AN - Bittersweet series...enjoy! Rated for lan-gu-age :P


"And that's it...I'm sure your primitive minds can handle that right?" Mello straightened from his hunch over the office table "any questions? No? Good...dismissed"

The room was filled with the noise of busy feet pushing in chairs and shuffling out of the room.

Once the room was empty Mello sighed heavily and ran his fingers through his short golden hair. But once the silence was noticed, so was the sound of the heavy downpour outside. Mello glanced out of the window and grimaced when he realised just how wet it was. "Fuck" he cursed inwardly, he was going to get soaked.

Instinctively he pulled out his phone, scrolled down to 'M' and pressed the green phone, after a few short rings he quickly hung up thinking for a moment.

Matt's working, he can't just call him out of the blue because of the rain.

Matt worked in the small corner shop five minutes from the apartment, he therefore didn't need the car and therefore didn't have the car and therefore would no way in hell clock out early, losing precious hours, run home in the pissing rain, get the car and drive to come get his roomie. That was so not going to happen.

Mello, quite pissed off, walked out of the room and down the hall. He jogged down the flight of stairs while trying to think of the shortest way home. He really hated the rain.

As he got to the ground floor and the automatic doors opened, the sound of the rain was deafening, and he watched as it bounced of the pavement harshly. "Fuck" he cursed again "pissing rain"

Mello took a small step out, letting only his boots get wet. As he looked for the best rout home he quickly noticed a crouched figure on the pavement leaning again the wall. Who ever it was his face was covered by the huge umbrella that tented him. Lucky bastard Mello thought.

The figure looked up and for a second Mello thought he was thinking too loud. He glared back weakly and his eyes widened "Matt?"

The boy stood up silently and walked over to Mello, the umbrella still hiding his face. As he approached he lifted the umbrella up and Mello was greeted with a very innocent smile.

"Mello, your getting wet" Matt chimed with a smile "hey did you call me?"

"Matt, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Its raining" Matt replied matter-of-factly

"That doesn't answer my question"

Matt sighed sympathetically "its raining Mel" he said, pointing upward "why else would I be here" he pulled Mello close to him so they were both under the umbrella.

"Idiot, did you clock out early"

"I might of done" Matt looked to the pavement distractedly.

"Don't do it again"

"It might rain again"

Mello let out an exasperated sigh as they walked, their bodies somehow not bumping into eachother awkwardly but intertwined perfectly.

"How was your day?"

Mello held onto the umbrella and pushed Matt into the rain "stop asking me that all the time"

Matt laughed as the raindrops covered his face quickly. He walked happily along side Mello, the rain soaking through his clothes while Mello stayed dry.

"Thanks" Mello said quietly. He quickly sped up with the umbrella leaving Matt slightly behind. It was difficult to hear in the heavy rain, but Matt smiled in response.

"When it rains, it pours" he said quietly and quickly jogged ahead to Mello.
