Disclaimer: I woke up this morning and still didn't own Death Note.

I was lying face down on my bed trying not to cry. 99.99 %. That's what my score was. Near's score was 100%. I could barely think about it. If he had beat me by more, it would have been easier to handle. Easier to identify my mistakes and figure out how to fix them. But .01%? How could you even grade that anyway? I had gotten in a huge screaming match with the teacher when she handed out the results. Then she threated to give me detention for the next week if I didn't apologize. I had considered it for a minute before I apologized. Having detention would get me out of having to be Matt's boyfriend for the most part, but when I looked at him he took his goggles off and gave me that puppy dog look. Maybe for the next week I should make him keep the goggles on at all times. I don't want to even think about all the things he is probably going to try to talk me into. Where was he anyway? He didn't follow me back to our room after classes were over for the day. And he had promised that he wouldn't play that disgusting game until next week was over. I still wanted to destroy it, but there wasn't much point. Matt could easily make another. Just then the door opened and Matt walked in.

"Look Mello." he said. "I made you a cake. And I brought you some chocolate cake to go with it."

I sat up to look. Matt was holding a glass of chocolate milk in one hand and a cake pan in the other. The cake had "Mello is my number one"written in red icing on it. I groaned.

"Matt did anyone else see what you wrote on the cake?"

"No, whenever anyone came close I told them the cake was for you and you would kill them if they touched it. Do you like it?"

"Let me try it and I'll let you know."

I sat with my back against the wall and Matt handed me the cake and fork. He didn't bring a plate so I took a bite right from the pan. It was pretty good.

"This is good Matt. I didn't know that you could bake."

"Well its just from the box so it wasn't very hard." Then he sat down next to me so that our arms and legs were touching.

"Do you feel any better Mello?"

I wanted to tell Matt yes. I knew that he was really trying to make me happy. But I couldn't. Chocolate cake can't make me forget what a failure I am. When I didn't say anything Matt put his head on my shoulder.

"Mello I know we agreed on Sunday and it's only Friday, but what if I started being your boyfriend right now?"

Instantly I was completely pissed off. He knows how upset I am and he brings this up? Was the cake just a ruse to soften me up? I knocked his head off my shoulder and shoved the cake in his lap. I wanted to pour the chocolate milk over his head, but this was my bed we were sitting on.

"Get the hell out of here." I snarled at him

He looked confused and said "Mello what's wrong?"

"I'm having a very serious problem and I'll you can think about is getting in my pants! That's what wrong! I really need a friend right now and I'll get is pervert pretending to be my friend. I've always thought that Near was a loser for not having any friends but now I think that that might be a good idea."

"Mello you don't need a friend right now. You need someone to love you. There is more to being in a relationship then just sex. I wish you would let me show you that."

I calmed down a little. I hadn't really thought about the fact that when Matt said he loved me he might really care. I was too distracted by what I had seen him doing.

"If I said you could be my boyfriend right now what would you do?"

"I would give you a back rub until you fell asleep. You haven't slept the past two nights and you look exhausted."

That actually sounded really nice. I had stayed up studying for the past two nights and my back ached from being hunched over a book so much. I didn't realize that Matt was paying so much attention to me.

"OK."

"OK what?" he said looking at me uncertainly.

"OK you can be my boyfriend starting right now." I glanced at the clock. It was 4:45. "It's 4:45 right now so you have until 4:45 next Friday."

Matt grinned and jumped up to hug me. "You won't regret this Mello. I promise to make you happy. And to make you feel loved."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. That sounded so cheesy. Where did he come up with this stuff? I had to admit it did distract me. It's hard to focus on test scores when you best friend suddenly turned boyfriend says he's going to make you feel loved.

"Do you want some more cake before your massage?"

"No I ate a third already. I'll eat the rest after dinner."

"All right then take off your shirt and lie down on the bed."

"What!"

"Well I can't give you a massage with your shirt on can I?"

"Oh, right" The way he said that completely freaked me out. I took off my shirt (trying not to notice him staring) and laid down on the bed. He sat down next to me and began rubbing my shoulders. It felt wonderful. All of the tension was flowing out of me. His hands began moving lower and I tensed a little. What if he tried something? I really wasn't ready for that.

"Why did you get all tense Mello? Am I not doing it right?"

"No it feels great Matt. It was nothing."

Matt continued rubbing and I could feel myself falling asleep. "Matt wake me up for dinner, all right?"

"Sure thing Mello." is the last thing I remember before falling asleep.

Matt woke me up for dinner by saying "Wake up sleeping beauty or I'll have to give you a kiss."

I immediately opened my eyes. "Don't you dare."

"Your no fun."

"If I'm no fun then you should dump me."

"Never."

I stood up and headed for the door. "Come on I'm hungry."

"Wait your hair is all messed up." Matt reached his hand out and began patting down me hair. When he was done his hand slid on to my cheek and he stroked it with his thumb.

"Don't get mad at me for saying this Mello, but you really cute. It's hard to look at you and not want to cuddle."

I blushed. His eyes looked so serious when he said that. Then he leaned closer while still looking straight into my eyes. I relized what he was going to do and pulled back. He looked hurt and put his goggles on. Then he walked out the door without saying anything. I followed after him silently. I shouldn't have pulled away. One little kiss wouldn't kill me, and it's not like I could avoid it for the whole week. I should have gotten it over with. I had never kissed anyone before so I would probably be terrible. Matt wouldn't like it and this whole thing would be over with. After dinner I would kiss him. We would both hate it and problem solved.

Matt was still moping when we sat down with our food. I decided to try to cheer him up. "What do you want to do after dinner Matt? We could play one of your video games."

He glanced up, surprised. I almost never play video games with him. "Well actually Mello I was thinking that I should show you the rest of that game I made. There is a lot more to it then the part you saw."

