You smiled as you just killed Matt for the 39th time in only one minute. You and he were together for a couple of months now and you didn't regret one moment of it. But the fact that he would help kidnapping Takada Kiyomi tomorrow... Something was wrong... Something would definitely go wrong...
“Matt?” you asked while you killed him for the 40th time.
“Hmm?” was the only response you got.
“Are you really going to do that job Mello have you?”
“Yeah, why?” he asked without looking away from the screen.
“Because, I don’t want you to go” you said on a soft tone.
“Sorry, have to.”
“Why, Matt? Why?”
“ Because Mello is my best friend… And I promised…”
“And what am I?” you asked a little sad, while shooting him dead for the 41st time.
“A bitch ‘cause you just killed me again!” he shouted.
“Hey, it’s not my fault I’m such a natural talent in playing videogames” you smirked.
He smiled, lit on a cigarette and blew the smoke in your face, which made you cough. He took this advantage and shot you down.
“Hey! That’s not fair! You coughed and pressed pause.
“And what was that for?” Matt said with a played irritated voice “I was just about to shoot you again.”
You smiled, scooted closer to him and laid your head on his shoulder.
“Maaaaaaaatttt?” you asked as sweet as possible.
“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees?” he imitated your voice
“Do you really think I’m a bitch?”
“No” he answered your question “since you’re not a dog you can’t be a bitch.”
You, feeling insulted, smacked the controller on the ground and got up ready to walk away, when suddenly he grabbed your arm and pulled you into his lap. He placed his forehead against yours.
“You silly girl” he smiled “there’s no need to be angry… You know I love you… You’re the best that ever happened too me. You play games with me, you don’t mind that I smoke, you cook for me, you remind me of doing stuff, you take care of me in general let’s say… Heck, I don’t know how I survived without you.”
A blush appeared on your face.
“Matt, if I really mean so much to you, then why are you going? I don’t want you to go, I just feel something will go wrong and I don’t want to lose you.” You kept trying to prevent him from going.
“Sweety, you know I’d stay here with you if I could, but I’m the only one Mello trusts so…” he said a little sad.
“So…” you began “If… if someone else would go in your place… who looks just the same as you… and Mello wouldn’t know… You’d stay here with me?”
He thought for a moment, repeating the words you had just said in his mind.
“Yes… I’d do that” he smiled at you “But I don’t think you’ll find someone like me, or even stupid enough to do it.”
You smiled back at him and gently kissed his cheek. “Thanks” you whispered softly, although there was nothing really to say thanks for, ‘cause he was going to do the job anyway.
He kissed your lips and hugged you tight. But it didn’t last long. He gave you back the controller.
“Shall we?” he asked.
“No”
His mouth fell open. You didn’t want to play anymore? What the …
“I want to play a different game” you smirked at his reaction.
You could clearly see the relief on his face as you said the word GAME.
“So what do you want to play then?” he asked curious.
“Strip poker” you whispered seductively.
“What?!”
“You heard me good enough Matty”
His eyes were really, really wide, but then a big smile appeared on his oh so gorgeous face.
“Your room or mine?” he asked.
“Yours will be good”
40 minutes had passed and you were winning, since you were still in your bra and undie and he was only wearing his boxershort.
“I sure hope I’ll win this one” you thought and smirked at the same time.
“So what are your cards?” you heard from far.
You looked at your cards. A pair of aces. Nothing good, but not bad either…
You looked at his face to see any expression of him having good cards, unfortunately his face was neutral, like always. You sighed and placed the cards on the bed. You never saw such a huge smile in your life before.
“Full house!” he shouted happily “You’ll have to take something off babe”
“I erm, I’m thirsty, I’m going to the kitchen… You want something too?” You said nervous while getting up and walking to the door, only to be stopped one feet away from it. Matt had grabbed your wrist and now pulled you back, placing his hand on your cheek and laying your head on his chest.
“I want you” he whispered in your ear.
