Mello a blond boy who proudly called himself Japanese, couldn't believe his ice blue eyes. There was a time long ago before he met his best friend. He was an orphan on the streets of Britannia. His name that time was Mihael Keehl. His mom died right after writing his name and his dad was dead before he was born so he had no family, none. Then a kind man by the name of Ryuzaki took him in from the streets. He was raised a japanese boy by the name of Mero. He loved chocolate, was super smart and most importantly, was loved. He met his best friend, Mail, there as well.
The geek and he had a rough start but the goggle wearing gamer grew on him with his puppy like loyalty and his witty remarks plus his sarcastic replies. The two were peas in a pranking, trouble making pod. Mello took the blame so the red head didn't get punished. One august though it all changed. Mello was playing soccer in their ages were seven and six. They saw these robots called Knightmares come and attack Japan including their house. Ryuzaki was shot dead right in front of them. The two ran away then. A few years later, they sold their cloths and their name was changed Mail became Matt and Mero once again lost his name but luckily it wasn't changed that much. Britannians were noctorious for forcing them to do things after they changed their names.
They joined the group that Naoto lead. The leader of the resistance group asked Mello to be the leader upon his death but Mello said no he couldn't because he felt that it was better that someone closer was the leader. He could be a good leader but knew that people would question him and if a leak happened it would be him that was blamed. Now they wouldn't blame him if there was a leak unless it was information he was carrying.
He remembered making a promise to his leader to protect Naoto's sister though. Often times he would go so far as to camp out in a tree and watch her all night. He also used to have Matt tap her phone. Soon however it all changed.
A girl was brought into the fold. It wasn't just any girl either. It was the pink haired girl whose brother was their leader. He had to watch his mouth and stuff now because she was a lady or so he though.
Matt, a game loving, geeky, red head, with emerald green eyes, and Mello's best friend came and swore loudly when his foot hit the wall. Kallen laughed and said "watch where you are going you dumbass" From then on Mello didn't have to worry about his words around Kallen. The pink haired girl was no lady. She was one of them just as much as the boys were. And that was the first time they met. From then on, the blond grew to think of her as his best friend aside from Matt.
She then became important as she could handle Knightmares. He also considered her the leader or second in command. He also found out she was great at keeping secrets so when he gave her his birth name, he knew he could tell her anything. The funniest part was she'd also call him a baka if what he told her was very stupid. Like the time he had stitched up his own wound, or took a picture of a bottle using some nobleman's camera. However luck was on his side cause the picture was pretty enough to be an art piece.
She also told him secrets as well as his life was like hers only without being half blood. The fact that her mother was a maid and she hated being in school. Part of the whole sick thing was his idea anyways 'because she'd need to skip a lot for the terrorist group. The other bit is she actually has him help her cut class. Sometimes if he's bored, he do her homework.
This was how it came to be that she was part of force and how the stealing of the capsule happened. There was a plan but someone was unable to follow plans and Mello had to wait and pray that Kallen would make it. He figured he'd kill the asshole who screwed it up later. For now he was just praying to god for her to survive this.
