Matt x Mello

3

NEAR POV

I looked down at Matt. I had never seen anyone so broken before. I felt bad, I really did. But before I could say anything else, I felt a sharp pain as Mello's fist struck my face. I stumbled backwards, almost falling. I put a finger to my face and took away some blood. Roger was starting to panic, grabbing tissues and trying to restrain Mello, while also trying not to trip over Matt in the small office. Eventually, Roger had gotten Mello's hands behind his back. I took a handful of tissues from him and started to walk out of the door to the nurse's office, but I tripped over Mello's extended foot and fell face first into the hall. I rolled over to my back and wiped my nose with my hand. I guess Mello had slipped out of Roger's hold, because he towered over me and started kicking me in the side. I tried to avoid the attacks, but it was no use. He was now pinning me down with his foot, and punching me with his hands. He landed a few blows to my face, but he abruptly stopped. I stood up and ran down the hall before he could do anymore damage.

MATT POV

I heard a thump as Near fell to the ground. I was watching from the corner of my eye. Mello was beating the crap out of the poor kid. I still hated Near, yeah, but I knew if Mello didn't stop, he would get in trouble, maybe get kicked out. Watari had threatened to send Mello packing if he kept acting on impulse, and right now was pretty impulsive. I looked up from the ground, still crying, but starting to calm down a bit. I watched for a minute as the fight carried on. I caught a glimpse of Near's fucked up face, and a hole formed in my stomach. I was just sitting here, watching an eleven-year-old get beat up for an accident. I pushed my goggles out of my mind and tried to make eye contact with Mello. The adults struggled to control my blonde friend, but it was of no use. 

Just as Mello was about to deliver the finishing blow that would knock Near out for sure, he looked at me staring at them. I shook my head, telling him not to. He was either confused, or got the message, because he stopped with his fist still in the air, giving Near time to run. 

I looked back at the ground as I heard the commotion with Mello and the adults. I felt someone sit down next to me and put their hand on my back. "Let's go, Matt," I looked next to me to see Mello. "I'll help you to our room." He stood and helped me up. 

MELLO POV

We walked through the empty halls of Wammy's Orphanage. I was helping a trembling Matt turn corners, seeing as his vision was pretty bad (yes, pun intended :D). When we made it to our room, I set him down on my bed, which was closest. He fell asleep almost instantly. I cuddled up next to him and stroked his soft hair. I fell asleep soon after. 

MATT POV

I woke up, my eyes tired. "M-Mello?" I couldn't make out the figure next to me. 

"You're awake," he said, sitting up. "I'm sorry about yesterday..." I rubbed my eyes and felt them water up. 

"Can we maybe talk about this later?" I said. He brought me into a hug. I squeezed him back. We pulled away making blurry eye contact. I leaned in and we kissed. I loved Mello. We pulled away and I lied back down. "I'm gonna go back to sleep." I said. He stood up. 

"Okay," he went to a cupboard to grab some chocolate, not remembering he was out. I faked being asleep before he could get mad again. He groaned, seeming to remember. I tried not to smile as he stormed out of the room to get some.

*Hey guys. Sorry for the short chapter. It's 1 a.m. and I'm tired. I've also got some writer's block, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Maybe some suggestions? Idk. I don't think there are enough people reading this to ask for suggestions. I might be a little late updating for a bit cuz school is starting soon soooo... yeah...*
