Prompt: Bad dreams
Mello excitedly swung the car door open, smiling wide at his boyfriend as he sat down.
"I'm excited to see you, the last few days I've done nothing but work. Do you have anything in mind or.." Mello trailed off noticing Matt looking.. miserable actually.
"What's wrong?" Mello thought aloud, Matt's eyes were sunken in and blue, he looked way more sleep deprived than what is to be normally expected.
"I had a nightmare about you, actually." His tone was a little cold, matt sighed and clicked his turn signal to get going onto the main road.
Mello instinctively reached over to touch Matt, gently rubbing the tips of his fingers up Matt's shoulder and arm while he drove, Matt let out a deep, relieved sigh at the touch.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Mello asked, his softness removed any doubt in Matt's mind over whether or not he felt comfortable sharing this yet.
"Y'know how I have lucid dreams sometimes? Last night was kinda like that.. at first anyways." He trailed off, sleepy eyes not breaking from his focus on the road.
"It was like I was going through these trials to try and save you from this man who abducted you, I kept getting close to saving you and then something would get in my way and make it ten times harder for me to find you again. Finally, I was able to catch up to you-"
"Was it Bowser?" Mello asked playfully.
"... no, it wasn't." Matt sighed.
"Ganandorf?" Mello asked, impressed with himself that he remembered that one.
"No mello, it was just a regular guy who took you.. Anyways.." Matt rubbed his sleepy blue eyes, Mello watched him closely, picking up on the tension still in his voice.
"I finally made my way to rescue you, but you didn't want to come with me.. Basically you told me to leave and that you wanted to be with him now, like it was funny that I went through all the effort for you." He furrowed his eyebrows recalling it, Mello thought he looked cute when he got upset.
"I'm sorry Matt, that sounds like an awful dream to have experienced." Matt nodded in agreement without looking over, mello thought he saw Matt's lip quiver.
"Y'know, I love you so much Matt? The most one could say.. Nobody else could come in and change how I feel about you, what we have is special. All the time you and I have spent together, you're my favorite person." Matt's cheeks flushed a bit and he was quiet, he loved when mello talked lovey dovey to him, he'd do his best to soak it in everytime mello would give him words of affection.
Matt pulled the car into the driveway and let out a relieved exhale. With the car parked, mello snaked his way closer to Matt. He wrapped his arms around Matt's torso and nestled his face into the crook of his neck. His ass hurt, he thought, a mountain dew can of Matt's was directly under him now but he didn't care.
Matt smelt so good, his hair was so soft in mellos face and he couldn't help but laugh.
"What's funny?" Matt asked, sulking.
"How could I want anyone else? You're everything I've ever wanted. I love you Matt."
Matt got the flutters, he squeezed mello tightly and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you, Mello. I love you. Let's go inside, I got a new movie I wanted to show you." With that Mello nodded and followed him inside. How lucky was he to have matt, he thought.
