Seen and Unseen

Chapter 2,
The next morning, Near and Matt were woken up rudely by Mello. The blond walked in, completely naked, slamming open the doors. His milk white skin on his face was ruined by blackened flesh on the left side. He glared at them as he moved to grab his clothing.
"Get dressed. We're going to get you clothing. You are going to need them since you'll be living here from now on."
Near practically jumped out of the bed and screamed as the scabs from his whipping reopened. Matt looked up tiredly. His gaze flicked to Near worriedly. Their hands were still intertwined.
"You two better be dressed when I get back from my bath."
He turned and left, slamming and relocking the doors again. Near cried silently as the blood from his open wounds dripped down his back. Matt squeezed his hand in a reassuring way.
Mello hurried to the large ten person tub in the master bath where L waited for him. He ran into his open arms, nuzzling his neck.
"This will fix it, right L? I'll be beautiful again?"
"Yes my dear treasure. But you will always be beautiful to me. No matter what."
He looked up, placing his hand over the left side of his face.
"Come my child. It is time to bathe." He led Mello to the tub.
Mello stepped in and looked to L with a flirty smile. "Come join me?"
"Of course my dear treasure."
The blond smiled as he moved a bloody hand up and touched L's cheek. L smiled back as he slid into the bath as well. This was his quality time with Mello, for the blond was usually with B.
"What are we doing tonight?"
"Anything you want, my precious pet."
"I want to take them shopping."
"As you wish, but I am coming with to supervise you."
"How come you and B never let me off?"
"You don't have enough self control yet my darling treasure." L kissed his lips.
"I do so."
The blond pouted as he slowly slid deeper into the blood. It came up to his chin causing his hair to float around his head. The blackened flesh was peeling off to reveal healed scared skin underneath. The good thing about not being a full fae like B and L was that his baths healed whatever damage was done. L kissed Mello's forehead.
"You are so beautiful my treasure," he whispered lovingly into the blond's ear.
"Not like you and B... You two are more beautiful than anyone."
"Not in my eyes, dear treasure. To me you are more beautiful than any work of art."
L tilted Mello's chin up with his finger and placed a kiss on the blond's bloody lips. He leaned up kissing him back. His arms moved from under the fluid to wrap around L's neck as his long slender fingers tangled in silk black hair. The older fae purred into the kiss, running his tongue across the younger's bottom lip. Aquamarine eyes snapped open as he smirked and granted his lover access. The elder swept his tongue through Mello's mouth, claiming the cavern with the muscle. He moved his tongue up to brush over the ridges at the top of his mouth. Mello moaned moving to crawl into L's lap wanting to feel more of the older man.
"My Mihael..."
"Yours..." he panted, rocking his hips to show how aroused he was.
L Thrust up into Mello, not even bothering to prepare either one of them. The blond dropped his head back and let a loud gasping scream fall from his lips.
"L!"
He loved it... It was odd for L to be so rough with him but Beyond had made him used to the harsh penetration. In fact the darker fae commanded that he loved to be taken this way. L kissed down his cheeks and jaw to his neck, sucking and nipping lightly at the pulse points, not being quite so rough with the blond. He hesitated to move his hips for fear of doing something that may hurt the young halfling.
"L…" he moaned as he started raising his hips and dropping down hard and fast. "I'm not glass," he purred.
L moaned, tossing his head back in sheer bliss. The blond smirked as he rolled his hips, grinding down on L's hard shaft. L placed his hands on Mello's hips and thrusted up. He still didn't want to hurt the blond, no matter what.
He moaned loudly, wanting more. "L… You're so…gentle…"
"…Yes…I do not…wish to hurt…aah…you…"
He clenched his inner muscles to bring more pleasure to L. "I'm not glass… I like it rough…" he purred.
"AAAHH!" L moaned loudly, thrusting up into Mello a little harder. It was more from reflex and instinct than anything else. He was beginning to lose control and it was obvious.
Mello moaned loudly as he dug his nails into L's shoulders. His back arched beautifully as he rode the other fae. He called out for more. The elder delivered, thrusting up into Mello with such force it was clear he had lost all self control in the need for release. He reached in between them for Mello's hard member and began pumping it in time with his own thrusts.
The blond moaned loudly as he was touched. He couldn't hold back anymore and came, covering his and L's chests. The older fae thrust a few more times before he came with a loud moan, filling Mello with his sticky heat. He went limp, resting his head on L's shoulder. He clenched his inner muscles just to tease the older fae. L pulled out of Mello and rested against the walls of the tub. He did need to save some of his strength for Beyond later. Plus it would soon be time for the Seelie Court Ball.
"B can't come to the ball with us, can he?" he whispered.
"I don't know. Do you want him to come?" L asked, lightly stroking Mello's cheek with his fingers.
"What I want means little to the Seelie queen. I know he can't come."
"Just as I am not allowed to the Unseelie court ball. But it does not much matter to me or my twin."
"I know…He hates your court. Says it's boring."
"I know my treasure. Now we should go buy your two treasures their clothes."
"Think they'll like my outfit?" He bit his lip, unsure of himself. Humans had never seen him without his glamour and tonight they would see his true self.
"Of course my sweet. It makes you so beautiful Mihael." The fae kissed him on the forehead.
"Not so loud," he hissed. "What if something hears? They could use me against you two…"
"I apologize my treasure. I do not wish you to be used against me at any time." L gave the blond a kind smile and stood. "Come now. We still need to take the other two shopping."
The blond jumped up and dripping blood ran to the room naked. He unlocked the doors and looked at the two still sleeping. "Wake up and get dressed! We're going shopping!"
Matt bolted up, accidently knocking Near onto the floor. The white haired boy cave a cry of protest as the cuts on his back reopened and a little blood began to seep through the bandages Matt had put on him the night before. Matt pulled on his pants and fished out a cigarette. He was in some serious need of a smoke. Mello turned from getting a towel and hurried over to Near.
"Poor thing… Come here and I'll fix it," the blond cooed as he ran his fingers through the white locks. "I have a lot of potions that will help."
Near looked away from Mello, scowling slightly. "I'm fine…" he said in a strained voice that clashed with his words.
"Let me. I don't want it to become infected. L was too hard on you. It was just a little burn."
Near was surprised at how kind Mello was being, since the blond had been a complete ass hole the night before. He bit his lip but allowed Mello to treat the wound.
"I kind of deserved it for hurting you though…"
"I just needed a bath. See? All fixed."
Near looked up into Mello's face and saw that the once blackened left side of his face was now adorned with quite a beautiful dark peach colored scar. Without thinking, the small one lifted a hand and traced his fingers over the scar. He was surprised at how normal it felt. He had always imagined fairies to feel much different than humans but Mello felt just like him and Matt…
"Turn around and I'll kiss it better."
For once he didn't try to resist the blond. He didn't want to for this request, since the older man was being so kind. He turned his back to Mello so he could work on cleaning the wound. The blond pulled the bandages away and kissed each mark. His tongue ran over the marks. Near shivered at the contact. He wasn't used to such feelings quite yet and he bit his lip to keep from voicing just how much he liked this feeling.
