Aside from the rummaging and strings of loud, obscene cursing coming out of Viola's room, it was a normal day for Mello and Matt--the redhead playing his video games, and the blonde eating chocolate.
Or at least it WAS a normal day, until Viola burst out of her room, fury flashing in her normally calm hazel eyes.
"MATT! MELLO! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TWO DO WITH MY DVD?!"
Matt paused his game and Mello stopped licking his chocolate bar to look at their flatmate. Matt whimpered in fear and hid behind his older friend, whose eyes were widened in panic.
"DVD? What DV--WHAT THE--YOU PSYCHO BITCH! PUT MATT DOWN!!!"
The tall girl had picked up the (by contrast) much shorter redhead and had him by the neck of his stripy T-shirt. "Tell me where my DVD is," she snarled, "or else."
Mello glared at her scornfully. "Or else what?"
"What did you teach me in the mafia, Mello?! Or have you forgotten already?!"
Oh, crap, Mello thought, her bipolar disorder rears its ugly head again. She tightened her grip on Matt's collar and pulled her jackknife out of her pocket. She pressed its blade against Matt's neck. Matt squirmed in her grasp.
"P-please, Vi," he whimpered. "L-let me go and I'll help you find your D-DVD."
"OK! OK! We'll help you find your DVD!" Mello lifted himself off the couch. "Now, what DVD is it?"
Viola put Matt down and grinned sheepishly. "Um...'Boys Gone Wild Starring Raito Yagami and L Lawliet'." She blushed bright pink. "Raito-kun gave it to me as a present."
Mello's jaw dropped. "You can't be serious."
"I'm afraid I am."
Well, Matt thought, that certainly explains why she's been so hot and bothered lately.