This made you blush more then you already did and you buried your face in his chest so he wouldn’t see. How did he do it? Every time he talked to you, he always said something that made you go to 7th heaven. Matt lifted your chin and your gaze met his. His eyes were filled with lust, passion but most of all, filled with love. Softly he planted his lips on yours and you melted inside. This was the most romantic, sweet, soft and yet passionate kiss ever. Being the little player he is, he again took the opportunity and unhooked your bra. When you realized what he had done, you pushed him away and quickly covered your cleavage with your arms.
“Don’t do that Matt!” you shouted.
Moment gone…
“Why not?” he asked disappointed “you’re the one who wanted to play strip poker and you lost the last game so…”
Silence.
“I..” you said softly “I… It’s just…”
“What? What’s wrong?”
“I’m afraid you won’t like my body… That I’m not beautiful”
He looked at you as if someone had slapped him in his face without warning. But his face went back to normal, he walked towards you, took your arms and pulled them away from your body to examine you. He started laughing.
“What are you laughing about!” you said with a trembling voice, trying to hold back your tears.
“You’re even more sillier then I thought you were!” he chuckled.
“What do you mean?”
“Just look at you! You’re right, you’re not beautiful” he smiled
A single tear escaped from the corner of your eye.
“You’re breathtaking” he whispered in your ear.
He then picked you up bridal-style and laid you down on his bed and crawled on top of you, while looking in your eyes the whole time. He kissed your forehead, went down to your cheek, quickly pecked your lips and continued his way downstairs. It made you shiver and you began kissing his neck, while caressing his back and slowly you went down…
It was the best night ever.
When you woke up next to Matt. It was still dark. You first stared at the ceiling, and you repeated the last moments before you fell asleep. A little smile appeared on your face. After that, you looked at the clock. It was 3.15 am, which meant that today was the day he’d help Mello to kidnap Takada. You sighed, you still had this feeling something would go wrong… Then again, you also had this weird feeling in your stomach and you felt your last meal coming up. As quickly as you could, you jumped out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom. It tasted bitter…
“Great” you thought “Matt’ll leave me in a few hours and I’m sick too… Urgh, if he could just stay here…”
Something hit you. You ran towards your room and searched your cellphone.
Was sup J. it’s me ____. Ur in Tokyo right? Say, I need ur help. Meet me asap @ the internet café @ the Tokiodoom. Thx.
Your heart skipped a beat when you pressed ‘send’. After all, there was a high change this would help you so Matt could stay. Not even a minute later you received a reply.
K, np, be there in 10 min. x J.
You jumped up, went back to Matt’s room, got dressed, wrote a message you, grabbed some of his clothes and left. 10 minutes later you arrived at the internet café at the Tokiodoom and you could see the vague contours of John. You kissed his cheek and he kissed yours. He still looked the same.
At 2 pm you finally got back to the place you and Matt were staying. When you opened the door, Matt looked up and smile when he saw you. But then he saw John and his jaw dropped open.
“Hey Matt!” you said happily, “Meet John. John, this is Matt, the boy I’ve been talking about.”
“Nice meeting ya Matt” John said while waving at one said.
Matt didn’t respond. He was too shocked by what he saw. This man, this John… He was his mirror image. Same face, same voice, same hair, same clothes, same body, same eyes, same height… Hell, he even appeared to be a chain smoker too.
“He isn’t much of a talker isn’t he?” John asked you.
“What in the world?” Matt asked in disbelieve.
“Right! I have to explain you something, don’t I?”
“Please.”
“You see Matt, John here is the answer to our problem.”
“What problem?”
“The problem of you helping to kidnap Takada Kiyomi of course. John is going to do the job for you. As you can see John here looks just like you. Of course with a little help from a wig, eye contacts and clothes I took from you. So, when Mello comes, he won’t notice the difference. And John will go in your place.”
If it was possible, Matt’s eyes would probably go wider and his mouth would fall more open. He looked from you to John, back to you and eventually he rested his gaze on John.
“Are… Are you serious?” he asked in this believe “This really isn’t a joke?”
“No”
“But you do know… This is dangerous… right?”
“Yes.”
“And you still…”
“Don’t bother Matt… I’m going to do it” John said annoyed.
“Okay, but, I’ve got one more question.”
“You going to ask why aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“It’s quite simple… First of all… I own it to ___”
“Huh?” Matt looked puzzled.
