Mello, Matt

[Their time at the hotel is almost up. Meetings had been held, locations inspected, and everything was perched on the edge of being ready. But it wasn't quite, and Matt had, after all, insisted that Mello needed a break. A mental recovery period, as it were, to complement Matt's physical one. His back still hurts a bit, and there's a scar there, and when Mello's fingers brush over it his blood still runs cold. That should stop eventually, but it hasn't, yet.]

[That was the first problem with taking time off.]

[The second was, of course, the fact that Mello gets incredibly restless in a very short span of time, so any efforts in the name of relaxation are hopelessly wasted. And worse, it annoys him the way it always has, which leaves him feeling restless and irritable.]

[He takes a shower to calm his nerves but on the way out of the bathroom he pulls a towel over his head roughly, more to get the action over with than out of any real desire to get his hair dry. And he tries not to think about anything that might be happening outside of this room, with himself and Matt and the tv turned off so that he wouldn't end up compulsively watching the news again.]

[He leaves the towel draped around his neck as he heads straight to the nightstand and tugs the drawer open with a little grumble.]

Right, I don't think I've got any power over that one.

[After a moment, he moves a bit, and nips Mello's ear, gently.]

Mm. But I'll do my best.

...anyway, who's going to look after you if not me?

[He grins a little then, and threads his fingers through Mello's hair.]

[Matt returns the kiss, of course, and after a moment, adjusts his position as much as possible, kissing him harder.]

[And he knows that Mello doesn't really need looking after, not in any literal sense. Between the two of them, he's more capable, after all, and in a way it's always been Mello looking out for him. (Wasn't his first kill in Matt's defense? And this time, too.)]

[Still.]
