16th Blast || Mello || [In Person]

[Mello is carrying a tray of food upstairs to the bedroom he shares with Matt. The redhead is still asleep in their room. He also has a bowl of cereal for himself (cocoa crispies, because Mello is an adult.)]

[He's out cold, but it's been something of a wrong week on him. Somewhere in his head registers as Mello opens the door. He rolls over onto his back, kicks the covers off, but isn't fully awake yet.

Mello can just...take the opportunity to admire those flamingo boxers.]

[Mello closes the door with his hip and smirks at the prone redhead.]

Morning sunshine.

[Matt groans and struggles to sit up. He takes a deep breath before opening his eyes...and immediate reaches for his cigarettes.

Guess that breath of air was just too clean.]

Breakfast in bed?

Yup. Eggs, toast, waffles [The last clearly came out of a box] You'd better be damn grateful. [But his tone is oddly gentle]

[Mello sits down next to him on the mattress]

How're you feeling?

Left the yolks a little runny, right?

[For him to dip his toast into. Because...well, it's Matt.

He puts his cigarette out on the nightstand, glancing over at Mello almost shyly.]

I'll live.

Right. Pain in my ass.

[Mello puts the tray on his lap and takes his cereal]

This is the kinkiest form of combat I've ever seen.

[He's talking about Spell Battles and their chains]

[Matt smirks a little as he takes his tray, but that smirk soon vanishes.]

Yeah...

[He trails off and tears the crust of his toast to dip it. And dip it. And dip it again. Maybe he doesn't have much of an appetite after all.]

Sorry.

Not hungry?

[He looks up from his own bowl. But he knows better than that]

Or is something wrong?

[Matt shakes his head before finally eating his...yolk toast.]

Just wish I could be a stronger sacrifice.

[Mello raises his eyebrows at him]

Are you kidding?

[Matt cuts an egg in half and shoves it into his mouth.

He's not laughing.]

I didn't mean it to sound like that.

[Mello looks a little sheepish before saying]

You're the best damn Sacrifice in this place. That's why I asked if you were kidding, because it's obvious that you're the best.

[Matt smiles a bit at that, but it's still a little bitter.]

...Never been the best at anything.

[He finishes off the first fried egg.]

Except Donkey Kong.

That's my line. [And although he sounds like he's joking...]

[When that doesn't work Mello puts his arm around him]

We made it this far, that counts for something.

[And when they lose, they lose together.]

Enough to get me breakfast, anyway.

[Matt grins, gives Mello a little nudge with his shoulder.]

Let's see if we can take it all the way. Oh wait, that's what you said to me the night you left Wammy's.

[Snickers, glad to see Matt's feeling a bit better]

Yeah, we might just be able to win this. We can take it all, to borrow another phrase from that night.

[He takes a bite of cereal and says through a full mouth]

If you replace "we" with "you."

Yeah. Doubt this is gonna be as fun though.

Might be something though, might be fun to win for once.