“I saved his ass from drowning a few years ago” you explained.
“And I also have no reason to live anymore…” John said sadly.
Matt wanted to ask why he didn’t had a reason to live anymore, you shook your head but John interrupted you.
“It’s okay, I want him to know” he spoke softly
He took a deep breath and told his story.
“A few months after ___ saved me from drowning, I met this girl. Sylvia… She was so pretty… She was the most perfect girl in the world. She didn’t complain about any of my bad habits like ‘You smoke to much’ or ‘You’re lazy’. No never. I was so in love with her… And the best part was… She loved me too… I’ve never been happier in my whole… We even got a sweet, little baby girl who we named Angel. We were planning on getting married on her 1st birthday. But then, 2 months before the wedding. Our house took fire… And I… I… I couldn’t save my precious girls… The flames took them away from me… I was a wreck. I tried to commit suicide, but I know that wasn’t what Sylvia wanted. So I carried on, but I never smiled again… The only thing I want… Is to be with my girls. That’s why I’m willing to do this… Maybe, if I get killed, I’ll see them again…”
Both you and Matt were silence. You knew what had happened, but still, every time you were reminded of this story… You also felt kinda guilty, asking this from John, but he had insisted… He really didn’t care if he would die during this risky job.
Matt gulped, walked up to John and threw his arms around him.
1 hour and a half later there was a knock on the door. Mello. You chased Matt, who was playing videogames with John into his bedroom and opened the door as soon as you were sure he was out of sight.
“Hey Mello, what brings you hear?” you tried as happily as possible
Mello sighed “You know good enough why I’m here… Where is he?”
“He’s playing games as always of course.” You said politely.
“Matt! It’s Mello! It’s time!” You yelled.
John/Matt raised his hand as to say, heard you
“Coming..” He mumbled.
He shot down one last zombie and got up. He kissed your forehead and nodded at Mello.
“I’m ready...” he said just the same way as Matt did.
Mello nodded back and turned around.
“Hurry up will ya.” He said coldly.
“Sure Mel, just one last goodbye kay?” John/Matt said.
Damn, John played his role so well. You almost thought it really was Matt. He kissed you softly on the lips, and you felt guilty, as if you were cheating on Matt… But this had to be done if you wanted your plan to succeed.
“Take care of yourself John…” you whispered softly, only so he could hear it.
John smiled.
“I will… You take care of M.J…” he whispered back.
“Of course I will…”
And with that John/Matt and Mello left.
Another 2 hours or so later, you and Matt were playing Guitar Hero, when suddenly you realized you hadn’t heard anything from John or Mello. You switched to the news.
“Hey!” Matt shouted.
“Shut up will you!” you shouted back “I wanna see if there’s anything on the news about Takada’s kidnapping!”
That moment you saw the pictures of a red car surrounded by black ones with a dead body laying on the ground. The person had red hair, wore goggles and a cigarette fell out of his mouth.
Both you and Matt’s jaw dropped open. Tears flew from your eyes over your cheeks onto the ground.
“I was… I was right…” you cried.
Matt hugged you and placed your face on his chest.
“Hush now, it’s alright…” he tried comforting you.
“How can you freaking say it’s alright?!” you cried out louder “I… I killed someone… I asked him to do the job for you and now he’s freaking dead! He’s dead Matt! And it’s my fault! But worst off all, that could have been you! So how can you freaking say that it’s freaking alright?!”
“it’s not your fault sweety…” Matt whispered as he held you close. “He could have declined, but he didn’t… You heard what he said… He’s back with his family now… Just like we are now, we’re together, all thanks to him… He wanted it like this…”
Matt whipped away your tears and looked lovingly in your eyes.
“Matt?”
“Yes?”
“Do you agree?”
“Agree with what?”
“To call it John if it’s a boy?”
“What do you mean… Are you saying?”
“Yes Matt, I’m pregnant…”
“Since when…”
“Since a few hours ago, before coming here with John. I had to throw up a lot and we went to a doctor and …”
You couldn’t finish your sentence because Matt’s lips were pressed against yours, while tears were running down his cheek from happiness.
Ain't matt cute? ^^
