"And you, partner, as I was saying, are an ass."

Words returned sourly, and the clatter of plastic against the wall - Matt had thrown piece of Transformer (it had felt like a stray arm) at Mello - though the missile missed its mark by a mile. After all, it was hard to hit something when all you had to work with was one arm, a shattered chest, and a skewed sense of balance. His frown deepening as the plastic clattered harmlessly to the floor, Matt sunk back into the couch, reaching up with his good arm to ruffle his hair in frustration.

"--you do realize I'm going to start going into fits, soon, if I don't get some nicotine?" There was some truth in his statement - that twitchy, nervous feeling when he went without a smoke for too long was scratching at the base of his neck, making him jumpy, irritable - pissed off. (Like that flight from LA to Tokyo? Fourteen fucking hours without a cig? He'd nearly gone insane.) The three days he'd been asleep? Okay, fine, he didn't mind so much when he was unconscious after all.

But this teasing was ridiculous. "Fuck you, Mellooooo," a name drawn out into something halfway between a whine and a groan, and Matt flopped back onto the couch, the scent of smoke in the air both tantalizing and painful. Sure, it wasn't the dark, heavy taste of his Gauloises (bitter, sharp, he'd nearly choked the first time he'd smoked one, but couldn't live without that toxic taste now) and was stained with the sickly-sweet scent of cherry (what the fuck) -- but nicotine was nicotine.

A muted groan, and he tried to turn his attention to something else-- righted one of the toys on the floor that had fallen over, then pushed it over with a fingertip and watched it clatter to the floor.

"...dammit."