Matt simply stood and watched. The red head wasn't sure if he was more jealous of Mello or Near at this moment in time. He closed his bi-colored eyes as he pulled his goggles over them.
The blond pulled back after cleaning the wounds and wrapped his arm around Near's neck. His moon pale skin glowing with his inner power and his dragonfly wings fluttered, catching the light from the large bay window.
"All better?"
Near simply gaped at the blond's beauty. Unable to say a word, he simply nodded.
"Let's get dressed and go shopping. I'll buy you anything you want."
"...Thank you..."
The white haired boy stood and began dressing in his Lolita dress once more. Matt was already finished dressing and started to light his cigarette. Mello stood as well and started getting dressed in his leather. He placed his collar around his neck and gazed at Matt.
"How do I look?"
"Dead sexy... Yet strangely beautiful in an ethereal sense..."
"Big word for a human."
"I have an extensive vocabulary. So what?"
The blond giggled and his form changed and his wings vanished as well as the inner light. The scar disappeared as well. So Near and his grandfather were right about fairies being real...
"I want you to hold my leash," Mello said.
"...O...kay?" Matt asked. He took a long drag from the cigarette and let the smoke out from his nose.
"I'm trusting you to lead me. You have control of me Matty."
The red head shrugged. "Cool."
He took hold of the chain as the three left the room and met up with L in the hallway.
"Are you ready to go, my dear treasure?" he asked Mello.
"Yup. We're all ready to go, but Matt is in charge of my leash."
"As you wish my treasure. But I will still be coming for supervision."
The blond pouted as he draped himself over Matt. "You let me off last night. Why can't we go by ourselves?"
"Because some one needs to make sure you stay out of trouble my sweet. You will not leave without me today," he commanded the blond.
"Fine," he said, moving to go outside.
The car was waiting for them. L went in first followed by Near then Mello and lastly Matt. Mello laid out over one seat alone, stretched out like a wild cat. You could see every muscle under his skin move. Matt licked his lips and he put the cigarette out in the gravel before climbing into the limo. He watched Mello and was glad the tall neck of his vest covered the blush slowly creeping up his cheeks and the lusty look in his eyes was hidden by his goggles.
"Near come sit with me," Mello purred, smiling at the small boy.
Near swallowed hard and bit his lip. Well, Mello had been nice earlier so there couldn't be any harm in it... He moved over and sat next to Mello, not quite sure what else to do. He grinned and sat up, wrapping his arms over him and smiled. The white haired boy stayed still and looked at the floor of the limo. He nuzzled Near's neck as his gaze stayed on Matt. His eyes showed lust and he was showing off for the red head. The red head couldn't help but move to sit on Mello's other side, one hand moving to caress one of those leather clad legs. Mello purred at the contact. He wanted Near to touch him as well. The younger stayed very still, not comfortable with doing anything sexual.
"What are you going to get Near?" the blond asked.
"Some Lolita style dresses I suppose..." He just felt more comfortable in them rather than boy's clothes.
"We need to get some clothes for the ball coming soon."
Near's eyes almost lit up. Because it was a fairy ball he would have to be extremely careful and so would Matt. But he loved to dress up.
"Maybe I can find a corset gown?"
"We need to get something for Matty too."
Matt rolled his eyes. He hated clothes shopping. He would get this done as quickly as possible. In his opinion, his money was better spent on video games and smokes and occasionally booze.
"What about you Matty?"
He shrugged. "Meh. I guess it wouldn't hurt as long as I can get some smokes while we're out. I'm down to my last two."
"We'll get what ever you want."
"Sweet." Matt sat back and put his hands in the fur lined pockets of his vest.
The car stopped and the door opened, letting them out. L stepped out and Mello pulled Matt and Near along.
"Near first!"
The petite boy was excited to be in the shopping district. He loved to go to all sorts of boutiques for whatever suited his fancy. He skipped over to the first Lolita shop he saw and went in, looking at all of the frilly dresses, selecting a few white ones in his size. Some had pink or blue trimming, but all of them were colored lightly. Mello laughed as he followed along.
"Get anything you want. Money is no object right L?"
"That is correct."
Near beamed and selected some accessories to go with all of the dresses and some cosmetics as well. He kissed Near's cheek as they paid and went to another shop of Lolita clothing. Mello fell in love with the kuro and aristocrat clothing. All Near got was the classic, sweet and shiro style. He liked the color white and other light shades. Besides, the somewhat child-like style looked great on him.
"L! He dresses like a doll. I can't wait to get him home. Matty you should get something for the balls."
"Sure whatever."
He looked around, not quite sure what to get and also not quite caring. As long as he didn't have to wear a dress he would be happy. Mello pouted as he paid for their things and pulled Matt into a cyber punk shop.
"Find what you want here. I'll get you some things to try on."
Now this was more his style. The red head still didn't really care what was chosen. He browsed through the shirts, particularly the striped ones, and the skin tight blue jeans. It wouldn't really matter what he got because he would just go with whatever Mello picked out for him. That's usually what he did with Near. All he was concerned with was getting more smokes.
Mello was moving about the store, grabbing clothing and the blond could feel eyes on him. L's and others. Matt moved about with him, half being tugged around by the chain leash in his hand. Near on the other hand stood next to L, holding the dress boxes close to his chest. At the next chance he got, he would have to get some pajamas too... And underwear. The blond pulled Matt over to the dressing rooms.
"I want you to try these on."
"Alright."
The red head took the large bundle of clothes into his arms and went into the fitting rooms. The leash he was still holding pulled the blond in with him. He didn't complain as he was dragged in. He smiled as he leaned against the wall, locking the door behind them.
"Go on, strip. I want you to try them on."
The blond took one of the things, a black and red striped shirt. Slowly he unzipped his vest and shrugged it off to the floor. He then started to slowly unlace his pants. He smirked at Matt as he stood there.
"Come and undo my leash so I can put on my clothes. Or do you want to stare at me all day?"
The red head began undressing himself in front of the blond. "Actually I would rather screw you senseless at the moment."
Mello's mouth spilt into a grin as he reached out and snatched Matt's arm. He pulled him close before dropping to his knees and undoing his pants with his teeth. Matt moaned and his fingers immediately went down to tangle themselves in Mello's hair. The blond smiled as he slowly pulled the red head's pants and boxers down. His tongue slid over the tip of his cock.
"Aah...Mello..." he moaned as his member hardened under Mello's tongue.
The blond smirked, swirling the wet muscle around the hard member. He took just the tip in his mouth, sucking on it. The red head moaned his head flying back to hit the wall of the stall. The blond purred, sending vibrations through him. Outside a few people passed the dressing rooms and giggled. Two girls even glanced to L and Near with knowing looks.
Matt moaned a little louder and bucked his hips into Mello's mouth. He didn't care that they were in a public place. Hell, that just made it all the more exciting and that's just how he liked things. Mello took more and more into his mouth. The blond wanted more of the other. He felt his own power swirl around them. It was so thick even humans could taste it. Mello was slowly losing control.
Near began to wonder just what was going on so he stormed up to the stall that Matt and Mello were in and knocked on the door. "I'm bored! What's taking so long?"
The blond glared at the door as he continued to suck off Matt. Near could wait.
"Not now... Near..." Matt called through the door.
