Mello awoke in the middle of the night, a nightmare of fire and debris vanished from his mind. He looked around at the strange apartment. "Oh..." he muttered, remembering what happened. He tried to stretch; his burns pricked him with sharp pain. He cursed as he melted into the couch.
Anna awoke from a pleasant dream, blinking up at the plaster ceiling. She looked at the alarm clock beside her bed, 8:47 AM. She rolled out of her covers and opened her window; the faint morning sun gleamed in. Her stomach growled. Breakfast time.
She brushed her hair out with her fingertips as she walked to the hallway. She glanced at Mello, who was sound asleep on the couch still, and smiled. She walked into the kitchen, the light tile cold against her feet, and opened the cupboard.
She sat down on the chair by the TV, and turned on the news. Slightly surprised that the news this morning would be about the explosion. It said the cause of the bomb was a male who went by the alias "Mello." The bombing killed most members of the mafia he was in, but there was some rumor that Kira had killed some of the members already, considering the fact that they were dead before the bombing.
"Mello... I suggest you don't go out anytime soon" She spoke, knowing he had been awake.
"They don't have pictures, they don't know my name, I'm fine" He yawned.
"Yeah... I guess. But, you have a nasty burn, and people aren't as stupid as they seem to be nowadays"
"Are they?"
She glanced back at him; he had been staring up at the ceiling. "Maybe, they might be" She spoke.
He shifted on the couch, wincing against the pain of his scar. "Damn" He cursed.
"I see it hurts," Anna spoke, turning back to the TV, "You want me to replace the bandages?"
"Nah... I'll be fine" he replied, taking off the shirt. "I would love some new clothes though"
Anna thought about going out shopping today. "Alright" She agreed.
Two hours later.
"Why do I have to be tied to the couch again?" Mello asked, annoyed.
Anna smiled, heading out the door. "Because, I don't trust you not to leave or rent porn on my TV, bye Mello!"
"Hey!! At LEAST give me something to eat! Hey! Get back here dammit!" Mello yelled at the closed door.
He sighed. There go two boredom ideas. Crap. Now... for the handcuffs.
At the men's department store.
Anna stood in the department store, looking over the men's clothes. She bought several black and black leather clothes. Of course, if she was going to take care of a very gorgeous man, she was going to make him look sexy.
She placed the clothes on the counter and got out her credit card. She noticed the cashier looking up at her, one eyebrow raised. "Who ya buyin' for?" she asked, her hand reaching for the shiny leather pants.
Anna blinked up to see a bored expression, slightly interested by the clothes. Anna smiled, and then said "Mind your own business"
The cashier smirked, and then continued scanning the clothes. The total came out to be over five hundred dollars. Anna's mouth nearly dropped.
She reluctantly handed over her credit card. She then glanced out the window to see a candy store.
Back at Anna's apartment.
Mello tried to occupy himself by staring up at the blank ceiling. He barely could move, couldn't watch television, or just grab something to eat. Damn.
Then he looked at the bright side. He probably would be dead right now if he wasn't found by Anna. His corpse would be found in a puddle of blood in some unknown street. Yeah. This was the bright side?
The door creaked open, Anna walked in, about five paper bags in her arms. "You haven't moved?" she spoke.
"It's not like I can" He glared at her.
Anna placed the bags on the dinning room table, and then went through them. Candy. Clothes. More clothes. A very maxed out credit card. And it was only noon.
