Haven't updated in soooooo long. Here's the next chapter! Hope you like it!
Mello awoke around three in the morning and looked over at Matt who was sleeping in his bed. He would have to do something about that.
He yawned, stretched and walked over to his own bed. He grabbed the blankets and pulled them back revealing a shirtless Matt. Mello felt his face grow hot with a blush. He shook his head and rolled him off the bed.
"Ahh!" Matt said when he hit the floor. "What the hell happened?" He looked around wildly and then up at Mello who's face was still slightly pink. Matt thought it was just in anger.
"My bed." Mello glared down at his best friend. Matt picked himself off the floor and moved lazily towards his own bed that Mello had messed up.
"Mmm." Matt got comfortable in his own bed and breathed in the thick scent of chocolate and strawberries. Why Mello used strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner, escaped Matt.
Mello sighed and climbed into his own bed. It smelled of cigarettes and mint toothpaste, like Matt.
Mello grabbed a book from the bedside table and switched on the lamp. Matt mumbled something and pulled the blankets over his head.
The book was something L had given him for Christmas last year. He'd read it over a dozen times. It was on many previous cases great detectives had solved. Mello guessed it was L who had solved many of them under an alias.
He glanced at Matt, well the lump of blankets, throughout the next two hours. His breathing was unsteady and uneven. He probably wasn't asleep and was most likely playing some video game.
"I am so bored. There's no chocolate left and I've read this book too many times. I could always shove Matt out of bed again… He wouldn't be very happy about that. Matt isn't a morning person… Gah! What should I do?" Mello looked up at the ceiling and laid the open book on his stomach. He concentrated on Matt's breathing. It had finally slowed and the top of Matt's head was sticking out from beneath the covers.
Mello touched the top of his head. His hair was always soft and light. No matter what it looked like, Mello's hair was actually relatively thick. Many people make fun of Mello's obsession with his hair. It never ends well. Mello almost always got the best of them. The worst was when Mello took scissors to a girl's hair when he was eight. He got detention for a few months and was forbidden from eating chocolate during that time. Matt would sneak chocolate for him. Matt was a good friends.
What should he do today? They couldn't bug Near or else he might tell Roger about the snow incident. That would not be good. It had never really crossed Mello's mind that Matt might actually and literally be in love with him. Sure he'd had his fantasies but he couldn't truly believe it. Matt just wasn't gay. It couldn't be possible. Mello, sure it could be possible. He obsesses over his hair doesn't he?
Mello closed his eyes and imagined what it might be like to have Matt love him back. What would Matt be like then? Would he be different of the same as before? How would he treat Mello then? Would their friendship be ruined?
Mello had imagined many scenario's of what might happen if he confessed to Matt. Many of them involved steamy sex but others involved Matt never speaking to Mello again. Wouldn't he find it just a bit creepy if the person he shared a room with and was his best friend, were in love with him?
Mello mentally shuddered. He didn't want Matt hating him.
"Fuck you Matt." Mello spat at him.
"You can do that later Mello." Mello's eyes widened at that comment. "You should probably go back to what you were doing before I came in." Mello just looked at Matt.
"You fucker. That was not what I fucking meant you fucking ass hole!" Mello said and punched his best friend in the shoulder.
"Um. Ow. That hurt Mels." Matt said fake pouting.
Why did Matt tease him so? It wasn't as if Mello hadn't thought about fucking Matt, he just thought (though he'd never admit) that it would be pretty damn sexy to be fucked by Matt, to be dominated by Matt (not that Mello is weak or anything)…
The alarm on the clock would go off at 6am. Half an hour to go. Then they would have to get ready and go to their classes at 8am.
Classes sucked. Near was always number one and Mello was stuck being second. Matt was less interested in being number one but he was third. Contrary to the popular belief going around, Matt was a lot smarter than most. Mello always wondered how he was so smart and yet played video games for two thirds of the day.
Mello snuggled back down into his blankets and closed his eyes. He was quite tired even though he had woken up early. He did fall asleep again.
!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The alrm was going off and Matt opened one eye. He glanced at Mello who was peacefully sleeping with the blankets kicked off as usual. He got up and turned the alarm off. Mello looked so innocent when he was sleeping. It was almost a shame to wake him, almost. Matt would let him sleep. It was too good a chance to pass up, watching Mello sleep…
!
"Mello!" Matt rolled Mello onto the floor.
"Batard!" Mello grabed Matt's ankle and Matt fell to the ground as well.
There was an awkward silence and then they both burst out laughing.
"Come on Mello. We have to get ready for class." Mello looked at the clock. It was 7am. Matt must've gotten up and turned the alarm off to let Mello sleep.
Matt was already showered and dressed and by the time Mello was ready, they would have to skip breakfast in order to get to class on time.
!
"Today's classes were really boring. Don't you agree Matt?" Mello asked his gaming friend.
"It was all revision from last week's lesson. We aren't stupid. We already know and understand everything." Matt nodded and rolled his eyes as a few girls started giggling and blushing when they passed.
"Let's go outside again. There's still snow on the ground. We can build a fort or something. No attacking Near this time." Mello smirked evily.
"Right. No forts and we're attacking Mello." Matt was busy playing his DS.
"No! You fucking idiot!" Mello grabbed the DS and switched it off. "No attacking Near. We are building a fort!"
"Right." Matt smiled and grabbed his DS back and shoved it in his pocket.
