Title: You and Others (1/11 : Boomerang)
Author: theminion2001
Pairing: Matt/Mello
Rating: Um. PG-ish...? For this one. I dunno...?
Summary: Mello and Matt as sung by Vega 4. Each song will have it's own drabble; none of them are connected, and they won't be in any particular order.
Author's Note: The meager beginnings of a small side project! I've been listening to the CD You and Others by Vega 4 a lot lately. And I'm pretty sure that every single song on it reminds me of Mello and Matt somehow. So, I've decided to write a little drabble-thing for each song. Probably a terrible idea, I know. I'm very aware of my terrible goldfish!attention span, and even more aware of everyone out for my blood for the recent Swans cliffhanger (heheh... oh hai, guyz...) but I'm in hardcore angst mode 'cause of Doctor Who, and I need to vent it... which is probably why the last song on the CD ended up being the first drabble written. I know, wot? But whatev. They'll all get out eventually.
I get conflicting results of whether the song says "turn on all the lights" or "turn out all the lights." But the story makes it obvious which one I prefer. So, yeah.

.Boomerang.
The click of the lightswitch, and Matt blinked as the room around him disappeared into shadow, nibbling absently at his cigarette. He glanced up at the sound of shifting leather, reaching up to remove his goggles in order to better make out the blond hovering just beyond the glow of his laptop.
"Mel...?" he murmured uncertainly, feeling gloved fingers slip into his hair before he got the chance, gently easing the goggles back over his head and off.
Mello made no reply, his fingers lingering buried in crimson locks as he gracefully sunk to his knees on the couch, straddling the younger man's hips as he continued to trace absent circles against Matt's scalp.
Matt's breathing hitched as Mello's hands slid slowly down to cup the back of his head. Cerulean eyes fluttered shut as a warm sigh ghosted over his cheeks, followed by the barest breath of a kiss on each eyelid. He went very still, not daring to break the silence, hardly daring to trace his own fingers up leather-clad thighs and search out the blond's hips as soft kisses continued to rain down across his face.
He swallowed, feeling Mello's fingers clench desperately in the hair at the nape of his neck... the wet warmth trickling down trembling lips to trace the contours of his own cheeks. He stayed still, eyes closed as he listened attentively to his friend's silent confessions.
"I love you..." whispered a tender kiss to his temple. "I'm not strong enough," the shuddering hitch of a breath murmured against his chin. "I'm sorry."
He clenched his eyes tightly, barely restraining himself from turning just slightly and ending it--digging his nails into bony hips and snapping the blond out of it... knocking the other man violently from his lap before meeting the resulting furious attack head on and stumbling down the hall to the bedroom, all gentleness and tears forgotten in a frenzy of biting and ripping and red-hot, merciless passion.
He did not know this person, did not recognize the cautious, tender touch. The fragile man collapsed so helplessly on his lap was a stranger. And it scared him.
He stayed still.
Mello's mouth shuddered to a halt at his hairline, lips drawing back in an agonized grimace as another silent sob racked their bodies. Matt slid his hands up his friend's hips to rest warm and comforting against the cool skin of a slim waist.
"I love you, too." A gentle kiss to the hollow of the blond's throat. "I forgive you."
Lyrics:
I'm not the man I wanted to be,
I'm just not that strong.
I can't think of anything,
That's not come undone.
You came in our new bed,
I loved to see you lost,
Your eyes were closed.
Turn out all the lights,
Make it louder.
Shock this heart to life,
Burst it open.
Shout out secrets, shout,
Shout out louder.
Love like the first time.
Start from nothing.
It's not just that I wanted to be,
The one that was strong,
The one that could pull us up off
of our knees
We lay in our new bed,
And I could hear you breathe.
Your eyes were closed,
Keep your eyes closed.
I love it when you're lost
Turn out all the lights,
Make it louder.
Shock this heart to life,
Burst it open.
Shout out secrets, shout,
Shout out louder.
Love like the first time.
Start from nothing.
I'm not the man I wanted to be,
I'm just not that strong.
I can't think of anything,
That's not come undone.
You came in our new bed,
I loved to see you lost,
Your eyes were closed.
Turn out all the lights,
Make it louder.
Shock this heart to life,
Burst it open.
Shout out secrets, shout,
Shout out louder.
Love like the first time.
Start from nothing.
It's not just that I wanted to be,
The one that was strong,
The one that could pull us up off
of our knees
We lay in our new bed,
And I could hear you breathe.
Your eyes were closed,
Keep your eyes closed.
I love it when you're lost
Turn out all the lights,
Make it louder.
Shock this heart to life,
Burst it open.
Shout out secrets, shout,
Shout out louder.
Love like the first time.
Start from nothing.
