Heya guys. The fifth chapt. of this soon to have yaoi story.
Just to let ya'll know (in case you didn't.) Mello is now 10, Matt is now 8, and Near is 6 or 7. Yes I know, the ages are probably screwed up, but please bear it.
If you have any questions on the titles or anything else, please do. And also review!!
But don't say anything about the leash XD
I do not own Death Note!!
It was finally Friday! Which meant to the students at Wammys, less classes and getting to sleep in! This offer Mello took gratefully, as did Matt, considering that he stayed up until 2:37.
Mello started to wake up as he heard the boy across the room whimper slightly. His curiosity started to grow, wondering why in the world he would make those types of noises…and not getting his morning chocolate.
Getting out of his creaky bed, he started to walk to the bed, in which the redhead was sound asleep.
"Matt….hey Matt" The blond gently shook his friends shoulder. Another whimper, but no actual reply. He shook harder. "Matt! Hey, can you kindly get up? You're to young to sleep in so late. It's, like, 1:43." Matt tossed around slightly, and the covers started to come off him. Mello was getting pissed.
" HEY MATT! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THE GODDAMN BED!!"
With a startle, and a little yelp, the used to be sleeping boy fell off the bed, covers and all. He looked around the room, and then at his friend, and then to his elbow, witch was slightly cut from hitting the side of his bed.
"Owwie…" was the first thing to come from the redheads' lips as he gave a look at Mello. A look that Mello didn't get that often.
"Why did you do that, Mel..?" he hissed a little while wiping the cut with a tissue.
Mello started to feel bad about waking him up so abruptly, and that Matt got a cut from it. He really wanted to say sorry and kiss the mark, but he had a reputation. And not a gay one.
"Why did I do that? You wouldn't wake up, I wasn't able to have my morning chocolate available to me at the regular time, and you started to whimper, which, in my opinion, is a very annoying sound, especially when it wakes me up!" God Mello really needed to think about his words before he said them.
Matt gave a frown, got up to change into his usual too big, striped shirt and shorts, giving a reply of, "Well sorry Leona Helmsly, that you couldn't get the fuckin' chocolate yourself. You know how late I stayed u-" Matt stopped as soon as he realized what he was about to say, or actually was saying.
Mello gave a curious look and started to walk toward his friend. "No…I actually don't know how late you stayed up. How long did you stay up?"
Matt looked down at his feet and started to try and walk away, but his older friend quickly grabbed his arm, and forced him to stay in place.
"Mello bent down a bit to meet eye level with the gamer. "Matt," he stared into those emerald eyes with his own icy blue ones. "what did you do while I was asleep?"
After a few seconds without a reply, he put a firmer grip on the younger boys arm, and said firmly, "Matt. What did you do."
Matt couldn't tell his best friend that he vented to his rival Near about him. I mean that would just be fucking stupid. He had to think…
"Uh… I did go to sleep." That was a good start. "Yeah, its just that as I tried to go asleep, you snored." Mello gave a funny look at his friend. That was kinda weird to say to a best friend. And apparently his snoring never bugged Matt that much, because you don't just start snoring loudly like that. What a liar.
" Yeah, you started to snore really loud, and it was almost as if you were telling me to not go to sleep, so I didn't for a while. But then I ignored the demanding snores…" the look on Mellos' face was priceless, as he tried to think and hold back laughter at the same time.
"And then I went to sleep." Matt finished, with a tiny smile, trying to win Mello over with cuteness. That should do it…the lying boy thought. Mello did not buy it.
The chocolate addict let out a low chuckle, as he gave Matt an evil glare and topped it off with a, "You are such a bad liar. But cute face though." Shit.
"Sigh, Sooo you don't believe me?" asked Matt. It also sucked being friends with someone number two in line to be L.
"Not one bit. I do not snore." Mello said as-a-matter-afactly.
The other boy smirked to say, "Yes you do." As a frown appeared on the blonds' features, Matt had to add a. "But not loud." His friends face went back to normal, then another frown that told Matt that he still wanted the truth, which Matt had to tell him mostly because he was a terrible liar, and he wanted to go get breakfast.
"Okay, please don't get mad. And when I say don't get mad I mean to not yell, whack me, or any of that stuff you usually do." Mello was already pissed and what Matt was telling him made the blonds' attitude worse.
Matt decided to try to wrap it up before he ended up getting whacked for the wrong reason.
