I layed the badly burnt and bandaged Mello on the couch in our apartment. Blowing up the hideout was not the smartest move, but knowing Mello, It probably saved his life. Or at least brought him closer to solving the Kira Case. MY question was how his hair went untouched. I sat down on the chair and started playing a video game. It wasn't long until Mello woke up. "Ma-aatt..." he moaned. "Uh, yeah, just a minute. I got you some pain killers," I said. "Ngh," He grunted in reply. I grabbed the pills and filled a glass with water. I brought it over to Mello. He took the pills with his non-burnt arm. Though that arm was not burned, I could tell that any movement at all pained him. "Go back to sleep now. You need it," I said as gently as I could. "Hngh, I'll try, but it hurts..." He replied. he had a pained expression on his face, and he was sweating. "I know it hurts," I said, trying to be comforting, but the pain killers will kick in soon, then you'll be able to get to sleep." "ngh, if you say so.." He said. I sighed as I sat back down in the chair. this was going to be a long day.
"Ma-aatt... I feel sick..." I heard Mello moan from the living room as I was in the kitchen getting something to eat. "That's a side effect of your pain killers. If you want, you can take some anti-nausea stuff," I called. "O-okay..." Mello called back to me. After he took the pills, he was finally able to sleep.
After about a week or two, Mello was able to to move around more, and it was easier to do things for himself. He was, however, still in a lot of pain. "Mels! The water's ready for your bath!" I called from the bathroom. "Yeah, yeah, I'm comin!" Mello replied, slowly getting up from the couch. When he got in the bathroom, I started to unbutton his black pajama shirt. "I can get it myself." He said, swatting my hands away. He stripped down to his boxers, and I took the bandages off of his burns. "Now turn around until I get into the tub." he said. "Sheesh, we're both guys. And it's not like I'm gay." I said, turning around. "Augh, why is it so freezing?" He asked. "It's not freezing, it's lukewarm. Hot water will hurt your burns." I replied. I heard a splash, then Mello said "Okay, I'm in." I knelt next to the tub and picked up a sponge. "I can do it myself." He said, grabbing the sponge out of my hands. "at least let me wash your hair, you need two hands for that." I said, gesturing to his burnt arm. "Fine," He sighed.
After he was dressed and freshly bandaged, Mello went to bed. I stayed up playing video games.
When I got up in the morning, Mello was still in his room. Sleeping, probably. I didn't wake him up. he needed his sleep. While he slept, I made breakfast. I tried to, anyway. I didn't usually cook. Not long before breakfast was ready, Mello came out. "Hey Mels. How's your burn?" I asked. "It's getting better. I can barely feel it." He replied. "That's good. I made you breakfast. It's a little burnt though." I said, putting the plate of eggs in front of mello. "Matt?" He asked. "Yeah?" I replied. "Thanks." He said. "No Problem," I said, "Eggs are pretty easy to make." Mello chuckled. "I don't know what I would do without you, Matt." He said.
