CXX. Allergies

"Why would you do that, Melly-chan?" Matt whined, entering the room. "I went through a lot to pick that flower, you know!"

Mello sighed, looking up from his textbook. "Sorry, Matty, I really wanted to take it..."

"But you threw it on the ground and stomped on it instead," Matt deadpanned.

"...but I'm allergic to daisies," Mello finished, blushing slightly at the fact that his best friend knew him most embarrassing secret.

"Oh..." Matt went silent for a few moments, before his eyes went wide. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" he cried, leaping forward and tackle-glomping the other boy to the floor.

Mello cursed, struggling to get out of his death grip. "Th-the hell! Let g-go!"

Matt was bawling. "I'm sorry, Mello! I could have killed you! I'm sorry!"

Leave it to Matt to twist the story around so he could blame himself. Mello made a mental note to make sure Matt wouldn't start cutting himself in the future. He opened his mouth to speak, and then stopped himself. Well, the attention was nice...

Mello smirked and let the redhead fawn over him, screaming, "You almost killed me, remember that, Matt?" whenever the gamer refused to get him more chocolate. That lasted for three whole days, until Matt finally got over it and trotted off to find something else to sniff- err, look at. Mello was a little disappointed, though he did enjoy not having to reassure a hysteric Matt every ten minutes. So yes, all was well until-

"Melly-chan, look what I picked for you~!" Matt said sweetly, appearing in the doorway of their classroom one morning. He beamed and held his hand out, offering Mello a bouqet of red roses.
