chapter 6
The four teens stood staring at the door of what was apparently their new home. Mello was the first to break the awkward silence. "so what now guys?" glancing at each of his friends looking for an answer. Noa looked at the envelopes in her grasp, they were each labeled with a name so she passed them out.
"I think this is our first months allowance and our key cards." she glanced at the other three before it changed to a stern look at Matt and Luka's excited grins. "Don't even think about it you two! we need to set up bank accounts and set aside some of it to start saving, some for food and clothes, and then you two can go buy toys. " Matt and luka pouted.
"Fine mum!" Luka mocked and Matt chuckled. Mello rolled his eyes at the two, silently agreeing with Noa's plan. Luka's face changed instantly when she looked at the two doors off the common room "I wanna pick my room first! come on Matty!" Mello and Noa watched the two run off like excited puppies, Noa smiling indulgently and Mello shaking his head in mild amusement... that is until they realized what Matt and Luka rooming together meant for them.
Mello reacted first "Shit! Matt Get Back Here!" but he was ignored. He growled loudly and moved to the common room to flop on to the couch with a huff, a scowl already painted on his face. The scowling blond heard a sigh and glanced up to see Noa staring at her feet with a look that just screamed kicked puppy and suddenly realized that with out meaning to, he'd hurt her...again; And just like always he had absolutely no clue how to fix the problem he'd accidentally created. "I- I guess its not that big of a deal... I mean if they can manage living together with out it being awkward, I don't see why we cant do it? Right?" he almost flinched at the speed that Noa's head snapped up. Her big blue eyes wide and hopeful. Her face split in to a happy grin and she grabbed Mello's arm and dragged him off to the unoccupied room.
"Yes!" Luka muttered with a fist pump as she watched Mello be dragged to his new room. She turned to Matt with a triumphant grin." well, this will either work out great or it'll totally blow up in our faces."
Matt grinned back and hugged her "Let's just hope it works Lulu."
A/N: yes Matt and Luka were being sneaky and trying to coax Noa and Mello into getting closer. but will it work?
The next morning Matt woke to the smell of cooking food, curious he moved across the room to wake up Luka. "Luka wake up!" he shook her gently earning a groan and a sleepy smack to his hands. Matt glared for a moment before grinning "ookay, but I think Noa's making breakfast..." that got her. Luka sleepily pulled herself in to a semi upright position before reaching out to Matt.
"up?" Matt rolled his eyes at Luka before lifting her and carrying her out of the room like a sleepy toddler. When they got to the kitchen Luka was slightly more awake, Matt sat in a chair at the table across from Mello, Luka comfortably resting in his lap.
"morning Mel, Noa, so where'd the food come from?" Mello nodded in a slightly groggy manner to the newly emerged pair,as Noa answered Matt's question.
"It was already here," she said as she flipped a pancake. "not a lot, mind you, but some basics... pancake mix, a carton of eggs, milk, some orange juice, a loaf of bread, and some sandwich meats and cheeses... we'll need to go grocery shopping today after the bank and we also need to go to the drug store. We need to stock up on some medical supplies and dont forget someone needs to be home around midday to wait for our stuff to arrive."
Matt looked momentarily suprised, Noa was a planing machine. And Luka was right, jokingly said or not Noa was very much like a mother. "what would we do with out you Noa?"
Noa looked at Matt over her shoulder "starve, die maybe?" she said this very seriously and everyone laughed.
Luka grinned when Noa put the enormous pile of pancakes on the table along with the juice (milk for Mello) and syrup."Mmmmh,Pancakes!" Luka nearly moaned as she shoved one in her mouth, Matt shook his head at her and made a plate for them and putting syrup in a small cup next to they're plate (he doesn't like syrup and Luka has the same unfortunate sugar addiction as L). Luka and Matt both began eating,moving around each other flawlessly, they had plate sharing down to an art. which didn't surprise there table mates in the least as they'd been doing it for years.
When they were all done Noa sent them all off to get dressed, seeing as she was the only one who was, Luka and Matt took turns in their bathroom to shower and dress. Luka had her hair in pony tail and was wearing baggy black cargo shorts, a purple cut-off tank top and flip-flops and Matt's jacket from the day before, Matt in dark jeans, a blue and black stripped shirt and converse. They left there room to meet with their friends in the common room. Mello was stretched comfortably out on the sofa in tight black jeans, a red t shirt and his Rosary, Noa in a pleated black skirt and a magenta tank top with Mello's legs across her lap. When they were all seated comfortably Noa told them the plan for the day.
"we need to go to the bank first, I called L while you all were getting dressed. He has an account set up for us at the bank but its frozen and we all have to be there to activate it, but I think after that we should split off in pairs to shop for school supplies and groceries, Mello and I will do groceries." she paused glancing at the blond for confirmation, he nodded. "That means you two are doing the School supplies. I'm writing you a list which you WILL be following. We have special classes on the side of the regular ones so some of the stuff needs to be bought at different stores."
