Chapter 5: On The Road
"It's like 10, and Matt hasn't called, texted or got here?" Gevanni asked, sighing.
"Correct." L said, taking a spoonful of cake into his mouth. "He is at Tokyo Dorm. I texted him again this morning, and he didn't reply. I think we can safely assume he is asleep, or his phone died."
"Matt charged his phone before he left. He is most likely asleep." Near said, tugging at a lock of white hair.
"You should calm down a bit, Near. The worst thing that could've happened was that he was raped by Misa." Gevanni joked. No one laughed, but just looked at Gevanni weirdly.
"Someone should go to Tokyo Dorm and get Matt back. Who wants to do that?" Mikami spoke up, speaking for the first time that morning.
"Not me!" L and Light said in unison, looking down at the table, cheeks pink.
"I am still tired, sorry. And I'm physically frail, and I'm sure Matt is hungover. I can't carry him." Near said, yanking at his hair.
"I have homework, sorry." Mikami said, smiling apologetically.
"Then that leaves you, Mello." Gevanni sighed.
"Why the fuck should I go get that dumbass?" Mello glared, standing up.
"Because you two might stop arguing. Seriously, Mello, you are an asshole. Try to be nice to Matt." Gevanni said, rolling his eyes.
"I expect something out of this shitass deal." the blond said, sighing.
"I'll get you that chocolate cake you love so much." L said, and Mello jumped up at the word 'chocolate'.
"Alright, time to drag a lazy ass home!" he said, walking towards Tokyo Dorms.
"Umm, does anybody realize that Mello and Misa look similar?" Light asked a few minutes later.
"My poor ears!" Mikami sighed, stalking off to his room.
"I agree." L said, nodding in Mikami's direction.
"Matt isn't that dumb to confuse the chocoholic Mello with anorexic Misa." Near said, stacking a few blocks up. "You should give him some more credit."
"Yeah, you're right." Gevanni said. "And I'm gonna have to lecture Matt about not informing his roommates where the hell he'll be."
"Good luck." Near smiled, as he got up to sit by the window.
It was 11 by the time Mello arrived at Tokyo Dorms. He had walked the long way, and stopped for a coffee before he arrived at the dorm.
"Hey Lidner." he said to the dorm adviser, that was sitting on the desk in the front of the dorm.
"Hey Mello. Why are you here?" she asked, looking at the annoyed blond.
"I have to pick up a retarded drunk who I have the displeasure of living with. You seen Matt?" he asked, looking around in disgust.
"No, sorry." Lidner said, and Mello sighed, walking into the dorm.
"Hey, bitch, you seen a guy about this tall, red hair, fugly goggles, and stripes?" He asked, glaring at a random girl on the couch.
"Oh, you mean Mattie? I think he's in Misa's room." she giggled, and Mello sighed, stomping upstairs.
"This Amane's room?" he asked another random person.
"Yeah." he nodded.
"3...2...1." Mello said, and threw the door open. He sighed in annoyance as he observed the scene in front of him.
Matt, with his shirt thrown randomly on the floor, and his goggles and jeans still on, was somehow on the floor, his head on a pillow. On the bed lay Misa, covered by blankets. And surprisingly, neither awoke when Mello threw the door open.
"YO, MATT, WAKE THE FUCK UP, GODDAMMIT!" he screamed, and smirked as the redhead jumped up.
"What the fuck, Mel? Why the hell you here?" he asked, clutching at his head. "Okay, okay, faack that huurts!"
"Huuhh, what the? Meellooo, why ddiiiiddd yooouu waaakkeeee Miiiissaaaa uuupppp?" she asked, drawling out her words.
"Shut the hell up, whore. I came here to get this bitch and drag his ass to our dorm. Now shuddup, and go sleep." Mello spat, dragging Matt by the back of his now-on shirt. He kicked the door closed, and dragged Matt outside before dropping him on the ground.
"Dammit, Mello, you loud ass. I'm fucking hungover, you know?" Matt complained, massaging his ass."Damn you're a bitch."
"Fuck you. I'm only doing this for the cake, motherfucker." Mello said, crossing his arms. "We should get some coffee into you, you look like a goddamn zombie."
"Awesome." Matt smiled, and got up, stretching. "Gawd that Misa is a slut."
"Then why did you bang her?" Mello asked cheekily.
"I only made out with her, Mello. I don't wanna get STDs, eww!" the redhead said, shuddering. "Hell knows how many she has."
"It's technically STIs now." the blonde smirked. "And she has around 5."
"Haha. You actually ain't that bad once you get that pole out of your ass, Blondie." Matt said, punching the older boy in the arm.
"Fuck you." Mello spat, glaring. "And you ain't that bad yourself, once you get past the geekiness and the crappy comebacks."
"Suck it." the younger laughed, sticking his tongue out jokingly. "You know you want to."
"Don't make me strangle you." Mello threatened, pushing Matt against a wall.
"You wouldn't. Gevanni will murder you." Matt laughed, pushing Mello away.
"Good point." Mello nodded, walking towards the coffee shop. "I'll buy you a coffee, but in return, you owe my 3 chocolate bars, got it, Goggles?"
"Fine, fine. Thanks for dragging me away from Misa." the redhead smiled. "I owe you big time."
"No problem. Yeah, can I get a grande iced white chocolate mocha, no whipped cream and MATT, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" Mello said to the cashier at the Starbucks, before turning back, yelling for the redhead.
"A grande Java Chip Frappuccino for me." Matt smiled, winking at the cashier. "Yes whipped cream."
