As you saw Misa walk towards you with Mello's boot, You started to blush uncontrollably.

You knew you had no choice but to play, since there was no point in arguing with Misa. It's not worth her whining and tantrums.

"Go ahead, _____, chose," Misa said, encouraging you. "Don't be shy."

Truth was, you were shy. and nervous. The last thing you wanted to do was play some silly game and embarrass yourself.

But you dug through the old boot anyway, pulling out a thick paper cup.

"Hey! It's my coffee cup!" Matsuda said cheerfully. And then he saw you. "O-oh. Uh, h-hey _____ you p-picked me. Haha."

He was nervous too. That eased your shyness. It was also very cute when Matsuda blushed.

"Oh, Matsuda, while your up, could you get me a cup of coffee?" Light asked him.

'Gee, a please would definitely be a nicer approach,' you thought. 'Better yet, get it yourself.'

But Matsuda was used to this treatment.

"Yes Light. Wait here _____ I'll be back," Matsuda said disappointingly. He took the paper coffee cup from your hands and got some coffee. "Here."

"Mmm," Light hummed, taking a sip of coffee without even a 'thank you' or anything.

Matt smirked. "Enjoying Mello's foot sweat?"

Mello sprang up. "HEY!"

This little comment made Light spit coffee all over Near and L's white shirts, spotting them with little brown dots.

"MATSUDA YOU IDIOT!" Light screamed at him.

Being the shy person that you are, you are also very quiet. You grabbed Matsuda's hand and dragged him into the empty room you were supposed to stay in together for seven minutes. After all, you were still playing the game.

Matsuda let out a long sigh and went to lay on the bed.

"What does a guy do to be accepted around here..," Matsuda said, talking to himself, obviously.

You decided to mimic his actions and let out a long sigh. then you went to lay next to him.

"Oh... I don't know... Try not to take their coffee orders too seriously?" You say in reply.

"O-oh. H-heh. I was j-just talking to myself. Y-you didn't need to answer that __-_____," Matsuda sat up
suddenly, embarrassed that you caught him talking to himself.

"I know."

You sat up with him and decided to put your arms around his waist as an attempt to hug him. You don't know when you decided to do it, but just felt like somebody needed a huggy wuggy.

"Huh- Hmm."

Matsuda pulled you closer to him and hugged you back. It's a miracle how shyness is melted with hugs.

"I'm sorry, Matsuda. I feel bad for the way everyone treats you. They think you're stupid or something," you brush your hand against his cheek.

Matsuda's face gets warm. "No i-it's nothing really."

"Relax Matsuda," you say. "It's alright. I know how you feel...."

You turn so your eyes meet. He brushes a piece of hair out of your face before slowly bringing you in for a kiss....

Just then you hear a knock on the door. "Hey Matsuda? It's me, Light. Uh. Sorry. For earlier. By the way, seven minutes passed."

'FOR ONCE HE ACTUALLY SAYS SORRY BUT AT THE WRONG TIME,' you think. "LIGHT, YOU'RE AN IDIOT."

"Light you idiot!" Matsuda read your mind. "I might as well just have to take a gun and-"

"Calm down Matsuda. C'mon the others are waiting," you drag him out of the room, smiling.

"Thanks for trying to make me feel better, _____," Matsuda whispered in your ear.

In the end, risking embarrassment was worth it.
