CXII. Hardcover
Matt was feeling very proud of himself this morning, marching into his and Mello's apartment with his chin held high. On the couch, Mello snorted at him, not looking up from his magazine.
"Mello," Matt said, smiling in a kind-of-creepy way.
"Matt," Mello replied evenly.
"Mello."
"Matt."
"Mello."
"Barbie."
"Wha'?"
"Nothing, jackass. What do you want?" Mello queried, rolling his eyes.
Here Matt grinned, thrusting a plastic bag into Mello's face. The blond raised an eyebrow. "What is that?"
"My Death Note manga!" Matt boasted. "And it's hardcover!"
Mello gave him a weird stare. "I thought I bought you one a while back," he recalled.
"Yeah, but that one was paperback and you broke it..." Matt shrugged. "Today I remembered, so I went out and bought it."
"Hm," Mello said thoughtfully. "And this time you think I'm not able to break it?"
"I don't think," Matt said, "I know."
The next morning, his new hardcover manga lay on their desk, torn to pieces. Matt howled in anguish.
Mello's so mean...
Anyway, this next week is going to be busy for me, what with school starting in two days, unfortunately. XP I'll try to update, but my dad's going to be hounding me and making sure I put school first. *insert eyeroll* Just wanted to tell everyone to expect not so much updates until the weekend, maybe.
