Hold Me Tightly Chapter 4, a death note fanfic

I'm sooooooooo sorry for the wait! I had complications with Furitori and I got really excited for this new Death Note story i'm working on. ^^"

I am no longer working with Furitori on this story (except for the lemon.. she's writing that ^^") and my other story is on hold because I'm waiting for information from Kira-Oni. She's writing a Death Note story as well and we decided to combine them at some point so we're kind of collaborating on it.

But there's good news in this for you! Because I have to wait for Kira-Oni's first chapter and my parents setting new rules I have plenty of time to write, meaning more chapters for you! I'm hoping to have at least two more chapters out soon. I'm actually going to work on the next one right now! So... Enough chit-chat for now!

Disclaimer: Kin and Furitori do NOT own Death Note. (This'll also be the last time I put Furitori in the disclaimer... except for the lemon chapter X.x)

Matt wasn't wake when I got up so I grabbed my clothes and took a shower. When I was done Matt was up and was sitting on the bed, which was already made. He had already changed out of the pajamas I had let him barrow and was now wearing a striped shirt and a pair of worn-out jeans, his ever present goggles covering his eyes.

I made my way over to the laundry bin by the closet. "Breakfast should be ready by now," I informed him. "If you want to wait for me I'll be done in a moment." He nodded his head and I returned to the bathroom to finish getting ready.

When I walked back out Matt had a far off look on his face and his mind was obviously no longer present. "Ready?" I asked him, successfully snapping him out of his world and into ours.

He nodded again and got up. He followed me out the door as we started down the hall. We were walking by the Rec. room when Matt paused to look in the door and I swear I could see that same distant look in his eyes. "Did you want to play the game again?" I asked.

Matt jumped and turned his goggled eyes to me and nodded. He looked at the door once more and continued to follow me down the hall. He'd only played for a while and now he's addicted! Shaking my head, I told Matt we could play after I was done with school that day.

As we walked down the hall I could smell the fresh cinnamon buns and doughnuts. Apparently Matt did too because he stopped and took a huge whiff.

"What is that?" It was just a small whisper but I heard it. I looked at Matt once I realized the only person it could've come from was him.

"Doughnuts and cinnamon buns," I answered a little shocked, "Haven't you had them before?"

Matt shook his head. "I've heard of doughnuts but never tried them and I've never heard of cinnamon buns"

This kid had to be kidding me! "Never heard of… Well you'll just have to try one!" I then began leading the way to the cafeteria once more.

When we entered the cafeteria it was pretty empty. Most of the kids hate to get up real early which meant I had most of the room to myself. We joined the line and very quickly grabbed our food. I grabbed two of the chocolate doughnuts for myself (I'll admit it I love chocolate) and Matt grabbed one of the fresh cinnamon buns. We grabbed a seat in the corner and I started to eat my yummy chocolate doughnuts.

After I finished my first one I noticed Matt was once again just staring at his food. "You're supposed to eat it. Not stare at it to death."

He gave me a funny look as if to say 'I knew that' and picked the bun up. I watched as he took his first bite and his eyes lit up. He then quickly ate the rest as if he thought someone would come snatch it out of his hands.

I laughed. "See they're good right?" He turned red and nodded. I finished my second doughnut and began to get up to lead Matt back to our room when old man Watari showed up.

"Master Matt? You are needed to take your test." The old man's face was set in a soft smile. I think I speak for everyone when I say that this man was as close to father we've had since being orphaned.

Matt got up to follow Watari. The old man smiled at me. "Please excuse us Master Mello. I shall return your friend to you after he is done." They then left the room.

Friends? Matt and me? I never really thought about it. I've never had a friend before… I remembered Matt talking to me in the hallway before we had breakfast and realized that that was the most he's said since he got hear. We had even played video games together. "Maybe we are friends." I muttered to myself as I went to gather my schoolbooks and begin the long day.
