-Mello-

It was ridiculously easy to beat Misa's team at volley ball. When I saw her pouting I thought I would throw her a bone, call it a "thank you" by crushing Matt to me and kissing him deeply in front of half of the crew.

"What was that for?" Aw, cute, he turned the same color as his hair.

"Celebratory kiss" I stated innocently.

"But everyone is staring."Whining? Really, Matt? I scoffed.

"Matt, you're with me. People are going to stare." Huge ego? Me? Noooo. What makes you say that? (that sarcasm for the "Misa-like" people out there) Apparently Matt was used to my ego by now because he made no comment. Another group of people from the shoot was starting a Frisbee game so Matt and I joined in simply to not have to play volleyball with Misa again. A few hours later we both were getting hungry and had sand all over us. (I had tackled Matt into the surf to get the Frisbee. Why yes I am competitive.)

"Let's go shower and get some food," a slightly sun-burned Matt suggested. I agreed. As we walked away a sea of giggles followed. Really, what was it about girls Never mind. Not sure I want to know.

When we got back to the room I was going to be nice and let him have the shower first. However, much to my surprise (and delight) I was drug (literally) into the shower by the red-head. As I was pressed to the cold tile I couldn't help but gasp. Matt took this opportunity to kiss me, twining his tongue with mine. My brain fizzled. He was a fast learner. After recovering, I began to kiss back, fighting for dominance of the kiss. Matt simply laughed grinding his hips against mine.

"Cheat." I hissed into the kiss.

"Me? Cheat? Never." Damn, using my own weapons against me. First seduction then sarcasm; what could be next? After a very nice, very sexy shower complete with roaming hands, (did I mention Matt was a very fast learner?) we dressed and headed to the beach front caf . We sat at a wooden table under a brightly colored umbrella listening to the waves. We laughed and talked until our sandwiches arrived. However, as large as the resort is, Misa seems to have a magnetic pull to us or something because our quiet, peaceful lunch was interrupted by Misa and Ratio. Misa drug the poor man (just because I hate him doesn't mean I have absolutely no sympathy to his plight) to our table; damn, girl is stronger than she looks.

"Mello-kun! Matt-kun!" With that she shoved Raito into a chair and plopped down next to him. Joy.

"So how are you two doing! Misa-Misa knows you're together. Misa is smart!"Riiiight, you just keep on thinking that.

"Misa, maybe we shouldn't interrupt them " Thank God, Ratio has some sense. But Misa ruined all hopes by pulling the puppy pout and ordering food anyways.

"Matt-kun, how are the pictures?" Matt blushed.

"I haven't started editing them yet."

"Aww, why not?"Misa pouted. Matt choked on his Dr. Pepper.

"I've been um busy?" Oh you've been "busy" alright. Self control, self control Ah screw it. I leaned over the table to give him a lingering kiss.

"Very busy." Misa gave a happy squee. Rolling my eyes I asked for a to-go box for Matt and myself when the waitress dropped off the food for Misa and Ratio. Misa pouted as we excused ourselves, but then smiled brightly, winking.

"Have fun!" I though Matt was going to die of mortification. I laughed.

Once freed from the evil clutches of Miss Bitch and her Boy Toy we wandered to an abandoned stretch of beach to sit and finish our food. We sat in silence, listening to the waves. When I finished I moved to sit behind him, pulling between my legs, coaxing him to lean against my chest. He finally did so relaxing against me. I wrapped my arms around him resting my chin on his shoulder, finding no need to break the peaceful silence. Apparently Matt did though.

"Hey, Mello?" I gave a lazy "Hm?" in his ear as a reply.

"Just what are we? Are we together, dating, or is this just one of those things that it's here for now but the second we get on the plane is over?" I sighed.

"What do you want it to be?" He started squirming, and even though I couldn't see his face I could practically hear the blush in his voice.

"Well, I wouldn't mind getting to know you better " I could feel his heart racing under my hand. Smirking I started kissing his neck.

"I-is that a yes?" So cute. Nipping his ear I replied.

"Congratulations, you have a boyfriend" Matt beamed, giving me that boyish smile that I was falling for.

The rest of the day was uneventful. It passed quietly, most of the time Matt and I were just sitting and talking on the beach. After another shared shower (and just a shower, no extra activities) we climbed into the bed, again no extra "activities". However, Matt is really cuddly, and oddly enough, I've found I don't mind. I was happy? I did get a chaste "good night" kiss from my red-head though. He snuggled close and fell asleep. Smiling I turned off the light and followed suit.

"I kinda hate to leave." I hummed in agreement continuing to pack my bag. I finished long before Matt, and, feeling sorry for him, started to pack his clothes. He can deal with all the electronic shit.

"Shit we're late!" No shit, Matt. Grabbing our bags Matt and I hurried to the car that would take us to the airport. Misa said breakfast would be on the plane. We made it in time, and we weren't even the last ones. The drive to the airport was uneventful. Misa was annoying, Raito was a douche, nothing new. We stowed our bags and settled into the plush seats. Smirking I leaned over and kissed Matt. He hummed and kissed back.

"So, how do you feel about joining the mile-high club?"

His face was priceless.
