I met him when I first came to Wammy's. His name was Matt. Truth be told, he looked slightly retarded with his bright red hair and over sized clothing. But I think that's what made him unique. That is, until he called me a "pretty girl". You better believe I knocked his lights out. Saying just that, he was automatically like everyone else at this damn institution. I saw him a few days later sitting under a big oak tree. I don't know what made me do it, but I felt the urge to apologize. So I did. "H-Hey, Matt." He scooted to the other side of the tree and continued playing his game. What interest is there in those things anyway? "Listen, I'm sorry I hit you the other day. Would you f-forgive me?" Matt looked up, startled at my words. "M-Mello. Of course I'll forgive you!" He lurched up into my arms and kissed my cheek before I could say anything. Running to the orphanage, I watched his stupid red hair flutter in the wind. I pressed my fingers to my cheek only to find it was burning hot from me blushing. "That Matt... He's something all right." I followed him into the orphanage for what I hoped would be a long prosperous friendship.

A/N: It's a little short, but it's my first story and I just wanted to publish something. Maybe there will be more chapters in the future. I do promise though that there will be longer stories. ^^
