In the Meantime. (MattXOC Death Note Fanfic)

Decisions

     "Shit!" Matt cried.
     "What's up?" Guess looked up from her game.
     "Of course, they'd disappear during my shift! Right, I've got to call Mello." Matt picked up his phone and dialled the number. As soon as Mello picked up he began to speak. "Shit! I was tricked. They paid off the deliveryman who carried in food yesterday and got out with their equipment on the delivery truck. A moment ago, I caught the deliveryman when he came out counting lots of bills joyfully and asked him. I found the room empty and I don't know how many were there. I've been watching through video cameras all the doorways and windows, but they his themselves cunningly behind the door of the delivery truck... Damn them..."
     "Matt, I'm going to Japan after Mogi. You come later, too." Mello said through the phone.
     "Eh? Japan? You mean it?"
     "Yeah, by the way, can Guess hear us?"
     "No, just me."
     "There is a possibility of death, a decently high one. I don't know when exactly, but it's there. Take her life into account. It's your decision, your girl," Mello said through the phone. Matt hung up and put his head in his hands as he sat on the bed.
     "Are you alright? And what's happening with Japan?" she asked, concerned.
     "I'm fine, just a little headache, is all, and Mello is heading to Japan to track Mogi," he lied.
     "Japan? Do we need to go?"
     "Not yet. He'll let us know," Matt lied again.

     As the day went by, all Matt could do was think. Guess walked into the room. "I'm going to bed, it's been a long day!"
     "I'll be with you in a minute," Matt said as he got up from the bed and headed to the toilet.
     "Okay," she smiled, catching him before he left the room and kissing him on the cheek. "If there's anything bothering you, you can tell me," she said sincerely.
     He chuckled, "I promise you, I'm fine! Just going to take a shower." He kissed her on the forehead and left the room. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, but nothing would wash away the heartbreaking decision he had to make. He looked in the mirror, his hair still dripping, "That was the first time I ever lied to her..." he whispered. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Matt dried off his hair with a towel walked back into the bedroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. Guess lay on the bed playing on the PSP; she wore a black tank top and shorts and the goggles Matt gave her all those years ago hung around her neck - she rarely took them off.
     "So has Mello got a plan?" she asked, eyes still on the PSP.
     "Nearly there, just some finishing touches. He said he'd be done by morning," he lied. 'Twice in one day... She doesn't deserve this...' he thought. He flicked the light off letting the PSP light the room and sat next to her. He rested his head on his pillow and watched her play, "Take a right here," he said.
      "I know, I know," she giggled. After she completed the level, she switched off the PSP leaving the room in complete darkness and rolled over to put it on the bedside table. Matt shuffled closer to her and wrapped his arms around her and began tenderly kissing her neck from behind. She giggled again, "Are you, by any chance, after something?"
       "Maybe," he said, his words muffled in her neck. She rolled over and he positioned himself above her, one leg between hers and continued kissing her down her collarbone, finding the sweet spot he knew so well. Guess tangled her fingers in her soft hair whilst his kissed his way back up her neck to her lips. After sharing a passionate kiss, he pulled away, looking deep into her eyes. She smiled up at him and he gave a small smile back, moving a strand of hair from her face. "Guess, I love you. No matter what," he said as he caressed her cheek.
       "I love you, too," she replied softly, pulling him into another kiss.
       "And, yes, I may or may not be after something," he said playfully.
       She laughed as she lifted up her knee slightly, rubbing up against his crotch. "Then come find it," she purred seductively.
       He bit his lip, stifling a moan, "God, you're irresistible!" he growled as he returned to her neck. She laughed. 'I'll never forget that laugh,' he thought.

       Matt placed a small piece of paper on the chest of draws. He turned to look at Guess who was still fast asleep in bed. She looked so beautiful and peaceful with her hair spread around her and tangled up in the sheets. He walked up to the bed and gently kissed her lips.
      Her eyes fluttered open, "Hey," she mumbled tiredly. "Why are you dressed, already?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
      He kissed her again to silence her, "It's early, go back to sleep. I'll be back soon," he whispered.
      "K..." she replied, falling asleep.
      He kissed her forehead and turned to leave. 'That's the last time I lie to you, Guess, that I can promise,' he thought as he closed the door behind him, suitcase in hand.
