10: It Takes Strength To Love. By Loving You Announce Your Weakness To Thy Enemy
Matt was in Parker and Mello's apartment.
Parker and Mello were in their room doing God knows what whilst Matt played his video games in the living room.
His tongue slightly poked out as he concentrated on beating the level he was head strong on beating.
Once he beat the level, he jumped up off the couch and shouted at the TV, "Haha! Fuck you!"
Parker then walked out of her shared bedroom and walked in front of the screen
"Woah woah woah." Matt whined, "What ya doing Ginger? I'm playing here."
"Mello and I are going out."
Matt eyes widened and shook his head, "No no no." he waved his finger side to side, "My game takes an hour to save my progress so you're going to wait because I'm not starting over."
"I knew you would have said that."
Parker and Matt's head turned to the voice. Mello stood at the side of them both with a chocolate bar in his hands.
"That's why you can stay."
"Yes!"
"With supervision." Mello added with a smirk while snapping a piece of the bar with his teeth.
"Pardon?" The brun deadpanned.
Parker went to get ready when Matt took out a cigarette and lit it, immediately taking a drag.
Then three knocks were heard at the front door. Mello smiled as he stood, looking to his friend who was finishing up his smoke.
"Get that will you, Matt?"
Matt grumbled as he took another cig and lit it. Once that was done with he walked to the door and opened it.
Matt's head jerked back as he looked at the person in front of him
"Matt! Hey." Y/n smiled.
He removed the cigarette from his lips and grinned at her, "Hey sweetheart."
Something suddenly wrapped around his leg. When he quickly looked down, there was a little girl attached to him.
He quickly flicked the new cigarette into the bin that was luckily nearby.
"Hey there, princess." The male chuckled, "Didn't see you there."
"Hi, Matt." She giggled.
"Mello said something about babysitting?" Y/n recalled, running a hand through her hair.
Matt huffed as he picked up the girl that was attached to his leg and set her on his hip.
"Mello doesn't know what he's talking about." he mumbled.
"Hey sexy." Parker waved then squealed when she saw Mia, "Hi Mia." she ran towards the girl in Matt's hands.
"How's my favourite girl, huh?" She added.
"I'm good." Mia giggled at Parker as she wrapped her tiny arms around Matt's neck.
"This little one seems to be stealing Matt away Y/n." Mello said as he walked closer to the group.
Matt chuckled as he shook his head. "She'll always be my sweetheart." Matt placed Mia down and walked closer to her with a hand in his pocket, "Ain't that right?~" he purred.
Y/n blushed and shoved him, "I hope its okay that I brought her Mello, she was with me when you called."
Mello looked at the child and the child looked back at him.
"You're pretty." Mia said looking at Mello. Mello instantly turned red making everyone laugh.
"Now she's stealing Mello." Parker giggled, "And I ain't even mad about it."
"Just...Just make sure she doesn't take my chocolate." Mello mumbled, still flustered as he took Parker's hand and walked out.
"Can't believe I have to babysit two kids." Y/n groaned.
Matt covered Mia's eyes and flipped Y/n off playfully.
Y/n over exaggerated a gasp and slapped a hand over her chest, "That's it, time out for you."
Y/n grabbed him by his ear, twisting it a bit and dragged him to the couch.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." Matt hissed as she did so, Mia laughing at the two all the while.
Matt pouted when the girl finally let go and he rubbed his ear.
Matt picked up his controller and pack of cigarettes off the table, shoving the pack in his pockets before the younger girl in the room could see.
Mia ran over to Y/n and whispered something in her ear.
Y/n giggled and placed Mia between herself and Matt, "Of course munchkin."
"Matt, she wants to play with you." Y/n added.
"Yes princess can play with me." Matt said as he lightly pinched her cheek.
Matt got up with a groan and headed to the shelf below the TV and pulled out a medium sized basket.
"You wanna play too sweetheart?" The male asked while digging through the basket.
"No thanks. I'll just watch."
Mia shook her head, "Anie gets angry too much and stops playing,"
"Oh really?" Matt grinned whilst looking at the two girls.
Mia vigorously nodded, "She broke my controller one time."
Matt laughed when Mia added, "And my keyboard."
"Okay." Y/n interjects to stop Mia from listing out the rest.
"Sweetheart's a rage quitter huh?" said Matt when he pulled out a controller and connected it to the PlayStation.
