Summary
Things at Wammy's could be kind of overwhelming.
The kids were messy and chaotic, and overly friendly yet cruel at the same time, not to mention hard to read, and Matt just didn’t have the energy to deal with that kind of thing. Combined with the shared spaces where both the space itself as well as the people in it were overloading him with information, he felt like he was in his own personal hell. Everyone and everything was too much all at once.
Everyone except for Mello.
Mello was bold and loud and vibrant, always demanding everyone’s attention be on him. When he entered a room, he walked in like he was convinced he was the most important person there. All the other details in that room became insignificant all of a sudden, because he was there, and that was all anyone needed to focus on.
This didn’t mean Matt didn’t still prefer looking at his feet, or covering his eyes with his bangs, it just meant the world was a little less loud when Mello was there, because Mello would always be louder still.

Or: Mello gifts Matt a pair of goggles to help make the world seem a little less overwhelming, and Matt thinks he might just have fallen in love in the process.
