[[Author's note: I started this story about 3 years ago, and just found it again. I figured I should try finishing it or at least adding on a bit. Forgive me if it sounds a little bit different from before, it has been three years.]]

Mello's eyes opened and closed slowly a few times, as his vision began to unblur and shapes formed before his eyes. He saw a white ceiling above him, fairly plain and ordinary (as you would expect a dormitory ceiling to be)…–blink- … a brown empty bookcase to his left, next to the door that he was presumably carried through by.. Ian? That was his name, wasn't it?… -blink- WOAH! Mello rose up abruptly in shock, knocking heads with a red haired boy that he had found staring down at him.

Ouch.. what the hell?

"Ow!" Exclaimed the boy, rubbing his forehead and squinting from the collision. He sighed and then gave a relaxed look to his face; and smiled warmly at Mello.

"Sorry… wasn't expecting you to get so scared by that haha" Matt shrugged and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"uhh.." Mello was having a hard time thinking of anything to say. Shit, Why couldn't he think of anything? He looked up at Matt with a dazed expression and wide eyes, his hands placed behind him to hold his-self up as he sat on the floor, legs stretched out infront of him. He looked down and noticed that Matt was leaning over him, a little too close for Mello's comfort. Mello's eyes widened as he scrambled frantically to the wall behind him, "What the hell?"

Matt looked confused at the yellow-haired boy and then realized what had made him feel so uncomfortable.

"Ohh, ehh.. sorry haha" Matt said, standing up and adjusting his shirt. He walked to his right a few steps and sat lazily on his bed.

"Soo…" He looked around the room awkwardly, then at Mello.

"Are you against talking to me since the scene in the cafeteria?" He smirked. "Or did you lose some brain cells when you passed out in the main office? Must not have many left now haha, no wonder you can't form a proper conversation with me." He smiled and laughed at Mello, tauntingly.

"Whaat..? What the hell did you just say kid?" Mello rose up while shouting at Matt, who still had a small smile creeping up his face.

Mello retaliated in frustration, "What the fuck are you smiling about asshole? And how did you know about that happening - are you a stalker or something? I can see you followed me to my room too, you creep, what the hell?"

Matt's smile dropped and he looked slightly offended by these words, though trying to keep a calm face he replied bitterly, "What the hell are you on about, idiot? I'm your roommate, this is my room too. How about thinking before screaming, you could land your ass outside this window if you keep saying shit like that."

Mello stroke a quick look of major displeasure for a moment before his eyes softened and he looked to the floor. He spoke in attempt of an apology, but had trouble over his temper, "um… well, sorry about that… I guess. " He looked around the room for something to distract him from looking into the Gamer's eyes.

Matt shifted his weight on the bed and looked a little sorry for spiking at his new acquaintance like that.. Wow I'm a dumbass, why did I have to say that. He just woke up, who am I to act like such a prick.. He thought to himself.

Then he rose his gaze to the awkward boy in the corner and looked around, edging for something to say.. "H-Hey... how about I go get us some coffee or somethin', new kid? All we have in here right now is a sink, I'll have to pick us up some supplies later... For now you just get set up though... I'll go get the drinks." Matt spoke, now caringly as he walked over to the door and pulled on the black handle.

Mello looked at the boy curiously in silence. Then as the gamer was about to leave, he looked back into the room and smiled. "Hey punk, what is your name anyways? I need something to call you, hehe" He grinned for a moment as he questioned the chocoholic.

"uh, I'm Mello." The boy replied, a little nervous to the response he would get.

"Great, my name's Matt. I'll see you when I get back I guess.. Mello." He smiled before turning away and then walked off down the brown hallway, leaving Mello alone to think.

What was that all about…? Is there something amusing about my name? Ugh, what a dick. Mello rubbed his hand through his hair and plopped down on the bed Matt had been sitting on, then sighed and laid his head in his hands. His hands clenched some of his short yellow hair in annoyance. Ugh.. why is he so damn confusing?
