The room was dead silent, aside from the sound of Mello's and Matt's hearts beating against their chests so loud. The sound filled Matt's ears and he wondered whether Mello could actually hear it, but said blonde was so embarrassed that he had totally lost control, to the point where he couldn't lift a single finger until Matt replied.

It was either good or bad from now on.

The gamer was without a clue. Yes he was happy, why wouldn't he be? Mello just confessed to him, TO HIM…TO HIM! His most wild dreams, fantasies…oh whatever! The point is that they came true. The only reason he was stuck for words was because he was so sure that Mello liked Near…

No he wasn't just sure, he knew that Mello loved Near, to the point that he detested himself and Near for it…so why was he doing this?

Mello finally seemed to regain control of himself and sighed, before getting up, "I'm sorry," He mumbled, walking away, "I shouldn't have said that."

Mello could actually feel the sob forming in his throat, threatening to come up, he recognised the signs that he, Mello, was about to cry and for the most stupid reason.

…Matty didn't love him back.

Matts hand reacted before he himself knew what was going on, but all he could think of at the moment was that Mello confessed to him, and that meant the world.

Mello felt Matt's hand grab onto his, a warm tingle spread throughout his palm and right up through his arm, he turned around, biting his lip, trying to stop it from trembling.

"Don't cry Mells…" Matt began, bring his thumb up to Mello's face so he could stroke the fresh tears away.

'He can be so fragile…' Matt thought.

"B-but…" Matt placed his index finger over Mello's lips, silencing him, before taking a step closer to the blonde, now their faces were only inches apart.

"Shh…you didn't even get my answer, silly." He whispered in Mellos ear.

"Then tell me your answer…" Mello whispered back and that was the only sign Matt needed to know that he could do what he wanted to do for a long time.

*Ahem*…a very long time.

Matts' lips met Mellos in almost an instant, both the boys eyes shut, enjoying the sweet kiss. Mello pulled Matt closer to him, feeling Matt's warmth spread through his body as he wrapped his arms around Matt, entwining his fingers in his flaming red hair.

Matt responded and snaked his arms around Mellos waist, the kiss becoming a little more passionate now. Mello moaned into the kiss, he was so happy, he now had his best friend and a boyfriend in one…convenient.

Footsteps echoed down the hallway, becoming louder and louder as they approached the room that Mello and Matt were currently 'occupying.'

A slight click of the door handle and Mello and Matt had already flown meters away from each other, each of them landing on a separate sofa, both acting as casual as possible.

Yeah, like hell that was easy, after what they just shared.

Matts cheeks were redder than his hair and Mello was having trouble composing his breathing, both of them stealing glances at each other as they waited for the person to leave.

'Oh fuck you bastard! Just hurry up and get your ass outta here!" Mello thought angrily as he shot a glare at the kid who was fumbling with some books, trying to get them back on the shelf.

But Mello wasn't the only one growing impatient, Matt was just as much as Mello, though he would never snap at someone just because they were interrupted in a rather heated moment.

Okay…maybe he would but control was key.

And to Mello 'control' was a foreign word, "Ah, fuck this shit." Mello grumbled as he went over to the short-ass kid.

"Mello…" Matt began in a warning tone, cautious that something…rather violent might take place in a couple of minutes.

"Shut up Matt," Mello finally reached the kid, took the books off him and pointed to the door, "Out. Now." The poor child stood there in fear, of course everyone knew about Mello and his 'anger.'

"I said get the fuck out…NOW." Mello persisted, still pointing at the door.

The kid turned around and literally shot out of the room, whimpering as he went. When he was out, Mello proceeded to shut the door, lock it this time, dump the books and head over to Matt.

"Well that was a little…" Mello laid himself over Matt, snuggling into his chest.

"He was taking god damn forever." Mello said, exasperated.

"Someone was impatient."

"I wasn't the only impatient one."

"How would you know?"

"You started to tap your fingers, I think that's a sign of impatience for you." Mello stated in a matter-of-fact way.

"You've been studying my habits?" Matt made a fake look of disgust, "I always knew you watched me, but never that closely."

"What? No?!" Mello said flustered and embarrassed.

"So you don't look at me at all then?" Matt pouted this time, chuckling a little when he saw Mello's look of confusion grow.

"What? Oh geez, this is too confusing…" Matt opened his mouth to make a smart reply only to be cut off by Mello kissing him.

"If you wanna stop me from talking then that method, is highly liked." Matt joked, a light laugh behind his voice.

"Shut up! Less talk, more…" Mello trailed off not knowing what to say.

"More of this?" Matt grabbed Mellos chin and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Hmm…yeah , more of that." Mello purred, before leaning in for another.

In another room….

The clouds outside side grew darker and darker, before a rumbling sound shook the whole orphanage, Near froze, thunder, possibly lightning.

His hand grabbed another dice and was slowly bringing it up to a tower when another rumble sounded. The dice fell from his hand and knocked over the tower. Near, just sat there, frozen but shaking, his grey eyes big and scared.

Why? Why did he have to choose to be by himself today? It's not that he wasn't always alone, just never…in a room without actual people…in these conditions…

Another rumble, and a crack following after made Near nearly jump out of his skin with fear. He was so scared and worst of all his was alone.

In a big dark room.

Paralysed with fear.

He tried to collect himself, to control his fear, to stop his breathing from getting too heavy, to stop his heart from beating too fast. Another clap of thunder and it was all out loose again, Near grabbed a piece of his hair and twirled it, his other hand wrapped securely around his legs as he crouched down, making himself as small as possible.

A soft creak and light flooded into the room as the door opened, Near looked up only to be greeted by Mellos presence, "See you later Matty!" Mello turned around, "What are you doing here?"

The thunder clapped louder and Near hugged himself tighter, trembling, "O-kay…." Mello said, looking at Near weirdly before heading over to the couch.

Another rumble and Near had already put his hands over his head, in a defensive stance.

'Dammit Near…compose yourself! This is weak…' He thought, but it was no use, he was that scared.

"Near, are you scared of thunder?" Mello asked, shocked but on the verge of laughing.

"N-no…" Near offered, weakly.

"Then why are you sitting like that?" Mello got up and walked over to Near, standing in front of him.

The only thing Mello could think of is why he wasn't taking the perfect opportunity to beat Near up, why was he just standing there?

"U-um…" Near started, before the next crack of lightning cut him off, "Ah!" He said grabbing onto the nearest thing to him.

…Which just happened to be Mellos leg.

"What the fu-?!" Mello was frozen, he wanted to shake Near off, but the thought made him feel guilty almost.

"Help," Near whimpered, "I'm scared, Mello."
