"So… what took so long for you to get here, huh?" Mello asked, his arms crossed, in the middle of his room.

"Uh…" Matt walked further into the room and shut the door behind him. I don't think Mello'll be too thrilled if I told him I hung out with Near for a few minutes instead of coming here first… "I was still sleeping. You know me."

"Sleeping huh? You're lying huh!?"

Matt growled, "What the hell Mello!? You get pissed off one time by some kid and now your being a bitch about it!" Even though it is the truth…

Mello sighed, "Sorry…"

"…Fine. It's alright. Now are you ready to go?"

"Hm? Go where?" Mello asked dumbfounded.

"To get your assignment dummy! For class. You're supposed to go to Roger's office to pick it up."

Mello stared upward as if thinking, "I don't really remember that one…"

"Well I'm telling you now so come on!"

"Alright! Alright! Sheesh!" Matt grabbed the blond's hand and started towards the door. They both stepped out and Matt led the way towards the stairs. "'Ya know," Matt started, "You're seriously slow, dude!"

"It's not like I'm so eager to get my homework. I should be able to take as much time as I want."

And that is exactly why you were surpassed! Of course the red-head didn't say that out loud. He didn't want to deal with the boy's temper or fowl language. The two boys traveled down the stairs and once they made it to the bottom they retained normal speed. He sighed. Damn I feel like a freakin' baby-sitter… It was always so empty in this area of the downstairs where Roger's room was. No one really cared to visit him often besides to complain which didn't really happen at this orphanage. Most of the kids were usually upstairs where they're rooms are. Only one kid was down this way. Kiel: a spiky-haired blond kid with glasses. He usually came over here to read since this is the quietest place in the orphanage.

Matt kept his eyes on the boy until he was no longer able to look in his direction. The boys open the huge, wooden door that led to the offices and special guest rooms. "Matt? Hey Matt?" The gamer paused and looked back at Mello. The blond smiled, "I bet you haven't noticed you've been holding my hand this whole time have you?" Matt looked down to see that indeed their hands were still together. He turned red and started to pull his hand away until Mello gripped it tighter, grabbing on with his other hand also. "I don't mind. I like it this way." He chuckled, putting his face a little closer to Matt's, "It's so cute how you get embarrassed by the littlest things."

Mello leaned in to kiss him, but Matt backed away, "Whoa! We're in a hallway! Control yourself! Someone… might see…" He blushed.

"Humph. Fine! But when we get back to the rooms," Mello smirked, "you're all mine."

Matt sighed and opened the door to Roger's office, "Just get in there and get your assignment." Mello walked into the room, and Matt followed, closing the door behind them.

"Aw, Mello. You've finally come back. Are you done, sulking."

"I wasn't sulking! I was just thinking… for a long time…"

"Were you thinking before or after you cried yourself to sleep?" Matt laughed.

"You shut up! I wasn't crying and you know it!"

"Whatever you say…" He smiled.

"Anyway," Roger grunted, "I want you to do a creative project."

"Creative project?"

"Like building a model, such and such. Due on Monday."

"Wha-!? That's in 3 days! How the hell am I supposed to finish it in time all by myself!?"

Roger chuckled, "I never said you're working alone. You have a partner."

"Partner?" Mello pointed to the red-head beside him, "Ya mean Matt?"

"No. It's Near." As if on cue the albino walked into the room. He sat in the chair closest to the door and brought one leg to his chest. "You two will be working together. It'll be a good way for you two to get along."

"What!? No way in hell am I going to work with him!"

Matt looked back to see that Near's expression never changed, "I don't mind." Near replied.

"Well I do! We won't get anything done if we're together! We'll just end up fighting!"

"Try your best Mello. You've only met him once. That can't determine that you'll fight during this project."

Mello couldn't argue with that. He let his shoulders relax and the boy sighed, giving up, "Fine…"

Roger smiled, "Good. I'll extend it an extra day. You two can start tomorrow and you'll have 3 days to finish."

Mello didn't answer. He was scowling, his arms crossed like he was a little kid. Matt answered for him, "He'll do it." The red head started pushing the blond towards the door, "Come-on-damn it Mello! Move your ass! We can leave now!" He opened the door and while they walked out Mello glared at the boy while Matt just took a quick glance.

"Man!!" Mello groaned, taking a seat on his bed, "Why do I have to work with that-that punk!?"

"Aw, come on Mello! It's only 3 days long. It'll go by fast."

"3 days… You're right." He stood up, grabbed the red head and pulled him down on the bed with him. "That means… I won't really get to see you for 3 days…"

"It'll go by quickly."

"Hm… You know I'll be thinking of you right?"

"Lame." Matt sighed, "But… I'm sure I will too. Of course, my thoughts may not be as perverted as yours."

Mello laughed as he sat up and hovered over Matt, "Hehe, I'm sure that's true." They kissed, they're lips locking in a sweet, passionate kiss. Who would have thought that this may be their last kiss for a while…

Chapter 7 is finished. Sorry it took so long. ' School is really a handful right now since there's about 13 more days of school left. Whoo-hoo! Review please! I wanna know what you guys think! Sorry this chapter doesn't have a lot in it. Anyway, I'll make sure to write at least 2 or 3 chapters over the weekend. But for now, sayonara!
