"I appreciate you volunteering to share your room with someone," Roger said politely to me. I nodded in response. It hadn't exactly been my choice to share a room. It had been L's idea. L thought that I hadn't made enough friends in the ten years I've lived here. In fact, I hadn't made any friends. Honestly, though, it wasn't my fault people couldn't handle my bluntness or the fact that I don't care if they exist or not.
"Matt. Matt! Are you paying attention?" I looked up to see Roger staring at me.
"What? I'm sorry, I was think ing about what my roommate will be like," I lied. Roger handed me a folder that said "Mello" on the front of it.
"That's everything you need to know about your new roommate. Please be aware that he too has received information about you." I nodded once again and walked back to my room once I was dismissed.
Flopping down on my bed I started reading through the fine. Name: Mello. Rank: 2nd. "Someone finally scored higher than me. Oh well," I said quietly to myself. The next bit of information made me laugh to myself. Likes: Chocolate. Dislikes: People. "No wonder L picked this guy for my roommate." After finishing reading the rest of the file I went to bed.

When I woke up at 12pm the floor was littered with candy wrappers and suitcases. "Mello," I called out tiredly, laying back down and closing my eyes.
"What, Matt?" It sounded like he was in the bathroom. My thought were confirmed when I heard the shower turn on.
"Mello! You need to clean up after yourself!"
Over the water I heard, "It's not like the room was much better when I got here!" After that I stood up and stretched just as Mello stepped out in only a towel. Not that what I was wearing was much better, considering I was in my boxers. I was slightly taller and leaner then he was. My fire truck red hair covered most of my vision, but I could still see his girlish features such as his long blonde hair. "Hey, nerd, you going to move so I can go get dressed? Or would you prefer me to walk around naked?"
"Tch. You can walk around in or outside of whatever the hell you want. It's not like I care." I stepped around Mello into the bathroom. As soon as the door closed my mind started racing. "What the hell are you thinking, L?"
After quickly showering, I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into the room. I was shocked by the sight in front of me. The room was completely spotless and Mello was standing there blow-drying his hair while wearing tight leather pants and a leather vest.
"What the hell happened in here? I wasn't in the shower that long was I?"
Mello turned off the blow-dryer and said, "Not really. Maybe about fifteen minutes. I took what you said into consideration and decided to clean."
"You cleaned the entire room in fifteen minutes?"
"More like ten minutes. Oh, and I organized your games in alphabetical order." Turning his back to me, Mello continued drying his hair. Since he was turned around, I quickly got dressed, not bothering to put a shirt on. Mello finished drying his hair after another half hour.
"Hey Matt. Can I play Mario Kart with you?" Pausing the game, I handed him a controller and restarted the game. In out 10 minutes I got first place and Mello got eighth place. I quickly found out ello has a bit of a temper.
"Mello! You broke my controller!"
"That is complete bullshit! I should have won!" Just as he was about to stomp on my game cube, I tackled him, landing on top of him. I quickly pinned him down. "Let me go, asshole!"
"No! I'm not letting you smash my game cube!" Suddenly Mello stopped struggling and I realized how close we were. In an instant Mello's lips were on mine. Shocked, I loosened my grip. I was instantly pushed to the floor with Mello on top of me. Somehow, he managed to not break the kiss.
