Recap-"I wish I could eat food." Mello said sitting across from me at the table while I ate.
"When you're alive, I'll buy you some chocolate. Near said you like chocolate." I said eating my food.
"Thanks, for this and well trying to bring us back to life." Mello said giving me a small smile.
"It's really no problem. Besides, I kind of wanted to anyways." I said looking down at my food.
Warning: time-skip coming up!
The next six months flew by, and now it was the beginning of June. Matt and I continued to share video game secrets. He became my protective older brother; I mean really protective. Mello and I continued to talk occasionally. Sometimes, we sit and watch a movie and laugh at the stupidity of others. Around a month ago, we started to act like friends, even. I was surprised when he started asking me about everything I liked and disliked. I was told he was a cold, feeling-less, mean jerk. Well, that's what Halle said, but she says that about most men.
"Favorite book?" Mello asked me as we were watching some mindless televised programming.
"The Outsiders."
"Favorite color?"
"Silver."
"Favorite type of music?"
"Classical."
"Marsh, how can you listen to that crap?"
"It's beautiful, plus I can play classical music, so therefore I like it," I said gesturing to the piano in the corner.
"You play piano?"
"And the cello, violin, and saxophone. My mom wanted me to go off and be a world famous musician and composer."
"Instead, you became a detective."
"Yeah, she wasn't really happy about it. We don't really talk other than the occasional Christmas card."
"Well, at least you have parents. I was dumped at an orphanage." Mello said looking down. I was surprised, Near and Halle had said Mello keep everything bottled up and never spoke about his past. Hell, Matt even said it too.
"I can I ask you a question, Mello?" I asked hoping I would get an answer to his behavior towards me.
"Sure, ask away."
"Why are you-"
"Damnit!" Matt yelled walking through the wall and interrupting our special moment. "How do I win this battle?"
"Hand me the DS, Matt." I said. I remember this battle. It was one of the Elite Five battles. The old lady with all the ghosts, yeah that battle. I pressed some buttons quickly.
"Okay, now you have one-hit kills for the rest of the battle."
"Cool, thanks, Marsh. So what are you guys watching?" Matt asked sitting right between Mello and me.
"Nothing." We both replied. We looked at each other and quickly looked away.
"I'm going to go read the book again. Just to make sure I have everything down. So I don't mess it up when I try to bring you guys back to life." I said getting up.
"I'll come help you." Mello said following me out of the room.
We walked to my office, and now bedroom. Mello took the main room; Matt took the guestroom, leaving me with the office. I know, how rude of them!
"So what were you going to ask me?" Mello said sitting down on the spinny chair in front of my desk.
"It's nothing." I said sitting on my bed reading the book.
"Why won't you tell me?" Mello whined like a five year old.
"You don't need to know."
"But why?"
"Because I said so now leave it be, Mello!" I said acting as if I was reading, but really, I couldn't get a certain blond out of my head. When I looked up there was Mello all up in my face.
"Tell me what you going to ask me, now." Mello said moodily.
"Or else what?"
"Just tell me, damnit!" He yelled.
"I was going to ask why you were being so open with me!" I yelled back.
"Oh,"
"All I was told about you, was that you were a cold, felling-less, mean jerk!"
"I am not a cold, feeling-less, mean jerk!" He said.
"You are right now!"
"Well, excuse me!"
"You're excused!" I yelled walking out of the room.
Over the next couple of days, I proceeded to ignore Mello and sometimes Matt. I busied myself at Near's office doing mindless paperwork. I was just to out of it too function or work on any cases, it didn't help that everyone noticed.
"Marsh, are you okay? You seem really out of it?" Halle asked looking at me doubtfully.
"I'm fine."
"May be she's pregnant?" Gevanni whispered loudly. (That was an oxymoron) This got him a giant slap from a Halle and then me.
"I am not pregnant! I just have a lot to think about lately." Leave it to the Matsuda of the group to say that. Near and Andi, my brother, said Gevanni acted a lot like Matsuda at times. But what would I know? I didn't even know Matsuda.
"Okay, gee, no need to smack me."
"Gevanni, leave Marsh alone. It's five so you are all dismissed." Near said. I was thankful for that. He was always like a little brother to me; he was caring and nice. Whenever something was wrong, he comforted me. It was amazing that girls weren't draping themselves around him.
'Note to self find Near a girlfriend' I thought.
As soon as everyone left, Near asked me what's wrong.
"I don't know."
"Yes, you do, Marsh."
"Okay, so I do, but I don't want to talk about it."
"It has to do with Mello doesn't it?"
"NO!!" I yelled, my face heating up, thinking back to a certain moment stuck in my head.
Flashback to May 6, 2012 (one month ago)
"What's wrong, Mello?" I asked. He looked really sad.
"I just want next year to come now." He said sadly.
"Why?"
"So I can kiss you." He whispered almost too quietly for me to hear.
"What was that, I didn't hear you?" I asked to reassure myself this was real.
"Nothing, I just to eat chocolate again." He said sheepishly while laughing and scratching the back of his neck.
"Well, when you come back, I'll back for you whenever and buy you lots of chocolate." I said with a bright smile that hid the sadness that he didn't feel the same way as I did.
End of Flashback
My gaze fell just thinking about the moment.
"You're in love with Mello aren't you?" Near asked with amusement lacing every word.
"What? Me, no, of course not." I said trying to hid the fact from Near.
"You do and you know it." He said.
Chapter four done!
Does Mello like you too? All questions will be answered in a while ha ha
