasped but instead he watched a slow but sure smile spread over the others lips. Matt wasn't even smirking, he was actually smiling at him and it looked cute. God, what was wrong with him? "Finally decided to look at me princess?"

Blue eyes narrowed, "Don't call me princess." He began watching the other continue to smile before sighing. "So how does this whole gay thing work seeing as you've been gay for quite a few years? You know I just started like ten minutes ago." He felt awkward talking about it but he knew that if he kept quiet that the other wouldn't think he was serious. At least now Matt would consider moving back in whenever what he was doing was over. He paused, did he really want Matt to move back in now? What exactly does living together as a couple encompass. He almost shivered but he knew the other would stop smiling. He didn't want that to happen yet, he hadn't seen him happy like this in a long time.

He shrugged, "Sorry. It's just the first thing that comes to mind when you look at you." His smile lessened slightly as he continued to look at the other. Mello was his boyfriend though he wouldn't say that outside, it would only set the other off to hear it out loud. "As for being gay, I don't know any more than you do. I've never dated anyone before; I mean I've fancied you for years. I couldn't just bring myself to run off with some other guys but there were a few that I actually considered." Mello's eyes narrowed. "I'm joking. You're already getting jealous."

Mello looked away from the other, "That's not true in the least." He replied seriously folding his arms over his chest just as the waitress approached the table for their orders. "I'll have water and a fruit salad." He mumbled as she smiled and nodded looking over at Matt before tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"And your order sir?" She whispered in an attempt to get Matt's attention. "Would you like anything sweet?"

He nodded, "Sweet tea would be good and how about the cheeseburger." He folded his menu closed and slid it towards her. She took care to touch his hand as she picked it up from him. Matt just looked a bit surprised before slowly pulling his hand back.

She nodded in their direction, "If there's anything at all that you need feel free to call me." She smirked slightly before turning and heading down the hallway towards the kitchens.

Mello leaned back in his chair rocking slightly to edge off the annoyance. "Excuse me sir but do women usually flirt with you like that?" He could tell instantly that Matt didn't know what he was talking about. "The waitress has a thing for you. How did you not feel it? She was practically throwing herself at you so that you would notice her a bit more."

He shrugged, "I wasn't paying attention. I mean she's just a girl."

"You're her type." He answered seriously shaking his head. He had seen enough of this in all the clubs that he visited with the mafia. Women threw themselves at the one they found the most appealing but Matt wasn't a part of the mafia. He had power but no one really knew about it. He had to be one of the best hackers in the world, if not the best. He was handsome in some ways, okay a lot of ways. His had beautiful green eyes and an even more beautiful smile. He had his own style that didn't change no matter how old they got. When Mello changed Matt soothingly stayed the same.

Matt looked up from something in his lap, "You're my type." Mello turned away before the blush could bloom across his face. "Look Mell you don't have to worry about women because I don't like them and you don't have to worry about men because they're not you." He grinned as he watched the blond nod slowly. "We can take things as slowly as you want to. I don't mind, I've waited about fifteen years so I think I can wait until you get used to me in this way."

He nodded barely noticing when the waitress returned to place their drinks in front of them. She also slid his salad in front of him with nothing but fat free dressing. Was this bitch calling him fat?

She turned her back to him. "I'm so sorry but your sandwich will be a few more minutes. I'll bring it to you as soon as it's done." Matt just nodded slowly continuing to stare at his lap. "What cha doing?"

He lifted the PSP. "Being awesome."

Mello stabbed the dry salad, "Don't you have a job to do that's not over here?" He hissed and she gave him an unsavory look before walking away. "Can you 'be awesome' some other time?" He bit into his salad.

Matt shook his head, "Sorry it's an all the time thing." He flashed a smile. "You really shouldn't be mean to waitress when she's the one serving us. I'm going to be pissed if she spits in my food because you're a bit testy." He fell silent playing through several levels of his game quietly but Mello didn't have an answer. He was right. That woman didn't know that they were dating and it shouldn't even bother him because Matt wasn't paying any attention. Dating was difficult and it had only been like an hour. "Anyway I left a lot of my monitors in my old bedroom. Much appreciated if you kept the door locked so people don't steal them?"

Blue eyes glanced up, "Old?"

He nodded, "I have a new bedroom therefore my past one would be old. I would think you would have understood that. But seriously don't forget to lock the door on your way out and make sure you're not arguing with Miss Emily. She's only mean when you're mean to her and usually she's not even trying to be mean to you."

"I can take care of myself Matt and Emily is an old unmarried bat." He reached across snatching the game out of Matt's hands listening with satisfaction when his character died. "Trust me when I say she's bitter."

Matt frowned, "Her fiancé died in the war Mello. The least you can do is show some respect." He shook his head just as the waitress returned with his burger. He smiled and she nodded heading off again.

Mello continued to stab his salad without speaking. This wasn't how Matt had envisioned the two of them being together but he still wouldn't complain. A little of something was better than a whole lot of nothing. He had dealt with years of nothing and he wasn't trying to mess something up just because Mello is being temperamental.

Mello assumed that the best way to assert dominance in the relationship is some form was to pay for their meal. So that's what he did he placed the money on the table to keep from throwing it at the waitress. He really wanted to hit her with something even now she was subtlety attempting to distract Matt from his self-proclaimed awesomeness which was exactly why Mello had given him his game back so he wouldn't notice.

"Matt let's go." He stood and Matt instantly turned the game off and did the same. "Well that's obedient." He mumbled strolling out the doors. He didn't make it fast enough for the waitress to call, 'come back sometime soon.' He mumbled something under his breath about her but Matt just waved and followed Mello out the door.

The car ride back to his motorcycle didn't change his mood either but the look on Matt's face when they arrived back at the park did. "You have to go?" Matt asked softly with a frown.

He nodded, "I've already disappeared from where I'm supposed to be. If I stay out any longer they'll either say I'm dead or send someone looking for me." He slid out of the car. "Don't worry, I'll try to call you tonight. Stay out of trouble, I don't want to have to save your ass."

Matt nodded, "I'll try but when you're this awesome it's kind of difficult." He flashed a smile as Mello straddled his bike. "Bye Mell." The other put his helmet on and held up a hand as a goodbye before revving and speeding down the street. "Right." He put his own car in reverse and pulled out heading back to his own headquarters.
