Behind white walls of dice 9
"We're one big happy family…a big happy dysfunctional family but a family none the less"
Reject awoke to find herself in strange surroundings. Her normal attire had been changed and she was now clothed in thick, cotton sleepwear and tucked into a warm bed with clean and crisp white sheets.
Reject could not believe how comfortable it was and she let out a deeply relaxed yawn before snuggling down into the soft interior of the warm blankets. After a while she heard the door to the room open but she didn't stir.
Shuffled footsteps came across the hardwood floor, but still Reject remained buried in the blankets, and she continued savoring the soft and warm feeling even when the footsteps stopped at the edge of the bed.
"Mello, get up, we've got class in 5 minutes"
"?"
"Mmmm... Yeah I'm coming Matt…just give me a sec to wake up"
Reject felt shuffling right next to her but she didn't move an inch not because she too comfortable, but because she didn't know if they knew she was there. A discontented grunt came from beside the bed.
"Damn it Mello get out of bed and let's go! We're gonna be late!"
Reject a hand come out of nowhere and shake her quite roughly. Now at this point any sane person would have announced their presents at that point but Reject however, did nothing. She simply sat back and waited to see how long it would take the redhead to realize that he was trying to shake awake the wrong person.
"Mmmmm no…sleep goooood" the blond murmured hiding under the covers next to the green haired teen.
"C'mon Mello!" Matt shouted grabbing a hold of the sheet.
"C'mon man I don't want to get detention agai-" Matt yanked the blanket off only to find Reject lying there smirking tiredly.
"OK OK! I'M UP-whoa!...morning Re-Re" Mello said shyly before stepping over Reject and out of bed.
"Morning guys, I was wondering how long it would take for you to notice I was here" Reject said giving a smug grin.
"Sorry Re-Re, I didn't mean to wake you…did you sleep well?" Matt asked scratching back of his head.
"Yup…that's probably been the best sleep I've had since…well, a lot time"
"Since B right?"
Reject suddenly went silent at the very mention of her lover's name, and she looked away from the boys for a moment.
"Oh, sorry Re-Re, I didn't mean it like that" Mello said apologetically putting a hand on Reject's shoulder in a comforting way.
"Its ok, if you want I'll explain it later" Reject replied sitting up on the edge of the bed and stretching herself out and looking over at the clock.
"ummm you guys do realize its only 6:30" Reject said looking up at the boys with a mildly confused look .
"Oh, it's the advanced classes that usually run before breakfast, Matt made sign up for Trigonometry" Mello answered while throwing a shirt on. Reject was about to stand only to have both Matt and Mello push her down again.
"Oof! Hey!"
"Hey! You're staying in bed today"
"Oh C'mon you guys I feel fine" Reject said getting to her feet defiantly.
"See nothing to worry abou-whoa!"
And when Reject got up she nearly collapsed but luckily the boys were there to grab her before she lost balance.
"Nothing to worry about, eh?" Mello bantered teasingly laying Reject back down in bed and tucking her in. Reject folded her arm looking up at the boys with a pout.
"Now, Now Reject, Gill said to make sure you got plenty of rest, now why don't you go back to sleep, ok, we'll be back at breakfast to make sure you get something to eat" Matt said giving her a warm smile and ruffling her hair before following Mello out of the room.
Reject sighed disapprovingly and rolled over facing the wall. She really didn't want to sleep, she wanted to get back to cleaning the house but for some reason or other her body objected against this and she felt her eyes become heavy again and soon she slipped back into slumber.
A lumbering albino slumped through the hallways of Wammy's House. He had heard a rumor that the young janitor that had gone missing was not only found but had been forced to take the next few days off for health reasons.
To be perfectly honest, he didn't if she was taking time off for health reasons or not, he was, more or less, glad that Reject was alright seeing as how she had not shown her face in an entire month.
He blamed himself and his actions for Reject's disappearance and now I'll health. Since that night where he had broken her, he himself hadn't been able to sleep nor eat, too ashamed of his behavior.
He finally stopped at the door to one of the dorm rooms. The room obviously belonged to Matt and Mello but he had heard a rumor that Reject was staying with them for the mean time until she was fit to work again.
He took a deep breath and opened the door. The room was fairly bright, the sun poured in from the window nearly blinded the albino as he entered the room. There on one of the beds, her face half covered by blankets, the young green haired misfit lay sound asleep.
The boy inched himself closer to her bed carefully so as to not wake her. He reached down to pull the blanket down so it was not covering her face. To him she really was beautiful, her face was pale but it glowed like that of the moon.
Her lips were small but they were also innocent with the way they were always pursed together, but aside from her smooth pale skin and sweet young lip the one thing that stood out the most on her was her green hair.
It did seem rather strange that he would be allured to something so unnatural looking. It wasn't a green that you would be disgusted by. No, it was a very relaxing color to look at, very soft too, not the greasy and dirty he was expecting when he first felt it.
The silver headed boy leaned over the bed and reaching down ran a finger gently down the side of her face. A sleepy purr came from the young girl and the albino gave a small pleased smile.
"Hmmmm…Beyond?" She moaned quietly and the boy pulled his hand away. A sudden pain hit him in the chest as if something had hit him. He shook his head dismissing the feeling and looked up at the clock.
It was almost 9:30 and he knew it wouldn't be a smart idea to be caught in Mello's room so he turned to leave sparing one last glance at the bedridden girl before finally walking out.
"I am sorry…but why do you still love him"
