LOL YEEEEESSSSSSSS 50 REVIEEEEEEWWWWWS WOOOOOOOOOT! -splodes-
It was night time, and all the inhabitants of the house were fast asleep. Even L, who only sleeps for one or two hours and wakes up suddenly because of his insomnia.
In Matt's and Mello's shared room, all was quiet. There was a rustle of sheets and Mello sat up from his bed, disgruntled. The blonde checked to see if his best friend is awake, but he wasn't. So he stood up, got out of the room, and went downstairs to get himself some hot chocolate.
He quickly made his soothing beverage and sat down in one of the couches in the lounge room, sipping his drink and careful not to burn his tongue.
While drinking his hot chocolate absentmindedly, his sapphire eyes stared at the blank wall, his mind going elsewhere…
Flashback…
A nine-year old Mello walked around the hallways of the orphanage, careful not to wake anybody up. He was headed to the kitchens to get himself a late-night snack - AKA: Chocolate.
Suddenly the chocoholic stopped, his ears perked up. He heard some sounds close by, so he cautiously crept to the source of the noise.
It was Roger's Office.
The door wasn't closed, so he opened it up slowly. It creaked a little, alerting the person inside the office.
"Hmm? Who's there?" The person whispered, loud enough for Mello to hear.
The blonde blinked. He knew that voice, "BB?" He said uncertainly.
"…Mello? Come in, quickly, before someone sees you!" B hissed. Mello hastily went inside the office and shut the door behind him swiftly and quietly.
"Sorry," The blonde apologised, "I was on my way to the kitchens and…"
B raised a hand, signalling the boy to stop. "Don't worry. Just don't tell anyone."
"Okay," The boy agreed. B grinned.
"Y'wanna know a secret that no one else knows about?" The jam addict said in a sing-song voice.
"…Sure?"
And then B grinned menacingly, making Mello shudder in fear. "I'm going to the USA." He hissed, "I'm going to the airport tonight and I'll catch my plane to LA."
Mello gasped, "Why?" He whispered.
"Why?" B repeated, his grin gone. "Because I want to play a game with my dear brother. I'm going to give him a case which he cannot solve! Henh, henh, henh!"
"You…" Mello hesitated, "You're going to become a criminal?"
"Well, yes." B mused, "I guess I am. I'll be leaving soon, so you better get to bed."
"Don't go…" The blonde whimpered, "I'll… I'll miss you."
B smiled. Not just a sadistic smile, a true one. "I'll miss you too, Mihael." He said delicately. "Though, promise me you won't tell anyone about this, especially L. I will reveal myself later, but time will tell."
"I promise."
And the debt one Mihael Keehl owed to Beyond Birthday, was paid.

"Mello?"
The blonde's head snapped to the direction of the door. He visibly relaxed once he saw that it was just Near, holding a stuffed bunny to his chest.
"What are you doing up?" Near whispered, careful not to wake anybody up. He walked over next to Mello and sat down beside him.
Mello glanced at his … Friend? Rival? He wasn't sure. "I could ask you the same question." He retorted.
"I had a bad dream," Near admitted. "And, before you ask, no I will not elaborate." He added before Mello could open his mouth. The chocoholic pouted.
It was quiet.
"You still haven't answered my question, Mello." The white-haired boy pointed out, cuddling his toy bunny to his upper body.
"Hmm? Oh," Mello blinked, "I… I just couldn't sleep. That's all." He took a sip out of the mug, and grimaced when he found out that his drink was cold.
Near looked on, amused. "Do you want another one?"
Mello smirked, "That would be greatly appreciated, yes."
