Love Notes
Mello sat anxiously in a chair in the library, awaiting his partner. He and Matt had been assigned to work together on a history project for class. Something about the Berlin Wall.
When the redhead finally arrived, Mello stated blankly, "You're late," as Matt took a seat across him.
"Sorry," Matt murmured. "I got distracted; I found a note in my locker."
Mello raised an eyebrow, starting to take out a print-out he'd gotten last night. "Is this the first time?"
Matt blushed a little, shaking his head. "Actually, I've been getting them since eighth grade." He took out a small slip of paper.
Intrigued, Mello said, "May I see?"
"N-no!" Matt hastily shoved it back in his pocket. He tried a small smile. "Sorry. It's not something I'd like to share. Besides, I don't think this mystery person would like it."
Mello shrugged. "Whatever. Anyway, I found this last night on the internet and thought it could contribute to our research."
"Big words," Matt muttered. Louder, he said, "Okay. I still need to do my part."
"Why?" Mello teased. "Have these love notes been pestering your mind?"
Matt blushed again. "W-well, I have to get home. My dad gets worried if I come home from school even twenty minutes late."
Mello nodded. "See you tomorrow, then. You better do you research tomorrow!" he added as an afterthought.
"I know, stop being my mom," Matt retorted. He gave Mello a half-hug with an arm, patting his shoulder. "See you." Then he was gone.
A happy little sigh escaped Mello's lips and he slid down to the carpeted floor, hugging himself. He was smiling dreamily. Tomorrow, he promised himself, tomorrow I'll tell him those notes were from me.
It's short, AU, and Mello was acting like a lovesick schoolgirl. Silly me. *bonks head*
I hope you enjoyed, anyway.
