Hellooo. Welcome once again to the den of the freak. I'm glad you came. Haha, 'came'..
Well, anyways, on with the next damn chapter.
Chapter Deux: Detention or No?
Mello was seething. The first day knowing this imbecile and he already got in a fight with him! Yea. Just as he guessed the day would be earlier. Terrible.
When Mello and Matt had arrived at Rodger's office, they each took a seat in one the cushioned chairs adorning the room. Mello sat grumbling to himself with his arms still across his chest. Matt just stared at him blankly from his own seat.
Mello had noticed this after about thirty seconds and found it highly vexing. So he snapped at the redhead.
"What the fuck is your problem, dipshit?!" Matt just chuckled at him.
"Spit it out, fuckface!" Matt stopped laughing, but still had a smile on his lips.
"I just love your fine selection of vocabulary. And it's kinda cute to watch you get all worked up like that." Mello's jaw dropped a fraction and he stared. 'Cute'?
"'Cute?!' Ugh! You're fucking gay!"
"So what if I am? You're way more queer than I am."
"How the fuck would you know that?!" Matt was really pissing him off now, calling him queer.
"Dude, it's written all over your face, your hair, and your leather pants. Oh and you walk around with a sign posted on your chest that says 'One-hundred percent GAY' in flashy pink letters." Mello's fury rocketed to an abnormal level and he made to attack Matt once more.
Rodger briskly walked in, blocking Mello's target. He glared at Mello who was out of his seat looking ready to kill the other boy.
"Mello, sit down now. And refrain from glaring at Matt." Matt smirked in his seat.
"Now I'd like to ask just why the two of you were fighting in there?" Matt opened his mouth to speak, but Mello beat him to it.
"He blatantly threatened to put his dick in my face!" Rodger looked to Matt, unbelieving.
"Matt," Rodger calmly adressed him. "What is your side of the story?" Matt smirked evily at Mello, though Rodger didn't seem to notice.
"Well, after I got out of the shower, I saw that Mello was staring at me. So I decided to try and make some friendly conversation with him, and he totally took it the wrong way and attacked me." Mello's face flashed with anger.
"You liar! You said you were going to--!" He was cut off by an annoyed Rodger.
"Mello! Please stop shouting! I'm sure you were just overreacting to Matt's attempt at befriending you. You never try to get along with people, ever."
Mello glared daggers at matts eyeballs as he just smiled innocently back at him. God, he hated this bastard!
"Now, since it's Matt's first day, I will not punish him for your behavior, Mello. However, I'm still contemplating wether I should give you Saturday detention or not. What do you think Matt?
Oh, Matt looked like he was in heaven! He had complete control over the blonde right now. He could send him to detention like he deserved, or have mercy on him and let him free. What would her choose..?
"Hmm.." Matt tilted his head to the side, tapping his right index finger lightly on his chin. "Well I think..Mello.."
Mello stared at him the slightest bit of hope in his eyes.
"Well maybe instead of detention, Mello could have his chocolate taken away..?" Mello's eyes bulged. What the shit was he thinking?! Did he some sort of deathwish?!
"You can't do that to that to me, damnit!"
"Gosh, calm down, Mello. Hm.. how about you just apologize? Sincerely? Wouldn't that just be easier?" Mello's stomach churned. He detested doing thimgs like 'apologizing' or saying 'please and 'thankyou'. But if it meant he could keep his sacred chocolate..
"Fine." He stated stiffly through clenched teeth. "I'll just apolgize." Rodger smiled. "Well, I'm glad we have come to some sort of agreement. Now Mello, you may apologize." Mello locked eyes with Matt and put on the calmest face he could manage.
"Matt, I am terribly sorry for attcking you." Mello knew he was a good actor, and this would be juust perfect for the two assholes to hear.
"You are forgiven, Mello." Matt smiled at him again and Rodger eased up a bit seeing there wasn't going to be another attack from Mello. For the time being anyways.
"Now Mello, I expect you to bahve a little more nicely with Matt. I don't want to hear of you two fighting ever again. Do you both understand?" Both boys nodded.
"Good. Oh, and I'd like to let you now, I've already informed L about your behavior." Matt looked confused. Rodger must not have told him about the famous detectivbe this orphanage was created for, L Lawliet. Though that fact made Mello somewhat happy, he was appaled that L now knew that one of his successors hadn't been acting like he was expected to. Mello knew he was supposed to be better than the other orphans and he had let L and himself down.
Mello looked down to ground, his bangs falling in front of his eyes, shielding them.
"How mad was he..?" He asked quietly.
"Well," Rodger conremplated. "I don't think he was mad, so much as dissapointed. He knows how emotinal you are and he understands. This does not affect your standing in being L's successor, so don't worry too much."
Mello sighed in relief. Though the next time he saw L, he'd probably ask why he had been misbehaving like that.
"Now the two of you are excused."
Matt quickly got up and looked to Mello waiting for him to follow along. He reluctantly did so.
They walked back to the room with Mello in defeat and Matt in triumph. All's well that ends well. After they were safely in the privacy of their room, Mello slunked into the chair at his desk. He moved to turn the lamp that used to be there on, but then remembered it had been one of the casualties in their little battle.
"Damnit. I'll have to ask Rodger for a new lamp now." After that he was silent, picking up all the chocolate Matt had spilled to the floor. He threw them back into the drawer they were in and readjusted it back into it's it's slot in the desk. He sighed.
"I really hate you, ya' knw that?" He glanced to Matt with a half-hearted glare.
"Hm? Oh yea. I guess I hate you too." He had his goggles back on, blocking Mello's chance of seeing them.
"Ugh, whatever." Mello lay down on his bed with a chocolate bar in hand, and went back to reading a textbook; something he constantly seemed to be doing.
Matt sighed from across the room and plopped down on his messy bed and pulled a DS out of his backpack.
Mello just remembered how he had deliberately gone agaisnt Matt's will and looked through his personal items earlier. His heart skipped a single beat. He felt somewhat guilty; after all, the boy did let him go free. Ah well. It was his room anyways. He deserved to go through whatever lay in it.
Then he had the sudden urge to ask about Matt's family and why he had to come here. He wanted to know exactly what had caused this person to intrude on his life, because he sure as hell knew it wasn't fate. He didn't believe in such things.
However, for some stupid reason, he felt too nervous to ask the redhead such personal questions. Maybe it would come up later..? But for now, he just tried to enjoy the calm that had swept over them. Maybe it won't turn out too bad. The kid did seem kind of, for lack of a better word, 'nice'.
However long they shared that comfortable silence, Mello didn't know. But he didn't really care for once.
End of Detention or No?
Aaaaand..DONE! Shorter than the last chapter..hmm guess I got lazy. But it's not my fault when I'm surrounded by a bajillion people. Well anyways, I hope you enjoyed it. The next chpater will be up soon, hopefully. Mello and Matt will learn more about eachother. Maybe. Haven't decided yet..
And isn't Matt just a saint?!:D How sweet of him to let Mello go free! Though I'm pretty sure Mello would have rather taken the anyways,until next time,
Goodbye.