His fingers tightened in Mello's hair, loving how this felt. Near huffed and leaned with his back against the stall door.
"Looks like his owner isn't being nice," a red haired woman said.
L was the next to walk up to the stall door. "Mello you are losing control of yourself in there. Stop it this instant."
Mello was being defiant and smirked as magic coiled around the door so no one could get in.
Near turned and banged on the door again. "I'm sooo boooored! Can we please go?"
The blond pulled away, growling low in his throat. Matt's cock slid from his mouth with a wet pop. "Get dressed," he hissed, starting to pull on his own clothing.
The red head grumbled but redressed. This proved somewhat difficult seeing as he was still fully erect. The blond finished dressing first and undid the magic on the door, opening it to glare at Near. The white haired boy saw the glare and was quick to hide behind L. He was afraid to be hurt again like the night before.
"We're out. Happy?"
Before Near could answer, L slapped Mello across the left cheek.
"Don't you EVER disobey me again, understood?"
The blond smirked as his eyes held an unearthly red hue to them. The elder fae glared at him.
"This is why you can't go anywhere by yourself. You don't have any self control."
"B would have let me finish."
"Can I please just go home?" Near whimpered.
The blond's gaze moved to the small human then back out the window where he smirked.
"You can go home if your grandfather wants you back."
He pointed to an elderly man walking outside. Near looked at what Mello was pointing at and spotted his grandfather. He quickly went to the elderly man beaming brightly.
"Grandfather!"
The fae giggled as he worked his glamour around the boy. He smiled as the once white curls became long dark locks and the skin became tan.
"Grandfather I'm so sorry I didn't make it home last night," Near said when he approached his grandfather.
The old man stood there and stared at the young woman before him. "You must have me mistaken for someone else miss."
"No, grandfather, it's me, Nate. Your grandson!"
"I'm sorry miss but this game isn't funny. I have to go." He turned and walked off.
"But I-!" Near stood in the street, his arm outstretched to his grandfather. "...I was taken by fairies..."
When his grandfather was out of sight, Near's arm fell to his side and he began to cry silently as he trudged back into the shop. L gave Mello a look. The young fae started to laugh as his eyes became a deeper red. They mimicked Beyond's perfectly as he stood there.
"That was cruel, even for you."
"He deserved it."
"No he didn't Mihael. You are being much too harsh on the poor child."
Matt had to agree with L on this. Sure, he was upset that Near had interrupted him and Mello but that didn't deserve such a harsh punishment as that. The red head walked over to Near and wrapped his arms around the boy to try to comfort him. He looked over his shoulder and shot a glare at Mello while Near sobbed into the taller human's chest.
"I thought it was funny." The blond pouted as he was forced to follow Matt.
"You have been spending too much time with B, Mello," L said. It was clear he was upset with the blond for he didn't say, "My treasure."
Mello pouted as he stood and his eyes landed on a pixie selling things. He smiled and pointed at something and the pixie held it up. He nodded and she wrapped it up and snuck it into their bags. This gesture didn't go unnoticed by L. Matt and Near on the other hand didn't notice anything happened. The white haired boy calmed down some minutes later, wiping his eyes.
"Let's keep going," Mello said.
"Ok."
The blond snatched Near's hand and pulled him away from Matt and farther down the street. Stalls and shops were changing, selling more high end items. Mello pulled them into a jewelry shop. Mello went in, dragging them along. Each piece held magic and behind the counter a troll gazed at the two humans. Near's eyes widened at the sight of all the shiny and expensive jewelry. Both pairs of eyes landed on the troll and the younger hid behind Mello while the red head just stood and gawked. The blond pulled away from Near and slinked to the counter. Near squeaked and ran to hide behind L, seeing as Matt had been dragged by Mello's leash.
"Hello Luck. How's Peaches?"
"Great! She's missed you by the way."
"You know they never let me out of the house. Will you two be at the Unseelie ball? I'm going with B."
"We'd never miss it for the world!"
The blond whirled around and snatched Matt forward. "He needs B's crest and the little one needs L's. You remember giving them to me as tattoos right? You wouldn't stop staring at me the whole time."
"Of course. Do you want to give them the tattoos or the pendants?"
The blond turned to face the two humans. "Your call boys. Tattoos or pendants?"
"I'll go for the tatt," Matt said, raising his hand. It would be cool and he kind of enjoyed the pain. Near on the other hand hated pain and asked for the pendant.
"Pendants for both. I want a matching set." Mello grinned as he looked back to the troll.
"Of course." Luck grinned and went to the back. "Um… I can get the tattoo later, right?" Matt couldn't help but ask.
"Only if Near gets one."
Matt looked to Near. The petite boy shook his head pleadingly and the red head slumped. He wouldn't put Near through something he didn't want. "Fine…Just the pendant…"
Mello turned back to the counter just as the troll came back with two silver pendants. One was a gothic B and the other an L. "Thank you Luck! They are beautiful as always."
"Anything for a good friend!" Luck smiled at Mello. "But you will still have to pay for them. Nothing in this shop is free after all."
"You should know I always pay. B. B. gave me a purse of gold just for your shop," Mello said, giggling. He placed a bag of gold coins on the counter before leaning up to kiss the troll's cheek. "Luck, you have the devil's hand and I his tongue."
"Yeah, yeah." Luck quickly snatched the purse up from the counter top. Pink slightly colored his cheeks. The blond giggled again as he handed the pendants to the humans.
"Luck, does Peaches know you like staring at my ass?"
The troll became slightly flustered but soon regained his composure. "If you think you're going to black mail me with that, think again."
Near stayed where he was behind L as he placed the pendant around his neck. Matt simply stared at the shining calligraphic B in the palm of his hand. It was so beautiful, and quite obviously masterfully crafted.
"I would never do such a thing Luck."
Mello giggled playfully as he flirted with the troll. The blood red hue to his eyes growing even more intense as he stood there. It was eerie how he was becoming more like Beyond with every cruel act.
"Mello, if we're done here, we should go elsewhere," L said. "I think poor little Near can't handle much more."
The older fae placed a kind hand on Near's shoulder, being mindful of the wounds that the whip had left behind.
"You're no fun L," the young fae chided as he turned and walked out, making sure his hips swayed so his ass looked good.
As they left the jewelry shop, Near spotted a vendor selling ocarinas and smiled. He had one back home with his grandfather and knew how to play it beautifully. He even learned how to play some songs from a few video games for Matt. It saddened him that he would never be able to play one again since he had been spirited away by Mello.
The blond saw him staring at the fairy selling the little toys. His eyes slowly began to lose the red tint the more he watched. His head tilted to the side as they passed.
Matt leaned in close to Mello's ear and whispered, "Near had an ocarina and he can play so many songs on it perfectly! It's his most favorite thing in the entire world."
He nodded and made sure that when they passed, he snatched one, replacing it with a gold coin. He held it in his hand before sneaking it into one of Near's bags. Matt watched this and smiled behind the tall neck of his fur trimmed vest.
After shopping when they got back and Mello was released, he ran right to B, his glamour fading as he hurried to tell the darker fae what had happened. Beyond stood without his glamour. He appeared as a pale fleshed creature with large demonic bat wings. His fangs glistened in the fading light as his claw like nails ran across Mello's cheek.
