One of the saddest places to be was a funeral. Not the graveyard but the funeral itself, because everything that happens there is because of what happens recently. In graveyards, they could have been there for a long time, and even though it might be still sad the pain is at least easier to deal with. Misa...was sure how to react today. Her boyfriend had died yesterday, they had only been going out for a month before she found out that he was killed. The pain was too overbearing for her, she might have not have known him so well, she knew he was a good person at heart. He was sweet, charming, a little short tempered, but in all sense he was a good guy, with a wonderful personality. She cried as they lowered the coffin into the ground, not many people were here only the people closest to him. She wished she had spent more time with him, she wish she was there for him.
...Mello... His hair might have been a bit feminine but he was very handsome, and that was another thing she liked about him. She looked at his best friend, Matt, who rarely comes out, now standing in the open to see his best friend ending up in the grave. What made her even more sad that he wasn't even crying, but she could tell, his heart was broken. The funeral was gloomy enough, but that is how is was supposed to be, unless the person everyone buried was hated. She commended him for being strong, she couldn't go to a sad movie without leaving in tears, and she was always the cheery type.
The funeral was over, and everyone slowly disappeared at their own time. The last ones were Matt and herself all alone with no one except Mello underground. He didn't bother looking up, he just kept staring at the stone with his best friend's name on it. She didn't deserve to be here, she hardly knew Mello, unlike Matt. She knew they been best friends longer than she can count her own years. She was only some kind of 'person-who-just-met-and-got-together', she didn't belong here, to cry over someone she spent a month with. She could guess that Matt was thinking exactly that, she wouldn't blame him even if he went over to her and started yelling at her. Saying she could never understand what a great person Mello was and that she didn't deserve to be his girlfriend in the first place.
She was expecting it to happen along the lines of something like that as Matt slowly walked up to her, not bothering to look up. Every time she saw Matt his head was always down at a game, but now... lack of games were the least of his problems. Instead of yelling he said "thanks for being here... even though you didn't know him much, we both appreciate it"she knew he meant Mello and himself appreciated it, and tears poured slowly out of her eyes a bit. He lifted a finger to wipe them, which surprised her "Mello wouldn't like it much if you drowned him in your tears". She stared at him for a moment before giving a sad smile, looking at Mello's grave and turning to say. "Maybe...we should go somewhere to talk for a bit?...unless your busy."
He looked up a bit surprised but nodded "I guess... it wouldn't hurt to be away from games for a little while." She responded "there is a quiet cafe down the block, how does that sound?" He smiled lightly and replied pulling out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth "Sure, I'll pay'. He was about to light it before Misa pulled it out of his mouth, his eyes widen. "I don't think Mello would like it if you smoke it in front of his grave" he smiled and pulled the cigarette out of her hand. "I couldn't care less what Mello wants, it's not like he can't stop me now" she pulled the cigarette again from him "no, but the cafe won't allow smoking". He took the cigarette back "I guess that means we'll have to go to another cafe" and once again she took it back "too bad" then Matt pulled out another cigarette from the boxing showing it to her with a smile, her eyes widen before she made a giggling followed by Matt chuckling.
They both realized what happened before looking away in embarrassment. Even though Misa and Mello were dating she still got to know Matt a little better too. He was nice, funny, patient, and relaxed about things. She would watch as Mello try to argue with Matt, while Matt simply smoked and calmly responded back. Matt seemed to have a dry humor, but she didn't mind, it was better than no humor at all. Not that Mello had no humor, in fact that is why Mello and Matt were such good friends. They both liked the other person's sense of humor.
The cafe was not crowded like Misa had said, in fact there was a most three other tables occupied. Two tables had couples cheerfully talking about their weekend, while a single man typed away furiously at his computer. The waitress walk to the man to pour him some more coffee before he told her to 'go away', causing the customers to look at him before returning to their conversation. They both took a seat at a table away from the annoyed man. It was awkwardly quiet, neither of them looked up or spoke a word until the same waitress came over for their orders. Matt replied, "I don't drink coffee, so I'll take some tea" Misa nodded and said "same here".
