Okay... for you who feels that you flamed this fic (it was anon, so I deleted it), please note that I'm here to practice my writing skill, not to boast of how good I am. I realised that I'm not an expert at writing fics so, instead of flaming and discouraging only, you should tell me where I go wrong and I will follow your sensible instruction, fixing the part. Thanks.

Midnight Cat: Repetition

Matt stared in disbelief. Does his eyes are playing trick on him? He's quite sure Mello took enough pills already to make himself remains a human for the entire day. The kitty purred softly and looked around.

"... Mello, have you taken your pills?"

The kitty purred again.

"Oh, great." Matt lifted Mello and put him on his shoulder. He turned his back from the game shop and quickly walked back home.

XxXxXxX

Matt opened the drawer on his room and found a bottle of purple pills. He took one and feed it into Mello's mouth.

Series of mist surrounded the kitty and soon, he changed into human. "Shit, Matt, what happened?"

"That's supposed to be my line. Have you taken your pills this morning?"

"Well, you saw me, didn't you?" Mello insisted. "Seriously! I took like... 20 pills for 6 hours!"

"That doesn't explain why you turn back into kitty. Lucky you, there's not much people around to notice you. If they do? I'm going to die. Remember that guy in the news who was caught not returning the experimental pets? He's jailed for three months. If that happens to me, you gonna regret it." Matt lectured. "If I'm jailed, then no more sex for you."

"Mello will help you bail out of jail, Matt."

"Okay, that's nice. Ha ha." Matt said, sarcastically. "Mello, try calling Stripes again, he might be home by now."

"Yes, master." Mello answered, sarcastically.

"That's my baby." The other guy chuckled before a pillow hit him on his head.

Mello took his black cell phone and suddenly, somebody called him. Shocked, he almost dropped his phone. "Hello?" He grumbled.

"Ah, Mello, you got any business with me?" There we go, a really familiar voice.

"Stripes." The blond put the phone away from his ear, knowing what his lover will do.

"What?" Matt snatched the phone from Mello's hand, just exactly what Mello thought he would do. "Hey, idiot, where were you? We were dying, looking for you."

There was no answer for a few seconds.

"Stripes?" Matt set the call into loudspeaker so Mello can hear that as well.

"Ah, I was... how do I say this. Hm..." There was a hesitation on Stripes's tone. "I was on the university. Yeah, I... what am I talking. Um... Here, here. So, I was on the university hall and..."

"To the point, please." Mello shouted.

"Well, actually... I met Linda and..."

"So you guys are busy making out while we were looking for you?"

"You guys are looking for me?"

"Even Light and Ryuuzaki." Mello sighed. "Either way, just call him and tell him that you're unscathed." he snorted and clicked on the red button on the phone straightaway to end the call. "There we go. Our lost boy is making out with his girlfriend." he snorted again and put the phone on the table.

Matt scratched his head, didn't know what to say.

o.O.O.o

Ryuuzaki was quiet on his way home. He sucked his thumb as always and walked with his bent body as usual, just... he looked so annoyed.

"Ryuuzaki." Light called. "Why are you so upset about Stripes forgetting to go to your home? I mean, isn't it a good thing that he's forward on his relationship with Linda?"

The raven-haired guy groaned and pout. "But I hate being ignored. Even by him."

The other guy rolled his eyes. "Come on, stop being such a kid."

"Light-kun, can I come to your apartment today?"

Light's face turned red, knowing what the guy in front of him was plotting. "F-fine. But not too loud, okay? You know what I mean, don't you?"

"No. What's not too loud?" Ryuuzaki responded, looking amused.

"D-don't make me say it."

"But I want to know..."

o.o.o.o

Matt yawned and stretched. "I don't feel like studying anymore. Mello, on the time of the university test, can you sit next to me? That way we can... you know?"

Mello arched his eyebrows, staring at Matt.

"What?"

He smirked.

"Not that kind of thinking, idiot! I mean, if you sit next to me then, I can look at your test paper!"

"As if I'll show it to you." Mello rolled his eyes, again, for the... countless time today. "You know, you really should study for-"

There was an awkward silence conquering that room. Mello did not finish his sentence and Matt paused, waiting for another lecture but, he heard nothing. "Mello?" he turned his body to face the blond. His eyes widened. "Mello? Why in the world..." he looked at his watch. "Not even 30 minutes..."

"Meow..." the kitty in front of him purred, still covered in mist since the window is not opened.

"I swear... you took the pill 20 minutes ago, didn't you?"

Mello purred and rub his ears.

"What the heck is going on?" he paused. "I should call Aiden-san." Matt mumbled as he took his phone out of his pocket and began clicking on it. "Aiden-san, this is me, Matt. I wonder-"

"Matt, I'm really sorry but I have some errands to do. I'll talk to you later." just that, the former scientist hung up.

The redhead paused and sighed. "I better get some more pills for Mello. Maybe it's just my memory being a rebel." Matt took one pill out of the box and fed it to Mello. White mist surrounds the kitty and he turned back into human.

"What was that?" He grumbled.

"I don't know."

"That was twenty fucking minutes! Maybe those scientists made a mistake on the pills or something? Let's open another box." he opened the drawer and took a box full of purple pills. He gulped it down with water. They sat on the bed without making any noise. Matt looked worried and Mello looked impatient.

Later on, Mello was eating his chocolate while Matt lied on the blond's lap, playing on his DS.

"Mello, do you think you'll pass the test to university?"

"I think, yeah." he answered. "Why? You doubt my brain?"

"Not that. I'm just trying to break the silence, you know. It's just rare. I mean, we never actually shut up when we're together, right?"

"Even at night."

Matt went all red and gave Mello a playful punch to his chin. "Hm... sometimes I wonder how Ethan is doing."

"Why would you think of a bastard like him?"

"Well... I don't know. I'm just wondering. Is that wrong?"

"Not entirely." The blond nibbled on his chocolate again. Matt blinked and grabbed Mello's hand, brought it closer to his mouth and ate a tiny bit of the chocolate. Mello just let Matt did whatever he wanted. If anyone else steals his chocolate, though, he will surely kill them. Matt is just... special. He gain the attention that everyone else could not from Mello.

But sometimes... he feels like playing a prank on the redhead.

Mello smirked, forcing the chocolate onto Matt's mouth, making him gag and choked.

"Dude, what was that for?"

Seeing his expression, Mello could not help but burst into laughter.

"You bastard!" Matt jumped and put the other guy on playful headlock. "Amusing, huh?"

Mello still can't help himself. Tears falling from both of his eyes and his stomach starting to ache. "Man, your facial expression was really weird! I should do that more often from now on."

Just before Matt could say anything to respond, mist surrounds the thin figure in front of him and when it disappeared, a kitty was there. Matt paused before he looked at his watch. "2 pills, 40 minutes..."
