Falling

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.

Matt leaned against the window of his red convertible. Suddenly, a black motorcycle pulled up to where he was parked, and the driver, who was wearing a black leather suit and a motorcycle helmet, knocked on the car door window. Matt slowly rolled down the window.

''Yes?'' he asked warily, for fear that it was one of Takada's bodyguards. He started to reach for the gun that he kept in the glove compartment. ''No need for that,'' the mysterious figure told him, reaching through the window and firmly grasping the gamer's hand, leaving him unable to move. The person then removed his helmet. Matt's emerald eyes widened. ''Mello…'' he whispered breathlessly.

''What the hell?'' Matt got out of his car. ''You totally scared the crap out of me, Mello! What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to kidnap Takada? You might get caught if-'' Matt's words were cut off as Mello placed a gloved finger on his lips, motioning for him to be quiet. 'What is he doing?' Matt wondered, as Mello drew his finger away.

He looked up at him, blushing. ''Mello, what was the meaning of-'' The gamer was then cut off by his partner once more, except it wasn't because Mello's finger had interrupted him again, but because, at that very moment, Mello placed his hands on Matt's cheeks and kissed him.

It was a gentle kiss, a loving kiss. Matt could've sworn his heart was beating a thousand times faster than it should. He looked into Mello's deep azure eyes. '' Mello, I don't get it. Why?'' ''Psh. Cuz' I love you, idiot.'' Matt looked away, his face burning. 'Why? Why do I always feel like this around him? I feel like I'm falling from a great distance….' Matt suddenly fell towards Mello, embracing him tightly.

''Huh?'' Mello's eyes widened, and he looked down at Matt. ''Matt? Are you okay?'' The gamer slowly looked up, and for a long moment, their gazes met. Icy blue against intense green. ''Mello, don't kidnap Takada.'' Mello was taken back. ''Why? I thought you agreed that it was a good plan.'' ''It is a good plan, but…'' Mello patted his dark red hair. ''Don't worry Matt, I'm totally gonna kick Kira's ass. There's no way I'm gonna die or anything.''

'You don't know that!' Matt screamed inside his head, again feeling as if he was falling, always falling, never reaching the bottom. 'What if you really do die?! Then what do you expect me to do?! Don't you care about me?!'' Matt wanted to unleash all his anger and fury at Mello.

But instead, he forced a smile, and said. ''Y-yeah…Kira doesn't stand a chance against you…'' He laughed uncertainly. Mello grinned. ''Well I gotta go!'' He put his helmet back on. ''Goodbye, Matt. See you soon.'' Then he was gone, away on his motorcycle, completely unaware of his companion's feelings.

Tears formed in Matt's eyes. ''See you soon….Mello.''
