Christmas

25th December 2004
Guess's POV

"Merry Christmas!" I called to Matt as he walked in. I was sat at my desk drawing some festive things to get me in the spirit. I was finding it difficult, though.

Ever since Mello left, the both of us have changed. We are more... rebellious and Matt had started smoking. I tried to stop him, but he was so angry at the time, it was just after Mello left, I couldn't convince him. He managed to smuggle them in somehow and always opened a window and locked the door to light one. Still, though... for some reason, the cigarettes suited him in a way, the smell and taste, I'll admit I was growing on them but still was against them, they were gradually killing him after all. I still had no idea how Roger hadn't noticed the smell on his clothes, I suppose that's why we always kept our distance from him; I thought Roger had become depressed after Watari and L died. But despite the smoking, we'd become a closer. But anyway;

"Merry Christmas," Matt said as he walked in. He locked the door and opened the window as I sat at my desk eyeing up on of the tabs I had open with a smirk.

"Wanna see your Christmas present?" I asked, spinning on the chair to face him. He took the newly lit cigarette from his mouth and tapped it, letting the ashes fall out of the window as he blew the smoke from his mouth and nose. He looked hot like that, despite killing himself... God dammit. He tilted his head to the side. I beckoned him closer so that he could look at the screen. After inhaling one more breath of the fag, he left it on a plate he'd brought up before hand on the windowsill, and came to look at the screen, breathing out the smoke again. I spun around and changed tab. On it had a single floored apartment in America -where we deduced Mello had gone after doing a lot of research and all nighters-. Matt looked at it in disbelief.

"No... Way..." he said under his breath.

"Yes, way!" On the bottom of the page, it said 'SOLD'.

"You did not just buy that!" He cried, still in disbelief.

"No, I was just kidding, funny joke ya? Of course, I bought it!"

"Oh my fucking God, Guess, I love you!" He said in excitement. He took hold of my hands and pulled me off my chair into a tight embrace. "How did you even pay for this?!"

"I found our inheritance from L, Mello found his before he left too, I went to see if I could get any details of his whereabouts from there, but all I found draining his account was chocolate, he's found someone to stay with, might have joined up with a gang..." I stopped myself as I began to ramble. "But the apartment barely made a dent in the sheer amount of money in there, we are set for life!" He pulled me into another hug. Pulling away he planted a kiss onto my lips. I looked into the lenses of his orange tinted goggles and set my eyes on his green ones.

"My Christmas present for you I'm afraid does not match up to that."

"What is it?" I asked excitedly.

"Wait, need to finish this," he said breathing out another puff of smoke. I coughed a little as it went into my face and wafted it away. The cancer stick eventually burnt away and he took my hand, leading me into his room.

He lifted his laptop from his bed and propped it onto his lap, as you should. I sat beside him as he pushed the on button.

"Don't tell me, you bought an apartment too?" I asked.

"Haha, no! Don't worry!" the laptop started up quite quickly and soon he had the internet up, he hadn't fully shut it down so the page was still on the screen; flight tickets to America for February 1st.

"Wha- what?!" I shouted, "Okay, this is almost too weird but I don't even freaking care! We're going to America?!" I shouted he laughed and put on of his fingers on my lips. Oh yeah, Roger, right.

"I found the inheritance too, I saw a large bill leave the account for an apartment but I thought it was Mello. " I lifted the laptop and placed it on the desk.

"I think this requires a celebration!" He chuckled as I pulled him closer to me into a deep kiss. And so I had my first 'Merry' Christmas.

Sorry, I haven't uploaded, but I've been obsessed with cosplay research! And been watching Tokyo Ghoul. Oh, my god, it's amaze. Almost finished season 2. Anyway, I went to a London Anime and Gaming con' yesterday (7th February 2016) and it was so cool to see all the COSPLAY!!! Believe it or not but I found a Matt cosplayer and I was legit like "I'm dying. I'm dying. I'm dying. I'm dying. I'm dying." I did go up to them and talk to them a little so don't worry ^.^ I was wondering if any of you guys were there but I doubt it xD if you were, I was cosplaying as Asuna from Sword Art Online (not in the cosplay masquerade) in the outfit she wears meeting up with Kazuto in real life and points out the fact that they're both wearing their 'old colours'. Very specific, I know. But yes, back to le Guessers!

Thank you all for putting up with my rambling in the recent chapters, it's much appreciated, every read means so much to me ^.^

If you guys cosplay and have made your own cosplay before, please don't hesitate to message me because as I'm not old enough for a job, I don't have the money to spend on a £60 Asuna cosplay outfit and am turning to my Grandmother to help me make it (herro if you're reading this xD) so if you have any tips on where to begin, materials, etc let me know, I need all the help I can get :P