"Did you behave my pet?" B cooed at him.
"He started to lose control in one of the shops," L reported. "But other than that he was relatively good."
Mello gave L a glare as he turned to B pouting. "Me and Matty were playing. I didn't hurt anyone so L didn't have to hit me."
Beyond looked to his twin with a fake pout of his own.
"That was mean of him to do wasn't it sweetness," he cooed, kissing Mello's cheek. "You were only having fun."
"He disobeyed a direct order my brother. That is why I hit him."
"He used my name… If someone had heard him I would be used by them," the blond argued.
B's eyes became narrowed to slits as he stared at his twin. "You did what?"
"I did no such thing. I am not so stupid as to make such a mistake."
The blond stared at L as Beyond glared. "He did B. He said it and if someone had heard I could be taken away from you," Mello said, sounding sad.
"I merely whispered it directly into his ear. No one besides he or I could have heard."
"You two go to Mello's room," B hissed at Matt and Near.
The two humans were quick to follow the order, not wanting to feel the dark fae's wrath first hand. He grabbed hold of the blond's arm, gripping it tightly, making the boy wince in pain. B pulled the blond up the stairs and down a second hallway.
"Lawlipop, be a dear and find me my ball gag. I don't wish the humans to know he's screaming."
"Of course dear brother."
L retrieved the device and handed it over to B. Mello began to panic as the gag was placed between his lips. He tried to scream but the ball cut off any sound.
"You should know better than to play us against each other my pet. We know your tricks, right my twin?"
"That we do. If I remember correctly, we are the ones who taught them to you."
The blond looked completely terrified as Beyond tossed him to the floor. The darker of the twins went to grab one of his favorite toys, holding it up for Mello to see. He held a hammer and two iron nails in gloved hands.
"Ready to play Mello?"
"Don't be too hard on him my brother."
"I'm only going to show him what could happen if he tries this again."
"If you say so brother."
"He's lucky I don't shove these nails through his tongue." This made Mello scream louder. "Hold his hand on the floor."
"As you wish dear Beyond."
L moved beside Mello and took hold of the blond's left hand and stretched his arm out and kept it pinned to the floor. Mello tried to pull away as he screamed for them to stop. The iron nails were placed on either side of his hand. If he moved the iron would burn his flesh, leaving blistered red marks. He then raised the hammer, slamming it down on the long slender fingers. Though he knew Mello deserved the punishment, L still had to look away from the damages that were dealt. B wasn't finished. He still had another hand to deal with.
"Get his other hand."
L nodded and stretched Mello's other arm and held it to the ground. He closed his eyes to keep the inevitable tears from falling. Beyond slammed the hammer down as Mello jerked to free himself. He screamed around the gag, begging to be released.
"That's enough B..."
"Not yet. Strip him of his shirt. I want to see his back."
"No. He's had enough."
"Lawliet do as I say."
"I will not do this."
L stood and walked out of the room. Mello screamed for him to stay, to help him as he cried. Beyond licked his cheek as he slowly helped him up and undid his gag.
"Go tell him you're sorry for being so bad."
Mello nodded and ran after L while cradling his abused hands to his chest. L stood just outside the room, leaning against the wall with his raised arm covering his eyes. Every now and then his shoulders would shake as if he were crying. Mello stood there with tears streaming down his face as he fell to his knees at L's feet.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, nuzzling the older fae's inner thigh. L reached down and placed a gentle hand on the top of Mello's head.
"It's alright my treasure..."
He dropped down and pulled the blond into an embrace. He hated to see the younger fae hurt like this. Mello cried out his pain as L held him. The bones would heal before day break but they hurt now
"I won't do it again."
"I know my sweet, sweet treasure."
L held the younger fae close as he tried to comfort him. Beyond watched them closely as he stood at the door. His cold blood red eyes moved over them as he walked to them.
"You know we love you Mihael."
"Yes my precious Mihael. B and I love you very much. We're the only ones who ever can and will, no matter what."
The blond nodded. They told him this often and ever since he came to be with them they told him the same words. They didn't like hurting him, it was just for being bad.
"I love you both... I won't do it again. I'll be good."
"That's a good Mihael."
L stroked the blond tresses soothingly as he rocked gently back and forth. Mello simply nuzzled L's neck as he quieted down.
"I'll be good today. I promise."
"That's my good little Mihael," L purred into Mello's ear. "That's my sweet little treasure."
He smiled as L held him. Beyond moved to them and crouched down, taking them in his arms.
"Go tend to your pets Mihael."
He kissed the blond's lips. Mello kissed L's lips before pulling away to do as told. As the blond ascended the stairs, music drifted to his ears from his room. Near had found the ocarina and was playing just as beautifully as Matt had said he could. Mello stared at the doors to his room. He couldn't open them with his hands like they were. They hurt too much even as he cradled them to his chest.
L went up the stairs to help him. The older fae opened the door for the blond. Mello smiled and kissed his lips again in thanks as he walked in. He was tired and hurt and wanted to be comforted by his pets. L couldn't because Mello wouldn't let himself the older fae's caring touch tonight. He had tried to get L in trouble with B and that was bad.
The ocarina playing stopped as Near looked up at the blond standing in the door way. He smiled and thanked Mello for the tiny instrument. The blond made sure his hair hid his eyes as he went to the bath room. The door was open as he tried to find something for his hands. Then he wondered how he would wrap his injured hands. Matt walked up and placed an arm around Mello's waist.
"Do you need any help?" he asked, his voice holding concern.
The red head wasn't wearing his goggles and the true colors of his eyes showed. The left was a clear blue and the right was emerald green. This fact could never be seen through the orange tint in the lenses. He held up his hands, showing Matt the twisted and bleeding digits.
"Could you two fix them?"
"Of course. Near's not so good at bandaging things up, but I can."
Matt made sure to be gentle with Mello as he cleaned the wounds and popped the bones back into place. He apologized for it hurting so much, but continued this tiny job with wrapping the digits in bandages.
"The fluff ball is kinda squeamish around blood you know," he said softly in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"You shouldn't tell me stuff," Mello said quietly. "I could use it against you two at some point."
Matt shrugged."I've got nothing to lose. Doesn't really matter to me either way. I'm personally kind of surprised you aren't saying anything about my eyes being two different colors."
He turned to look Matt directly in the eye.
"You saw me flirt with a troll and watched me run into the arms of a bat winged fairy. I have wings and fangs and my own eyes are an unnatural color. You really think your eyes are a surprise to me?" He started to laugh. It sounded like small bells chiming in the wind. "I'm a fairy Matty. I've seen things with four eyes and ten arms. You are normal compared to the fae."
Matt shrugged again. "I'm just used to people reacting strongly when they see my eyes for the first time."
That's why he always wore the goggles. He may not really show it much, but he always felt uncomfortable when people talked about or stared at his eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful. Mail Jeevas you are to never uncover your eyes unless you are in this room with me."
"As you wish."
Matt leaned in and placed a small chaste kiss on Mello's soft pink lips. He was glad that the blond approved of his eyes when most just thought they were weird.
