Matt must have passed out sometime because next thing Matt knew there was someone knocking on his door, unnecessarily loudly if you asked him. Stumbling from his place on the couch he glanced at the clock on the back wall, noting that it was 2:00 PM. He didn't bother to check his appearance in the small mirror by the door, it was probably just the mailman anyways, he opened the door, yawning into the back of his hand as he did so, hair mused as if he'd just woken up, which he had.

"its about time you answered the door, lazyass" a male voice berated him from only a few inches away making the redhead jump back slightly and rub his eyes furiously, attempting to shoo away the sleepiness. Trying to get a better look at the owner of the voice that he was being insulted by, also unnecessary.

Blinking rapidly to clear his vision Matt was finally able to take in the figure before him… oh hell no.

"I-it's…. Y-you're…. wha-?" he tried and failed to form a sentence, what the fudge was the hooker from the grocery store doing at his door?

"Are you just gonna stand there mumbling like an idiot or are you actually going to let me in?" the (male) prostitute demanded.

This successfully brought Matt back to reality "what? Why would I let you in?" he asked frowning, he hadn't been this confused since that one stupid puzzle in Professor Layton and the Curious Village, that game was addicting as all get out too.

"Because I'm you're new roomie, unless someone else has already answered you're ad" the blond stated, forcing Matt away from his video game oriented thoughts.

For a minute the redhead thought about lying and saying someone had answered already, he wasn't too keen on the idea of sharing a two room apartment with a male prostitute, but, he needed the extra help with the rent. Sighing softly to himself Matt decided he'd just have to suck it up, this guy didn't seem to bad anyways. So with that he stepped aside shaking his head slowly.

"No, no one has answered, other than you, I was just a little confused….. Sorry" he added sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head and further messing up his already tangled red locks.

The still unnamed hooker nodded, blond hair swishing at his slight shoulders before stepping past Matt and into the apartment, surveying the place like he already owned it. Matt noticed that the other male only had a few bags with him, at least he didn't bring a crapload of stuff since one of the apartments two closets was already full of Matt's stuff, mostly video games.

"Um, so…. I'm Matt" the gamer offered his hand to the blond rather awkwardly, deciding to focus on a patch of the wall just to the left of his new roommate.

A slender hand took his in a firm grip "nice to meet you Matt, I'm Mello" the voice belonging to the prosti- ahem- Mello, purred, making Matt shiver slightly, he fretted internally about whether the blond had noticed as he retracted his hand.

"n-nice to meet you t-too, Mello" he said, damn his habit of stuttering when people made him flustered.

Mello flashed him a Cheshire like grin and taking a mental note of the slip before turning once again to look around "so where am I staying?" he asked grabbing one of the duffle bags he'd brought.

Matt relaxed a little now that the attention was away from him and leaned back against the wall "you can have the bedroom, I usually end up falling asleep on the couch anyways so that back room is all yours, oh and the bathroom is second door on the left" he recited, and though he would never admit it, Matt had actually practiced those lines.

Mello nodded, appearing very pleased with the fact that he would get the only real bed in the house. The blond smiled again and grabbed his other bag "thanks cutie" he stated, winking at Matt before disappearing down the hall and into the bedroom.

Matt gaped, oh hell no, he was not getting hit on by his male prostitute roommate….. Was he? No, no no no no, not gonna go there. Ever. Shaking his head quickly and attempting to push all thoughts of the blond out of his mind he shuffled his way to the kitchen to make himself some instant ramen.

Seven minutes later and armed with a steaming bowl of instant soup, Matt plopped down on the couch happily, intent on playing his newest game for the next six hours. As he was starting up the PS3 he heard socked feet padding down the hallway, signaling the approach of the infamous Mello. Shifting a little he fought the urge to look over his shoulder to glance at the blond that he could practically feel hovering near the kitchen door. Watching him intently, like prey, about to pounce-

DING DONG!

The sounds of the annoyingly loud doorbell caused Matt to jump almost two feet in the air, and, subsequently spill steaming soup onto his lap.

"Ow damnit!" he hissed, while Mello could be heard snickering in the back ground.

Would you like me to get that?" said blond asked sweetly, heading towards the door and even though his back was to Matt now the redhead could still sense the grin spread across the deceivingly angelic face of the other male.

Matt stood gingerly, trusting his new roommate to handle whoever was at the door as he hobbled towards the kitchen, intent on discarding the bowl of evilness as he had now dubbed it. The thought crossed his mind that he probably appeared to have peed himself, but that wasn't the most pending matter at this point. He was in need of a different pair of pants at the moment and after throwing away his half eaten ramen he went to the bedroom and promptly changed. Also making a mental note to take a trip to the Laundromat soon, his dirty clothes pile was becoming a monster and his new roommate would definitely not appreciate that. And it would be creepy if he did.

After changing and glancing briefly at the bathroom mirror he walked back out to the living room, coming face to face with a very pissed looking blond.

"Umm, is everything okay, Mello?" he asked slowly, taking an involuntary step back.

"You didn't say in your ad that the landlord of this place is a total bi-"

"Whoa there" Matt cut him off smoothly (and internally applauding himself) "Near has always been a great landlord to me" he said frowning a little, the small albino had seemed fairly nice on the few occasions he and Matt had met.

"Like hell he is! He looked at me and then called me a prostitute and apologized for 'interrupting my and Matt's time' I mean what the hell! Some nerve he has, I'm so gonna beat his sorry ass next time I see him! That sheep is dead!" Mello ranted but there was only one thing on matt's mind at this point.

"You're not a prostitute?"

Ooooh Mattie, you just can't keep you're mouth shut can you?
