Oh lordy mama! I havent written anything in AGES!
This is basically the first of 26 mini fics, one for each letter of the Alphabet.
All death note, some will be mature yaoi so if you dont like yaoi, you can PM me and ask which ones are not, so you can read those (if you want to)
This one isnt by the way..xD
A is for... Angel
There was a scream as a leather-clad figure tumbled somehow gracefully over the cliff edge, Matt watched, stunned as Mello fell. Then fell to his knees, his head in his hands as he cried for the friend he had lost.
Years of tears and laughter and fun and games... gone... in a matter of mere seconds.
Gone.
Even now, three years on, Matt woke up screaming from the nightmares that had plagued him since his friends death.
Because he used to think that he couldn't live without Mello, and he was right.. he wasnt living.
In three years, Matt had lost weight, become an alcoholic and spend most of his time playing his games and wasting his once perfect life away. He hardly left the house, and never saw his old friends. In fact, he only ever went out once a month to buy new games, ciggerettes and to pay the bills and visit Mellos grave.
He had been pronounced dead at the scene, the police looked at the sobbing Matt with pity and uncertainty in there eyes. The redhead knew they thought he had pushed him but he didnt care. He didnt care if he went to jail for not being able to stop Mello from commiting suicide...
If anything, he almost willed it. He deserved it.. he should have tried harder to stop him...
Thats why Matt decided to go today, he sighed as he paused his current game, another meaningless one that he didnt even know the name of anymore. He vaguely remembered a time when his games were actually important to him.
The graveyard where Mello was buried was only a five minuite walk from Matts house, the tombstone was a small one, just under an old withered oak tree as Mello wished.
A simple epitaph was carved:
Miheal "Mello" Kheel
Age 20
Matt sniffed as he brushed dust away from the precious area where the tombstone lay, his shoulders slumped as he realised that Mello would have wanted him to be happy...
"I'm sorry Mells" he whispered "I just cant"
"You have to try"
Tears cascaded down the redheads cheeks as he shook his head, feeling a hand on his shoulder.
"Matty.. please? Try to get your life back on track... for me?"
Matt nodded, raising a hand to wipe away his tears and looked behind him.
The man who was once his life had truly gone now, but he had been there.
Matt smiled softly to himself, touching the two feathers before picking them up and putting them in his pocket and walking home.
Please tell me if it epically failed. I really do hope it didnt.
Reveiws are gold so please give!
~ Thanks for everyone who nagged me to get writing again!