Again it was quiet until the waitress came back with their drinks, they said thanks and she left them alone to more silence. Misa began to swirling her drink with a straw "Mello likes tea doesn't he?" he looked up unsure what to say, he didn't expect her to actually try and start a conversation, girls usually prefer the men to start a topic. Still, it was better this way, he wasn't used to talking to a girl, especially a cute one...wait did he say cute? He shouldn't be thinking of Mello's girl this way. The thought created a blush which crept across his face.
Luckily Misa didn't notice it and he replied "yeah, he always thought it went great with chocolate" she giggled a bit. She actually had a cute giggle...stop..don't. "Yeah but... it wasn't the only thing he liked= to eat, right?" she asked curiously "nah, but he did mostly eat chocolate." There was a loud crash followed by yelling. "Where is my coffee, didn't I have been waiting for ten minutes", it was the same grumpy male talking to the same waitress. Misa looked towards Matt to see he was trying to look out the window, wanting to stay out of this. Misa herself looked back to see what would happen "b-but I thought you said-". Misa looked back and Matt to see him taking a small peek before looking back at the window. "That is your problem, you were thinking, when you should have gotten my coffee, now I won't be able to work on this."
Matt sighed, clearly he lost making Misa smile. He definitely was a good guy, even if he tries to act like he didn't care about the real world. He got up pulling out another cigarette, a annoyed mark popped out of Misa's head. (Don't smoke here, you'll get kick out.) "Hey..." "what!" "you know you can get arrested for assault, physically or verbally" "go away, and get that cigarette out of my face". Misa watched intensely as the man pulled out the cigarette from Matt's mouth threw it on the ground stomped on it and turn back to the lady. "Hey..." Matt said calmly as the male turn around around. WHAM he was sent backwards onto the ground, and with a red mark on his face. Misa sweat dropped, thank goodness he didn't get mad at her for almost doing the same thing. The manager came out and said "Sir, please take your fights elsewhere or I will call the cops, and you sir" she then change her warning from Matt to the other male "I will call the cops if you don't leave now".
The man got up and ran as fast as he can out of the cafe. Misa turned to see the two couples giving her and Matt the thumbs up. Matt turn to leave and Misa got up to follow. They were stopped by the same waitress holding out a large bag "your food sir and ma'am". "...We didn't order anything to eat" he said to her and she nodded "it's on the house". Misa took the bag and smiled "thank you" before turning with Matt and leaving. "That was really nice of you" she said but he shook his head, "I only hit him for ruining my last cigarette". She jumped a bit when he dropped his hand on her head, patting it slightly. She blushed like crazy, she looked at him to see that he was facing the other direction.
"Well that was still very brave of you", she gave him a quick peck on the cheek making him blush also. The walk back to her house was more lively than it was in the cafe. He found out that she also like video games, she might not play it much, but she still enjoyed a good game now and then. Matt himself was picky on music, but glad to know that she is willing to listening to any kind of music. They made it to her house, and she turned "thanks for keeping me company I know it's hard for you-" "It's ok to say you miss him, he is not the type to pick a girl who wouldn't care about him". She smiled gave him another kiss on the cheek before turning to head up the steps. He called for her and she stopped to listen "do you...want to go out?" he knew he shouldn't be asking this especially after everything that has happen. For some reason though, he had to ask.
"No...I'm sorry" she turned around and went inside. Matt turned and headed back to his place, he ignored the trash that was everywhere and spent the rest of the night playing video games as usual. Misa on the other hand spent all night thinking about what happened. She didn't want to be alone, the thought was too sad and obviously lonely. She cried a bit more before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning Matt's phone rang"Hello?" "Hello, It's Misa". This was awkward, for him and for her, he wasn't ready to face her again especially since he made an unwanted call by asking her out so soon. "Do you want to go out?"
