I know, I'm sorry. I haven't updated in a while. But it's here now! The next chapter! It's short... Read and review! Glad your still sticking with it!
Mello spent the night looking through the old dressers. Some just contained dust and mice droppings but a few held some clothes and the odd book.
He was currently sitting and reading a book about the history of poetry and it was mostly about Shakespeare.
"How can a book be about the history of poetry if over half of it talks about Shakespeare's success and his life? Stupid authors." Mello scowled but continued reading anyways until the small lamp beside him on the floor suddenly shut off.
Mello tensed up. The only light was now the small white line from the tiny window near the roof.
"Is it really already morning?" Mello had thought he'd only been there for a few hours and not the whole night. "I should probably go down so Matt doesn't report me missing to Roger…" He picked himself up and dusted his pants off. His hair was still damp and sticking to his neck. He felt utterly nasty.
Mello was about to take a step towards the exit but his foot caught on a crack in the floor and sent him tumbling.
"I'm going to need another shower now!" He glared at the offending crack before getting up again and heading towards the kitchens. There was always chocolate there and Mello needed it.
While he was walking numerous others glanced at him and shuffled out of the way. It was nothing out of the norm until he overheard a few girls.
"Are the fighting?"
"That would be great! Matt deserves so much better…"
"He was looking for him thought…"
"Maybe he wants to apologize?"
When Mello stopped in front of them it took a moment for them to realise that he was there.
"Umm… What?" The freckled red head asked without fear. The three girls behind her were trying to make themselves invisible.
"Oh! Nothing." Mello turned and stalked away. He hadn't done anything irrational or violent and that itself was out of the norm.
"So he's looking for me?" Mello smiled at the thought. "Maybe he does have feelings for me…" He still didn't feel up to seeing Matt again though. The image of Matt taking his clothes after giving Mello a shower was still fresh and would most likely cause Mello to do something that he'd regret.
He gorged himself when he got to the kitchen and filled his pockets with chocolate to take with him. He decided to head to the library. Even though they weren't supposed to eat in the library, Mello had convinced the librarian that without his chocolate he would start eating brown books (it had been one hell of a prank that Matt and him had pulled off years ago).
He chuckled at the memory of him attempting to eat the encyclopaedia because it "looked like chocolate".
The library wasn't busy at all. There were a few boys reading at a table and someone in the arm chair by the girl's novels.
He sighed and went over to the history section of the library. He pulled out the largest of the books and settled down in a navy blue armchair and started to read.
He stood up and stretched two hours into reading and noticed that the person in the other armchair was still there. He couldn't see who it was so he allowed curiosity to take over. Not many people sit for hours reading in this kind of light.
He made his way towards them. He had no intention of being social so he changed directions kept a safe distance away. The person sighed.
"They sound familiar…" He then saw the red hair and goggles on their head. "Matt!" He was almost happy enough to want to talk to him. "Wasn't he trying to find me? But he was here before me! That bastard wasn't looking for me in the first place." Mello returned to his chair grumbling and gnawed on his chocolate again. "So much for thinking he might feel the same way…"
The history book was not distracting him so he slammed it shut and didn't bother to put it away.
The only thing he really wanted to do at the moment was sleep even though it was only noon. He hadn't slept all night for fear of spiders crawling in his ears. He cast one more glare and Matt and started back to their room.
Matt yawned and stretched as he made himself a bowl of oatmeal. He knew he was forgetting something but he couldn't remember what it was. He knew a few seconds ago when he had just got into the kitchen but then he got distracted when he saw the box of cinnamon apple oatmeal.
No one else was in the kitchen and dinner would be in two hours. It wasn't like he went to dinner that often anyways. He would just bring a noodle cup of something up to his room later if he was hungry.
He could probably find some new games online that he hadn't played and beat yet.
Matt glanced around for something else to eat with his oatmeal. Yanking open all the cupboards and drawers didn't really help. It was all healthy food. He didn't feel like healthy food. He already had the oatmeal (granted it's full of sugar…). What else did he need? There was loads of chocolate but only the extremely brave would dare take it. Mello would throw a fit…
"Mello!" Matt smacked his forehead. "I was supposed to find him!" He sighed as the microwave dinged, signalling that his oatmeal was done.
He quickly gobbled the still steaming oatmeal, burning his mouth in the process.
"I wasted most of the day reading when I should have been looking for Mello or trying to find out who he's in love with."
He wasn't sure where he should look so he decided to check their room again. If anything Mello might be eating chocolate, reading or maybe even redoing an assignment.
So Matt was quite surprised to find Mello fully dressed and passed out on top of the covers on his bed.
Matt smirked and rolled his eyes at him. Mello shifted causing his shirt to ride up and expose his toned stomach.
"Mello. You're going to get a cold sleeping like that." He reached over to pull his shirt back down but couldn't help first running his fingers over the exposed stomach. Mello flinched. "Right. Mello's ticklish… Not that he will admit it." Matt pulled the shirt back down and moved away. If Mello were to wake up with Matt touching him it would just be awkward.
Matt sat with his laptop on his bed and started his search for some games that he hadn't already beat.
Short and not much happens in this chapter. Please review! Hopefully I will update soon. Reviews are love!
