Mello tilted his head forward and pressed a soft peck onto Matt's lips. "I love you Matty."
Matt stared in quiet shock, then a pleased grin broke across his face. "I love you too Mels."
Mello suddenly stabbed Matt in the ribs, a smirk taking over his features.
Matt flinched, gasping sharply, eyes trailing to look at Mello's.
"Wh..." Mello's eyes flashed with something not quite sane as he stared coldly at Matt.
Matt stared at Mello in hurt shock. "Why Mello... I thought you said you loved me?" Matt questioned as the pain from the wound began to tear through his body like fire.
"I do love you, but defeating Near is more important than anything. Even you, you are just getting in the way now." Mello replied cooly. Matt's eyes widened more, the wound burning enough and making it difficult to breathe...
"But you said--"
"Mail, I know what I said, but," He twisted the blade slightly to the left as he spoke, "you know how important this is to me, and you wouldn't want to get in my way, would you?"
The disturbing evil stayed in his eyes, and looked so unnatural, Matt was speechless.

Matt could feel his blood trickling hotly down his side. Mello had probably hit a lung, judging by the fact that breathing was becoming difficult. But none of that mattered to him. Matt was more concerned with the look in Mello's eyes.
This was not his Mello. Sure, Mello could be extreme sometimes, but he would never resort to this. Not against Matt at least. Well, that was what Matt had always told himself, but now staring into those cold eyes, he wasn't so sure any more. Out of all fifteen years that Matt had known the blonde, he'd never been hit by him. Sure, he'd seen Mello hit almost everyone he came in contact with, except for him.
Still trying to figure out the look in Mello's eyes, his mind became foggy, his eyes blurred and feeling dizzy.
He opened his mouth to speak, but found himself unable to, only a choked sound coming out from his throat.
Mello slowly slid the knife out before jamming it back, another more twisted smirking showing.

"I'm sorry about his Matt, I really am. But it has to be done. You're the only thing standing in my way now." Mello said coldly, absolutely no emotion or pity present in his voice.
Matt opened his mouth to try and speak again, but the pain was overwhelming him. The world around him was starting to turn fuzzy and black. Only one word raced through his mind. Mello...
