Author's Note: Well, I realise I'm posting a lot recently, but I came up with the first two lines in English and quite liked the idea, so decided to continue it. Basically, Mello is talking to you about a very important message. Mello first person, little bit of MelloxMatt. Generally Kinda… Angsty happy stuff O.o Depends on perspective.
Warnings: Kinda Angst, lots of death mentions, one drug mention, MelloxMatt, moral messages and fucked up-ness in general. Few swears, including that one.
Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note or its characters, merely my mind, my laptop, and my right to think about fanfiction in English.
Dedicated to: Cazbop, For being the first one I told about my idea XD considering I sit next to her in that lesson.
Prepare to be moral-ed-ed-ed
Tomorrow you will die.
There, now I've got your attention. I'm sorry; perhaps I should've said "Tomorrow you could die". Because you could, you know. Death is an unpredictable bitch at the best of times (but really, I've always admired unpredictability rather than being handed a death sentence, somewhere in a doctor's office), and she could kiss you at any moment.
I think it was last night when I actually realised that I could die. I've never really… Thought about it, you know? Most people seem not to want to. I just had this flash of realisation when I was blinded by the light in my refrigerator coming on, and I felt this pang of… Not fear. Something else. Maybe just pure realisation, all on its lonesome.
I'm not afraid to die.
God you have no idea how good it is to be able to say that and actually mean it. Well, of course, you might do, as I don't know you and you could be reading this perched on top of a very tall building somewhere having taken four shots of Sweet Lady H for all I know…
But I go on too much don't I?
My point is, you could die tomorrow. I know now that I could die any second. It's cool if you think about it. Now I'm really living - Every second could be my last on this Earth, this chocolate bar could be my last, this breath, and this one and this one and…
Don't waste your life. Don't you dare. Not when Kira could get you any second and then that's it. Game over, as Matt would say, and he's reading this over my shoulder now and noruhtfg
… Sorry, that happened in the brief struggle for kisses. And I in was in the serious bit too…
Look, I know I sound like I'm going on far too much, but seriously. Think about it. Life is pretty damn awesome, if you want it to be, and when it's over, it's over. Gone. Finite. Ended.
I guess I'm getting depressing. I don't mean to.
Wow this is bullshit isn't it?
One last thing and then I'm gonna fuck off and leave you to your thoughts. Maybe some of you will even listen to what I've been trying to say, I dunno.
Listen to your heart beating. Listen to it properly, like you never have before. Think of it as the most beautiful sound you will ever be worthy of hearing. It's a good thing, a wonderful thing, to be alive. So cherish it. One day, it'll be your turn to wrap your arms around Death, and when you do, you want to do it with a smile on your face and nothing but good memories in your heart.
... Oh God.
I owe realisation to a fridge lightbulb.

XD what'd you think?
Like it, dislike it?
Let me know, I'm always in the mood for reviews, and I reply to like, every one of the precious things.
And oh, Sweet Lady H is heroin in case anyone didn't get my rather extensive drug slang XD
