A/N Hi there again. Thanx for continuing on my story. Okay now I'm just gonna go ahead and let you read. Enjoy!


The friendship between the two boys stayed strong just like Matt predicted. Next week both of the boys turned 6, so they would keep their room, but go to different places. They now went no where without the other. Where ever Mello went, Matt followed. Even Mello did the same with Matt. No one could separate the two. Not Near, not L, and not even Roger.

"So Mello," Matt started saying to his blonde friend.

"Yea?" Mello asked.

"Are you excited about us turning 6 next week?" Matt asked as he opened his Nintendo DS and put in Mario 64.

"Yea, and the good thing is, I get to spend it with someone for once." Mello said opening a chocolate bar and biting into it fiercely.

"You've always spent it alone?" Matt asked.

"Yea, but maybe this one won't be so bad." Mello said.

"Yep and I got you an awesome present." Matt thought.

"He's staring in space again. Oh well I got an awesome gift for him. Matt's gonna love this. Wow I'm spacing out too. Maybe he won't notice, no wait! He's staring right at me!" Okay Mello snap out of it. Oh Matt looks so cute with his goggles on." Mello thought.

Mello, you were spacing out again. If you keep that up, you'll run into a pole." Matt said teasingly.

"Yea, but oh well, even if I do, you'd help me." Mello said.

"What makes you think I will?" Matt asked.

"Because you always do." Mello said.

"True." Matt said.

"Hey Mello," Matt started again.

"Yea?" Mello asked.

"Are you glad we're friends?" Matt asked.

"Yea and I like that way only." Mello said.

"Agreed." Matt said.

The day continued with the usual: Knocking down Near's dice tower, eating chocolate, playing Games, yep the usual.

"Hey Mello," Matt said trying to get the blonde's attention.

"Yea?" Mello asked looking down at Matt.

"Let's go for a walk." Matt insisted.

"Okay." Mello said getting down and following the red-head gamer.

"Why did you want to take a walk?" Mello asked.

" I guess to get some air." Matt said.

"Matt, I know there's another reason." Mello said getting annoyed.

"Mello, what if one of us gets adopted?" Matt asked with fear in his voice.

"We'd steal each other back." Mello said.

"Mello, I mean, what if we never saw each other again?" Matt asked with a trembling voice.

"Where's this all coming from?" Mello asked.

"Mello Roger came to me today and he told me I was getting adopted." Matt said now crying.

"What?!" Mello said in shock. "No one's gonna take you away from me. Your mine Got that?" Mello said.

"But Mello, he said he's gonna pick me up next week." Matt said trying to wipe the tears away, but it wasn't working.

"No he's not! Okay? No he's not!" Mello said getting upset, " We are going straight to Roger right now." Mello said.

"But Mello," Matt said.

"Come on Matt!" Mello said now dragging the red-head by by the arm into Roger's office.

"Roger! What is wrong with you?! You can't just give Matt away!" Mello yelled furiously.

"Mello, I'm sorry but you two have been too friendly lately. I'm gonna have to give Matt away because of this looks like to me more than friendship thing." Roger said.

"What?!" Mello yelled. "You pervert! Matt and I are just best friends."

"Then what about that storm night?" Roger asked.

"You spied on us?" Mello asked.

"Yes, I check in with all the children at night and I saw Matt holding your waist tightly, pulling you closer, and you were blushing." Roger explained.

"So you were blushing?" Matt asked while slightly blushing himself.

"Matt not helping," Mello said annoyed.

"I'm sorry Mello, but he has to go." Roger said.

"If he goes, then-then I go too!" Mello yelled.

"No Mello, and I suggest you two stay in different rooms till next week. Roger said calmly.

"Not gonna happen Roger!" Mello yelled at the elder man.

"Mello I'm not afraid to lock you in a different room." Roger said.

"Come on Matt!" Mello said as he pulled Matt by his sleeve and pulled him out of the room. Once they made it to their room, they shut the door and locked it.

"Mello, please don't leave me." Matt said.

"I'm not leaving you." Mello said to his friend.

"But Roger, and the others, and-Mello I-I'm scared!" Matt said now crying again.

"I know Matt, but I won't let you leave and why does Roger suspect were gay?" Mello asked confused.

"O-okay, And wasn't it that night?" Matt asked.

"Yea why were you holding me?" Mello asked.

