Disclaimer; I don't own DEATH NOTE!

Mello was pleased that Matt would be coming home today. So would a lot of the other children, but the blonde didn't really care about them at all.

He awoke early and climbed over Near, (a bit too roughly for the albino's liking) and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower and then he got dressed.

When Mello returned back to their bedroom he frowned at the white-haired boy who was still asleep in their king-sized bed they shared, (along with Matt.)

"Near? Aren't you coming to the Hospital to get Matt?" The blonde asked as he began to shake Near.

The albino groaned and hit his rival over the head with his teddy bear; which was surprisingly hard.

"Watari said that they'd be brought here, on a bus. We don't have to lift a finger." The genius mumbled as he brought the blanket over his head.

"Well what time will that be?" Mello asked, sounding disappointed and upset.

"Midday, I should imagine."

"And they expect me to wait that long?"

Near nodded before disappearing under the blanket.

Mello frowned; he looked over at the clock that hung over their bedroom door.

'06:00am'

He'd have to wait another six hours before he could see his red-head friend again. Sighing, the blonde left the room and wondered down the halls of the Orphanage. There was no one around; it was Saturday morning after all. No exams.

Mello made his way to the large kitchen that had recently been re-decorated after the dramatic accident. The blonde made his way to the large white fridge, he opened it and screamed when a frozen, red-eyed, teen fell out.

"BB?! What the hell?" Mello yelled at the shivering jam addict.

"BB…. Found jam…And door… Shut…" BB tried to reply through chattering teeth.

Mello shook his head and looked back into the fridge, every jar of jam had been opened and licked clean.

"How long were you in there for?" The blonde asked.

BB held up both hands, showing four fingers and two thumbs. "Six… Hours…" The teen said, weakly.

Mello tilted his head and began to climb into the fridge.

"What are you doing?!" L's voice suddenly emerged from the kitchen door.

"BB was stuck in here for six hours, and I have to wait six hours until Matt comes home. I thought maybe this is how I could pass the time." Mello replied, casually.

L walked over in his hunched pose and dragged the blonde out of the cold, "Any normal person would be dead by now." He said in annoyance.

"But BB survived." The blonde whined as he was put down on the kitchen counter.

"BB isn't any normal person." L mumbled as he shut the door to the fridge.

Mello rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest; he sat down on the counter and looked away from the teen that was helping BB up off of the floor.

"BB want jam." BB managed to finally say, after L had warmed him up by draping warm blankets over his shoulders and back.

L sighed before replying, "You ate all the jam. We'll have to go out and buy some more."

"Yay! BB gets to go out with L!" BB yelled happily.

Mello's eyes suddenly brightened as he heard the two teens talk, "Can I come?" He asked.

The two teens stared at the blonde in disbelief.

"You want to come? With us?" L asked slowly, making sure he understood what the chocoholic was asking.

"Yes. I need to pass the time as much as I can." Mello replied as he hopped off of the counter and walked over to the identical teens.

"I think Watari has banned you from ever setting foot inside a shop ever again." L said, calmly.

Mello sighed and nodded, "You're probably right." He muttered as he left the kitchen and slowly made his way to the back yard.

No one was out there, everything was calm. The air was crispy cold, it was a week into November and every orphan was talking about snow and sledding, even though a snowflake hadn't fallen in over two weeks.

Mello slowly walked over to the tyre that hung in the large oak tree in the corner of the yard. He climbed into it and brought his knees up to his chest, he missed his friend a lot more than he expected.

The blonde had fallen asleep in the tyre, and he was awoken by one of the orphans after a few hours.

"Hey, Mello?" The orphan whined.

Mello opened one of his blue eyes and glanced up at the over-weight kid who had awoken him, "What?" The blonde snapped.

The chubby kid took a step back at the tone of the sleepy boy.

"I just thought you may want to know that.. Uh…" The kid stumbled over his words.

"Spit it out. I haven't got all day." Mello said, cruelly.

"Ugh… The Hospital rang to say that Matt and the others will be arriving a bit earlier than expected." The orphan finally said.

Mello's eyes widened with joy, "Really? What time is it?" He asked as he climbed out of the tyre.

"Ugh.. I think its half past eleven." The over-weight boy said nervously.

"Thanks, fatty." Mello muttered as he walked away from the tree.

He pushed passed the other orphans that had come outside to play, and made his way over to the gate where he had first met Matt.

The blonde waited impatiently for the bus to arrive. And after what felt like forever, a large vehicle parked itself outside of the Wammy house.

Children began climbing out of the bus, some were still bruised and others had a few cuts, but nothing serious.

But Mello couldn't see Matt anywhere. The bus' doors closed after the children had climbed out, but the vehicle didn't drive away.

By now Watari had come outside to greet the children home, and once the old man had opened the large gates, Mello bolted through them and ran towards the bus.

"Mello! You can't leave the Wammy house without an adult!" The old man yelled.

Mello ignored him and ran up to the bus' doors, they opened after a while and the blonde climbed into the vehicle. He gave a small sigh of relief when he heard the familiar sounds of Matt's DS beeping and buzzing from the back of the bus.

The blonde walked to the back of the bus and took a seat beside the red-head. Matt hadn't seemed to register that it was Mello beside him and he continued to play his game.

After a long silence between the two boys, Mello finally spoke;

"You've been playing that for a long time. Is it fun?"

Matt froze and stopped playing his game, which caused his character to die. The red-head looked beside him; he gave a small smile when he saw his friend.

Mello smiled back and held out a hand to his friend, "Are you coming inside or not?"
