could it be?

On the morning of the day that L thinks is their anniversary, he wakes up early just from jitters. He'd managed to stop talking and asking everyone about it, and now he's lying in bed with Matt, watching him and wondering if he knows

It always takes Matt a while to wake up; an early-waking L doesn't help. But apparently he's sensed something, since he turns, draping an arm across L's and burrowing closer.

Then the knowledge of what day it is filters down into Matt's sleep-muddied brain. His eyes fly open.

[gamerspy]

"I love you."

Quietly, sincerely, as he slides fingers through L's hair.

"God, I love you."

[ijk_mno]

"You too."

He gives him a kiss, and wishes there were some better way to say this, because it isn't coming close to expressing how overwhelming it feels.

[gamerspy]

Matt's perfectly fine with the kissing, pressing closer, wrapping his arms around L's shoulders. A whole year.

"What do you want to do today? I panicked and made nine plans, and now I can't remember any of them."

He reaches up to brush a stray eyelash off Matt's cheek.

[gamerspy]

"Anything. I don't know."

Matt did the opposite, refusing to let himself think about it more than he had to case he jinxed the day. It could become an oddly mixed sort of anniversary, if he let himself dwell on it.

"I was nervous. Is that weird?"

[ijk_mno]

"I was terrified."

He laughs, and rests his cheek on Matt's shoulder. It seems so funny, now, in retrospect. As though this could have gone any way but well.

[gamerspy]

"We should stay in bed for a while. Then go wish for a massive breakfast from the wish room. Then... I don't know. Do stupid couple-y shit."

Lacing his fingers with L's, and tugging their hands close enough that he can kiss L's fingers.

"I don't know if they really count as - I got some lame things for you. It'll be better when we're in the real world again."

[ijk_mno]

"And I got things for you- nothing good. But just so I'd have something to give you- I can't wait to get back there, where we can really do all this."

He smooths his hand up Matt's side.

"Sex before or after breakfast?"

[gamerspy]

"You didn't need to get me anything."

But he understands why L did. Matt's done the same, after all.

"Can't we do both?" A grin, and Matt leans forward to bite lightly on L's lower lip. "Special occasion."

[ijk_mno]

L laughs, and shifts a little, with a suggestive murmur. Before and after is certainly fine with him. Especially if it's going to keep feeling as hopelessly romantic as this.

[gamerspy]

"You're beautiful," Matt whispers, moving to kiss along L's jaw. His hands slip to rest on L's hips and he shifts too, slowly, until he's kissing the skin just beneath L's ear.

[ijk_mno]

L wants to pull away to get their clothes off, but as long as Matt is doing that he's going to be useless. He lets out a long moan.

[gamerspy]

Matt only wears boxers and a t-shirt to bed, anyway; for once it won't take long to get rid of his clothes. He shifts, sucking L's earlobe between his teeth, letting his hands roam across L's back.

[ijk_mno]

He nudges Matt's boxers down, just far enough, and slips a hand inside to encourage him into a little more frenzy.

"I want-" he doesn't know what.

[gamerspy]

It's a good plan. Matt presses his face against L's throat, kissing and licking and stifling soft gasps.
