A/N: I do not own Death Note..and if I did Matt would have gotten a hell load of screen time, and he would have married Mello :D
A sheet of white covered Winchester like a thick white blanket, laying its self upon the usual green grass outside. A redheaded teenage boy was staring out of a library window, a book clutched firmly in his grip, his green eyes fixed on the other children outside, playing snowball fights and attempting to make Snowmen. He chuckled quietly as he a saw a boy tumbling to the gorund, the force of the snowball knocking him clean onto the snow. He then dropped the book on the floor and sighed dramatically and moved his head to look at his blonde friend who was studying a book, a vacant expression etched upon his pale face. Matt studied his friend for a while, noticing the way the blonde bit his lip in concentration, the way he'd occasionally move his golden fringe away from his eyes, and the way he licked his lips when turning a page... Finally, when bordem finally consumed Matt, he opened his mouth to speak.
"Mells, I'm bored" The redhead spoke in a monotone, glancing outside at the children again. The blonde looked up from the book, his blue eyes fixed on the redhead with an exasperated expression
"Then feel free to leave" Mello sighed, adverting his attention back the book, which in his opinion was boring the hell out of him
"I don't want to leave" Matt spoke again, mumbling a little. He sat up and walked over to the bookshelf and placed the book back on the shelf and then wandered back to Mello, flopping himself down bedside him.
"What do you want Matt?" Mello sighed, closing the book with a thud
You Matt thought quickly, before shaking the thought out of his head quickly.
"I'm just bored..." Matt sighed. Mello rolled his eyes, entertaining his scarlet-haired friend proved especially difficult, annoyance filled Mello.
"Then leave" Mello glared, shooting daggers in Matts direction.
"Fine then" Matt sighed, and walked out the library feeling hurt. He left the double doors and made his way down the corridor and up the winding black stair-case of Wammys House, plodding along dis-contentedly. He walked past an open door, which was the play room, and saw lego towers, toppling on top of each other, each bright primary coloured brick stacked neatly upon each other, to make a piece of art. Matt stalked into the room, wanting to see more, marvelling at the beauty of the lego towers. He dodged by one, careful not to knock over the art, and then stopped, seeing a snow haired boy in the middle, his knee to his chest and he appeared to be playing with finger puppets, each puppet representing a person who lived in Wammys. He didn't seem to notice that Matt had walked into the room, but instead kept his head low. Matt stared at the boy for a while, watching him. The snow-haired boy occasionally began twirling his silver locks around his index finger, before speaking, his voice low and monotone, his eyes which where blank and grey, still planted to the ground
"Hello Matt"
Matt jumped in surprise, nearly knocking over a precariously placed lego tower
"Oh! Near, hey.." Matt stumbled, trying to pull himself back together
"Why are you not outside playing with the others?" Near inquired, still twirling a lock of hair around his finger
"I was studying with Mello in the library, but I got bored so I decided to go on a walk" Matt replied, sitting down on the floor next to Near, who still wasn't making eye contact with him at all, his blank eyes fixed on his finger puppets. Matt noticed a Mello finger puppet, one of Roger, one of L, and one of himself.
"You do not have a game console with you?" Near questioned. The corners of Matt's mouth tugged into a smile. Near pretty much knew everything about everyone, without the need for social interactions.
"Mello wouldn't let me take my DS into the library" Matt replied, crossing his legs. Near nodded.
"Must you do everything Mello tells you too?" Near inquired, twirling his hair even more round his finger
"Its better off that way..otherwise he has massive bitch-fits" Matt admitted, smirking. It did make him wonder though. He gave his goodbyes to Near, leaving him in his lego fortress and trudged down the long narrow hallways. He stopped by a window, the glass was intricate and colourful, Matt tried to remember the name of the special coloured glass..stained glass was it? Matt nodded at the thought and then looked out through the colourful rich hues and noticed how beautiful the snow looked through the kaleidoscopic glass. He spent three minutes or so, watching the snow fall and then he heard footsteps behind him. He jolted and looked around. Mello was standing behind him, a chocolate bar in his grip, his blonde hair tousled and his blue eyes shining.
"Hey Mells" Matt mumbled. Mello smirked and walked towards him, his thick black boots thumping against the wood.
"Have you finished having a strop yet?" Mello asked. Matt looked incredulously at the blonde, his mouth agape.
"You're the one who told me to go!" Matt yelled, anger filling him. He was sick of Mello twisting everything, of Mello controlling his every move
"Because you were being a little bitch about being bored!" Mello sniped. Matt rolled his eyes, he seriously could not be bothered to argue back
"Yeah sure" Matt muttered, a yawn following afterwards.
"So you want to go outside then or what..?" Mello grinned. Matt's green eyes glinted, smiling back at the blonde, happy Mello wasn't pissed off at him anymore
"Ah..I don't know Mells..I've got Bioshock Infinate to complete.." Matt joked, walking towards his best friend
"Shut it you" Mello grinned, wrapping his arm around Matt's shoulders
"Now lets see if we can get you in a wooly hat..."
A/N: So..how was that? Was it good? Was it absolutely atrocious? Let me know..if you do you get a cookie..;D
