Morning came without any hassle. Matt still had his arms around the blonde as the sun shone in the window and onto Mello's face, awaking him from his slumber. At first, he hadn't noticed the gamer was cuddling him, but as he tried to move around, the arms around him were more than noticeable. Mello's eyes widened slightly, hearing snores right behind him. Matt was still asleep.

I'm sick of feeding my soul, to people who'll never know, just how purposeless and empty they've grown.

The blonde lifted his friend's arm from around his waist, being sure to take care not to wake him. After successfully crawling out of the bed, Mello looked out the window. It was raining. Buckets of it but that was okay, they needed to plan how to get the Death Note back now. He turned around and leaned against the window sill.

Because the language confuses, like computers refuse to understand how I am feeling today.

Mello stared at Matt, still in his slumber. Turning towards the mirror, he examined his face. It had completely healed, leaving large burn marks on his once pale skin, that continued down his neck and torso. It didn't hurt at all anymore. He glanced back at Matt, before making his way too the door and downstairs.

I'm freezing, and loosing my way. I don't need another map of your head.

Mello somehow found himself in the back garden, under the eave so as not to get wet and holding a cup of hot chocolate. He watched the rain as he thought to himself about how he could stay here forever. Matt's house was so peaceful, and there was always something to do. Mello had found himself playing one of Matt's dozens of video game consols, and usually needing help with how to work it.

I'm freezing, and loosing my way. I don't need another map of your head.

He heard a creak from the side and tilted his head to see the redhead smiling at him and stretching his arms above his head. "You sleep okay?" Matt asked casually. Mello simply nodded. Matt knew that he was embarassed. They both knew. Mello sipped on his hot chocolate quietly, the rain beating down on the eave as they both stood in silence, not looking at each other.

I saw a liquid control, that gives life to a soul. I hit my head on it and woke up to know...

"Mello..." Matt began, but Mello had already cut in with his own sentence. "We need to plan for today, what do you think we should do?" He asked Matt, even though he already had a plan formed in his head, he just wanted to change the subject before Matt even got on it. "I'm sorry," Matt said silently, ignoring Mello's question completely. Nothing more was said between them, as Mello began to walk towards the door again.

That I was all alone, wearing just socks and a phone,

They both entered the kitchen. It wasn't exactly that Mello was angry, he just felt... Awkward around his best friend now. They had cuddled. All night. And Mello hadn't even woken up and noticed. When the silence between them continued, Mello made his way back to his room, to get dressed, leaving Matt in the kitchen to pick up his PSP and play it.

It wasn't until midday that Mello returned downstairs, to see Matt slumped on the couch, asleep. Mello smiled at the sight. He picked up a glass from the counter and dropped it on the floor purposely, causing a loud crash to sound out through the room. Matt jolter up, as if he had been hit with something. "Wh-What happened?" He asked, his hair slopped to one side and his goggles tilted down his face. "Oops." Mello said sarcastically, making his way over to the redhead and sitting on the couch next to him.

Someone screaming like their world might explode.

Matt gave Mello a playful slap on the arm. "That's not funny.." He said, even though he was smiling. The blonde rubbed his arm grabbed Matt's goggles, pulling them away from his face. "No! Not that again!" Matt simply whined as he sat completely still, afraid that Mello would leave them go, leaving a red mark on his face. "What do you say?" The blonde taunted, pulling the goggles back further. "Sorry.." Matt mumbled and Mello let the goggles go anyway, leaving them slap of Matt's face.

Yeah, I'm freezing and loosing my way, I don't need another map of your head.

"You bitch!" The gamer squeeled as he held his nose in agony. "I said sorry!" Mello looked over at Matt. "That's not what I wanted you to say.." The blonde said with a smirk. "What did you wa-" Matt began, but Mello simply stood up and began walking towards the kitchen. "I'm hungry.." He mumbled, reaching into the cupboard to get a bar of chocolate.

I'm freezing and loosing my way, I don't want another map of your head.

He undid the rapper, taking a chunk into his mouth and munching on it loudly. "Y'know, I was thinking..." Matt said, as he followed his friend into the kitchen. "You eat to much chocolate." Mello looked at him with confusion. "So?" Mello retorted, taking another chunk into his mouth. "It's not good for you." Matt poured out a class of milk, sipping on it slightly. "Neither is playing video games 24/7." Mello murmmered. "Touché" Matt concluded.

Freezing and loosing my way, I don't want another map of your head.

That day went like any other day, and even though Mello had wanted to plan on their next move, they didn't. Instead, they played video games and talked to each other about random subjects.

***

"Okay, your favorite... Food." Matt asked, as they sat infront of the T.V., asking each other random questions. "Matt, that's such a stupid question. You know my favorite food." Mello replied with a short laugh. "Chocolate." They both said in unison, laughing at each other. "Ask another question. That one doesn't count." Mello told him, leaning his head against the back of the couch.

I'm freezing, and loosing my way. I don't need another map of your head.

"Favorite... Song." Matt asked, leaning his head on the the palm of his hand. "Duality. SlipKnot." Mello replied almost instantly. "Of course." The redhead laughed. With a yawn, Matt turned the T.V. off, and stood up from the couch. "Time for bed." He said whilst stretching his arm down to help the blonde up. They both made their way up stairs, as Mello yawned tiredly. They turned to each other on the landing just as they had the night before, ready to say goodnight. "Well, goodnight." Mello said with a smile. Matt leaned in, hugging his friend tightly, and Mello simply laughed nervously. "Goodnight, Mello." He said, almost inaudibly. "Matt.. If you can't sleep tonight... Take a pill" Mello said with a laugh as Matt pulled away and let him go. "Will do." The gamer replied and with that, he retreated to his room