"Don't give me that, Matt. Like you don't rage quit."
"Oh, I rage." Matt handed the youngster the controller, "But I don't quit." The brunet smirked.
Y/n glared at him, narrowing her eyes. The girl got up and went into the same basket he was just at, finding a extra controller.
She connected it herself and sat next to Mia.
"I think you made her mad." Mia whispered to the male next to her.
He looked at the little girl, "Should I be worried?" He whispered back.
"Only if you beat her."
Matt was the king of video games. He'd play for hours whilst Y/n played once in a while. She was about to sorely lose.
For a while it was Mia against Matt in which he let her win some.
He'd smile because of how excited Mia was when she won, always showing Y/n she could beat Matt.
Before continuing, Matt paused the game, "You girls hungry?"
"You hungry munchkin?" Y/n asked Mia as she brushed back the child's hair.
Mia shook her head, "I ate by Aunt Cassie."
Matt turned to Y/n, "No, I'm good thanks."
"She's lying." Mia whispered to Matt, "She didn't eat yet, I heard her tell Parker."
"You stay right here and play, okay princess?" Matt whispered back which made Mia grin.
The male stood up and pulled Y/n off the couch.
"Hey! What are you- ?" Y/n was picked up by Matt and thrown over his shoulder "Matt!"
He walked towards the kitchen and sat her on the kitchen counter.
"I've got- Well...Mello's got pizza, Chinese." he trailed off whilst looking in the fridge, "Ou, there's wantons if you-'
"Matt." Y/n interrupted, "I'm not hungry."
"You haven't eaten whole day and you're not hungry?" Matt asked with an eyebrow raised.
"How'd you-?"
"Eat something." and before Y/n could say anything he added, "And I wasn't asking, Y/n."
Eesh, he used my name
"Pizza." she mumbled
Matt grinned before taking out the pizza box, "Good girl."
He heated it up for her, "I wanna watch you eat it."
"I can't eat if you're watching me, Matt." Y/n huffed making the male chuckle.
"Alright alright." he raised his hand in defense, "I'll eat too, I'm starving."
Y/n furrowed her eyebrows and swallowed what she had in her mouth before speaking, "You haven't eaten?"
"Like 30 minutes ago," he laughed, making Y/n laugh along with him.
"You're pretty when you laugh." Matt said bluntly while taking a bite of the pizza.
This made Y/n choke on her pizza, "You can't just say that while I'm eating." Y/n said whilst blushing hard, catching her breath, "You'll kill me."
Matt chuckled once more and shook his head, "Can't have that now, can we?"
After a couple seconds of silence Y/n spoke, "Thank you." she said softly.
After eating which didn't take long, the two head back to the couch to find Mia fast asleep hugging a pillow.
The two smiled and the sight and decided to leave her, Matt took off the TV. After, he figured Y/n was missing.
He looked around the living room and kitchen but saw the balcony door was slid open slightly.
Sliding it open completely and closing it properly he walked up to Y/n, standing beside her.
He watched her as the moonlight shone down on her, the way he hair flowed with the wind. Matt admired how beautiful and peaceful she looked.
"Stop staring, you pervert,"
Matt let out a breathy laugh, "Can't help but." Matt noticed how flustered she looked but didn't mention it.
Matt smiled as Y/n dug into his pockets to pull out his pack.
The girl took a cigarette and offered Matt one in which he took.
When she tucked the stick between her lips, Matt fished for his lighter to light her smoke.
After hers, he lit his own and took a drag. A comfortable silence draped over the two. They didn't need to say anything, just their presence was enough.
But Matt had to speak his thoughts.
"I'm sorry."
Y/n furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the man next to her as she took the cigarette from her lips, holding it between her middle and pointer finger.
"What for?"
Matt cleared his throat and took a pull, holding the stick with his thumb and pointer finger.
"Mello told me about the asshole that approached you the other day." he shook his head, "The last thing I want to do is bring you into my shit."
Y/n giggle which caused Matt to look at her with confusion, "Matt, I can handle myself so you don't need to apologize."
"No, Y/n. Things are unpredictable. There'll be a time where you wouldn't be able to defend yourself."
Matt took a large pull from his smoke and looked to the dark blue sky that was littered with glittery stars before he added.
"And that scares me."
