*"Hi there! My name's Matt!" The nine-year old child said.
"Yeah, so?" A blonde boy answered.
"What's your name?" Matt asked.
"None of your business."
"Oh? What an unusual name. Who gave it to you?" The redhead said.
"Look, kid, I don't have time to play games with you. So can you just go away?" The blonde said getting a little irritated.
"Ehh? I was just asking you a question. You're so grouchy…I like games though! What about you?"
"Ugh…You're just doing this to irritate me aren't you?"
Matt laughed. "Oh no, not at all. I just want to know your name." He said with a smile.
"Mello."
"Huh?"
"My name's Mello."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Mello." Matt said with a grin.
Several minutes later, Mello went back to his room, he ran out of chocolate. He didn't know why, but this 'Matt' guy was following him. He turned around with an annoyed look on his face. "Will you stop following me?" He said.
Matt blinked and stared at the blonde for a moment. "I'm not following you, I just want to get back to my room." He said. "Or should I say… Our room."
"What?" Mello quickened his pace. Once he was standing in front of his room, he slowly opened the door, wishing that he would not see a baggage of some sort. But unfortunately, he did see one. Matt really was his new roommate. But it wouldn't be a problem, I'll get him out of this room in no time. Just like my previous roommates. The blonde thought with a smirk on his face. He sat on his bed and crossed his leg. "How come I didn't hear about this?" He asked.
The redhead went inside the room and closed the door behind him. He lay down on his bed with his arms behind his head. "Well, Roger was supposed to tell you this morning. I believe he called for you? But you didn't go. I guess that's probably why." He said. He turned his head to the side and looked at the other.
Mello saw Matt look at him, which caused him to look away. "I-In any case, since you're going to be my roommate, I need to set up some rules." He said.
Matt looked at the other and sat up. "I'm listening."
"Okay, first off, you can't touch any of my stuff, unless I give you permission to. Second, you can't have any of my chocolate. And third, don't bother me when I'm studying. Is that clear?" Mello asked with a brow raised up.
Matt raised his eyebrow too. "You expect me to follow what you say? What if I don't?"
The blonde glared at Matt. "Then I guess we won't get along too well." He said.
Matt's eyes widened. "Whoa, I was just kidding. No need to be so scary. Jeez…" He sighed. "Is there anything else?"
"Yeah." Mello paused. "Go get me some chocolate."
Mello woke up from his dream. "Shit." He cursed. He'd been having all these dreams about his past. And he didn't like it one bit. It made him guilty. I wonder where he is now…Has he…Forgotten about me? Che. He probably hates me… He thought. The blonde covered his eyes with his arm. "It's been what, eight years? And I haven't been able to move on. I must be pathetic." A sigh escaped from his lips.
Three years ago, Mello had found out that his parents had died four years after he was given to Wammy's. It turns out that he was the child of his father and his mistress. He thought of returning to Matt, or at least take him away from Wammy's, but he was afraid to show himself. Besides, if the redhead really wanted to be with him, he would've chased after him. Right? Nevertheless, the fact that he still hasn't been able to move on haven't changed. "I wonder if…He even remembers who I am…"
…
~It was past midnight and a ten-year-old Matt was having a nightmare. He woke up in cold sweat. His heart was beating fast, and his hands and feet were cold. He looked over to the other who was sleeping soundly. The blonde's back was turned to him. Without thinking about what he was doing, he walked over to Mello's bed and lay down beside him. He placed his hand against the other's back . "Let me stay like this just for tonight, okay?" Matt said quietly as if Mello could hear him.
The next morning, Matt woke up only to find that Mello's arms were wrapped around him. A smile formed upon his lips. He buried his face on the other's chest. His moving somehow woke the blonde up.
Mello's eyes widened. He quickly withdrew his arms. "Th-This isn't what it looks like. It was cold!" He said with a blush.
Matt tried not to smirk. "It's alright, Mels." He said. But, 'Cold or not, your usual reaction would be pushing me off the bed. But you didn't do that…I'm happy', was what he actually wanted to say. Though, he was satisfied with just this.
"Mels?" Mello asked.
Matt smiled and nodded.
"H-Hey… Just because I let you sleep on my bed for one night, doesn't mean you can call me that." Mello said and sat up. "Which reminds me, get off my bed."
…
It was a normal afternoon for the Jeevas household. The now three-year-old Roice already knows how to count from 1-100, has memorized the alphabet, and knows how to write and read. As time went by, the child looked more and more like his father. Red hair, green eyes, even his nose looks like Matt's. The only part of him that resembled Sakiko was his mouth. Always red, sometimes pink. A little like snow white, maybe?
Matt's job as a programmer was doing great. And as for Sakiko, she stays at the house cleaning and preparing everything while the two were out. One could say that they were the definition of a perfect family. All smiles and laughs. However, even the most perfect family in the whole world is bound to have problems.
"What…Did you say?" Matt asked, eyes wide.
"I'm sorry, Matt. I know I should've told you sooner. But…I just wanted us to have a normal life with no burden." Sakiko said as tears started to fall from her eyes.
Matt lowered his head. "When did you find out?" He asked.
"Last year…The doctor said that I have two years left to live back then. So this means I only have a year left."
"Why didn't you tell me this, Sakiko?"
"I…I just…" She trailed. "I'm so sorry, Matt." The raven covered her face with her hands. "It was already too late when I found out. I didn't want you to worry." Tears just kept falling.
Matt looked at his wife. Since she only has a year left, they should make the most of it right? The redhead wrapped his arms around the other. "How can I not worry when I know the woman I love won't live much long?" He grabbed her hands away from her face and wiped her tears. "Let's just make happy memories okay?" Matt kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. Why does everyone he loves have to be taken away from him?
Sakiko buried her face on the other's chest. She had been going to the hospital for check-ups secretly. It didn't take her too long to find out that she had cancer. And since she was an orphan herself, she didn't know if she got it from her parents. Which worries her because Roice might get it too. "I love you, Matt. You and Roice."
"I know. We love you too. So be strong , okay?"
Sakiko nodded. "Okay."
"Hey…Do you want to go out today? The three of us?"
"But don't you have an appointment tonight?" Sakiko asked.
"It's fine, I can cancel it and make it tomorrow. I want to spend time with the two of you." The redhead said with a smile.
Sakiko smiled back. "Alright. Let's pick Roice up then. School is almost done."
