It's been about 4 days since I got that letter from Matt, meaning today is the weekend. I was actually really excited to see him; it feels like it's been years since I've seen that red-haired maniac.
But personally, I bet he missed me too. We've always been the closest of friends since I can remember; he even taught me how to play videogames when I was seven. Actually I'm pretty sure he even showed me how to ride a bike. But out of all my memories with Matt my most vivid one was on my tenth birthday…
Flashback.
"Hi Matt," I said greeting him in my doorway; he was wearing his usual grey rimmed goggles with orange-tinted lenses, and that black and white striped shirt he owned twenty copies of. In his right hand he was holding a dark blue bag with colourful tissue paper poking out the top.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEAR!" He yelled shoving the present into my arms then embracing me into a hug. I stiffened at the touch, but relaxed when he pulled away. When I saw his face again he had one of the most stupid grins covering half of his face. I raised an eyebrow questionably, but turned around and walked inside, Matt following of course.
Throughout the day Matt and I played at ton of games, mostly chosen by him. But were still a lot of fun. It hit eleven o'clock and my mom told us it was time to get ready for bed. Being the 'good' children we were, went to my room and got our pyjamas on. When we were finished we jumped into my bed and slipped under the covers.
"Hey Near?" I looked over to Matt and saw his face mere inches away from mine. My breath was caught in my throat and I couldn't form any words.
"D-Do you think maybe I could… Well… Kiss you..." My eyes widened at his words but I subconsciously nodded.
I saw Matt become closer and closer to my face, the inches becoming centimeters, centimeters to milometers, and before I knew it his lips were locked with mine. Since we were still quite little the kiss was just a quick peck on the lips, but it still meant a lot to me. It was after all my first kiss.
End
I guess I kind of knew I was gay since that kiss but I never really wanted to admit it to myself.
I used to always assume that everyone thought that being gay was weird and abnormal, but considering Matt said that everyone knew I guess no one really cared.
After my tenth birthday party my feelings for Matt didn't change, he was still only a friend in my eyes. To be honest I never really had feelings for anyone in my school, no wonder lots of people called me asexual. Guess they can't do that now because I have Mello, and I have feelings for him. Even if some times the feeling is like acid crawling up my throat.
I get a knock at my bedroom door and my mother Watari walks in, "sweet heart the door's for you."
I jump out of bed and run to the door, maybe it's Mello but what would he be doing coming to my house at ten. It might be L and Light but they don't even know where I live. I open the door and the first thing I spot is a head full of dark auburn hair.
There he is, Matt Jeevas. My best friend, first kiss, and the worst secret keeper ever.
Deep in thought I just kind of stood there, until the impatient red-head shook me out of my thoughts.
"Come on Near, I haven't seen you in at least… what has it been? Two or three weeks, don't I deserve a hug," Matt opened his arms welcoming a hug and I just couldn't resist.
I, doing what was by far the most unlikely thing anyone could imagine me doing, jumped on to my videogame addicted friend and wrapped my legs around his waist.
"N-Near what are you doing?" Matt stuttered, cautiously wrapping his arms around me.
Ignoring his question I dug my head into his shoulder, "Matt, how is it possible for you to smell like videogames…"
I heard him chuckle and ruffle my hair, "Maybe cause I play them 24/7 Neary Boy." I swear him and Mello could hold a competition called, 'Who Can Think of The Most Stupidest Name for Near Game.'
And at that moment, me on Matt, my arms wrapped around his waist, my head buried in to his shoulder, the most absolutely clichéd thing happened. Mello decided that right now was the time to pop on by my house.
Now, let`s do some math.
Matt + Me Jumping on him = what appears to be a gay relationship.
What appears to be a gay relationship + an overprotective blonde = separated limbs.
"NEAR!" I heard Mello yell from the other side of my yard, "WHO IS THIS!"
I looked up at Matt and saw his eyes sparkling at the sight of Mello, who apparently was still marching over to us his hands clenched to his sides in tight fists.
"Mello," I said quietly trying to calm him down, "this is Matt, and he's my best friend from my old city, his family has decided to move here."
Mello's face was beginning to soften until Matt decided to pop in, "so Near," Matt said circling Mello, "How did you find yourself such a sexy friend."
I sighed and lifted my hand to cover my face, "he's my boyfriend Matt."
Matt's eyes sparkled and a ridiculous smile spread across his face, "my little Near is all grown up now," he fake wiped a tear from under his eye and rested his head on Mello's shoulder, "they grow up so fast."
Mello's face went for unwelcoming to disgust in a matter of seconds, "N-Near get him off me!"
Matt took his head of Mello's shoulder and crossed his arms, "fine, I never liked you anyways."
Mello, obviously taking great offense to that gasped and took a step backwards, "how dare you say that, you don't like me you don't like the hair, you crossed the line buddy."
Before Mello could tie Matt to a board and get his chainsaw out I decided that getting involved might just actually be the best idea, "Mello," Mello's head turned towards me in a 'hurry-up-I-have-someone-to-kill-here' type of expression, "killing Matt will not get us anywhere but in a jail cell so please stop banging his head against the side of my house…"
Mello hmph'd and let go of Matt's head causing Matt to stagger to my porch steps, "oh yeah Near, he's a keeper."
AN: So Matt has finally entered the story DUH DUH DUNN! I actually wasn't going to add him but Matt's like my 3rd-ish favourite DN character and he's fun to write. But yeah, I'm not exactly the type to write author notes so that's about it. Please Review! Near and I would highly appreciate it… actually I don't think Near would care but let's just pretend. THANK YOU Buh-Bye. :D
