Katana: Sorry about the late chapter. At college now and between homework and life, I've been obscenely busy. *sigh*. This chapter is dedicated Tsuki Kumori and all my other friends in high school, who helped make my life bearable for the past few years. I love you all more than words can say. Anyhow, enjoy the chapter!

Matt didn't know what to do, he was angry, sad, depressed, excited. He sat up in his bed, then got up and started pacing across his room. He didn't know what he'd do with Mello so far away. He could see him in the fall and spring when the roads where clear and he could take his motorcycle, but what about in the winter? He didn't have a car! How long was the winter, November to February? Four months? 4 months of no Mello. Four months with no one to talk to, to annoy. Four months without his best, and truly only, friend.

He stopped pacing and sighed, he knew this was coming this was coming ever since they'd first met. Mello was a year ahead of him. That fact was always there, looming over their heads, a dark shadow of truth.

Matt left his room and ran down the hall to Mello's room. The door was unlocked; Mello was sitting on the floor, packing his suitcase.

"You can't go," Matt said, crossing his arms.

"Can and am," Mello replied, not looking up.

"You can't go, not without me. You're bound to shoot someone your first week, if not your first day. What'll you do without me?"

"I guess I'll just have to change," Mello stopped at his task for a second, "Make new friends, a new life."

"And what'll happen to me?" Matt's hands fell limp to his sides.

Mello glared at him, "How the hell am I supposed to know?! Maybe this year will be hell, maybe it'll be great. You'll meet other people. Maybe even get a life, instead of babysitting me all the time."

"I-I don't want to…" Matt looked down at his feet and then sharply met Mello's eyes, "I love you, and unlike you, it's not easy for me to just throw away our friendship. After all we've been through, and all we've done together….Well…I guess I meant nothing to you, but it was EVERYTHING to me! It was all I ever had!" Matt ran out of the room.

Mello looked at his hands and sighed, "You still don't get it do you. It was everything to me too…"

Katana: Sorry this one wasn't funny at all. But I can guarantee this is NOT the last chapter in this series, and Matt and Mello won't be apart for long.  I have the next two and a bit chapters written and will be up as soon as I can get to it! Until next time!
