I got bored…

Hot sauce
"Mello! Give me my dice back now! It's 2:45! Can't we wait to fight until later? I'm tired! "
"No way, you little sheep! You threw away my chocolate bars!"
" I told you I was sorry!" Near exclaimed.
" Sorry doesn't bring my chocolate back does it?" I retort. 'I can't believe he threw my entire stash of chocolate away. That was no accident, and he's not sorry… yet.' I thought angrily to myself as Near tries to wrestle his dice out of my hands.
I push him and he falls on his butt.
"OW!"
" Ha ha!" I laugh.
"Ugh! MELLO! You're gonna pay for that!"
"Riiiiighttttt… sure I will…" I say, my voice doused with sarcasm. I roll my eyes.
Near snarled and tackled me to the ground.
" Get off me, runt!" He was now practically laying on me.
"Give me back my black skull dice!"
" Not until you replace all my chocolate!"
Near sat up, still on top of me.
"Fine! Where can I get your chocolate?'
" Wammy imports it from Japan."
" Then how am I supposed to get your chocolate?!"
" I don't know! That's your problem! Just remember that you don't get your dice back until I get my chocolate!"
At that instant, there were footsteps coming down the hall. As they grew closer, I could hear Matt mumbling incoherently. He then stepped out from the shadows and I could see him. All he was wearing were striped boxers.
And, for some strange reason, he had a half-empty bottle of hot sauce clutched in one hand.
" Hey guys… Could you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep… it's 3 in the morn- " He looked up at that moment, and his eyes widened to the size of tea saucers.
It was at that same instant that I realized that it looked like Near was straddling my lap. It didn't help that we had been fighting in Near's room and he had tackled me onto the bed. I looked at Matt and then at Near, who had apparently also realized what it looked like he was doing, for he was blushing a deep red, and then back at Matt, who was now looking at the bottle in his hand and he muttered:
" I gotta stop drinking hot sauce."
Matt then turned around and walked back to his room, and shut the door behind him.
Near stood up and helped me off his bed
I dusted myself off, seeing how I was now covered in Near germs, and said:
"Remember: No chocolate, no dice."
" Right." He said as I walked out his room, heading back towards my own.
I stopped in the doorway.
"Near." I said.
" Yes?"
" We are to never speak of this to anyone."
" Agreed." Was all he said as I walked away back to my own room without another word.
