Dragons of Gyran

Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. If I did, the ending would have been way better.

So, this story is about how Matt and Mello meet, become friends, and eventually more. I hope most, if not all, chapters will have humor in them, but so far all I know is what's going to happen in this chapter.

I will avoid saying their actual ages, because in reality they would probably be like 13 and 12 when this happened, and I want them to be older, but that interferes with the timeline. Oh well, what can you do? That's another thing I would change about Death Note if I had written it. I would have had Mello leave Wammy's when he was at least 17.

For once, Mello was finished his homework with time to spare. He had even gone over it. So, he was bored.

He decided to go surf the internet. Why do they call it surf the internet anyway? To make fat geeks feel like they are exercising? He found a free multiplayer game called Dragons of Gyran and decided to check it out.

Registration. Are you over 18 years of age?

... Yes.

Name – Mello

Last Name –

'Damn! What do I put for that?'

Smith

Character type – Elf

Type of Elf – Dark Elf

Hair – Blond

Colour of cloak – Black

Screen Name – BestDarkElfEver

After many more seemingly useless questions, Mello was in. The game gave him 200 points for joining. It asked if he would like to battle monsters to get more points, so he agreed.

Within five minutes, he was level 3 and had 782 points. He kept telling himself it would get harder.

He ran into other players. Some of them offered to sell him things, others wanted to fight him. After a quick look at their levels, he tried his best to get out of any fights. He would have surely lost.

He went into the Elvin Pub to refill his health. While there, he met an interesting Elf. He had red hair, and wasn't talking to anyone. Everyone else in the pub was with someone, sharing information and cheat codes, but not this guy. So Mello decided to talk to him.

BestDarkElfEver – Hey

GamerTillDeath – Hey

BestDarkElfEver – What's up?

GamerTillDeath – Not much. Just playing

BestDarkElfEver – Cool.

GamerTillDeath – So, why are you talking to me?

BestDarkElfEver – I have no clue. Lol, maybe I thought you were hot.

GamerTillDeath – Gay

BestDarkElfEver – It was a joke! And, we're on the internet, so I could be a girl for all you know. Or maybe I am gay!

GamerTillDeath – Ya, I've met a lot of gay guys on this thing. How long have you been playing?

BestDarkElfEver – Just started today. I was finished my homework, so I had nothing to do.

GamerTillDeath – Homework?

BestDarkElfEver – Ya, o wait, fuck! I'm supposed to be over 18!

GamerTillDeath – Lol, don't worry about it. I'm under 18, too.

BestDarkElfEver – Well, how do you know I'm actually under 18? Maybe I'm a 30 year old pedophile looking for 6 year olds.

GamerTilldDeath – Then you would have to be really stupid. First, I'm not 6. Second, if you were looking for 6 year olds, why would you be on a site that's 18 and over?

BestDarkElfEver - ... good point.

GamerTillDeath – I have those. Anyway, I have to go.

BestDarkElfEver – What, trying to blow me off?

GamerTillDeath – Nope. To show it to you, wanna meet here tomorrow, around 7?

Mello smiled. Maybe this game could be fun, after all.

BestDarkElfEver – Sure. Will it be, like, a cyber-date? Is that like cyber-sex?

GamerTillDeath – I knew you were gay. See you then.

Well, he was interesting. He seemed smart, for some reason, like he knew what he was doing. He must have been quite a geek, because his level was 346, but he seemed like a cool one. Wow, a cool geek. There's an oxymoron for you.

Mello would defiantly be logging on tomorrow.

.oOo.

He wasn't paying attention to class all day. All he was thinking about was talking to GamerTillDeath again. He was interesting. Most of the kids in Wammy's were dull, even if they were geniuses. Considering they were all stupid compared to him. Excluding Near, of course.

The day dragged on. He did his best to finish all his homework in class, but he still had a good chunk to do.

When Mello went to the dinning hall, he didn't sit at his normal table. He sat alone, so that he could choke down his food as fast as he could. He tried his best to hide, and half succeeded. Only one of his friends saw him. Kat was his age, with brown hair and black eyes. They had been friends ever since Mello came to Wammy's.

