MELLO

Rain poured on the street, collecting on my helmet, particularly in front of my eyes. But I didn't care. The rain would stop soon, and I didn't have to go out again unless I wanted to. But I didn't have anything in mind that I had to do tonight. Just run to the store, get some chocolate. I cant believe I RAN OUT! That just never happens.

I flick my head, throwing most of the water out of my vision. It was really pouring down. The road was wet, but nothing was too slippery for my motorcycle. Not even the sharpest turn could-

I spoke too soon.

I slid the handle to the left, to make the last turn arriving at my house, but I hit a patch of remaining black ice, and my bike lost control, throwing me from it, and into some stupid tree that always annoyed me as it was. Now it REALLY annoyed me.

Colors flashed by my eyes, and I hit the center of that fucking tree. Pain spread through my body like fire through dry leaves. I held myself from crying out, I didn't think anyone saw me, and it didn't hurt badly enough for me to need attention.

"god damnit, stupid ass fucking tree" I mumbled, deciding not to shoot the goddamn thing

It took me about five minutes before I could bring myself to stand up and retrieve my bike. My scar tingled from the cold rainwater that was falling on it. I hurried and pulled my helmet back on , picking my motorcycle back up and hopping on it.

Great, that just ruined my evening

I dragged my sopping wet self into my room and undressed myself, flipping on the hot water in the shower when my phone rang.

Everything you want

Hmm… Matt is texting me…

Everything you need

I walked over to the counter, picking up the phone and stopping the song that I would never let go off in public, because it obviously stated that I needed matt… so what if I had a crush on my best friend and he would never love me back, or even understand what I felt, because we were both guys? I could live with that… okay, I cried myself to sleep every night ( im NOT a sissy, but I need him that much) and I read the text silently, momentarily forgetting that I was naked.

Hey Mel are you busy?

No.

U wanna come and hang out tonight?

But I have to work tomorrow

Just don't.

Okay. Be there soon.

K

I put my phone away, pulling the shower Curtain and let the water hit my skin.

MATT

Beep…beep….beep-CLICK-beep

Hmm…level eleven; here I come…so close.

The lights flashed and the beeping got louder. I'm alone, why be quiet? That thought reminded me. I've been alone for three days. I haven't left this stupid apartment in three whole days.

I paused the game and set it down, picking up my phone and looked for my last contact. Mello

Oh, how I loved Mello. But Mello was a different kind of person. There was no way that he could like me. That way the girls looked at him. All OMG and WOW. How I would kill to be HIS girl. But, he never has had a girlfriend, so… just maybe…

No. its simply not possible. Mello liked GIRLS! Not ME!

Hey Mel are you busy?

No.

Do you wanna be? With me,maybe?

U wanna come and hang out tonight?

But I have to work tomorrow

You can work on me tonight

Just don't.

Okay. Be there soon.

K

K? what am I, a shy schoolgirl? God damnit.

Beep…beep…beep…

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Matt? "

I quickly paused my PSP and nearly ran to the table to get some ciggeretes , lit one up, then I went and opened the door "Hey Mel."

" hi Matt"

" what's up? Come on in."

He followed me back to the living room and I plopped down on the couch, offering Mello a bag of potato chips " Hungry?"

He quietly took one chip and held it to his lips. His scar shined from the poor light in my apartment. I had to cross my legs hiding..uh…something.

" kinda" he whispered, his wet, beautiful blond hair sticking to his face. His deep, amazing blue eyes deep in thought.

MELLO

" hungry?' the beautiful, sexy red-headed angel that lay before me asked.

YES! Im hungry for YOU MATT! I cant get enough of you. Don't you understand how bad I want you? I would give up chocolate for you.

And that's saying a lot.

" kinda" I brought myself to say, pressing the chip to my lips.

We were silent for a few minutes

" what are you playing?"

" oh..uhh…" he blushed

" come on matt, what were you playing?"

He pushed his PSP behind his back " so how was your day, mel?"

"not well. I got thrown into a tree."

"WHAT?" he shot up, nearly tackling me in the attempt to help "ARE YOU HURT?"

"no, but the tree is a little bit"

Matt laughed and my heart throbbed." At least your okay."

"yeah."

MATT

My heart did flips when mello said he was in an accident. The last thing I wanted was him hurt in anyway.

"WHAT!" I tried to keep calm, but I failed" ARE YOU HURT?"

"no, but the tree is a little bit"

Heh heh heh. That's Mello for you. Making a joke about it.

"at least you're okay"

"yeah"

How much I ached to say I wouldn't have lived if you were gone, but for the sake of our friendship, I held my tongue.

I love you, mells…

The way that Mello's eyes shined was almost too much
"come on, Matt, What were you playing. I promise I wont laugh"

"yes you will that's why I'm not going to show you."

"why would I laugh? Is it girly or what? Just tell me."

Truth was I wasn't playing anything embarrassing, it was what I named the file that was embarrassing. Because of the stupid thought of Mello that never left my head I had named the file Mello&Matt because all the cool normal names I had already used on my self record list. I probably should have just named it MATT or something but I just couldn't.

" I'm just playing Pong, you don't have to look at it."

" but can I?"

"NO!"

"And you say I PMS, bitch" he mumbled, headed towards the kitchen. I quickly beat the level, saved, and shut off my PSP with all the old games on it.

" sorry, Mells, but you know, you don't let me eat any of your chocolate!"

"SO? I let you LOOK at it! Its not like I was going to EAT your PSP!" {lol}

"you might have because your mad."

He sighed, most likely holding in a scream." Im sorry, Matt. I didn't mean to yell…"

Did Mello just apologize? Woah

"Mello, I think you did hurt yourself. You're actually being nice."I hurried over to help him. We needed a doctor. STAT!

"Matt, no. I'm OK it's just..."

My ears perked up "Mello, what is it, what's wrong?"

MELLO

"Mello, what is it? What's wrong?"

I dunno, everything? Maybe because I love you and you don't know it because I'm too much of a wuss to tell you? Just maybe that.

"No, Matt, It's nothing. I'm sorry. Maybe I should go."

Matt jumped and blocked my path to the door. Our eyes me, and I felt lightning shoot through my veins

"You aren't going anywhere until you tell me what is making you act all strange."

I couldn't hold it back any longer "IT'S YOU MATT!"

He looked hurt "What did I do Mells?"

"You…you…you…"

"What?"

"Matt… you made me love you…"
