Nov 1999


One time, Mello comes into their room, late afternoon.

"Hey."

"Hey."

Mello sits down at his desk, wants to work, and is pretty irritable already. Matt is lying on his bed, completely slanted, and has Pokémon playing loudly. After a while, Mello turns around, super aggressively:

"Go to the common room, I'm trying to work here!"

"You go - library's still open."

"How about YOU go! My homework obviously takes priority??"

"Huh? I live here too, asshole?? I'm allowed to be in our dorm!"

"THEN QUIET DOWN."

"NO."

Mello stands up, looms over Matt threateningly:

"Turn. It. Down."

"no"

Mello reaches for the Gameboy, there's a scuffle.

"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM, MAN"

Mello gets hold of the console, turns it off, throws it into one of his drawers with a >:( face while Matt is just as >:(. They stand there, glaring at each other angrily until Matt either pulls another Gameboy out from some corner of his desk or stomps out of the room empty-handed, loudly slamming the door behind him, muttering "asshole."
