Mello's 101 Ways to Be a Best Friend
Chapter One: The Start of It All

Mello's POV
I was walking the corridor to my room in Wammy's House. I was halfway there, and randomly started to think that I wasn't treating Matt the best I should. I mean, no one has really ever called me 'nice', but hey, Matt's my best friend…and my only friend. I guess I could start with something small. Hmmm, well, we are going to the store tomorrow. I mean, the top five in Wammy's that is. Ugh, but Near has to come too. Okays, Mels, breathe. Focus on Matt. Just pretend Near isn't there. Not like I give a damn what Near thinks of me. He probably already hates me. I can do this. Wait…now I'm starting to sound like one of those characters on a five-year-old's television show.
I slowly opened the door to our room. That is, mine and Matt's. I cautiously looked around, then stepped inside. Of course, Matt was playing his Gameboy. Typical behavior on his part. I threw my knapsack on the bed, and grabbed a chocolate bar from the knapsack, not caring which one I picked out. I opened the top and bit off a chunk. About five minutes later, I finished devouring the sweet sensation. I crumpled up the wrapper, but instead of the usual throw-the-wrapper-at-Matt's-head ceremony, I tossed it into the trash. He automatically paused his game, then looked up at me.
"What?" I asked. "Can't I choose to not throw the wrapper at you?"
"Erm, well, I guess. It's a bit OOC for you though…" He paused for a minute. I blinked at him. "Wait, are you sick, Mels?" He raised an eyebrow while I proceded to cross my arms.
"Now what?" I questioned. Quite calmly, if I may add. "The chocolate lover isn't allowed to be nice to his best, and only, friend?"
Matt sighed. "Okay, you got me there."
He went back to his game and I heard the familiar 'Duh-Duh Duh Duh-Duh Dun Dun!' of the backround music to Mario. I walked over to my desk and tore out a piece of paper from my lime green notebook. All of my folders, textbooks, and notebooks, unlike Matt's which are scattered around his half of the room, are color coded by subject. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, pink, black and brown in that order to match the order of my classes. Then, I grabbed a green pen. (Oh, I know your getting jealous of my color-coordination skills. Haha.) At the top I wrote:

Then, underneath that it read:
Rule 1: Stop throwing chocolate wrappers at Matt.
I capped the pen, put it back in my writing utensil cup, and placed the notebook in it's proper place in the pile on my desk. I looked up at the corkboard* that was nailed above my desk. It had pictures of Matt and I doing various activities, Near with a red 'X' through the picture, and a calligraphic 'L'. Some other things tacked up were random reminders, most for Matt that I wrote. I grabbed the paper, along with a green tack from along the bottom of the corkboard, (Yes, I also have red, orange, yellow, blue, violet, pink, black and brown.) and stuck it up. I walked over to my stash of chocolate bars, and while I was there Matt paused his game, walked over to the corkboard's location, let his goggles fall to his neck, and read. After all, it was taking a rather long time for me to find a chocolate bar I was in the mood for. I was looking for a nice, smooth, dark one. Perhaps a German one. Possibly Swiss.
"What about, "Buy Matty the new Pokemon game?" He smirked.
I bit into the chocolate, German, and glared at him. I swallowed and said, "Now you're pushing it."
"Yeah, Yeah, I know." He laughed. "Seriously though, this should be interesting." The gamer burst into his big goofy grin.
AN: Please review! And thanks to people have have reviewed my stories in the past. Special thanks to XxSonyaRiversxX & EmKeehl. You really got me motivated to do this! *corkboard: You know, those boards that you put push-pins into? I didn't know what else to call it. Haha. By the way, you'll get a Matt's POV sometime in the next few chapters. Hopefully. The more reviews I get, the faster I'll update this! Even if it's just a little, "Nice!" I'll be really happy!!