"Okay the point is, I didn't go to sleep after you did, I went to go talk to…" He didn't want to say Near. "…someone. Someone you don't really like that much."
Mello took time to think. There were a lot of people he hated. Roger, Linda, that man at the convenience store across the road that called him a cute little girl, that boy Gary who tried to cheat of him, Ne-
"Why did you talk to Near?" Mello gave a disgusted face. "Why the fuck would you talk to Near of all people? He's a freak."
Matt didn't know how to reply to that. He couldn't say that he wanted to vent to Near about Mello. Could he? No he could not.
But he had to.
"I sorta…well I had a lot of stuff to talk about and…" he paused to think about his choice of words. " and you were asleep n' all. I didn't wanna wake you or…anything."
Mello was getting no were asking questions to Matt. Like hell he would tell the truth. He decided it would be better to talk to Near…boy did that sound weird.
"Stop." The older boy held out his hand, and shook his head. "Just stop. It'd be better to talk to Near , your no help."
The redhead didn't talk until his friend said, "I'm gonna go get some breakfast…"
"Oka-" he suddenly stopped as he saw Mello run as fast as he could out the door and down the hall. Crap!! Matt thought.
"Near!!" The angry blond yelled. "NEAR!! Where the fuck are you!!" He looked to the side of him and then the other. Still no Near.
Mello was beyond pissed. "NEAR!!"
Near! NEAR!! Were the angry cries the albino heard. That could only mean one thing…
Mello already found out. Near was a little disappointed that he didn't get to tell Mello himself, but he remembered that Matt couldn't lie.
At least not well.
As he put a piece of dice to the almost done dice tower, he heard the loud footsteps he knew were looking for him, and he looked up to see his pissed of rival.
Before the younger boy was able to greet him the way he usually did, Mello got to the point.
"Why the hell did Matt talk to you, and what the fuck did he say?!" Near fought back the urge to give a smirk, and instead kept calm to say, "He needed some venting. Why, is he just a piece of meat to you?" Mello gave the pale boy a deadly glare. Near still was emotionless.
"He is a human being, and to talk to anyone he pleases. Be it Linda, Gary, or myself. You will just have to get over the fact you don't own him."
Mellos' face became beet red, and he wanted to punch the kid. But he couldn't. At least not yet.
"Near, I don't want to here one of your goddamn lectures, you didn't answer my question. Now what the hell did you talk about?"
Icy blue eyes stared into dull, grey orbs and then Near finally answered, "Well to put it bluntly, you and your attitude." He put another dice onto his 'masterpiece' and continued. "You are rambunctious, rude, violent among other things. Matt is your friend and what he told me was that you would yell, hit, and vent to him. And not the normal kind of vent."
Mello was taken back. Matt actually said those things about him? They were all true, but he could never picture Matt…his Matt actually hating him. Did he hate him? He had to, even Mello himself knew he was all those things Near just said.
"He also said you snore quite a bit…" Oh crap, that was true too! Matt hated Mello, he just knew it.
"You know Mello, I even think that as impulsive as you are, you deserve a good friend, or a partner in crime as others would say…" another dice. "But you keep this up, and I guarantee you, he will leave you for someone else." As he finished his tower, he gave a little smile and looked up at the blond.
"Besides, I think he is very gifted and I would be grateful if he would be my assistant. You know, for investigations, or he could be another Watari when I become L…" his smile grew a little more deviant. "Among other things…as well."
As he reached his boiling point, out of anger and nervousness, he swiftly kicked down the dice tower Near had been working on for about 25 minutes.
He looked down at the albino with pure hatred, and said with a growl "I may not own him, but he can still be mine." He turned away to leave, looked back and told Near, "You stay away from. You do anything that I don't want and you will end up with a hole in your head."
Then he left.
Matt sat at the huge table alone with two plates of eggs, bacon, and cold cereal, as he waited for his friend to come. He pulled out a chocolate bar from his pocket and put a smiley face sticker on it. This was supposed to be his morning chocolate, but every time Mello was sad or mad, he would give his friend 'smiley chocolate' to make him feel better, and go back to his wild self.
As the gamer fiddled with his eggs he noticed that Mello was approaching the table and looking right at him. Not good.
Okay, so this is end of chapter. I wish they were longer, but you can never tell…I need more reviews. Self esteem goes up to 10 if I get more reviews. (my self esteem now is –21. --)