She almost waved at him, but he put a finger to his lips. Kat got the hint and didn't let anyone know he was ditching them for the day.

Rushing to his room and finishing his homework as fast as he could, Mello still just finished when 7 O'clock came around.

He logged on and went to the same bar. He didn't see GamerTillDeath, but he decided to wait for a few minutes.

GamerTillDeath – Awww... you waited for me? That's so sweet.

Mello turned around and saw the red-headed figure. He looked exactly the same as he did last time. Of course he would, it was a game!

BestDarkElfEver – Well, I just couldn't wait to see your beautiful pixilated face again.

Why was he flirting with this guy he had never met?

GamerTillDeath – And here I was, worried you wouldn't show.

BestDarkElfEver – Hey, who was the one that was late?

GamerTillDeath – Lol, sorry. Mom was throwing a fit. I mean, how was I supposed to know that she actually wanted me to do my homework?

BestDarkElfEver – Oh, you live with your mom?

GamerTillDeath – Ya, don't you? I thought you were under 18?

Mello sat back, thinking up an answer. Should he tell him he lived in an orphanage for geniuses? Well, he could just leave out the geniuses part... but then he would probably think he was weird, wouldn't he? Mello had no clue; he had never really spoken to anyone outside any of the orphanages he had been to.

GamerTillDeath – You still there?

BestDarkElfEver – Ya, just talking to my friend on the phone. No, I live with my dad, actually.

GamerTillDeath – Ouch, they're separated? Sorry.

Should he keep on lying? What if he found out?

Wait, this is the internet... how could he find out?

BestDarkElfEver – Ya, but it's no big deal. Happened a long time ago, so I'm over it.

GamerTillDeath – Oh, ok then. So, any gay lovers lately?

BestDarkElfEver – Only you, sweetie.

Why was he still flirting with him? He was sure that if they could, his character would have winked with that last comment!

GamerTillDeath – How do you know I'm not taken already?

BestDarkElfEver – Are you? By who?

GamerTillDeath – Apparently by you. Lol.

BestDarkElfEver – Haha, and you said I was the gay one?

GamerTillDeath – You called me sweetie!

A lot of mindless flirting continued. It was all for fun, and even if it wasn't, the internet made it so that it didn't matter!

GamerTillDeath – So, are you a virgin?

Mello was surprised by the question. It had come from no where. But, he answered it honestly.

BestDarkElfEver – No. But, it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

GamerTillDeath – Were you doing it right?

BestDarkElfEver – She sure said so.

GamerTillDeath – She? Well, no wonder! You're gay, so you have to do it with a guy! Lol

BestDarkElfEver – That must have been my mistake. So how about you? You a virgin?

GamerTillDeath - ;) Nope

BestDarkElfEver – How many girls?

GamerTillDeath – gulp, um, only one...girl...

BestDarkElfEver – Only one girl? So you're bi?

GamerTillDeath – No, I'm gay. Except for when I'm drunk, apparently. That's what happened with the girl. I hope you're not creeped out, or anything.

BestDarkElfEver – No, I'm not homophobic. And it's better to know now than if we, like, meet or anything.

GamerTillDeath – Lol, you wanna meet?

BestDarkElfEver – IDK, I'm just saying IF

Damn, what was he doing? He was saying that he might want to meet a gay guy who he met on the internet, and who he had been flirting with!

Mello looked at the clock and groaned. Midnight already!

BestDarkElfEver – K, well I have to go. It's midnight where I am.

GamerTillDeath – Ya, here too. Kk, want to meet tomorrow, same time, same place?

BestDarkElfEver – Love to. Until then, I'll see you in my dreams!

GamerTillDeath – Are you sure I'm the only gay guy here?

So, I hope you all liked the first chapter! I'm not going to tell you who the mystery gamer is. If you can't figure it out, then there's no help for you. It should be really obvious.

Anyway, sorry for anything about the RRPG that may seam weird. I don't really play these games, so the accuracy might be off, no matter how much schoolgirl-cheesesculpture helps me.

But, I'm going to do some research on Runescape, so wish me luck!
