Hello! Thanks for reviewing/adding to favourites **
Matt was staring into the space and feeling quite blue.
He was playing videogames, but couldn't concentrate at all.
Two days had passed since he moved, but his friendship with Mello still hadn't progressed.
Well, he wanted it to be a friendship, even though the blonde didn't seem to care less.
He decided he had to do something about it and took his phone out the jeans' pocket, while pausing the game with the other hand.
He dialed his best friend's number, hoping that she could help him.
"Hi, Misa speaking!" she answered with her usual, hyper voice "Matt, is that yoooou?"
Misa surely wasn't the smartest girl in the world, but she had always been sensitive. On top of that, she was able to become friend with almost anyone, no kidding.
"Hi Misa, yea, it's me."
"What's up, sweetie?" she asked before he could even talk "You seem down."
That's Misa for you: she can understand that something is wrong just by hearing your voice.
Maybe that was the reason because she was Matt's best friend. He wasn't good at putting feeling into words, and not that good at making friends either.
Usually, he didn't care about looking for new friends, but he made a promise with Misa, since they weren't going to go to the same university – Wammy's entrance test was quite difficult.
He promised not to hold back and to try talking with people he found interesting.
And from the moment he first saw Mello, he immediately considered him deeply interesting.
"I can never hide anything from you." he smiled "You see, I've got a problem with my new housemate..."
"What?" Misa screamed, interrupting him "Is he bullying you? I'll beat him up!"
"No, wait...he isn't bullying me or anything..." he sighed "But he's so cold and I don't understand how to become friends with him."
Misa stayed silent for a moment, calming down. She was probably smiling, hearing that Matt was keeping his promise.
"Oh! So you're asking for advice! Isn't it wonderful? I can help you! Tell me everything!"
Matt heard her boyfriend's voice calling her.
"I'm coming, honey, but I have to finish talking to Matt before."
She sure was determined.
"Um, are you sure? If you have to go..."
"Nope! My darling can wait. Now, back to your housemate."
Matt took a deep breath.
"His name is Mello. He's kind, he helped me moving my boxes, offered me chocolate when he saw I was sad...but when I tried asking him about his past, or the reasons he always looks depressed...but he told me that was none of my business." he bit his lip
"My, wasn't that rude of him? To tell my cute Matt...!" she took a deep breath too "Ok, he's cold, but he also seems a good guy. You should try doing something for him, so he can open up...um, let me think...what about cooking? Your delicious curry rice, for example!"
Matt thought that it could have been a good idea, cooking was a way of showing feelings that didn't need words. But maybe buying chocolate for him would have been even better.
"Right, this should do..." he mumbled
"And then maybe he'll want to tell you the reasons he's feeling down. You have to show him that you want to be his friend and to support him! He couldn't ask for more, you're such a wonderful person! Everything will be alright, trust Misa!"
He heard her boyfriend's voice again.
"Yea, thanks Misa, you were a big help."
She squealed, as she always did when someone praised her.
"I'm so happy! Now I've really got to go, but remember you can call me any time!"
"Sure, thanks again."
Matt heard her shouting something to her boyfriend before hanging up, and he chuckled.
She was the same old Misa, trying her best to help him and cheer him up. He could have been a little stupid to think that she was going to abandon him just because she moved in with her boyfriend.
Her advice was really useful, too.
He took his wallet from the desk, his earplugs to listen to some music and was off to the supermarket.
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
We are united, indivisible.
He was listening to his favourite band.
It was his first time listening to that song in particular and he thought that it was very suitable for his mood. Just like friendship in Misa's point of view: being together to be stronger.
'Does friendship really makes you stronger?' he was wondering in front of the sweet's section at the supermarket 'And what type of chocolate does Mello prefer? Mmm, not white chocolate obviously...then maybe dark chocolate...yes, much more like him... '
He took ten bars and payed for them.
He realized he had even paused the music to concentrate only on choosing chocolate. He shook his head, pressing the "play" button on his phone.
Wasn't it pretty weird for him to be this concerned about someone else?
Matt couldn't quite understand it himself. People for him had always been less important than his videogames, unless they proved him otherwise.
Just like Misa did when they were kids, beating up some boys that were mocking them because they both liked to dance. Well, they were mocking him, to be exact, but she stood up for him. They ended up being beaten by those guys anyway, but it didn't really matter.
Their mothers scolded them for good, but from then on they became best friends.
That's why he always helped her with homework and hacked her exs' facebook profile to make fools out of them.
But Mello...they hardly spoke, and yet he felt drawn to him...
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone in this
And I will always be with you
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
You're not alone, my love
We are united, indivisible
You're not alone
Together we're unstoppable, unbeatable
Matt turned to stone for a moment. That song was meant to be for a lover?
The weirdest of thoughts came to his mind: maybe he found Mello interesting in that way?
He shook his head, feeling embarrassed for having this kind of ideas even crossing his brain.
Besides, he had never found someone interesting enough to make him fall in love before, so he didn't really know how it felt.
Not to mention that Mello was a guy.
Matt shook his head again and opened the house's door.
Then he nearly dropped the bag with the chocolate bars, hearing a crashing sound coming from Mello's room. It wasn't as loud as his videogames box's fall had been, but still...
He ran to his housemate's room and crashed it opened.
"What happened?" he screamed
He saw Mello, standing and observing a broken cellphone.
He didn't look surprised though, so he must have been the one to throw it against the wall.
Modern phones don't break just by falling on the floor.
Mello turned around to look at Matt. His blue eyes were murderous to say the least.
But he calmed down almost instantly, so the dangerous look wasn't meant for his housemate.
"Sorry, I was being noisy." he simply stated "It was just some bad news."
Then he closed the door, leaving Matt dumbfounded, with the bag still clutched in his hand.
Mello is really difficult to handle :O anyway, a cliffhanger for you! ^^
I decided to make Misa Matt's best friends because I didn't exactly like her in the manga, but I found the other women/girls even worse XD I hope you enjoyed ^^
The song this time is "Indivisible", by Cruxshadows as usually