"Thank you for fixing my hands... B would have been even more angry if I got hurt." Funny for him to ever say that when B had been the one to do it.
"It's alright. I'm used to it."
"How so?"
"Skateboarding isn't the safest of hobbies and pavement sandwiches are painful," he explained with a chuckle.
Matt pulled out a cigarette and his blue bic and proceeded with his addiction. The blond smirked and shook his head. He wrapped his arms around Matt's neck and leaned close to whisper in his ear.
"You will both comfort me tonight."
"Alright, but until then, do you think we could get some chow? Near and I haven't eaten since yesterday and cigarettes only go so far."
"Sure. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything that's edible. I'm not picky."
He nodded and pulled away, walking out to Near.
"You hungry?" he asked, sitting down carefully.
The white haired boy peeled his lips away from the ocarina and nodded.
"What do you want my little song bird?" He used his palm to touch his cheek. Blood was seeping through the bandages from moving his hand so much.
"A-a fruit salad... If that's alright?"
Near tried to keep his attention away from the bloody hand. It didn't help that it was touching his face and he turned considerably pale. The blond pulled his hand away, hiding it behind his back.
"You can't eat the fruit here."
Near looked at the floor. He already knew why.
"But I can't eat meat... My stomach can't hold down any heavy foods... Especially red meat."
"Then you can have something else. No fruit unless I say it's okay."
Mello looked to Matt for help up. The red head nodded and helped Mello up.
"Let's go. You can see what we have. Ask before eating anything."
"I understand. You don't want us to become addicted to the fairy fruit." Near smiled. "Thank you for the ocarina by the way."
"Anything you want you can have my little song bird."
"Thank you."
Near went up on his toes and kissed Mello sweetly on the cheek. The blond walked to the door and waited for one of them to open it. Matt did so first. He pulled his goggles back over his eyes before following Mello out of the room. He walked down to the kitchen and sat himself in a chair.
"Remember, ask before you eat."
"Why not simply show us what's safe to eat?"
He held up his hands. "I can't till they heal. I'm happy he didn't use a hammer with iron."
Near looked down at the floor sadly. "...I'm sorry...For last night...I just wanted to go home..."
"Well you can't go home. This is your home and I'm your family."
The white haired boy hid his eyes behind his bangs as his lips began to tremble. It broke his heart that he had to leave his grandfather like this... Why couldn't Mello be happy with just Matt?
"You'll learn to like it here just like I did."
"How would you know? You're a fairy, not a human..."
Matt walked over and put a reassuring hand on Near's shoulder. This boy was much too fragile for anything like this.
"I'm a fairy now. B and L made me one." He smiled at them as his eyes danced with the memory of his first bath in the fae blood. "They love me so much that when I got sick they turned me into a fairy. They love me so much."
His injuries contradicted the statement but he believed it to be true. This information surprised and angered Near.
"...You mean...You used to be human too?"
"Yup. L didn't want me to die so he and his brother turned me into a fairy."
Near felt betrayed. "How could you? How could you do such cruel things to us if you used to be like us?"
Hot angry tears streamed down his now flushed cheeks and he ran out of the kitchen before he could get an answer. He made a dash for the front door. He had to get home some how.
"Nate River stay here! B gave you an order to stay by my side until you die!"
The teen's anger pushed him to resist and he managed to get out the front door before his body involuntarily tripped itself as a way to obey the order he had been given. He cursed and tried to get up but his muscles wouldn't let him.
"Get back here or else I'll get B!"
Near's muscles forced him to get up and he trudged his way back inside and to where Mello was. His face still held its defiant air and he glared at the blond. The blond glared at him before getting back up and walking out of the kitchen.
"Nate River, if you eat anything tonight it will taste of sand and rust."
Near clenched his fists. Matt quickly ran after Mello, leaving the white haired boy alone in the kitchen. He stood still for a few minutes before he began searching all of the drawers for something sharp. He grabbed the first knife he found. If he had to stay by that damn fairy's side until the day he died, he may as well end it here and now. He held the blade to the underside of his wrist...and hesitated... He couldn't do it. He just couldn't leave Matt to be the pet of the fae. The knife fell from his now trembling right hand and clattered loudly against the tile floor. Near fell to his knees sobbing.
"He tried that once."
Near jumped with surprise and turned to face the voice behind him. Beyond stood there, holding a silver apple. He smirked, tossing the piece of fruit between his hands.
"My pet couldn't take his life either. After being with us for ten years he didn't want to be away from us."
Near looked away from B. That wasn't the reason he failed to take his life. The reason he couldn't was because he was too much of a coward. Beyond's cruel laughter filled the air.
"Nate River, you will not try such things again. You wouldn't want to leave Mail alone with us, would you?"
"He wouldn't be alone... He would have Mello..."
"You know better. He doesn't love him. Mello loves only L and me."
"I have no one..."
Near picked up the knife and held the point to his own chest. He couldn't move his arms to drive the blade in. The order prevented anything from happening. The dark fae moved over and took the blade.
"Be a good boy and go comfort Mello. Or else I'll crush your hands. Yours won't heal like his."
Near was still for a minute before he dropped the knife once more and stood. He walked out of the kitchen and to Mello's room.
Beyond watched him go thinking to himself, 'Mello needs to watch that one.'
Near stood outside Mello's door. He really didn't want to go in and face that... That traitor. But if he didn't then B would crush his hands... Mello was lying on the bed with Matt changing his bandages. He had his eyes closed and was laughing. His head was in Matt's lap. Near stayed silent. He didn't want the blond to notice him. Matt was telling stories from when he was at that orphanage...
"So then Jimmy said, 'Eat dirt!' and tried to push my face in the sand, but I used my mad ninja skills that I learned from playing Tekken to totally pown his ass!"
Mello laughed as he rolled onto his stomach. He reached up and tapped his nose. "You should show me those ninja skills."
"Alrighty."
Matt stood and made a fighting stance. After taking in a deep breath-in through the nose and out through the mouth-he began a sequence of Tae Kwan Do kicks that he obviously ripped off of Hwarang in Tekken. One kick accidently connected with Near's jaw, sending the white haired boy to the floor with a pained cry. Matt immediately went to his side, worried.
"Omigod Near! I'm sooo sorry!"
"Matt go get a wet rag."
Mello moved to his side quickly. With a flick of his wrist, the water turned on and he took Near into his arms. He was back to the caring person instead of the hot tempered young child from before. Matt nodded and went to wet a rag in the bathroom. Near held a hand to his sore jaw and his vision blurred as his eyes filled with tears. His shoulders began to shake as he started to sob into Mello's chest. Why did all the bad stuff have to happen to him?
"Oh my little song bird... It will be okay. He didn't mean it."
The blond held Near close to his chest. He whispered in his ear as he held out his hand for the rag. Matt handed it over, still apologizing to Near over and over again. The white haired boy knew it was an accident and he did forgive Matt, it's just that he was too stressed out to handle this situation calmly. The blow dealt by the red head was the proverbial finger to knock down the first domino which in turn made all the others fall over. Mello placed the rag over the bruise as it started to form.
"You need to stop crying now. It will be okay."
