A/N: I wrote this a few minutes ago. I had the idea for a day or so and thought this would be a cute idea, so here. Not much of a point, but here it is anyway. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Death Note or its characters. They belong to Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.


Mello was standing before several of his mafia men, prepared to give them yet more instructions.

"Okay, so I have a plan on how we're gonna take down Kira. What we do is--"

"Hey, Mello?" a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Dammit," he said under his breath, then called, "Matt, what?"

"Come in here, Mello!"

Mello sighed. It was times like this that he wondered why he agreed to let the gamer move into headquarters with him, besides the fact that they had recently started dating. However, the other thugs didn't know that the two of them were dating. The blonde was a little uncomfortable with the thought of them knowing that their leader was gay. "Can't it wait? I'm in the middle of something here..."

"But it's important!" the redhead insisted.

"More important than defeating Kira?" Mello challenged.

"Well...it's not like we're the only ones working on it..."

"What I meant was, defeating Kira before Near, Matt..."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Yeah. Thought so. So as I was saying..." Mello said, turning back to his fellow mafia men. "I believe Kira is just taking a break right now, so we have to take this as an opportunity to--"

"Mello!"

The blonde scowled. "What is it, Matt?!"

"It really is important...could you come in here, pleeease?"

Mello rolled his eyes. "I'm in a meeting right now, Matt..."

"It's okay, Mello," one of the thugs told him. "Look, we don't even know where Kira is right now, so until we figure that out, we've got nothing. Just go see what he wants."

"Fine," he sighed, then headed for the spare room where Matt was staying. When he got to the room, he found himself to be alone. Or so he thought.

"Matt, where are you?" he asked, when the redhead suddenly snuck up on him and grabbed him from behind.

"Hey Mels," he said, his arms around the blonde's waist.

"Um, hi Matt..." Mello said. "So what was so important that you had to tell me?"

"Um, well...I just felt like saying, um..." he started to say, blushing. Then he gave Mello a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "I love you."

Mello stood there for a moment, speechless. Then he chuckled and turned to face Matt. "I love you too, you video-game-addicted geek..."

"And by the way, Mello," Matt added. "I don't really think it matters who gets to Kira first--you or Near, I mean. I know it's important to you, but I don't think you should worry about beating him all the time..."

"And why not?" Mello asked.

"Because, no matter what, you'll always be my number one, Mels." His statement made Mello's cheeks turn a brilliant shade of pink as he softly kissed him again.

Yes, Matt's sappy, somewhat cliché statement was enough to make the tough-guy, leather-clad mafia boss blush. But said mafia boss didn't care whether his thugs saw him right now. All he cared about right now was being in Matt's arms.

A/N: The ending's kinda random and abrupt, I know. I thought about ending it at Matt's "I love you", but I wanted to add more to it. But whatever...I wrote this in like fifteen minutes on a random whim.
