CHAPTER TWO: SNOW

***

Matt opened his eyes, trying to recall what had happened last night, quickly realizing that he didn't want to. He felt something shift beneath the covers and panicked.

Lifting up the blanket, he saw Mello, asleep, butt naked beside him.

Alarmed and slightly disturbed by this sight, Matt proceeded to wake the blonde. Mello awoke, stretched and yawned.

"Well how did I get up here?" He mumbled.

Matt, crossing this arms, replied "You know fully well how, you horny bastard!"

Matt climbed down the bunk bed and changed into another one of his striped shirts. He looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, and he knew that Roger had some chore for the two of them to do.

"Mattie…come back to bed!" Mello said, half asleep.

Matt, rolling his eyes, dragged Mello out of the bed and got him dressed.

15 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. The red head opened the door to see the old balding man the orphanage knew as Roger Ruvie.

"You two are on snow shovelling duty today."

Despite Matt and Mello's groans, Roger turned and walked away, mumbling something about how the shovels were in the shed.

"Shit! I have to deliver that package to Ross today… Damn!" Mello cursed.

Matt shrugged and made his way outside, followed closely by Mello. After donning their coats, the two of them went outside and got the shovels.

"Matt, Roger's gonna make sure that I'm shovelling, so I'm gonna stay at the front of the House and you go to the back. In 10 minutes, I need you to deliver something to Rod Ross, you remember him?" Mello said to Matt, looking around to make sure no one was there.

"Um, yeah I remember him. But what is it?" Matt replied, heading slowly toward the back of the giant building.

"That information is confidential, Mattie." Mello smirked, as he handed Matt a small, wrapped bundle that he had hidden in his coat.

Matt took the package and made his way behind the House. Exactly ten minutes later, Mello saw Matt climbing the back fence and walking briskly down the road to the Mafia's lair.

About half an hour later, Roger came outside and stopped in front of Mello.

"Are you done yet? And where is Matt?" He asked firmly, looking around.

Without a hint of nervousness, Mello replied;

"I'm done out here, but Matt took the back and I don't think he's done yet. I'm gonna go help him, we should be done in fifteen minutes."

Roger paused. Mello bit his lip.

"Fine, go help him. Near will come get you in twenty minutes." With that, the old man walked away.

Mello released the breath he was holding and went behind the house, trying to get all the snow shovelled in fifteen measly minutes.

When he was done, the exhausted Mello trudged back to his room and flopped on the bed, closing his eyes. As soon as he had done so, he heard the door open. Groaning loudly, the blonde sat up to see a young boy with pure white hair.

"Whaddaya want, you albino cream puff?" Mello growled.

Near took a piece of his hair and began to twirl it. He looked into the room. "We have to go now. Where's Matt?"

The white haired boy heard a loud gasp and looked at Mello. Their eyes met and Near could see a look of utter panic in his rival's eyes.

"Mello…? Where is Matt?" Near repeated slowly.

"I… I don't know…He should have been back by now…" Mello said, staring into nothing.

Near sighed. "Well you better find him, because the movie starts in ten minutes." With that, the pyjama clad boy walked away.

"Shit!" Mello swore under his breath. Where did his Matt go?

Matt: Yeah! Wait...

Author: Mello, you're going to have to wait a little bit.

Mello: F&%$ that!

Author: You will eventually. Review please.
