Mello chuckled, "Geez, Matt. You still know how to flirt with me after all these years."
Matt giggled. "To the last detail."
Mello sniffed inside the white box. "Aaah..soft centers, fruit chews, nut crunches, nougats, it's all so intoxicating..." "In that case, eat up. Maybe I'll get lucky." The two laughed. "Thanks, Matt. You know I can't have a bad day when you're around." Matt gave him a peck on the cheek. "That's sweet of you." "I know, I need to stop doing that.." More laughter followed. A kiss. "Love you." "Love you too." "Look after Near while I'm gone." "You know I will." "Bye." "Bye." The red-haired figure walked out of the apartment and into the sun.
Three months later, Mello nodded at the two ambulance workers, and they lifted the body into the back, wheeling away all the happiness in Mello's life. "I'm so sorry, Mello." L put a hand on the rain-soaked man's shoulder. "I can't imagine what this is like for you." Mello said nothing. L sighed and shook his head. "Mello, go home and get some rest. Tomorrow, you get the day off. I'll take Near and Micheal, if you want." The scarred figure looked up at him, and L couldn't tell which droplets on his face were Mello's own tears, or the tears of the heavens in the rainy nightfall. "Thank you, Ryuzaki." Mello drove home, his thoughts heavy with grief. When he got home, he slipped in to his bed and curled up in the sheets assuming a fetus position. There came a gentle knock at the door. "Come in, kids." A small brown-haired toddler got up on the bed. "Papa, what happened to Daddy?" "He's gone, Micheal." "Why did Daddy leave us?" "He didn't. He was stolen." THE END!
