Crying could be heard from inside Mello's room. The twelve year old blonde was curled up in the fetal position, sobbing. He had his blanket pulled over him, so he couldn't be seen at all.
A certain red head walked into his best friend's room. "Mells, what's wrong?" he asked, sitting on the edge of Mello's bed.
"Nothing." Mello replied, sniffling.
"Yeah, and I'm the tooth fairy..." Matt sighed.
Mello chuckled slightly.
"C'mon Mells, what's wrong? Come out from under the blanket..." Matt said.
Mello removed the blanket from around him, looking at Matt. His blonde hair was in pigtails, he had make-up on, and was wearing a black skirt and tank top. There were tear stains on his cheeks.
"Mello, what happened?" Matt asked, he didn't laugh. He looked a little upset or mad.
Mello looked away. "Near said that if I didn't dress up and let Morgan put make up on me..." he sniffled. "He would tell Roger that I've been sneaking chocolate out of the snack pantry after everyone went to bed... He even took a picture..."
Matt sighed and hugged his best friend. "Go get cleaned up and change. I'll take care of this." He stood and put his goggles over his eyes, turning and leaving Mello's room.
Mello sniffled slightly and stood, walking to the bathroom.
Matt sighed, "Near!" he called, looking for the white-haired ten year old.
"Yes, Matt?" Near asked, coming out from seemingly nowhere, he quickly hid something behind his back.
"What's that?" Matt asked, nodding toward the thing behind his back. The eleven year old wasn't very happy at all.
"N-nothing..." Near mumbled.
"Give it here, now," Matt said sternly.
Near shook his head.
"Near, give me the picture," Matt glared. "Or I'll show everyone the picture of you making out with Megatron."
Near's eyes got wide and quickly handed the picture to Matt, walking hurriedly over to his corner to play with his toys.
Matt smirked and looked at the picture, shaking his head. He turned to walk back to Mello's room.
Mello was sitting on his bed, nibbling at a bar of chocolate. He looked up as Matt came into the room.
"Here Mells, he has nothing on you now," Matt grinned, handing the picture to Mello.
Mello smiled, "Thanks Matty..." he said, taking the picture and hiding it. "What did you do to get him to hand it over?"
"I have my ways Mells, I have my ways..." Matt smirked.
