"You're really determined with this nickname shit, aren't you?" Mello had never been called kitten before in his life and wasn't quite sure what the hell to make of it. He'd complain more if Matt were using it in front of anyone he needed to impress and even more if he thought anyone would believe it suited him. Since it was Matt doing it, though, he didn't take it too seriously, though it still got on his nerves.
He lowered his voice, feeling ridiculous but doing it anyway. "Don't take it apart in public. They freak." Mello had yet to discover exactly whom had the residents of this place so spooked and why they feared the things they did, but it seemed wisest to keep a low profile until he had more information. Not his usual style, but after that teleporting asshole who shot at them, he was being more careful. Hadn't given up, of course, merely going about it in a more circumspect manner.
"And maybe I'm just not the kind of guy who abandons a friend in need." Though he was, unless the friend in question were one of the very few Mello actually gave a shit about. Not mention the apartment seemed empty after awhile. Mello had spent very little of his life completely alone and he didn't really care for it. The people around him didn't have to be anything special, no one he cared about, but he needed the distraction of other people to keep his mind occupied, the comfort of being social to keep him from brooding too damn much and dwelling on things he couldn't do jack shit about.
Mello grinned at Matt's final comment. "So when do I get this demonstration?" Not that he had a thing for guys in skirts, but this promised to be amusing, so he had no intention of letting it drop.