He sniffled and hiccupped, trying to calm down. It didn't help that Mello kept flip-flopping back and forth between mean and nice. The blond pulled back, nuzzling Near's neck.
"I'll take good care of you, my little song bird. Matty and I will make you something yummy."
The white haired boy shook his head. "Not today... You said if I eat anything today it will taste like sand and rust..."
Mello kissed Near's lips, causing a spark to appear. "Nate River, you are free to eat anything you desire."
Near blushed lightly at the small friction. Before now, the only person he had ever kissed was Matt.
"Stay here my little song bird. We'll be back soon."
He got up, kissing Near once more before going to the door. Near stayed seated in that spot, not because of Mello's words, but because he was surprised. He placed his fingers over his lips where Mello had kissed him. They felt kind of tingly from the kiss and he vaguely wanted to do it again. Mello walked back to the kitchen with Matt and sat down.
"What's his favorite thing to eat?"
"Anything with fruit in it. Or chicken dishes. He can and likes to eat chicken."
Mello leaned on the table, smiling at him. His eyes had a sparkling light as he stared at Matt. "Can you cook? I can't cook like I am, but if not we could order something for you both." He looked back to the stairs. "He doesn't like me."
"Sadly, Near's the only one that does the cooking…" Matt sweat dropped. "And personally I kinda can't blame him considering you did kidnap him and have me rape him essentially. If I were in his shoes, I think I wouldn't really like you either."
"He burned my face…" he hissed, crossing his arms. "We'll order something then. Do you hate me?"
"I don't have any reason to. Why do you ask?"
"I was wondering. I hated it here at first, but look at me now? I'm happy here." He smiled as his wings fluttered and he pointed to the phone. "You can get whatever you desire. You both will love it here. You will want for nothing because it is just a step away."
"Don't be too hard on Near ok? If you give him more reasons to like it here, I'm sure he'll warm up like I have." Matt smiled. "How long have you been here, if you don't mind me asking?"
"Are you asking my age Matty?" he said teasingly.
"Yeah, I suppose. I'm just curious."
"How old do I look?"
"About eighteen, but I know that can't be how old you really are. I've read too many books that say stuff like that. Most of them are about vampires, but still."
"I'm not telling you my age. You have to guess." Mello was giggling as he looked at the red head. It was fun and the house was full of clues to his age.
"Hmm…"
Matt paused a moment in thought. He was mostly doing math based on the age of the furniture of the blond's room. Since it was gothic styled, it had to have been made some time in the mid to late 1800's, putting Mello at about…
"I guesstimate roughly 160 years at the oldest?"
"You're smart." His eyes danced with happiness as he giggled. "You going to order something to eat or stare at me all night?"
"...Right..."
Matt stood up from the table and picked up the phone and dialed his and Near's favorite Chinese take out joint. The call was answered on the third ring and Matt put in the order. When he hung up, Mello tilted his head to the side.
"Is it weird to think I'm older than I look?"
"With how much Anne Rice I've read, not really."
"Most of the stuff you read is fake. There's a difference between vampires and fae."
"Well I know that! Vampires don't have wings for example."
Mello smiled sweetly. "Will you kiss me?"
He smiled back at Mello. "Sure, if you want."
He walked over and placed a sweet kiss on the blond's lips. He leaned forward, pressing his lips to Matt's more forcefully. Mello pulled back as the door bell rang.
"Go get Near. I'll get the food."
"Alrighty." Matt went up the stairs and opened the double doors to Mello's room. "Hey Natey, chow time."
"Okay. I'll be right there."
The white haired boy followed Matt down stairs to the kitchen to see his favorite Chinese dish. Mello looked over with a smile as he ate a silver apple.
"Near will you come sit by me?"
"Um..." He bit his lip. "I guess so..."
Near walked over and sat next to Mello. He brought one leg up to his chest and began curling some of his hair between his fingers nervously. He still wanted to kiss Mello again so badly but he was afraid to. Mello giggled, nuzzling Near's neck. When he spoke his lips brushed over the pale flesh of his neck.
"My little song bird... Are you okay?"
Near blushed lightly and nodded. "Mhm. Thank you for dinner."
"I have to take care of you two. You belong to me." The blond pulled back to look into his eyes. "I'll make you happy. You will be happy here."
Near said nothing. He simply continued to curl his hair between his thumb and forefinger as he began to eat the moo goo gai pan.
Mello sat there with his apple, eating it. The thick crimson juices slowly dripped down his chin to be licked up by his pink tongue. It looked very erotic as he licked his fingers and the bite marks from the fruit. Mello loved the fairy fruits; they were a comfort for him when he first came here. L fed him the treat to help him stop crying. He made himself sick trying to keep the small happiness that the fruit offered.
Matt watched this display with lusty eyes. He couldn't help but get hard when he imagined that pink tongue licking up other things-like his cock. His chop sticks were stationary; his brain too distracted by other things to concentrate on eating his lo mein. Mello finished the apple eating it core and all.
"Matty," he said in a purring voice. "You not hungry?"
Matt jolted back to reality. "What?"
"You were staring at us."
Mello pulled Near into his lap as he smiled sweetly at him. He nuzzled Near's neck before moving to nibble his ear.
"Oh... Uh... Sorry... I tend to space out some times..."
He began stuffing his mouth with the Chinese noodles. Near stiffened at the sudden movement. He blushed a deep scarlet and mewled quietly at the contact with his ear. Not even Matt had ever done this with him... Granted the previous night, there wasn't any sort of foreplay in his front what so ever, but still.
"Can I have a bite?" he asked, looking at the food. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around Near's waist.
"Um... Sure..."
Near held up his chop sticks with a piece of the chicken covered in the Chinese white sauce between them. He leaned forward and pressed his chest against Near's back. He bit into the piece and pulled back smiling.
"How is it?"
"It's very good," he purred in his ear. His lips brushed over the soft lobe. "Will you kiss me?"
He didn't know if that would be alright. He kind of wanted to out of a small amount of lust for the attractive fae, but more than anything, he wanted to kiss Matt. He had always cared very deeply for the red head but he wasn't sure if the other cared for him in the same way. The blond looked to Matt then back at Near. He dropped his voice so only Near would hear.
"You want him don't you?"
Near didn't make any move to answer. He knew that if he did, he would use that information against him. Granted, it was kind of obvious seeing as Near had tried to keep Matt away from the blond the night before when they were at the night club... He just hoped that Mello wouldn't figure that part out. That wouldn't be a good way to establish a more forward relationship with Matt...
"He is very attractive." The blond licked his cheek. He giggled, nuzzling his neck again. "You see the way he looks at me. I'm the only one who can show you love. The only one who could ever care. You know that Nate."
"...No..."
Near couldn't accept that as fact. Matt did care about him. The red head had wrapped the wounds on his back after all. And he went to him when Mello had been so mean and tricked him earlier that day. Besides, after actions like those, it was hard to believe the blond actually loved him or cared for him. But then again, he did buy the ocarina... And the Chinese food... Maybe the fae wasn't so heartless after all... He shook that thought from his head quickly. If he wasn't really that heartless, then he wouldn't have stollen him away from his grandfather, or tricked him, or forced his best friend and crush to rape him.
The blond kissed his cheek as he held him close. "I care for you so much my little song bird. Come teach me how to love."
