I do not own Death Note

A/N: This little project of mine is centered around Matt. There is plenty of Boy's Love going on in this story so if it's not your cup of tea, then don't drink the tea (don't read)… Enjoy!

The light tapping on the door forced his eyes open. He couldn't remember falling asleep but that didn't surprise him, he had stayed up the whole night before beating a game that was sent to him by the development team at EA. It only took him 17 hours to conquer the supposedly 35 hour long game, a new record. The redhead stared thoughtfully up at the dreadfully white ceiling. He laid there trying to figure out just how he got back to his room. Before, he was in the common area with Mello and Near, he could easily picture Mello screaming at Near over some trivial matter.

Firmer knocking arose from his bedroom door. He sighed heavily and strained slightly to lift his tired body off the bed. Who would be bothering him now? Mello would normally just walk right in without knocking. There's no way it could be Near, what use could Matt possibly be to the number one ranked student here at Wammy's House? It was midevening so Roger shouldn't be calling him for anything…

"Matt… please, open the door," the gamer perked up his ears at the sound of that familiar voice. Something is wrong. Matt ran to the door in a panic, why did Mello knock? Why does he sound so… broken?

Without a second thought, Matt ripped open the door and standing in the hall was a very distressed blonde. Mello kept his head down and his eyes fixed to the floor. "Please just let me in. I won't do anything weird. I promise." His voice was dripping with pain and regret.

Matt stepped aside to allow his companion to enter his room. Mello hesitated for a second, then took one cautious step forward. Then another. Matt moved to shut the door behind him, "It'll be easier on me if you leave that open," Mello barely got his voice to a whisper.

"Um… Ok then," the redhead slowly backed away from the door. He was completely confused. 'What's going on Mello?' He mentally pleaded. After a while it seemed obvious either Mello couldn't read his mind or was choosing not to. "What do you want, Mello?" 'That came out harsher than it was supposed to.' Matt made his way over to his bed, the only available place to sit in his small room.

Mello flinched and turned his back to his friend, "I'm sorry, I just… I just wanted to… I'm sorry." His shoulders slumped and his voice caught, "I told you before, I'm almost 15 so I'll be leaving here soon."

A million thoughts ran through Matt's mind in that one second. 'Leaving? Forever? Soon? Why? Don't! You can't! Don't leave me alone!' Thousands of voices screamed in his head at once. It took every fiber of his being to keep still. Mello was on the edge right now and there was no way he'd be the one to push his best friend over it. "When?"

"As soon as possible."

"I'm coming with!"

Mello shot around, his eyes were huge. Everything about him gave away his thoughts. He hadn't expected Matt to even miss him, let alone volunteer to go with. Panic and confusion danced across his eyes. "… You… I just… WHAT!?" He was on the verge of tears and Matt knew he had to act quickly.

He pushed himself off the bed and wrapped his arms around the blonde in one fluid motion. He felt the smaller boy flinch under his touch. 'Just bear with it for a little while, Mello.' He gently squeezed the awkward figure in his arms. He had never tried touching Mello in any unnecessary way, and now the heat between them was sucking him in. He tightened his hold and pulled that feeling closer to his body until his heart felt like it was on fire. 'Was Mello always this warm?' He took a deep breath to clear his mind, but the smell of chocolate was intoxicating. He brought his face closer to Mello's neck and inhaled again. 'This smell… it's so good.'

"No," the quiet words brought him back to reality, followed by a hard push to get free. "No… Matt, if you do that I'll…"

"Huh...? What just…? Huh?" Matt's senses were elsewhere right now. All he knew was one minute he was in heaven and the next he felt completely empty. "If I… You'll what?"

Mello's eyes went wide, "You're being weird, I'll come back later." He turned towards the door but before he could take a single step Matt nonchalantly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back to their previous position like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"If I hold you like this, tell me, what would you do?" His voice sounded almost dangerous. He slid his free arm around the blonde's waist and pulled him closer. "What are you thinking?"

"I would do this," Mello easily broke free from his captor and practically threw him onto his own bed. "Don't get cocky with me, Matt!" '… He's pissed,' the redhead realized.

"You," Mello hissed as he placed a knee beside his victim, "Are a pain. I came here because I thought you were mad at me, but it was quite the opposite." He continued his climb and kissed Matt hard, forcing him to lie down on the bed completely. Matt's heart caught on fire again, a slow, painful, beautiful feeling. It consumed all his thoughts and all his reason. Mello kissed him harder and forced his tongue in. The sudden sweet taste broke him out of his trance and he started to fight back. They wrestled for dominance but Matt quickly gave up when Mello put his hand up the redhead's shirt. His whole body was on fire now! The light tapping on the door forced his eyes open. He couldn't remember falling asleep but that didn't surprise him, he had stayed up the whole night before beating a game that was sent to him by the development team at EA. It only took him 17 hours to conquer the supposedly 35 hour long game, a new record. The redhead stared thoughtfully up at the dreadfully white ceiling. He laid there trying to figure out just how he got back to his room. Before, he was in the common area with Mello and Near, he could easily picture Mello screaming at Near over some trivial matter.
