authors note: Wow! I finally got that posted! I'm like the worst procrastinator (yikes big word) ever! Um, Don't kill me for slow updating? Hee hee? I'm just going to go now.
Well as usual I don't own anything (except Jessica Jordan but I don't really care about her).
The morning after Mello's bad dream Matt was woken by the sunlight streaming through the window and blinding him. He looked over at Mello, the sun making his hair look like golden fire. Matt smiled, he loved the fourteen year old more then just a friend or even a brother and he know Mello felt the same way. Nobody else at Wammy's House knew how the two felt and he was going to keep it that way.
"Matt?"
Matt twitched in surprise. He hadn't realized Mello was awake.
Mello rolled over to look at Matt. "You know I can tell when you're watching me like that" Mello said, grinning. Matt grinned back.
Suddenly Mello bolted upright. "Oh shit, we're gonna be lat for class!"
"Cool it, Mells! It's Saturday," Matt said, sitting up.
"Oh" Mello said, sitting back down on his bed next to Matt. "… So what do you want to do today?"
"Well first I want to get dressed" Matt said with a grin.
"Good idea" Mello said with a laugh.
They both got dressed, Mello in a pair of black jeans and a black shirt and Matt in blue jeans, a black and white striped shirt, and his trademark orange goggles perched, at the moment, on his red hair. Then they headed down to the dining room for breakfast.
They had just sat down to eat in the dinning hall when Near walked over to their table.
"Look out, someone let the Sheep out early today," Mello muttered to Matt, who tried unsuccessfully to stifle a laugh.
"What do you want, Sheep?" Mello asked in a not so friendly tone.
Near didn't even bat an eyelash. Instead he turned to Matt saying in his usual monotone "Rodger would like to see you in his office when you have completed your meal, Matt." With that the albino walked out of the room, back to the least populated of the two playrooms to do what ever Near did.
"Great," Matt grumbled, picking up his tray and walking to the counter to give it to the kitchen staff.
Mello, slightly put out by being ignored, fallowed his friend wondering out loud as to why Rodger wanted to see him.
After that Matt went to Rodger's office and Mello wandered back to their room for more chocolate.
At the door to Rodger's office Matt paused to knock.
"Come in," called Rodger.
Matt pushed open the door and walked in. "I'm in trouble, again, right?" he asked resigned to the thought of his punishment.
"No," Matt looked up from studying his striped socks. "Actually I had a few questions about Mello."
"Oh. Well then fire away, Sir."
"Please sit down. Now I've noticed Mello has been having nightmares rather frequently. Can you tell me anything?"
Back in Matt and Mello's room Mello was sitting on his bed, eating a chocolate bar and thinking back to his dream last night.
Flashback, 9 Years Ago
Mello sat on a hard gray chair in a cold gray waiting room lost in his sad gray thoughts. He had been sent to a group home temporarily after his mother died and now he was waiting in the Child Services office to figure out a permanent home.
"Mihael Keehl?" asked a middle-aged woman in a dark blue suit, Jessica Jordan by her nametag. Mello looked up and nodded half-heartedly at the woman.
"Please fallow me," she said and they walked into an office. Mrs. Jordan sat down behind the desk and motioned for Mello to sit in the free chair in front of the desk.
An old man in a gray suit sat in the other chair.
"This is Mr. Quillish Wammy. He has agreed to take you to his home for gifted children, Wammy's House, to be precise."
Well, that was it, my second chapter! Review and tell me what you think! Oh, and I might be changing my pen name soon, so yeah. See you in the next chapter!