"There really is? I thought you just said that so I wouldn't be so mad at you."

"I never lie to you."

"You've been lying to me this whole time."

"No I wasn't. I always told you that I had been playing a game. I just didn't tell you which game."

Matt was right. I was being a little harder on him then he deserved. "You can show me after dinner."

Now Matt smiled and started eating as fast as he could. I started eating quicker too. I wasn't very eager to see Matt's game, but I didn't want him staring impatiently at me while I finished. As soon as I finished my last bite Matt grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the door.

"Hey we're not supposed to leave our dishes on the table! And let go of me!" I hissed at him. I didn't want people to see us holding hands and figure out that Matt and I were dating.

"I'll take care of the dishes and meet you in our room." he replied.

I walked out as he dashed back to where we had been sitting. I wasn't even half way to our room when he caught up with me. He took my hand again, but I decided to let him since everyone was still at dinner. No one would see us. When we got back to our room he immediately got his laptop out from underneath his bed. He leaned the pillows on his bed against the wall and sat down. I stood awkwardly next to his bed before sitting next to him. While the computer was starting up he snuggled as close to me as he could. He clicked an icon called "Mello and me" on the computer screen and the game loaded.

The first thing I saw was a large mansion. "'This is our house." Matt explained. "I'll give you the grand tour."

He zoomed in on the house and we could see inside. The front door led to a large living room with a staircase on the other side and several doors around it. "So this is our living room." he began. On the right side of the house is the kitchen, the dining room and a library. On the left is a workout room, an office and a bathroom. Upstairs there is another bathroom, a room for all my video games, a room for all your chocolate, our bedroom and an observatory. In the basement we have our own theater. In the back yard is swimming pool and a shooting range. We also have a huge garage."

Matt showed me each room as he named it, but skipped the bedroom. Suspicious I asked, "Where are our characters?"

Matt hesitated before answering "It's really early in the morning in the game, so they're still sleeping."

"Show me."

Matt moved the cursor to the bedroom where both of our characters were asleep on a giant bed. He clicked on his character, and it got up and got dressed. It had been naked, which meant that my character was probably naked too. He directed his character, which I nicknamed Little Matt in my head, to the kitchen to start cooking. Then he quickly clicked on my character to get up, and then went back to his before I could see anything.

"Was Little Mello naked too?"

"Little Mello?"

"I'm calling them Little Mello and Little Matt. Don't avoid the question."

"Yes."

Well at least he didn't lie to me. I watched as Little Matt brought food into the dining room. Little Mello came into the room and they both sat down at the table to eat.

"What do you want to have them do after breakfast?" Matt asked me.

"What are the options?"

"Pretty much anything you could want. They can race cars, hunt for ghosts, play sports, go swimming, shoot things, blow things up, go partying, get drunk and anything that isn't in there already I can probably add."

"What kind of things can we blow up?"

"I made a whole town for that. The entire thing can be turned into a smoking crater, and we can blow up everyone in it."

I watched Little Matt and Little Mello blow things up for a while. It was fun except for one strange thing. None of the people besides Little Matt and Mello had faces. They're heads were just blank.

"Matt why doesn't anyone have a face?"

"This world is just for me and you. We're the only people allowed live in it. No one else counts."

I was glad that Matt wasn't looking at me, because I was blushing. Matt must really miss me to make a world with only him and me in it. "Matt is this how you feel in real life too?"

He turned his head to look at me before answering. "Your the most important person in the world to me Mello. Nothing matters more to me than loving you. I want your approval more than I want L's. Even if he chose me as his successor I would refuse because I know how much that would hurt you."

I can't believe Matt just said that. Nothing had ever mattered more to me than L. I thought about how lame it had sounded to me when Matt told me he would make me feel happy and loved and how right now I understood exactly what he had been talking about. I wanted to make Matt feel the same way. I leaned my face as close as I could to his without them touching and closed my eyes. It only took him a few seconds to respond. I don't know why, but I had always thought that kissing a guy would feel rough, like kissing sandpaper. Matt's lips weren't anything like that. They were soft and fit perfectly against my own. I could feel his tongue asking to be let in. When I hesitated he bit my lip. I gasped and he slipped his tongue into my mouth. I didn't know anything could feel this good. One of his hands began gently rubbing my back and the other was tangled in my hair. I can feel myself getting hard. I didn't want Matt to notice. I didn't know a lot about what guys did together but it sounded painful. I didn't think that I would ever want to do it. If Matt notices how aroused I am he won't believe me. As if he could hear what I was thinking he stopped kissing me and looked concerned.

"Did I do something wrong? You stopped making those cute noises."

"I wasn't making any noises. You were the one making noises."

"Not as many as you."

I tried not to blush and failed. How come he isn't embarrassed? "I was just thinking that we shouldn't go any farther then kissing."

"Mello I really don't want to stop, but if you don't want to go any farther then kissing we should stop for tonight. I don't want to force you to do anything that you don't want to. If we keep going I might try."

So Matt couldn't control himself could he? I guess I am a good kisser. Well Matt might want to stop right now but I didn't. If I said that I wanted to kiss all night then that is what we are going to do. Who does he think he is anyway? I'm the one in charge here. That isn't going to change just because we started dating. Well it shouldn't be hard to convince him. I wrapped my arms around him, with my hands resting as low on his back as they could without touching his ass.

"Don't you want to kiss me Matt? I am I really that bad at it?" I looked as sad as I could while I said it, and then put my mouth next to his ear and whispered "Please kiss me Matt. I want you so bad."

I guess I wasn't as in control as I thought I was, because right after I said that he pinned me to the mattress and started grinding himself against me.

I can't believe I'm atcually getting reviews. Thank You!
