"Matt!" The red-head blinks, slowly regaining consciousness. "What are you doing dumbass? Get the hell up!" Matt opens his eyes fully to see his best friend and roommate Mello standing there with and angry look on his face. It takes a couple second for Matt to realize he's soaking wet. "You are such a dumbass! Falling asleep in the rain, Baka!

"Ahn!" Matt stretches his arms out and yawns. " So I stayed up all night playing video games. Bite me."

"Shut up and get your ass inside." They begin to run, nothing but their clothes to protect them against the pouring rain. They reach the Wammy House and go inside, their dripping clothes making the floor wet. The scolding they get from Roger is unpleasant. Both boys give each other occasional glances as Roger goes on a rant about wet floors and cleaning.

*** In Mello and Matt's room***

"Damn! Matt, what the hell were you doing out there?!"

"I dunno. Sleeping?"

"You should change or you'll get sick." Matt didn't realize it but he was shivering from the cold. No wonder Mello sounded a little worried.

"Ah… yeah I should." Matt says as he walks to the dresser and searches through the drawers. There's only 1 shirt and 1 part of pants to change into. What about Mello? Wait… Dammit these are Mello's clothes. Looks like Matt's screwed. "Dude there's none of my clothes in this thing!"

"Oh yeah we did laundry day today so all that crap is in the laundry room getting washed now." 'God Damn it' Mello walks over to where Matt's standing, sees the clothes Matt's holding, Realizes there his and snatches them away.

"Hey!" Matt says angrily.

"There my clothes and I gotta change too." Mello says as he begins stripping off his wet clothes. Matt glares angrily at the wet, shirtless, blond boy in front of him.

"Then what the hell do I change into?"

"Go ask people if they've got some extra clothes. " Matt pouts but agrees. He goes from room to room, angered at Roger for going on and yelling at them for 30 minutes. Now nearly every kid is asleep and the ones who aren't don't have any extra clothes. Except for Linda but no way is he wearing girl's clothes. On the way back to his room something happens to Matt. He starts to feel dizzy. He checks his head 'No fever.' But he feels sick. He makes it back to his room to find that Mello's already shut off the lights. And so shivering and dizzy, Matt crawls into bed and falls asleep. Hoping he'll feel better tomorrow.

*** The Next Day *** g

When he wakes up Matt does not feel any better. His throat hurts, his head is pounding and he feels like he's going to throw up. He wants to miss class and stay in bed. But tests are in 2 days and if he's sick Mello won't be able to concentrate. Matt doesn't want to be the reason Mello loses to Near. Well Mello's going to lose to Near anyway but Matt doesn't want to be blamed as the cause for it. When Mello loses he gets super pissed and if he let Mello find out he was sick then all that pissed-offness would be directed at him. 'I'll just go… Mello won't find out…'

"Matt you lazy ass! Get out of bed your going to be late!" Mello sits on the edge of his roommate's bed and shakes the half asleep gamer roughly. 'No… Can't… Bother… Mello… Must… Try… Not to puke! Dammit stop shaking me!'

"Ok! I'm up." Matt gets up slowly, trying to keep down whatever in his stomach that wants to come back up.

"Hurry up and get ready." Mello says with a smile and then he's off to class. 'That's good. He hasn't noticed I'm sick yet.' Matt get's out of bed and as soon as both feet hit the floor he topples over. He collapses on his knees and begins to shiver violently. Clutching his shoulders Matt realizes his shirts still a little damp. Using his small bed to support himself he gets up and goes to raid the dresser. Luckily he finds a crisp, dry shirt buried under heaps of underwear. Matt slips out of his damp shirt, shivering at the exposal of his skin to the air.

"Ah-choo!" 'Ugh… I'm sick. I'm sick. There's no way I'm not sick. Oh… I'm gonna be sick!" Matt rushes to the bathroom, to empty whatever he ate last night into the toilet. He shivers harshly and his stomach does another flip. He gags, almost throwing up again, but nothing comes out. After he's rinsed his mouth out 3 times Matt heads off to class.
