Author's Note: Jeezis, I miss writing Death Note fics. Well, I found some inspiration for a story. As usual, the main characters are Matt and Mello. They've always been the only ones i can actually write about. I wonder if that's still true. I've been busy with other anime.

Also, fer the opening date, i was too lazy to figure out the year. Haha, last year i could've figured it out within seconds.

Disclaimer: I own neither Death Note nor any of its characters.

January 22/ Matt 13, Mello 14

"Hurry up, Mello.'' Matt snuck along the wall, pretending to be a ninja.

"Matt, it's not like this secret door is going to disappear because we're going slow.'' Mello followed close behind none the less.

"Melz, get an imagination. You are a kid. Imagination should not even be a difficult thing to use!'' Matt shouted.

"Will you hush'' We're supposed to be asleep remember.'' He hissed at the idiot he claimed as a friend.

"Oh yeah~!"

The two proceeded silently. They reached a small door that Mello doubted they would fit through. But Matt, being Matt, proved him wrong by easily squeezing through.

"C'mon, Melz." Mello followed reluctantly.

"Are you sure this place is safe?''

"What's this? The almighty Mihael Keehl is afraid?'' Matt laughed as Mello backhanded him in the back of the head.

"Shut the fuck up.'' Mello growled, hiding a smile.

"Hey Melz,?''

"Do you not know how to be quiet??

"Nope, but listen. Where I am about to take you is a sacred -''

"Matt, shut up. Shut up or I am outta here.'' My frowned but kept silent.

They finally reached Matt's hiding place and Mello loved it. They had followed a tunnel all the way out into the woods. Trees that seemed to touch the stars themselves grew elegantly all around them.

"Matt, how the hell did you find this place?'' Mello asked, awed.

"I'm Matt. Whaddya expect?'' He smiled and took Mello's hand. "C'mon, I gotta show you this.''

Usually Mello would have pulled his hand back, but this time, it felt nice to hold Matt's hand. He followed Matt to a really tall tree. Matt began to climb it and Mello followed. He had more trouble climbing than his red-headed friend.

"Here, give me your hand. I'll help you up.'' Mello reached for Matt and was lifted upwards.

They were sitting on a branch that had a beautiful view of the night sky. Mello shivered so Matt wrapped his arms around him. Mello happily snuggled into him.

"Mello, you're acting weird tonight.'' Matt giggled. "Not that I'm complaining about this or anything.''

"You're the one giggling.''

"I know.'' Matt sighed and pulled Mello closer.

"Matt, I'm so glad you found this place. Wammy's is driving my insane! Now i have a peaceful/special place to come and relax and gather my thoughts.''

"I'm glad. Maybe now you won't be as crabby towards me.'' Matt's smile met Mello's glare and won.

"Dammit, you're too cute to glare at.'' Matt laughed as Mello continued to act angry. "With your adorable puppy eyes, and your vibrant smile. Hell, who knows what your kisses are like. I wanna find out.'' Matt was caught offgaurd by this one.

His face turned a bright red.

"Seriously, Mello?''

"Very serious.'' he leaned up and kissed Matt gently on the lips. Matt gave a kiss of his own.

"I dare say you just complicated my existence at Wammy's House for Gifted Orphans.'' Matt smiled after he broke the kiss.

"I dare say I did my own as well.''
