"Good." The reply was simple -- when had he gotten so short on answering? -- and he didn't wait long before entering the bedroom, crossing it and opening a window, letting the smoke from his cigarette go out. Leaning against the window and watching the street below, he stayed that way until he was done his cigarette, tossing the end of it out the window. Closing it again, he leaned back against the wall beside the window, watching the door and debating. Finally making his decision, Matt pushed himself away and exited the room, going over to sit on the floor beside the couch, leaning back to place his head on one of Mello's legs.

Matt closed his eyes, simply sitting there for a moment. "I want to stay with you." He waited. Sat in silence. Hesitance heavy on his chest before he opened his eyes to look up at the blond. "What we just did in the alley. Were you like that with the last me that was here?" Curiosity killed the cat. He had no idea how many lives he was down already.