Near wiggled, wanting to get free from the blond's grip. He was starting to feel rather uncomfortable with him. He needed to be alone for a little while to mull things over. He knew that Mello couldn't possibly be telling the truth about being the only one to care for him.
"Please stay with me. I want you both to stay with me." He moved on hand and placed it on the table. "They're so mean to me and you but I won't be mean to you. I care deeply for you my little song bird. More than anyone."
Near swallowed, looking at the bandaged hand. This just wasn't right… Mello had been kidnapped by fairies too so he knew how Near and Matt probably felt. The blond smiled as he placed a kiss on Near's cheek.
"Will you teach me?"
"To play the ocarina?"
He rolled his eyes. "Teach me to love."
"I can try… I'm not really sure it's something that can be taught."
The white haired boy yawned, covering his mouth with his hand. It was getting late and he'd had a long and rough day.
"Let's get you two to bed." Mello nuzzled Near's neck sweetly. "The end of the week is the court balls. You have to be rested and ready for it."
The white haired teen nodded tiredly as Matt stood up and went to Mello's and Near's side.
"What will they be like?" the red head asked.
"Depends on the court."
The white haired boy nodded. "You should remember from what my grandfather told us. The Seelie court is full of kind and light fae and the unseelie is full of dark fae."
"Oh yeah…" Matt sweat dropped.
"L is of the Seelie court and B is of the unseelie. We get to go to both."
That explained a lot to Near. Mello walked them to the room and motioned for Matt to open the door.
"I don't have to pick a court till I change completely."
"If I were to become fae, I would want to be of the Seelie court," Near sighed dreamily.
"Really?" The blond climbed onto the bed and moved so Matt and Near could lay on either side of him. "What do you know about the courts?"
Matt sat on Mello's left while Near sat on his right. "Well, I can't say I know much," the white haired boy said, bringing one knee up to his chest. "But I do know that the Seelie Ball is held in a field above ground that is surrounded by fairy fruit trees and the Unseelie Ball is held in and underground catacomb. And that the Seelie Court is one of light fae and the Unseelie Court is one of dark fae."
"Light and Dark is all a matter of perspective. Even those of the Seelie Court Will steal babies and force people to dance till they die."
Mello ran his fingers through Near's hair. He turned to face him, laying on his side with his back to Matt. He was showing favor to Near. He wanted to see how Matt would react. The red head's eyes narrowed into a glare that he directed at the fae. He moved so he was at Near's side and wrapped his arms around the white haired boy. It was as if he were claiming the younger for himself. The blond's eyes gazed at the two as he continued to stroke Near's hair.
"Matty, do you love Near?"
"Why should it matter to you?" he asked venomously as he held Near closer to him, pulling him away from Mello.
Near blushed. With actions like this it was obvious he did love the younger human. The blond's eyes became sad and he pulled away, rolling off the bed and walking to the vanity table and picked something up. He walked to another door opening it and walked into a sitting room. He moved to a balcony and stood there holding his hands with his fingers laced.
Matt watched in curiosity. Just what was the blond up to now? If he was being bitchy, fuck him. Sure he was attracted to Mello, but he felt more than that toward Near. Wind from the night air swept over and brushed Mello's hair from his face.
"They love each other," he whispered. His eyes held sadness.
Near cocked his head to the side. "He looks sad..."
"So what? He was touching you in a way I didn't like."
Near looked at Matt now. "Mail... Do you love me?"
The red head didn't answer. He couldn't answer that question. He wasn't even sure if this feeling was love. All he knew was that it was strong and intense. Near maneuvered out of Matt's arms and went to the balcony and Mello's side.
"Mello... Are you okay?"
His bandaged fingers tightened around something in his hands that clicked together. "Why are you here? You should be resting with Matty."
"...You looked sad so I got a little worried... What's wrong?"
Near reached a hand out to touch Mello's arm gently. He looked at the hand as it touched his skin.
"Why do you care?"
He turned away and the beads of a necklace showed against his bandages. Mello brought the beads to his lips. "No one but L and B... No one but L and B..." he whispered.
"I care because it's in my nature to do so. If I did anything to hurt or upset you, I deeply apologize." It was amazing just how much like L he sounded at this time.
"You have done nothing," he snapped, turning to stare at him. "I'm not tired."
Near jumped away at the sudden snap, hearing the slight anger in Mello's voice. The blond went back to the balcony. His hand moved, revealing a rosary in his hand. He went back to whispering to himself the same words as if he was trying to make himself believe what he was saying.
"It's not true, is it?" Near asked, moving back to where he had been beside Mello.
He lifted the ocarina to his lips from where it was around his neck and began playing a sweet lullaby that his grandfather would always sing for him whenever he was upset about something. The blond looked over at him and leaned over, looking up.
"Why are you doing this? You should be with Matt, not me."
He peeled his lips from the ocarina. "Do you want me to be with Matt right now?"
"You are an odd child." He wrapped an arm around Near's waist, kissing his cheek.
"Matt tells me the same thing."
"You don't like me. Matt doesn't like me either." The fae pulled back to stare out into the cool night. "No one does but L and B."
"That's not true Mello. Matt does like you. I can tell by the way that he stares at you some times. On top of that he wouldn't have bandaged your hand earlier if he didn't like you. And my opinion of you is changing for the better since you showed such kindness toward me for the majority of the day."
He shook his head as he stood there. "You should go to bed."
"I guess so. But come join us, okay? We won't bite, I promise." Near gave a little smile.
He shook his head. "I want to go to my room."
"But I thought that was your room…"
"That's my bedroom. This is my sitting room. My room is special. B made it for me after I got my tattoo."
"I see... Would you like me to play a song for you?"
"Do you want to see my room?" the blond asked him with a smile. "I want to play for you."
The white haired boy became excited. "You know how to play the ocarina too?"
"I can play the violin."
"Wow really? I want to hear!"
Near practically dragged Mello into the blond's sitting room. Mello laughed and lead him to another door. He opened it to show a room with glass walls and ceiling. The floor was made of grass and the moonlight made it seem magical. He walked over to a violin and picked it up. Near sat on one of the benches and watched Mello intently.
He ran the bow over the strings and started to play a slow, lilting tune. The white haired boy smiled. He loved the beauty of the song. Its slow, lilting tune was making him sleepy, as if it were the most beautiful lullaby. His eyelids felt as if they were being weighted down by heavy two ton weights. Slowly he drifted to sleep.
Mello watched as the boy laid in the grass and fell asleep. He smiled as the song finished and he placed the instrument back. When the song finished, Near's dreams became fitful. The images showed to him by the backs of his eyelids were of Matt and his grandfather being slowly tortured to death by the cruelest of fae while they held him in restraints and forced him to watch. In the back ground he thought he saw B with Mello by his side. It seemed as if the blond had a cruel smirk and an eerie red glow to his aquamarine eyes.
The blond watched him for a moment before picking up the violin and playing another song. Slowly the white haired teen calmed into a peaceful sleep. He shivered from the chilly air and curled into a tight ball for warmth. Mello enchanted the violin to keep playing while he went into the bedroom. He walked to the bed and got a blanket.
