CLXXV. Stranger
Matt usually stayed up longer, way past midnight, but on this particular night he was exhausted. Waiting for Mello to come home from the Mafia had never been a problem before, so he had no idea why he fell asleep early.
His sleep, however, was cut short when there was a clatter from the kitchen.
The redhead bolted upwards on the couch. He tugged his goggles down to his neck and tried his best to see through the darkness. There wasn't anything there, but he swore that he felt like he wasn't alone.
Cautiously, he got up and made his way to the kitchen. In the darkness, he managed to grope and find a frying pan. Wielding it as a weapon, he kept going until he was out of the kitchen and instead in front of the bathroom. The lights were on. He wondered who was there...
The door opened, and wham!
"Ow! Matt, you fucker!" the 'intruder' hissed.
"Mello?" Matt still struggled to see in the lack of light. "God, I thought you were a kidnapper or something!"
"That frying pan hurt, you dolt."
A few seconds later, Matt finally found the light switch. He flipped it on, and then stared at his roommate. Particularly at his roommate's swelling bruise. "I'm sorry," he mumbled.
Mello sighed. "It's okay, I've had worse." Then he smirked, just a little. "But now you have to play nurse, got it?"
I feel really bad for not putting a note up sooner, but I had absolutely no time... Anyway, please go to my profile for an explanation of my stories, or lack thereof. In the meantime, I hope I'll get to see you guys again soon.:)