"I was comforting you." Matt explained.

"I'm sorry Matt. this is all my fault." Mello said.

"How?" Matt asked.

"Because of my stupid fear!" Mello yelled.

"Mello don't worry, I'm not going anywhere without you there by me. Your my best friend." Matt said.

"Thanks Matt." Mello said as he sat down on Matt's bed by him.

"Wait." Matt started, "Doesn't Roger have a key to all the rooms here?" Matt asked.

"OH NO!" Mello yelled as he heard a key trying to unlock the door.

"Mello..." Matt whispered.

Mello was now hiding under their bed hoping that Roger wouldn't find him.

"Where's Mello?" Roger asked the sobbing Matt.

"Um..." Matt started.

"Matt where is he?" Roger asked once again.

"I don't know!" Matt answered.

"Matt don't lie to me!" Roger said as he raised his hand.

Mello saw this and he jumped out from under the bed and pushed Roger back.

"MELLO!" Roger yelled.

"Don't you ever touch him." Mello said slow but deathly voice.

"Your coming with me Mello!" Roger said as he grabbed the blonde's wrist and pulled him out of the room.

"MATT!!" Mello yelled trying to pull back.

"MELLO DON'T LEAVE ME!!" Matt yelled back as he tried to run toward Mello, but was thrown back by another one of Roger's friends.


The next week came and Mello and Matt were not excited at all about today. Even if it was their birthday, the only thing that hurt them was the fact that they would be separated forever in about 2 hours. They weren't allowed to even see each other until after Matt was gone.

Mello sat in his room and sighed. Roger was always watching him through camera and had no escape because of the alarm that went off if Mello left the room.

In Matt's room, it was the same. He hated this. He wanted to see his friend again. Roger wanted them to be separated cause he doesn't believe in gay couples. "But Mello, and I aren't gay, why would he? I know that night, but," Matt continued to think to himself and he noticed that he was starting to cry again. "Mello..." he could only think of Mello.

"Matt!" Roger called from downstairs. "It's time to meet your new father. Hurry up and come downstairs."

Even Mello heard this and he didn't care about the alarm, he ran out of his room downstairs to see Matt already down there. The man was a tall guy wearing a black suit and he was holding a suitcase. He had short black hair and looked friendly, but Mello knew that no one could be friendly and gentle with Matt. He held his hand out to pat Matt's head, and Mello jumped into action.

"No! Don't touch him!" were the words out of Mello's mouth. Mello jumped in front of Matt and glared at both Roger and the man.

"I'm so sorry. He wasn't suppose to be here." Roger tried explaining.

"It's okay, he's just protective of his friend." the man said. "Hey there. don't worry, I'll take good care of your little friend." the man whispered to Mello.

"No! Matt is my friend!' Mello said as a response.

"Aw Come on now, I'll bring him back." the man said.

"Your lying!" Mello yelled as he hugged Matt tightly.

"Mello let him go now!" Roger yelled at the violent blonde.

"No!" Mello yelled back, "I'm not going anywhere without Matt! he was my first friend, and I'm not gonna lose him now." Mello said bravely.

"Maybe I should take them both?" the man asked.

"No!" Roger yelled, "I want them separated!"

"Okay I'll take Matt." the man said.

"Okay!" Roger said now signing the papers.

L came in at this time to say his part.

"Roger" L said.

"Yes L?" Roger asked.

"Can I talk to you alone for a moment?" L asked pointing to the wall.

"Sure. I'll be right back." Roger told the man.

After a few minutes of discussion with L, L walked out and left Roger to whisper something into the other man's ear.

"Okay then." the man said as he picked Matt's stuff up and headed toward the car.

"MATT!" Mello yelled, actually for once in his life, starting crying.

"Mello..." Matt said as he hugged his best friend and was held back by Roger so he didn't try anything else on Matt.

The man returned moments later ready for Matt.

"Mello," Matt said as he walked toward Mello one last time.

"Yea?" Mello said as he stop trying to escape from Roger's grip.

"Here." Matt said as took off his goggles and handed them to Mello.

"Matt I can't." Mello said now tearful.

"Please." Matt said.

"Okay" Mello said as he took the goggles and held them close.

Matt managed to give Mello one more hug with tears falling on Mello's cheek. Both boys were crying as Matt left silently with the man.