"Come with me," he said to Matt
The red head blinked, wondering why Mello was summoning him.
"What for?" he inquired as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed. His bare feet hit the stone floor with a soft tap.
"Near fell asleep elsewhere and you want to be with him."
Mello never met Matt's eyes and walked back to his special room. Matt stood there for a moment in confusion. Why was Mello acting so weird? The red head shrugged and followed Mello into the room. He sat on the grass next to the blond.
"What's wrong?" he asked quietly.
He knew that something was upsetting the fae, he just didn't know what. Mello covered Near with the blanket before disenchanting the violin and putting it away.
"I'm waiting for an answer. Why are you so upset?"
"I'm not upset. Now go to sleep."
"Liar. If you aren't upset then why don't you look me in the eye? Why does your gaze shift to the floor instead?"
"Because I don't have to."
He moved to a window and gazed at the stars. Matt stood up as well and moved to Mello's side.
"It's because of how I am with Near, isn't it?"
"No. As I said, I'm not upset. I know my place and where I belong. Go to sleep."
Matt took Mello's chin and moved the blond's face toward his own and captured his lips in a short but passionate kiss. He caressed the darker flesh of the scar, his fingers brushing through the medium length blond strands and tucked them behind the blond's slightly pointed ear.
"Please don't be so upset. There is no one in the entire world I would rather do this with than you. Not even Near."
"You are lying." He pulled away and took a few steps back, turning away from him. "You love Near. You care nothing for me… Just like everyone else."
"Why would I lie about something like this? If it seems like I love Near and not you, it's because I've known him for years and I only just met you last night! I do still care for you though and that's why I'm asking why you're upset. Even a blind fool could see it. Mello, if I didn't care, I would just ignore you completely. Now tell me what's wrong."
"Why do you love me?" He spun around and stared at him. "What about me is so special?"
"You're beautiful, you're kind, everything. My body aches for you all the time." Matt followed after Mello. He attempted to pull the elder into an embrace and kiss him. "I need you."
The blond's eyes sparkled as he ran a finger tips over his cheek and neck. "You need me?" he asked. "Your body needs me every night Mail. It burns for me doesn't it? Does your soul cry out for Near or me?"
"You Mello! I need you. To feel your touch… Your body against mine! I need you!" he moaned into the fae's ear.
He grinned as he moved away and pulled his shirt off, lying in the grass. "Come show me. Show me your love."
Matt smirked and moved to straddle Mello's waist, removing his shirt as well. He leaned down and kissed the fae's lips deeply and licked his lower lip for entrance. The blond opened his mouth letting him in. He sucked on the redhead's tongue as he reached up and tangled his long slender fingers in Matt's hair. He pulled back and kissed down his neck nipping at the flesh.
The red head moaned as his hands roamed down Mello's chest, one stopping to play with his nipple. He twisted and tugged at the pert little thing. He moved his hips over Mello's member, wanting to get a reaction out of the fae. The blond fae smirked as a moan left his lips. His hips bucked up to meet Matt's as he moaned wantonly. Oh gods, this simple teasing was not what Matt wanted or needed. No, he needed to touch Mello, all of him. He reached down and began to remove both of their pants, needing the blond's sexy member.
"Mail... Tell me you love me. I want you to tell me you want me and love me." He smiled at him sweetly, running his fingers over his chest.
"I love you Mello... I want you and I love you. No one else."
The blond lifted his hips up to help get his own pants off. Matt moved down, running his tongue up the blond's shaft. Mello moaned flipping their positions so he was on top.
"Thought you were tired?" he chuckled working to strip the redhead of his jeans.
"That was Near. I need you too much to be able to sleep just yet."
"He may wake up."
"Then we should go to the bed. I need you Mello. Right now." He bucked his hips for emphasis.
"No. I'll fuck you here and now. I'll make you scream how much you love me."
He pulled off the other's pants and kissed his lips. Matt moaned into the other's mouth. That was just what he wanted and it was clear that he needed it too with how swollen and throbbing his dick was. Mello moved over and straddled his waist. He lifted his hips and took hold of Matt's cock. The blond smirked as he lowered himself moaning at the harsh pain. He loved it rough and god only one person could feed his hunger for pain. B... Beyond Birthday gave him everything he wanted and more. Matt moaned Mello's name and bucked up harshly at the heat that now surrounded his rock hard member. Mello brought him such sweet, sweet bliss!
"Matt... Fuck me. Make me feel it. Worship me as your lover." He moaned loudly as he lifted himself back up and dropped back down harshly.
"Oh gods... Mello!"
He flipped their positions and began pounding mercilessly into the blond, grunting in pleasure at the hot friction this caused. The blond threw his head back moaning out Matt's name. It felt so good to fall into his natural place. His eyes moved to Near's back as he smirked and cried out in pleasure.
The white haired boy had woken up just a minute ago and was laying very still as he listened to Matt fucking Mello. Hot tears ran silently down his cheeks as he heard Matt's voice calling out Mello's name in pure bliss. The red head reached between them and began pumping Mello's member in time with his harsh thrusts, not being too gentle with the throbbing appendage. The blond moaned as he brought Matt in for a kiss.
"Say you love me again." His voice was sweet like honey.
"I love you Mello..." He moaned as he sped up his thrusts.
Near's breath caught in his throat when he heard this.
The blond moaned and after a few strokes he came all over his and Matt's chests. "MATT!"
The red head moaned loudly as he came with Mello, filling the blond with his seed. Mello laid in the grass smirking up at him.
"You promise to stay with me?"
"Yes, of course. I never want to leave your side Mello." Matt reached down and caressed Mello's cheek with his hand. He kissed his lips again and pulled out, laying naked on the grass next to Mello.
"Don't ever leave me..." He kissed him back rolling onto his side and curling up close to the human. "You only love me and no one else. Every night we'll lay like this and you will want no other. Your flesh will burn for my touch each night Mail Jeevas."
His words weaved a chain around the redhead binding him to the blond forever. Near's shoulders began to shake under the blanket as he started crying a little harder, but still staying silent. Mello reached his foot over and tapped Near's back. The white haired boy gave a surprised squeak as his eyes shot open. He wasn't expecting Mello to touch him in any way...
"Go to sleep Matty. You look tired."
The red head nodded and closed his eyes. The blond rolled over and pulled Near close to his body.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "Matt doesn't love you but I do. I told you I'm the only one."
That didn't make him feel better in the least bit. Near continued to sob silently, his shoulders shaking against Mello's chest. He wanted Matt to be the one to love him, not Mello...
"Stop crying Nate. You can't cry anymore."
His tears suddenly stopped on their own. He still felt the sadness, the betrayal, but no matter how much he willed them to, the tears wouldn't come.
"Good... now let's go to sleep my pretty little song bird." He kissed Near's shoulder.
Near closed his eyes, but sleep wouldn't come. No matter what, Matt words continued to echo in his mind. "I love you Mello."
Woot! Next chapter up! Sorry to all readers for the delay. I was busy with stuff (like editing for typos). Plus I was waiting for reviews... I was sad that This story only got three... Hopfully this chapter will get more... And keep in mind folks that this fan fiction is actually an RP done between Demon's Sinner and I.
