Mello, Matt and me.

Chapter 5: Shopping

I woke up to the sound of pokemon music. What happened? Where was I? It took me a few minutes to remember what happened to me. Then, I opened my eyes for good and looked at Mello. But the place where I thought I would see the blonde boy was empty.

"Oh, good morning. Did I wake you up?" Matt asked me.

I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms before answering "Nah, it's fine. Where's Mello?"

"Here" a voice coming from the door answered my question.

It was Mello, a paper bag in his hand and a little smile on his face. He took something from the bag and threw it at me. I caught a little brioche which was still warm. He threw another one at matt who let his Gameboy fall down,making the batteries pop out of it.

"NO! I JUST CAUGHT A LEGENDARY POKEMON!!!" Matt screamed and looked at his console. Then his furious eyes went up to a smirking Mello. "You're dead" he said before taking a pillow and running after a now laughing Mello who just had the time to throw the bag at me before running away.

I laughed to myself and leaned back on the warm pillows. I suddenly smelt it again. That scent... A bit of dust mixed with old leather and chocolate... I closed my eyes to smell it better. Then, I got closer to the origin of the smell, until my face touched the soft pillow Mello was sleeping on. I buried my nose in it. I loved this smell... it reminded me of my childhood.

Suddenly, my thoughts got interrupted by a panting Mello who was running back in the room and hiding behind me, still laughing, soon followed by Matt. It transformed into a pillow fight, which we only stopped after Mello accidently crushed my brioche. Matt only stopped to be angry after I promised him to help him catching his pokemon.

After we ate, we decided to go to the village that was only fifteen minutes away by foot.

Matt left his console atthe church, so I discovered how funny and full of energy he was.

"Mello, don't be abitch, give me some chocolate!"

"MATT YOU KNOW THAT I NEVER SHARE MY CHOCOLATE!!!"

"Rule number one, Mello doesn't share any chocolate."

We all got along very well and laughed a lot. Then, we arrived at the town. It was surprisingly modern, with shops, restaurants and even a little shopping-centre and a small cinema.

"Hey Mells! Do you remember when we first escaped from the orphanage to watch a movie there? " Matt said, pointing on the building.

"I told you to not call me 'Mells' and yes, I remember, we wached titanic there." Mello replied.

"Yes, and you cried like a little child"

"SHUT UP MATT"

Then we arrived at what seemed to be a second hand shop.

"let's buy our new clothes there." Matt said.

"Great idea!"

"I hope they have some leather there." Mello grumbled before going inside.

I helped Mello to findsome leather clothes. We found a sleeveless leather jacket which had a collar reaching him at the level of his Adam's apple and arriving at the bottom of his navel. When he sat down, half of his belly showed up but that gave him a little savage look.

"What do you think?"he asked.

"Well you look really cool." I said honestly.

"Thanks for your advices. Go and look if you can help Matt, I'll see if I can get some leather pants and maybe some boots" He said with a little smile.

I nodded and went toMatt's changing room.

"Is everything okay in there?" I asked through the tissue.

"Well..." Matt said before opening the curtain.

What I then saw willforever stay in my memory: He was wearing a pink shirt with some doodles on it, and some dark elefant paw jeans and some goggles. I laughed so hard that everyone in the shop was looking at me, but I couldn't stop myself. He just looked so ridiculous.

"Ma-ha-ha-hatt!!wha-ha-ata-hare you do-ho-hoing?" I laughed.

"Trying new stuff on,but your reaction somehow makes me say that it maybe isn't the good style for such a cool boy like me." He answered. Then he took the goggles. "Those actually look cool, whatever you're saying I'm keeping them."

"Whatever you want" I said after I managed to stop laughing. "Actually stripes fit you very well, but you should try something darker."

"Just give me something and I'll try it on." He said.

I went to the sweaters butI didn't find much there. But then, a long-sleeved t-shirt catched my eye. It had black and dark red horizontal stripes. It was in the yomen department of the store. I smiled and took it. I also took some black woman jeans, then ran to his changing room with a grin.

After he came out of the changing room, I laughed a little. I laughed because it was fitting him perfectly. After all clothes are clothes, no matter for who they are, I thought to myself. But still, I had to smile.

"What are you smiling at? Is this still not cool enough?" he asked, confused.

"No no! You look goodlike that." I said.

"I have to admit that you're right, I like this style, well done. What are you buying?"he asked.

"Nothing, I don't want to waste my money. My clothes are good."

"Please, your shirt is scratched and your pants are way too large."

He was right.

"Well, if you don't use them anymore, I could actually take your and Mello's old clothes."

"That is a great idea"Mello's voice said to me.

I turned back and saw him.He was now wearing very tiny elefant paw leather pants with golden crosses sewn on its knees and red leather boots under them. In his right hand he was holding a bag.

"This bag contains your new clothes. Matt, put yours inside aswell." Mello said.

Matt put his old clothes in the bag and Mello gave it to me. Then we paid and got back to the street.

"Damn it feels good to have new things to wear." Matt said.

Then we went to a fast-food because the boys were hungry, and on the way I whispered toMello that Matt was wearing women clothes. In the fast food we spent much of our time laughing at him, to his biggest confusion.

Mello matt and I took three big milkshakes: I took strawberry, Matt took vanilla and Mello,well, I think you all know now.

We all tasted each other's flavors and I even dared to make a mix of the three in my mouth. It was pretty weird.

After we got out, Mello put on a serious face.

"Okay, now that we had a great time it's time to be serious again. Both of you have a job to find."
