Matt stood in the threshold of the playroom, his hand on the wooden door frame, not to mention he was smirking rather widely. He watched the pale figure in the middle of the room, as it slowly put together peices of a puzzle that Matt knew the kid had put together nearly a thousand times.

Matt didn't really understand why he'd gotten used to this, watching Near. Starting to do it, in itself, was more than slightly awkward, especially when he tried to start a conversation. Of the many things Near was, a conversationalist wasn't one of them, mostly it was Matt doing the talking.

Every day, Matt would come in here and watch Near play, talk to him, and whatever else came to mind for the redhead to take part in. A few weeks ago, this would've all seemed odd. A few weeks ago, he never came into the playroom unless he had to. A few weeks ago, he only came into the playroom as a little obedient puppy following his master Mello as he took out his aggression on the passive albino now so peacefull playing on the floor. Matt used to watch with slight horror as Mello pummeled the small boy from all directions, as Near didn't make any moves to retaliate or defend himself in any way whatsoever. Now that he thought back on it, maybe it was a good idea that the kid didn't try to fight back, knowing Mello he could keep fighting all day if he needed to.

The redhead started to feel sorry for the little albino boy, he didn't ask for his position, and he'd obtained the number one spot rightfully. There was no reason for Mello's behavior, so Matt felt the need to make peace with Near.

He started randomly coming into the playroom, and sitting at the window seat, simply watching Near play and mess around. After a while, he even started talking to the kid, and the kid would reply back with his deliberatly vague answers. The kid never complained about Matt's presence nor did he especially encourage it, but the redhead knew that he was enjoying himself because he was simply screwing around and joking a lot.

The only problem Matt had was that Near never seemed to look at him. Since the albino was always doubletasking or more, he always had his attention focused on some robot or playing card, and that irked Matt. He wanted the kid to at least pay attention to him when he was talking, because it just seemed kinda rude for him not to.

One day, he just got fed up with it, and stalked over to Near. He grabbed Near, and tilted the boy's head back, so Near was looking him straight in the eye. He did what he thought would get the kid's unrivaled attention, he pressed a soft kiss to his virgin lips. Matt didn't even know what was going through his head at the time, and wasn't trying to think about it, his only observation was that it felt nice. He leaned back, still holding Near. "Pay attention when I'm talking to you," he told the kid in mock annoyance. Near was simply looking at him in a mixture of shock and interest. Matt was immediatly intrigued. He'd never seen that kind of expression on the boy's face, and was starting to like it. He even caught the very small light pink blush on Near's cheeks.

Matt had been far to intrigued with this, he thought as he stood there in the doorway. He smirked again before calling out to Near, "hey," he said simply. This time Near turned around, looking even the slightest bit happy to see him. "Good morning, Matt."
