Good memories and Nightmares. (Fluffy)

Part 2: Kingdom Hearts

   Mello watched the girl leave, sighing. As the door swung back to its closed position, he found a rather large crack running through its backside. Probably a product of his earlier rage fit. The blonde grumbled a muffled curse word and examined the gash, it cut a jagged line  from the base of the door up to the hinge, about a foot or two up. "Awe shit.. Rodger is gonna murder me.." he muttered to himself. The boy gave a soft groan in frustration, but knew there was nothing he could do about the crack at this moment in time and decided to let it be for now.

  The blonde spun on his heel to face Matt. The other boy was in his own little world, burried under his blankets and curled around his PSP in bed. The blonde smirked to himself, knowing how oblivious Matt was.

   He kicked off his combat boots and crawled up into the redhead's bed, yawning. It was only maybe 6pm, but his day had been long and tantrum inducng. A nap sounded just about perfect right now.

    He tapped the boy's arm softly "Hey Matt?" He asked gently.  

    Matt looked up through his orange goggles at him. "H-huh? Oh. Hey Mello.. When did you get up here?" He asked, puzzled as to what he had missed while playing. The redhead had a dazed look on his face.

  "Just now." The blonde replied. He moved, geting close enough to see the game over the side of his shoulder. He leaned his chin on the other's small shoulder.

"Oh. " Matt sighed, turning back to his game.

"Watcha playing ?" Mello pushed, trying to suck a drop of attention out of him.

"Kingdom Hearts." The boy said absently.

"Are you winning ?"

"You can't realy 'win' in this one.. but you can kill stuff." The redhead scoffed. Amused at how nieve the boy was.

"Cool..." Mello said, about ready to accept defeat and take a nap in his own bed.

"C-can I try?" He said, almost in a last resort.

  Matt paused his game, silencing the theme music and clicking of the buttons. His bright green eyes captivated Mello in a confused look "Do you know how to play?" He asked, giving a slight chuckle.

  Mello looked down momentarily "Can you teach me?" He questioned, almost timidly.

   The redhead laughed at this, not cruely, but in  a soft, loving way. "I suppose I could.." he smirked and pulled the other boy to sit between his legs. Matt hugged the blonde from behind and put the PSP in his hands, guiding his fingers onto the right buttons and gripping it with his own hands over Mello's slim fingers. "So the object is to kill all those black things after you and not die yourself. Then there's a boss at the end. " The redhead explained, his lips were only inches from his friend's ear.

  Mello nodded in understanding, blonde hair shaking with the movement of his head. "Am I that guy with the weird hair?"

Matt chuckled and leaned his chin against Mello's shoulder. "Yup. His name is Sora." He explained patiently. "You get it?"

"I think so.. let's see." Mello said  confidently as he pressed the start button, unpausing the game.

  The animation whirled to life and the enemies launched themselves at his character. Mello dodged many of them and hit all the others, soon taking out a hoard. 

 

  Once there was nothing but extra health and money  around his character, the blonde looked back to Matt "Um.. now what?" He asked softly.

  Matt had an impressed smile on his face "Wow Mel. You're doing great!" He exclaimed. And leaned forward, pressing a shy kiss on the other's cheek.

  Mello grinned as a pink flush filled his cheeks. "I-I am?"

"Yeah, awsome! Now go in the cave for the boss." Matt assured him and pointed to the mouth of a dark cave next to the character.

  The blonde looked down, wearing a slightly embarrassed look. "I'm scared though..Can't you fight it for me?" He implored.

  Matt burst into hysterical laughter "B-beat if f-for you!?" He laughed out in between gulps of air. "Th-that's like the w-whole point of t-the level!!"

"Y-yeah.." Mello said timidly

  Matt composed himself after a moment, still smirking "But what for? You're doing so well!" He inquired.

"Well what if I mess up? Or die?" The blonde feared.

"Then you start again." Matt attempted to sooth him. "But don't be scared. You're my brave little soldier..." He added softly, flushing the slightest bit pink.

  Mello chuckled nervously "I-I am?"

"Yes."

  Confidence flooded through Mello's veins by the truckload at his words. He wore a brave, stoic look and pressed start.  "I got this then.." His voice shook slightly but he ignored it, furiously clicking buttons. The boss was hard to beat, but he would. For Matt. The blonde etched that thought into his brain for extra determination as his character flew around the screen and hit the boss over and over.

  Five minutes later the boss fell. The cut screen popped up signifying his victory. Mello threw his hands up in sheer glee, his palms sweaty from holding the device. "I did it!!" He grinned widely and turned back to Matt.

  The redhead smiled at him softly "Of course you did, my brave little soldier." He replied simply.

  The next thing he knew, Matt was gathered into a bone crushing hug. The arms of the blonde were wrapped tightly around him. He chuckled lightly, holding the other boy close and forgetting completely about the game. Both of their cheeks had become dusted with pink blushes as they hugged. After a few long moments in the embrace, Mello pulled away, rather awkwardly and looked into Matt's eyes. Icy blue irises sparked into vibrant green orbs.

  The blonde was the one to break the stare, inverting his eyes down to the covers of the bed. He realized he was still curled in Matt's lap, crosslegged with the other's legs around him. He smiled, relishing in their closeness.

  Matt smirked to himself and lay back on the bed, resting his mop of red hair on the pillow and looking up at the boy.

  Mello followed him, laying his head on Matt's chest with a content sigh and curling the rest of his body to fit perfectly at his side. He was rewarded with a mirror of his sigh and the arm of his friend around him.

 

  The redhead's hand placed itself at the small of his back, tracing tiny circles into his shirt.

  The blonde closed his eyes, loving the feeling. Slowly, and gladly, he began to drift off in Matt's arms. His thoughts became less coherent and he drifted into sweet, oblivious sleep.

  "Hey Mel?" The redhead asked after a moment, not realizing the boy was asleep. When he didn't reply, Matt glanced down at him, seeing his soft, blonde eyelashes closed against his cheek bones. Seeing the sleeping boy made his heart leap in his chest. Awe.. must have worn himself out.. Matt thought with a yawn. He found his own eyelids becoming harder and harder to keep open. Fighting sleep was obviously not an option tonight. With Mello on his chest, he couldn't reach his PSP. Might as well.. he figured and let his eyelids close out the world. Darkness captured his vision and the boy was soon asleep, holding his love close to his chest.
