A/N: hello people!-the second instalment is here! - So without much ado...
Chapter 1
The air was warm and the trees were all in a flurry of dense orange and bright yellow. Halloween was upon Wammy's as pumpkins and rubber spiders decorated the orphanage. Everyone was eager to finish up their studies and go 'trick or treating'. It was the only actual kind of real break any of the kids got from the hard labours of education.
Yeah so everyone was looking forward to tonight...well everyone except for a certain blond...
!
''Mello are you sure you don't want to go up to the infirmary?'' the art teacher asked Mello as a concerned expression washed over her face.
'' no, l'm okay'' Mello lied as he wiped his nose repeatedly with his damp sleave. The teacher knew he was lying and that he looked terrible; his hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot, not to mention the colour of his skin resembled a whitish yellow.
''it's just hay fever'' the blond sickly sniffed as he took his gaze back to his books, hoping that the teacher would just dismiss his ill health, but the teacher knew better.
'' well I'm just going to send you up just in case'' the teacher said as she sprawled on some paper.
''achoo!'' Mello sneezed as he grabbed his sketch book and made his way up to the teacher, taking the hall pass from her.
The sudden change in weather had kind of set off his hay fever. Mello hadn't stopped sneezing and coughing all day and was prone in having dizzy spells during classes so no way in hell was he fit to go out trick or treating with Matt to night.
When Mello arrived at the infirmary, there was a thin old lady who had a cigarette hanging from her mouth, Mello took that she was the nurse.
She took one look at the blond and sent him straight into a sick bay; which was just a small room with a sponge mattress.
''here, take this'' the nurse instructed, giving Mello a small aspirin tablet which did nothing for Mello's pesky headache.
''alright love, you can stay here till you feel a little better'' she continued as she placed some new sheets on the bed. The smoke from her cigarette irritated Mello's throat and caused him to cough more than ever. He had to wait at the door just to get some air because there were no window and the smoke just seemed to linger in the room.
When she was gone and when it was possible to breathe again. Mello flopped himself onto the bed, neglecting to get into the covers. The blond did eventually wriggle his way under the cool sheets, groaning and wailing sickly.
Maybe getting some sleep wouldn't be so bad, Mello thought as his eyes slowly fluttered shut.
But as soon as his eyes closed...
KA-BANG!