A/N: Matt's taking computer programing and software/tech classes, Luka's taking sociology,psychology and criminology classes along with mixed martial arts with Mello, Noa is taking a basic medical course,and advanced chemistry classes, Mello is also taking language classes in just about every thing...the school is kinda like a hardcore prep academy so most of the classes are advanced and they carry a lot of courses that you'd normally only take in college.
"Alright" Luka groaned at the thought of one of Noa's lists.
"Mello and I will probably finish before you so we'll be home to meet with the movers. So don't rush through the shopping and make sure you get everything okay?" Matt and Luka nodded.
The bank took Forever. At least it felt that way to the small group of teenagers but finally they were done and left the bank happily with bank cards to their account and multiple safety precautions put into place. Shortly after that the group split as planned and went to shop. Matt looked at the list Noa had given him and sighed. "well, where to first Lulu?"
"I don't know? first aid? Then computer stuff and the translation books Mel's gonna need, then the basics, notebooks and such?" Luka rattled off boredly. Matt smiled at her and led the way to the first store.
Meanwhile
"Mello, you do realize we have to buy more than just chocolate... right?" Noa looked up from the case of chocolate in there basket to the blond next to her.
"YES! We also have to buy Luka's Lollipops." Mello answered with a smirk
Noa sighed and leaned against the basket "go get them and meet me in the bread isle."
"yes ma'am" Mello said with a grin and salute as Noa passed him to go down the bread isle.
Mello pushed open the door and put down his bags, holding the door open for Noa and the movers who had arrived right as they had gotten home.
"Just put them in there." Mello motioned the movers to the common room. "Come on Noa some of these are gonna go bad if we don't put them away." Noa nodded in agreement and Mello retrieved the bags he'd put down and walked to the kitchen with Noa trailing behind him.
Mello smirked as he watched Noa try to reach the top shelves in order to put the precariously stacked boxes of pasta in her arms away. It seemed she was just an inch or so to short. He walked next to her with a large bag of rice, that was supposed to go on the same shelf, and easily put it away. She turned and scowled at him before thrusting the boxes into his arms and stalking off to put away the new sandwich stuffs. Grinning at his success at irritating his roommate, Mello continued to stock the pantry in silence.
It wasn't long until the movers were done, Noa thanked them, offered them a snack which they politely declined, and walked them to the door. Mello Watched her return to the kitchen to start lunch and bit into his bar of chocolate. When Noa heard the snap her eye twitched. She turned just slightly, flicked her wrist and released the knife she had been using to chop up lettuce for salads. she smiled when she heard the thud of the knife embedding itself in the wooden table in front of Mello. She turned to look at the blond "Mello your going to spoil your lunch." She told him in a sweet voice. Mello nodded wide eyed and gently put the chocolate on the table and pushed it a way carefully, never taking his eyes away from Noa. You NEVER piss off Noa. She smiled sweetly at the blond and turned back to chopping vegetables(with a new knife).
By the time Noa had finished making lunch it was almost two thirty. Checking the clock she sighed in frustration and grabbed her cell phone and called Matt.
"Hello?" Matt answered his phone. "Noa? Oh, yeah we're almost done. checking out now. what? okay, lunch? fifteen minutes tops! Yes Ma'am. No we didn't get kicked out of any stores... oh come on! that was one time!" Matt grit his teeth and felt his eye twitch. "we'll seen you in a few Noa. Bye." Matt hung up muttering something about obnoxious mother hens.
The cashier smile at him as Luka snickered. "your mother?" Matt stayed silent and payed the man.
Luka nearly burst with laughter. "more like a crazy younger sister with mommy syndrome and a knife fetish." Matt shook his head at her and picked up some of their bags.
"come on Luka we need to get home. Lunch is ready and Mello's not allowed any chocolate till after he's eaten." Luka eyes widened she hurriedly grabbed up the remaining bags and shot off out of the store.
A/N: YAY! finally chapter six. I'm so sorry it took so long... but here it is . even if it is kind of filler-ish... anyway i think the next chapter might be another time jump not a long one but maybe a few months Mello and Matt are both 14almost 15 right now and and Luka and Noa are both13/14 so i might just skip passed the rest of the adjustment period and their birthdays so they are a more acceptable age(for geniuses) to start developing their relationships, habits, addictions, and darker quirks... such as mellos connections(mafia) and obsession with leather and guns, matts smoking, luka's fascination with tourture, matts mad hacking skillz, and noa's love of knives and knowedge of poisons,and awesome medical skillz. thanks for reading 3
