Prompt: 041 - Friend
Rating: G

It took a while for Mello to relax and start to kind-of-maybe trust Matt, but even after they became "friends", Mello made it clear that he was the one calling the shots. Matt didn't care one way or the other, so long as Mello stopped complaining enough for him to level up.

When Mello left, Matt didn't know what to do. He tried to blame it on Near, but that never really worked. He finally decided that if Mello was going to do something entirely brainless and stupid, he might as well help him.

Because that's what friends were for.
