Hello! It's been an awfully long time, I'm sorry!
Anyway, lately I've been listening to this old but awesome band, The Cruxshadows, and reading Death Note fanfiction (when I'm not studying my head off to graduate O.O), so I thought: why not combining the two things? I hope you'll enjoy! ^^
Disclaimer: do I really need to say I own nothing?

He was riding his black motorbike on the road towards his new life.
Maybe it sounds a bit too epic.
He was riding his motorbike, moving to the new city he'd be living in, and the university he'd be attending – Wammy University.
But he wasn't happy at all. And he wasn't feeling as cool as usual.
Not because of the university, he was looking forward to going there.
The reason was his ex boyfriend. He had been an ex only since Friday actually.
He said he wanted to break up, didn't care to explain the reasons and didn't answer to any of his calls. And this made Mello super mad.
He cried for a whole day, even though he was never going to admit it to anyone but himself.
Then, he shoved a few things in a bag and left a note to his parents to send the rest of his belongings to his new apartment.
And now, there he was, riding while humming a song from one of his favourite bands.

It doesn't have to end this way,
he filled your head with make-believe,
no time to cry, so wake up
Ariadne
It doesn't have to be this way,
now you define what you believe
take hold of your destiny
Remember...whats inside

He thought that if Ariadne from Greek mythology was able to forgot being dumped by Theseus, and abandoned on a desert island on top of that, he would also have been able to get over his ex.
Well, she actually fell in love with a god next, but that wasn't the point of the story, right?
Because Mello didn't want to find a new boyfriend right away. His previous relationship had lasted more than three years, now he wanted to be alone. Being alone was better, and much more peaceful.
He was never the social type after all.
He stopped and parked his bike in front of a condo made of red brick.
After checking the address, he pulled the keys out of his bag and started to climb the stairs.
He had already seen the house twice but he was curious about his housemate. All he knew was that they were the same age and going to the same university.
He didn't even know if he was going to share the house with a boy or a girl.
Not that it mattered, since there were two rooms.
As he was opening the door, he heard a noise coming from inside. Like of something (or someone?) crashing on the floor, and then a shriek.
He slammed the door open.
"What the hell...?" he nearly screamed
There was an unknown boy standing in the hall, and an half-opened box on the floor. That explained the crashing sound.

"Um, are you ok?" he asked, seeing that the boy wasn't moving
He turned his head, looking nearly lifeless.
"Of course not! What if one of my videogames broke?"
Mello furrowed his eyebrows.
'Great, my new housemate is a nerd. And also a weirdo...' he thought
The boy was wearing a striped t-shirt and jeans, that weren't that weird by the way, but that pair of goggles of his...aviator glasses, fit for a cyber-punk style, with orange lenses on top of that.
"Well, without checking you can't be sure." he sighed, and sat down near the box, to check game's packaging and to make sure they weren't damaged
The boy seemed to calm down.
"Thanks. I'm Matt, by the way." he smiled shyly
"Mello." he simply replied
He knew the red head was staring at him. Well, his style was quite flashy too, black leather pants and black t-shirt. Let alone his long hair.
"Here, they all look ok to me." he said, lifting the box "It's too heavy for you, I'll bring it to your room."
Matt was shorter than him and really thin, no wonder he had dropped the box before.
"No, you don't have to..." the red head tried to protest, but Mello was already walking towards his room, so he could do nothing but follow "Can you put it near the cupboard, please?"
The blonde did as he was told, glancing around the room in disbelief. It was already filled with games, computer parts and lots of electronic devices.
"You've almost finished unpacking." he stated
"I've been here since yesterday."
Mello nodded and walked away to find his bag. He was in need for chocolate.
"What about your things? You need help?" Matt offered, still following him like a doggy
"My parents are going to send them later, so no need to worry."
He took the bag, placed it on the table and opened a pocket full of chocolate bars.
"Wow! You must really love sweets!"
"Not particularly. I only like chocolate."
Matt was a little disappointed by the coldness of his housemate. Since he found silence very awkward, he decided to ask random questions. He thought it would be great to become friends with Mello, so they could do a bunch of things together, like watching films and playing videogames. Not that Mello seemed the gamer type though.
"So, what else do you like, apart from chocolate?"
Mello observed him for a moment and nearly smirked. He knew that saying 'boys' wouldn't have been a smart choice if he didn't want to freak out Matt.
Not that he had to worry, he wasn't into cute red heads.
"Books and music. What about you? Games and...?"
Matt smiled and stated enthusiastically:
"Dancing!"
Mello had to admit he didn't see that coming. He imagined the red head to be even more unsocial than he was, considered he liked games and stuff...but he turned out to be a dancer.
"Unexpected." and smirked at him
Matt blushed lightly, seeing Mello's smile for the first time.
"You see, my childhood friend and I started dancing together while watching music programs on tv...speaking of which, do you mind if she comes to visit sometimes?"
The blonde shook his head, even though he didn't particularly like the idea of some random girl visiting his house.
"Does she live far from here?"
"Not really, twenty minutes by bus more or less...we wanted to move in together, but she found herself a boyfriend, so..."
For a moment, Matt looked awfully lonely. It must have hurt to be considered the third wheel.
"Here." Mello said, offering him one of his chocolate bar "Have a bite."
The red head smiled.
"Well chocolate can solve any problem." he joked, unwrapping the bar
"About any problem concerning mood." Mello answered, serious
Matt bit the chocolate and glanced at his housemate. He wasn't easy to read, but he had the feeling something was troubling him. They weren't really friends, so was it ok for him to ask?
"Um, is this the reason you have this many chocolate bars?"
His voice was barely audible.
He noticed Mello froze, like he was remembering something unpleasant.
"I would usually answer that this is none of your business. But since we're living together and I've decided to be polite, I'll just say that I haven't been in a good mood lately. That's all."
Then he took his bag and walked towards his own room. Matt didn't see his face for the rest of the evening.

In his room, Mello was listening to music again and staring at a blank sheet of paper.
He wanted to write down a short list of the parts of his personality he had to improve.
1. Less swearing
Not that easy, but he could try. He didn't swear too much that day, after all.

What your life has failed to grant you
live to claim, and claim to live
So many paths lead to tomorrow
what love has lost can you forgive?

The song made point two of the list come to his mind.
2. Forget about him
He underlined the word "him" twice. Their relationship had been an important part of his life, but it had ended. And he could do nothing about it, so he had to move forward.
'Easy' he sighed, sarcastically
He was passionate about his relationships, so he couldn't really see them from a rational point of view. Sometimes he even wondered if he had actually understood love itself.
'It's not the right moment to be a depressed fifteen year-old girl.' he told himself 'Back to my list, could I try reducing my daily chocolate consumption?'
He chuckled. Like it was possible!

We all know he's never going to reduce it! ^^
Btw, if you are Matt's orange goggles fans, please don't kill me! ^^ I couldn't figure out how to justify the goggles, so I had to change them a bit!
Hope you enjoyed anyway! ^^
This chapter's song is "Ariadne" by The Cruxshadows, like I said before ^^
