Mission four: Closer

Matt was tired of pondering over the pictures he had received in the mail from L. He was so tired of them to the point he had slipped the under Mello's door while the man was sleeping from an all night session from being on his laptop.Same pictures, same thoughts. Mello. That man was odd enough as is. They hadn't had much contact after the hallway incident other than a quick brainstorming session together three days ago but other than that it was best for them to keep their distance.

He shivered at the idea of what might happen if they were to get too close again. Both he and Mello seemed to have seen the error in their ways and trusted one and another enough to know what they shouldn't be anywhere near each other for longer than an hour. He was frightened to picture what he believed would happen if they were in too close of a proximity to one and another for a second time or if he trusted himself to call Mello on another bluff. He certainly thought he was more intelligent than that but he didn't know what he was right now.

He leaned forward switching games as he heard Mello's bedroom door open. He guessed the man had finally awoken from his slumber and was hungry or searching for a chocolate bar. It wasn't unusual for him to wake and head into the kitchen first thing. He paused his hand on the 'open' button of his Dreamcast wondering why he had adapted to learning Mellos schedule after he had woken from sleeping.

"Matt?" Mello questioned leaning over the back of the couch to get a better look at the red head. When he didn't move he rolled his eyes, "Matt, hey, I'm talking to you." He reached forward picking up the television controller and tossing it at the red fringe where it bounced off landing beside the X box in the far corner under the entertainment center. Mello grudgingly took a stroll around the side of the couch bending down beside the other boy that seemed to be frozen in time before reaching out and snapping his finger a few times in his face. Being rude to this kid never seemed to work, being nice to him resulted in a make out session he didn't see how they were going to get along. "Matty, sweetheart, darling." He shoved the other finally receiving a reply. Well something of a reply, the red head began another blush on that pale face of his. He didn't get out much that was for sure.

Matt had fallen over from the shove and simply laid there. He was perfectly aware that the other man had been speaking to him and with Mello's PMSing mood swinging it seemed a bit insane to ignore him but how other was he going to be able to get the blond to go away. What was worse was that he had decided to get closer like it was imperative for them to speak at that very second. His body was going to act no matter how much he willed it not to forming a reasonable blush from the cutesy names Mello had adapted to calling him to get a rise out of the normally smooth gamer. "Eh?"

"Eh?" Mello leaned forward straddling Matt's frame to get a better look at the man. He wasn't touching the gamer, on the contrary he was going out of his way to keep a fair distance of their bodies connecting in anyway that could possibly trigger another anything out of the two of them. His spider like pose wasn't exactly comfortable but he needed a decent look at that angelic face. "I called you and all you have to offer me is eh?"

Matt shrugged choosing to remain on his stomach under the other, emerald gaze up and locked with lightening blue. "That's what I said, eh? What do you want? Pay back for the hallway incident?" He asked his gaze sliding down and returning to the wall before Mello slammed his fist down in front of the others face. The red head jumped reasonably slamming his body into Mello's before recontracting with the wooden floor again after he was startled.

Mello slipped, both hands sliding from their positions when Matt bumped him he collided with the others backside holding his head. Apparently there had been more than one connection with heads. "Damn it!" He hissed his head laying on Matts shoulder. They were in the position that both of them had attempted to avoid. "Fucking...fuck it." He shifted a bit sighing, "Now that I have your attention I want you to listen to me. I was reviewing what you had slid under my door, the pictures from the crime scene and also the statements taken from the bodyguard. A few things struck me as odd from the things he had bothered mumbling to the police so we should visit him."

Matt nodded slowly not trusting his voice now that he felt the man pressed against him. He turned his head finding that he couldn't take the comfort of hiding in his vest that was pinned under his form. He restrained the whine that burned in his throat, he refused to look weak right now in front of the blond but either way Mello had the upper hand and he was the one on top.

Mello shifted pulling himself off of Matt though he seemed to be taking his time. "Good. We'll go tomorrow make sure you're up and ready I don't want to have to drag you out of bed, okay?" He looked down at the boy who nodded again. He leaned forward smirking at the look on the gamers face, "You're such a pervert. What would a want with a kid like you anyway? All you do is stay inside, hack and play video games as a grown man."

Matt frowned biting his lip. 'Don't call it. Don't call it. Don't call him on it.' He couldn't help himself. "I don't know you tell me. What would you want?" Matt snapped catching Mello completely off guard. He smirked moving in on the other as Mello fell back on his bum. He slinked forward lifting a hand to caress Mello's feline features the surprised look never leaving his face as he leaned forward. The blond never moved blue eyes questioning the others every movement.

This was it, seconds before Matt could press his lips to his own he shoved him away. He couldn't handle it again, not a second time. The first kiss had been enough of a threat to his abstinence the second one could shatter it completely. That few minutes in the hallway had caused him several days of intense prayer and even a bit of fasting. He wasn't sure if the lord would forgive him if he were to indulge on his passion.

Matt jumped, eyes wide and questioning. "Ho shit." He managed before he slid across the floor into the wall. "Damn it Mello!" He snapped as the blond darted back into his bedroom slamming the door shut. He sighed, well he guessed he won that match more or less but he was looking forward to the kiss even if it was a peck on the lips. He shrugged closing the game station and picking up the controller. He smirked lighting a cigarette, he needed one after that. He had won. About damn time.

~One thing leads to another Agents.

[Well yes there was the next Chapter as promised. Don't get used to the daily updates and whatnot but when I can do them I shall. This chapter was primarily interaction between Matt and Mello and Mello's personal struggle with his religion. I'm not sure if Catholicism is going to play a big part or not but if it does it will come later. Other than that the next chapter that was alluded to shall focus on the case, I'm not sure if I can fit any sexual tension in there but maybe they both need a break. Eh. As usual, Please! Please! Please! Review! This chapter is dedicated to munnins-memory! My first reviewer! I'm seriously thankful for it!]
