Pairing: Mello x Raito

Rating: Hmmm, PG? PG-13 perhaps?

Spoilers: Spoilers for Mello's real name, spoilers for the 8-9th book.


"That's right. I am Kira. So, are you going to kill me?"

"No, I plan on using you as a tool." replied a voice, muffled by the buzzing of their motor bike. Their hood covered their face, but Raito could tell who it was. He knew. By the way his voice was low and slightly cracked, and by the way he snapped off a piece of his chocolate bar.

Raito knew this was Mello.

"Is that so? And what makes you think you can use me without me fighting back?" Raito grinned cynically. He touched the notebook as if he were about to use it, but drew his hand back, as if deciding he wouldn't. Mello took his hood off, revealing a pink scar that had formed across his face from the explosion he had caused. Raito lifted his hand to Mello's face and traced the scar with his fingers.

"Don't touch me." Mello growled coldly. Raito was taken aback. "Mihael..." he whispered, "where has my Mihael gone?" he tilted his head to the side. The pitter patter of rain droplets started. A rain droplet, or was it a tear? dripped down Raito's warm face. "Where have you been?" he was crying. Mello could hear the wimpers and could feel the tears running down Raito's face. He wiped them away.

"Don't cry, Raito. Don't cry. I was gone, but now I'm back." he gently hugged Raito a tear escaped, then no more fell.


Does anyone have a better name for this? Oh, and it's supposed to be short. I'm like, the first person to publish a MelloxRaito fic. How disappointing.

Have you guys noticed what a player Raito is?

MatsudaxRaito, LxRaito, MelloxRaito... Pretty much all of my fics have Raito in them.
