Here's the next chapter! I know... I don't update fast enough. I'm sorry! Please enjoy!
"Mello's in love with someone! No! That can't happen!" Matt knew that he couldn't keep Mello cooped up if he wanted to go and chase after someone but he couldn't help but feel possessive. "If only I could tell him… Mello is mine! If I can figure out who it is he likes then I can beat the crap out of him… I wonder if that's possible for me… That guy is probably really ripped and scary. Mello seems like the kind of person who likes that kind of thing." Mello was imagining one of those wrestlers who could easily snap his neck if they wanted. He had no chance against that. "Damn it Mello. I want you so bad but you love someone else and it isn't even a girl!" Matt thought for a moment and pulled new cloths on.
He had no idea why Mello had disappeared from the bathroom. If he had stayed for only a moment more, he might have told him that he was gay as well…
"Near's probably the only one smart eno…" Matt stood there slightly shocked at himself. "Ask Near for help? I've gone mad!" He shook his head and headed back out into their room.
The more he thought about it, the more it started to make sense. Asking Near for help might be a good idea.
He sat at the desk and turned on his laptop. He wanted… no needed to get him mind off of all this. His games would help.
He pressed buttons rapidly and killed numerous enemies. They continued to swarm his character in hopes of defeating him. Online games were so boring… but better than computer players.
He played the rest of the night away and well into the morning.
"What the hell!" His computer shut off and he slammed his fists into the desk. It was only after his small temper tantrum of pulling his hair and letting a string of colourful curses fly from his mouth, that he realised that the lights were out. He looked at the clock and glared. Stupid digital clock.
"Shit!" He got up and pulled open the blinds that were usually closed all day. Snow was whirling outside and he couldn't see anything. "Good thing Mello isn't out there…" His heart skipped a beat. "If I hadn't gone out to get him…" He started breathing hard. Just the thought of Mello frozen out in the snow… He would most likely die because no one would even notice but him. Matt wouldn't be able to go outside during a storm… "don't think like that!" He mentally scolded himself. "Mello isn't outside. He is right…" He thought for a moment and scrunched his eyebrows together in thought. "Where is Mello? I better go find him… Just for my peace of mind. Oh god, now I'm worrying about him and getting paranoid."
He collected himself, grabbed his watch, checked the time (9 in the morning), and marched out the door. There were numerous children chatting very loud about the power outage. The muttering continued as he entered the front room.
"Have you seen Mello?" Matt asked a girl with long red hair and flawless skin.
"Why would I? He's always with you." She flipped her hair and walked away followed by her three minions.
He snorted at her snooty attitude and marched off to the library. If Mello wasn't there then maybe Near was and he might be able (if he could muster up the nerve) to ask him if he knew who Mello was in love with.
He glanced around the large room and Mello was no where in sight… and neither was Near.
"There goes that idea." He muttered to himself. He decided to find a book to read (Oh my gosh, I know! It's a miracle!) since his computer wasn't working and he'd beat all of his games on DS.
"Maybe if I read some romance book that all the girls read then I'll be able to understand… my feelings better." Matt's idea wasn't the smartest but he had nothing else to go by.
He picked up some random book that he'd seen almost all the girls reading… Twilight. It didn't look like a very interesting book. It involved vampires… that sparkle. He pulled a face like he was eating a lemon. Vampires shouldn't sparkle.
He sat in one of the over stuffed burgundy arm chairs by the large windows and cracked open the book.
He read, and read, and read until the small amount of light from the windows dwindled away and he finally finished the book. He closed it and stretched his now stiff back and neck. He checked his watch. It was only three and it was already too dark to read comfortably.
The book had only made him more confused. Why be with someone dead? Those emotions in the book barely applied to him. He wasn't a clumsy girl. He wasn't overly emotional. The only thing he had in common with the girl was the fact that he wanted someone he couldn't have. Mello was almost like a vampire; beautiful, strong, and terrifying.
He wasn't really in the mood for anything but he hadn't eaten in awhile… all day actually.
Mello wandered the halls somewhat unsure why he had wanted to tell Matt that he loved him. "It's not like Matt loves me back or anything but in that moment… it seemed like he might, maybe love me back." Mello glared at a few boys and they cowered. It was still pitch black and Mello's hair was still dripping wet but he was in clean dry clothes. Wandering the halls during midnight was not exactly encouraged by Roger. Hopefully he wasn't caught because he would have to explain… He'd be sent back to his room and have to face Matt again.
"What can I do till morning…" Mello thought to himself and continued towards the back rooms where most of the storage was. He'd discovered it only a few weeks ago. The attic was a really nice place to go and escape everything. It was filled with bed frames and old mattresses and dressers. There were also boxes filled with old books and toys that no one ever used. Mello had a stash of chocolate up there as well now.
It wasn't very clean and Mello had a few blankets strewn across the floor to sit on.
He continued walking till he found the locked door. It was easy enough to open though when you had Mello's intelligence. The stairs were rickety and a few times he wondered if they were even safe to walk on.
He tripped on the top step and landed on a cushion sending dust into the air. He coughed and waved his hand to help clear it away.
He'd considered taking Matt up there but it was the only place he could hide from absolutely everyone. Sometimes it was just easier to run from everyone.
"I can't just sit there and eat the night away. I can't sleep up there, it's probably got spiders…" No, Mello is not afraid of spiders but he wasn't exactly fond of having them crawl on his when he was asleep. Especially since it was possible for then to crawl into your ears and lay eggs there.
Hope you liked it! Don't you love spiders? Laying eggs in your ears... LOL! It's true. If you don't beleive me then look it up -_-. Anyways, please review you thought and suggestions! Reviews will make Matt realise Mello's in love with him faster!
