Robots, Games And Chocolate

( A Week later)

Matt was in the common room trying to concentrate on his hand-held. But not really able to pay that much attention to it. ‘Near hasn’t spoken to me once since that night. And Mellos been acting different. he slept with me then ordered me out of his room.’ Frowning to himself Matt switched off his handheld.
Matt looked around the common room. ‘Both Near and Mello were called to Roger’s office... they’re still not out’ Looking out the window Matt just sat there.

(Meanwhile)

Roger had just finished telling Mello and Near that they’re Mentor L and Watari had been Killed by the Japanese serial murderer Dubbed Kira.
Mello has reacted badly as expected, shouting out his anger and disbelief.
Near never said a word just paused in solving his puzzle ‘He can’t be dead’ Near thought to himself.
“As L never choose a successor, and you two are the top 2 in the house maybe you could work together” Roger said quietly watching them both carefully.
Mello had a wide-eyed look on his face.
“I do not mind” Near said, Already solving his puzzle again.
Mello looked from Near back to Roger “No way. i’m out of here.”
“Mello you can not ..” Roger started
“I’m nearly 15, I’ll solve this on my own just you see. “ Mello slammed his fists down on the desk before storming out of the office. Slamming the door behind him.
Near Looked sadly over his shoulder before looking to the floor.
“If that was all Roger.” Picking up his puzzle Near turned and walked out the office. walking towards the stairs. Inside the office Roger sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose.

Glancing into the common room he saw Matt sat at the window staring blankly outside. Pausing before turning and continuing upstairs.
Walking down the corridor to his room Near shut the door locking it behind himself, Walking a few steps into the room before sinking to the floor as the tears started silently rolling down his cheeks.

(A few hours later)

Matt knocked on Mello’s door before entering. looking around he saw Mello packing a small over shoulder bag.
“What’s going on? “ Matt asked walking closer to Mello.
“Matt.” Looking from Matt back to his back Mello continuing packing few bits before zipping the bag up. Looking back to Matt “I’m leaving Wammy’s”
“Why? what did Roger say. he can’t send kids away that’s L and Watari’s job.” Matt almost shouted.
“I wasn’t asked to leave Matt.” sighing to himself Mello sat down biting into the chocolate in his hand “An announcement is going to be made to the house later. Watari and L they’re dead... I’m going after Kira alone, Roger won’t help” Mello said calmly. ‘Please don’t question this Matt’
“Then i’ll come to i’ll help you.” Matt asked almost pleadingly
“No Matt you’re staying here. Roger won’t let you leave you’re to young and i Don’t need anyone’s help. Not Rogers. Not Cuetips and Not YOURS”
Matt flinched at Mellos tone and the words.
“You used me... I was just nothing a fuck toy in place of him.” Matt whispered out
Mello stood Placing a sealed envelope on his bed. walking to where Matt was standing “Good bye Mail. was fun.” Mello smiled sadly
“No i won’t let you do this alone... you can’t your to young to become L” Matt shouted out clinging to the blonde shirt.
Mello sighed before pulling Matt into a deep kiss. Pulling back and whispering “Forgive me” Before punching Matt hard knocking him out.
Crouching down, “I am sorry Matt but i have to do this “ Stroking Matts hair from his face, Mello stood grabbing his Bag walking out of the room and down the hall...

(In Near’s room)

Near had moved to his window, Sitting on the sill listening to Mello and Matt’s voices through the wall.
Hearing the door of Mello’s room opening and closing. He returned his attention to outside. Staring at the dark and rainy streets below.
Suddenly he saw a figure walking down the driveway.
‘Mello you’re really going’ Near thought sadly
As Mello reached the other side of the gates he looked back to the house.
Near stared as Mello was illuminated under the street lamp.
He watched Mello smile and make the sign of the cross before lifting his hood and walk away.
Near frowned as the tears once again began falling.
