Author's Notes: So, I was bored and listening to music and decided that I should find some sort of music-related writing meme as I have a terrible case of writer's block for my other project ''Splitting Atoms". So this is to keep my wheels turning until I can write that story again. Oh! And it's totally for my friend Alex. Because it is. XD Enjoy!

Sometimes it felt like it was them against the world.

Certainly, it had felt like that as boys; they could trust only each other, and no one else. One was rarely seen without the other. And if you said one of their names, it felt odd if you didn't add the other's. Under the pressures of the Orphanage, it certainly felt like all they had were each other.

And now, years later, it was practically fact. It was them against the world. Just because Near was working towards the same goal, didn't mean that they were in the fight together, and Kira was gaining more and more supporters each day. They were just two men fighting against overwhelming odds as best as they could.

There were times Mello wondered if it was possible, after the whole mess was over, for he and Matt to just fade into anonmity. To go to place untouched by Kira and simply be two men that loved each other with every breath they took.

He hoped that someday it could happen.

For right now, it was all about their struggle.

All about them.