"Will that be all?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
"Yeah." Mello nodded, handing her the money before pulling Matt towards their iced coffee. "You still drunk, bitch?"
"Nope." Matt smiled, laughing. "I'm just a bit of a flirt."
"A geek that's a flirt. I have seen everything." Mello laughed, taking a sip of his drink.
"A guy that dresses like a girl stripper. I have seen it all too." the redhead smirked, taking a big sip. "Oww, oww, BRAINFREEEZZZEEEE!!!"
"Karma's a bitch, Matty." the blond laughed, swatting him in the arm.
"Unngghhh, don't remind me, Mel." Matt pouted, and sighed. "Gevanni's gonna kill me, right?"
"Lecture, actually." Mello said, and Matt sat own on the ground.
"Then I'm in no hurry to get my ass back." he said, lying down on the grass.
"Lazy ass." Mello rolled his eyes, sitting beside him. They sat on the grass for a few minutes, finishing up their caffeinated drinks
"Do you remember anything from last night?" Mello asked, about 5 minutes later.
"Grinding, making out, drinking." Matt said, sighing. "You?"
"I remember you hitting on me." the blonde laughed, as the younger shot up, eyes wide. "and L and Light fucking in a closet."
"I did? You better not be fucking with me! And you serious? Daayyuuummm." he screeched, blinking.
"I'm not. You confused me with your drunk slut." Mello laughed, pushing Matt back down.
"Fail. Sorry about that, Mel." Matt said, looking up at the blonde. "You gotta admit, you and Misa look alike to a drunk."
"Sadly yes. But she's copying me!" Mello said, smirking. "Everybody wants to be this hot!"
"You are so modest." Matt said sarcastically, getting up. "C'mon, we should go before I get skinned."
"Yeah." Mello got up also, and the two walked back to their dorm.
"...and that is why you should always tell us if you are planning to spend the night somewhere, Matt. We were damn worried!" Gevanni said, finishing his lecture.
"Alright, alright, my bad, I'm sorry!" Matt apologized, pushing his goggles up. "But I was shit drunk, Gevanni. And I had a girl in my lap. What do you expect?"
"Push the whore off?" L suggested, tilting his head to the side.
"Matt, just wondering, why the fuck would you make out with Misa? She's as clingy as gum to a shoe." Light asked, sighing. "You didn't fuck her, right?"
"How many times do I have to tell you people, hell naw." Matt pouted, reaching for his DS. "And sorry for ditching you, Near."
"It's alright, But I did get hit on by Linda." Near said, sitting beside Matt with his textbook on his lap.
"And what did you say?" Matt inquired, not looking up from his game.
"That I don't like her. Am I an asshole?" Near asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.
"No." Yes." "No." "Most of the time, no." "No." "No." they all answered at the same time.
"Thank you." Near said, reading his textbook.
"Whatever. So, what classes do we have first tomorrow?" Matt asked, yawning.
"Math at 10." Mello said, sitting on the other side of the gamer. "Tired already? When did you sleep yesterday?"
"Somewhere between 4 and 5, I'm gonna guess." Matt said, looking up from his game.
"And Mello woke you at 11, so you had some sleep." Near said, also looking up from his textbook.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm used to less then 6 hours of sleep, so I don't care. Just wish I rested a bit." The redhead yawned again, stretching his arms up. "Kay, I'm gonna go for a smoke. See ya."
"Don't light up in here, though!" Gevanni called after him.
"I know." Matt called back, halfway out the door.
"Hello, L here." L said into his phone, looking out the window. "Can I call you back later, I'm kinda busy."
"Who was that?" Light asked from his side, smiling at his friend.
"No one important." L said, leaning against Light. "Light, wanna go for some sweets?"
"Sure." the brunette said, standing up, and he sighed.
"What's wrong?" the slightly older of the the two.
"Misa keeps harassing me with texts and apologizes about making out with Matt. God is that girl an idiot!" Light closed his eyes, rubbing at his temples.
"I think idiots have a higher intelligence then her. I believe the term is retarded, whore or stalker." L said, laughing quietly. "But seriously, Light, tell her to fuck off."
"I've been saying that since grade 9, L. That girl won't listen! And she won't leave me the fuck alone, goddammit!" Light complained, sighing once again as he sat down on a bench, L beside him.
"She should find someone else, but I have to agree with her. No one is as cute as Raito-kun." L teased, pecking the other on the cheek.
"L-L!" Light stuttered, blushing. "But good idea. But who should we set her up with?" They both thought for a minute, before looking at each other.
"MATT!"
"Achhoooo!" said gamer sneezed, blinking rapidly. "Who was talking about me?"
"After the beep, please record your message. BEEP!" an automated voice of a woman said into the earpiece of a speaker.
"Hey, L. Listen, I'm gonna stop by next weekend to see how you settled in. Just warning you in advance, bye. BEEP."
A/N:
Sorry I didn't update when promised, I kinda didn't know how to start this chapter off. And then, it kinda wrote itself! Go writer's streak :)
I kinda changed L's age a bit. He's the same age (19) as Light in this fic.
For some reason, I feel like I'm neglecting Light's fanboy, Mikami. I truthfully like the guy, but I seem to cast him as a bad guy. So, do you guys want more Mikami?
And just wondering, how many of you would like a lemon in the next few chapters? But it's not gonna be Mello/Matt, though. Sorry!
A question for people who know about uni: In classes, are you assigned group projects, or is all work individual?
Most importantly, thank you for all the reviews! I love reading them!!
