Chapter 4 : What is it, Mello?

I walked to the living room and I realised something. My home is so fucking messy. What should I start with? Boxers on the televisions? Chip packages on the sofa? Consoles on the coffee table? The vase that had fallen down? Dishes? Trash? Floor? Windows? This is not good. I took a deep breath and put all of my scattered clothes inside the washing machine and turn it on. While waiting for the clothes to be cleaned, I threw the trash that had been sitting for at least three days on my home and wiped all the windows clean.

What a hardwork. I never really take care of my home. All I need is a place to live, no matter how dirty it is. It took at least three hours before I actually cleaned my home sweet home. Straight after that, the front bell rang. Oh yay, just in time. Mello climbed my trousers and clothes to rest on my shoulders. Ah damn, he starts licking my neck.

"Dammit, Mello, stop." I shivered.

Mello purred softly and stopped. I opened the front door to see Stripes, Ryuuzaki and Light were there. All of their eyes fixed to my sweet cat. Ryuuzaki stopped sucking his thumb,

"She's cute." As Light said that, Mello scracthed his face. "Ow! What's her problem?" He hissed in anger.

"Mello is a male." I sighed. "A pretty male. OUCH! Don't scratch me!"

"How are you, Mello?" Stripes walked forward and pat my cat, he purred, not a cute purr but, it sounds a little bit angry. Stripes didn't notice it and he smiled. "Matt, got any new game?"

"You know better." I laughed and took them to my room. I opened the door and noticed something. I haven't clean my room up.

"Wow Matt, a war happening here?" Light asked.

"I-It's just..." I blushed. Dammit, I'll blame Mello for this. "Mello and I had a... fight." I lied.

"I see." Stripes said, "Wanna play cards?"

"Sure." Ryuuzaki answered.

"Strip poker?" I grinned.

"That'll be fun." Stripes chuckled. "Each time you lose, please take on of your clothing off. And Matt, don't wear your stupid vest, it's not fair."

"Aaaw!" I pouted but sit with them anyway.

I started with shuffle the card and distribute them to the four players playing. To start with, Ryuuzaki chose a combo.

"3,4,5,6,7 Straight."

"As if I'll let you." Light's eyes brighten up. "6,7,8,9,10 Straight."

"Whoops, 7,8,9,10, Jack Straight." Stripes laughed.

"I'm sorry, guys." I put down my set of cards. "Heart Flush."

"Aaah! You should stop being awesome at poker, Matt!" Stripes added.

"Not enough." L said, maintaning his serious expression. "Spade flush."

"Pass." Light sighed, so did Stripes.

"HA! FULL HOUSE!" I smacked five cards down.

"Pass." L glanced at me.

"My turn then." I looked through my cards. "Pair." Everyone passed, I threw the last card on my hand. "I won! Now I'll chose someone to remove his clothing..." This is embarassing. "Stripes because your name rhymes with strip."

"Ha ha, that's funny. You always pick on me" He grunted but, because it's the rule, he has to. Suddenly, I don't know why, I imagined Mello plays strip poker with me and losing continously. He'll take off his clothes and... Mmh! Wait, what am I thinking? Anyway, Stripes remove his black-neon stripes patterned shirt. On the next turn, L won, he got Light to take his clothes off. We keep on playing until...

"Light-kun, please." Ryuuzaki sucked his thumb as he commanded Light to took his last piece of clothing off.

"Ryuuzaki, don't make me do this! Get someone else!"

"But, I want you."

"W-what?" Light blushed.

"I can help you." He stood up and walked toward Light.

"N-NO!" He screamed in horror. Stripes, Mello and I locked our mouths and stepped outside the room. Stripes still had his jeans on and I had my boxers on. We can hear Light was still screaming inside.

"Leaving them is the best option." I walked to the couch and heard the bell rang. "Stripes, get whoever it is on the door."

"Okay master." He said, sarcastically. He opened the front door. "Matt, it's Mr Ethan."

"OH SHIT!" I looked around to find a jeans but, no luck. Mr Ethan was shocked but, he kept his expression cool, more or less. "H-hi, Sir. We were playing this strip poker and... Yeah." He smiled warmly.

"No worries."

"Uh, Mello... This is Mr Ethan, err, Mello?" I looked around and found Mello behind the couch, trembling. "Why are you shaking?" I lift him up.

"Aren't you cute?" He lowered his head down and stroke Mello's hair. Weird enough, Mello tried to attack him. "Whoa, whoa."

"Mello, it's okay. He's not a bad guy." I patted him. Mello hissed and stared at me. "A-anything wrong?"

"Maybe he's not used to me, that's all." Mr Ethan laughed. "Can you lend him for a day? I always wanted to research on this type of cat."

"Lend him?" I looked at Mello, he did not look too happy. "I'm sorry but..."

"I won't harm him, I promise."

"Sir, sorry but, I'm afraid I can't..." I'm still wondering what happened with Mello all of sudden. "I'll go and get a drink for you." I put Mello down and went away. I poured orange juice and went back to see Mr Ethan was holding Mello, Mello was trying to scratch him but failed.

"I'm sorry, sir, he's not like this, usually." I put the glass of juice on the table. Mello jumped to my lap and purred, he looks scared.

"GO AWAY!" Light bursted out my room, still having his boxer on.

"Wait, Light-kun! This is part of a rule! Open your boxer!" Ryuuzaki went after him. "You're not playing fair!"

"You're the one who is not fair! You picked on me a lot!"

"It's because I can't pick Matt or Stripes, they were way too innocent!"

"Ryuuzaki, please. There are no innocent kids playing strip poker."

"They are exception, then."

"Does not like losing, huh?" Light stopped.

"No." Ryuuzaki was about to pull Light's boxer off but, Light punched him. I walked quickly toward them and pushed them inside the bathroom and smiled nervously.

"Never mind them." I chuckled.

"So, you sure you won't lend me Mello?" He asked.

"Yeah, sorry."

"I see." He stood up. "Sorry for disturbing you." He then walked away. Mello jumped to me and held me thigh tightly.

Something's really wrong.
