A/N: here is chapter two for mello's beginning, I hope it is ok, again mello is ooc severely here, but then again we don't know how he acted as a child around matt.
PS: mello and matt trust each other enough to call each other by their true names. Didn't clarify that last time, Read and review
Chapter 1:
Ripping open the door to my room, I run inside then quickly slam it after entering the room, startling my red headed roommate awake. He sits up as I begin to throw things randomly throughout the room. I start screaming all the profanities that I knew of. Mail shakes his head before standing up; he knew right away that something was wrong. "Miheal, what's the matter? What did roger do now?"
"You want to know!?" I scream at him flinching internally at my own voice hoping he would understand that I wasn't really angry but I was just upset. "Why the fuck do you care?" I begin throwing a set of books at him that L had gotten me for my last birthday. Mail sighs dodging all my attempts to hit him, probably acting like it was one of those video games he likes playing so much, "Miheal, I care because you're my best friend and I DO care about you."
I keep pelting him with books as he gets closer I realize that I am out of books to throw. Mail grabs my hand before I can pick up something else and begin to throw that at him. "Miheal, calm down and tell me what's wrong" he says slowly, whispering so that only I can hear him. I slowly calm down so I could talk to him and my emotions that I hide well behind a mask. I begin crying slowly escalating into complete sobs.
Mail pulls me over to my bed making me sit down on it; he grabs a chair from the computer desk and sits it before me so we are on eye level, since he is a head taller than me. "Now Miheal, tell me what made you this pissed off and upset?" I look at him straight in the emerald orbs that are usually covered by horrible, ugly goggles. I begin sobbing again having calmed down and was beginning to forget like I always did in his presence.
"It's L…." I say whispering, thinking mail already knew. He tipped his head looking like a confused dog "what's wrong with L, Miheal?" he spoke softly. "You don't know?" "No, should I Miheal?" I whimpered realizing that I was going have to tell him what roger said. I take a deep breath and begin telling him, "L is dead mail… He's gone, kira got him… I guess he wasn't careful enough, he trusted someone he shouldn't." I cry more while crying and my voice had gotten shaky at the end, my whole body getting rocked with the sobs that were going through it.
I fall of the bed onto the floor on my knees, I bury my head in his knees while continuing to sob. I begin to feel his hands on my hair raking his fingers through it calming me the way he knew that worked on me. "Miheal I know you're upset right now but think about this, L knew the risks before taking the case on. He wouldn't have been stupid enough to take the case if he didn't think there was even the slightest chance of figuring the case out. He just misplaced his trust or was trying to lull kira into a false sense of security and ended up not being able to do it quick enough."
I look up at him sit with a small sad smile. "I guess not" I say calmly I begin to clean the tears off my face while he begins talking again. "Now Miheal, that explains why you were upset but why were you so pissed off when you came in?" I begin a strong feeling of hate and anger grow in me and I hiss out "did you have to remind me?" " yes I did Miheal, I want to know why u were so pissed off at the world when you came into the room" he whispers calmly. "It was that stupid fucking douche bag roger!" I begin to try to stand when mail pushes me down on my bed so he didn't have the chance of getting things thrown at him again. "Miheal what did roger and his big nose do?"
"Mail, L wasn't able to pick an successor before he died, so roger tried to get me and near to work together!" I yell at him flinching again internally before I ask myself why im yelling at him when it wasn't his fault. "Miheal, are u sure roger wasn't playing a joke? I mean you, me, hell even L knows/knew that you would never work with him" he said laughing like it was a big joke. "No Mail he wasn't kidding, he really wanted me and near to work together." Mail laughs again "yeah right. It wouldn't happen ever. So what are you going to Miheal?" I sigh "Im not quite sure as of yet, I know that im going to have to figure out my own way to find a way to surpass L…"
"well Miheal you know im here for you, how about you get some sleep to calm down and ill be back later with food for you" I smile at him before crawling into bed "thanks Mail, you're the best friend I could have hoped for when I came to this horrible place." "you're welcome Miheal, you are the one who got me accustomed to how things work here, and accepted me playing video games all day." He pulls my covers over me slowly before handing me a chocolate bar and a book. "here miheal, just lay here and relax" he goes over to the door before turning back to me "and no doing any homework for classes ok? I mean it, ill cover for you in classes so that the teachers wont care." He opens the door and walks out of it before I can tell him thank you, I lay back down and begin thinking about everything that happened today and what I was going to do to try fix things in my own life. I fall asleep thinking 'Mail, I care for you something strong, I don't know what it is but I know that if you are ever in trouble I will help you in anyway I can'
