Lyrics; 'Beating Hearts Baby' -Head Automatica
Author's Notes;
I struggled with this chapter, and it's kinda crap. Apologies __ Also, please R
I don't own Death Note, because if I did, it would be a Yaoi Manga // Anime3
After a couple more days of sleep, Mello began to feel better. The burns didn't help though, and having them cleaned by Matt three times a day was aggitating, since he never really took much care for things other than his video games. He ate Matt's cooking, which was barely edible, seeing as the redhead would get distracted by something halfway through, and leave it burn. It was funny to Mello, that he hadn't seen his best friend since he was fifteen, but Matt was still exactly the same. He was always there, whether the blonde liked it or not.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel the beating of your heart baby, the beating of your heart baby.
They would stay up most nights, playing video games, where Matt would usually win but Mello didn't mind. Seeing his friend rejoice in his victories was reward enough, until he rubbed it in Mello's face. That's when Mello would grab his goggles, pulling them away from his face and leaving them go again. The former mafia member got better in time, and confessed about his plans to catch Kira, and all he had done to do so, thus far. He told Matt about the Death Note, which intrigued him just as much as it had for Mello. They talked about everything, from their days in Wammy's House to what life was like in the Mafia.
You, you want nothing to do with me. You, you want nothing to do with me.
Matt made sure to buy Mello everything he wanted, from chocolate to the clothing he needed, which was mostly leather. It was true, they had both physically changed since their teens, but they were still the same on the inside. That put Matt's mind at ease, ever since Mello had told him he joined the Mafia.
I, I don't know what to do with you, 'cause you, you don't know what you do to me.
It was that night that everything changed between them. Mello curled up into a ball, sound asleep. The chocolate lover's blonde hair sat in a nest-like manner on his head, a slight trail of druel over flowing from his mouth. A large crash noise came from downstairs, causing the blonde to snap out of his slumber, and quickly stumble out of bed. He tried to rub the tiredness from his eyes, opening the door and making his way down the stairs.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel the beating of your heart, baby.
He reached the kitchen, where Matt was knelt down, picking up pieces of glass off the floor. "Did I wake you?" He asked Mello, having seen him in the door way. Mello switched the light on, and when they both saw each other, they couldn't help but laugh. Matt had no goggles on, and his hair was anything but neat. Mello's hair was slopped in every direction, and his face look like had just been slapped, not included the scars that adorned his skin.
You, you really got your hold on me. You, you really got your hold on me.
"Nah. You need help?" Mello replied to the gamer, walking over and kneeling down, beginning to pick shards of glass up with his hands. "Be careful.." Matt warned, taking the glass out of Mello's hand, before he stood up and placed it on the counter. Mello laughed slightly, standing up while stretching his arms over his head. Matt watched him from the corner of his eye as Mello went to the fridge and retrieved the carten of milk, chugging it back without the aid of a glass. "I'll have to drink that tomorrow, y'know?" Matt said, standing there with his hands on his hips.
You, you gotta get away from me, 'cause you, you want nothing to do with me.
Mello stopped in mid-chug, before he lowered the carten and whiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "So...?" He casually replied and Matt just tutted, walking over to return the dustpan to it's rightful place. Matt looked over at the clock that was perched on the wall. it was nearly three in the morning. "Why are you up?" Mello asked as he closed the fridge with a clatter, half leaning on the counter top, crossing his arms. "Can't sleep, needed a drink." Matt said as he pulled himself onto the counter opposite Mello. There was a long silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. The two just sat their, making immature faces at each other.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel the beating of your heart baby, the beating of your heart, baby.
Matt would stick his tongue out, and Mello would reply by crossing his eyes. In the back of Mello's mind, he knew that this wouldn't last forever. Eventually, they had to set out again, for the Death Note, for Kira's head, before Near got there. "We shoud go to bed..." Matt said, hopping off the counter. Mello simply nodded, following the gamer and switching off the light as the exited the kitchen. Mello made it to the stairs before Matt, sloppily making his way up to his room.
In spite of you, even out of you, still I love all of you, I do, yeah..
When they reached the landing of the stairs, Mello turned to Matt before they parted. "Matt... Y'know I'm grateful, right?" The blonde had a mix of seriousness and sadness on his face. It wasn't like him to bring up this kind of stuff randomly. "I know." Matt said with nod. "Besides, this way, you owe me" The redhead added, before Mello had a chance to reply. "How do you mean?" Mello asked, frowning. "I'll think of something." Matt said, turning on his heal, he smiled before making his way to his room.
You, want nothing to do with me. You, you want nothing to do with me.
Mello sighed, as he turned and entered his room again, slumping onto the bed lazily, before drifting off to sleep.

A couple of hours passed of the blonde falling in and out of sleep. He groaned and stuffed his face into the pillow, before hearing the door to his room open. Matt peaked his head in the door. "You up?" He asked sleepily. Mello simply hummed before laying his head back on the pillow and looking up at Matt. "I... I can't sleep.." Matt mummbled, as he shut the door behind him and walked over to Mello's bed.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel the beating of your heart baby, the beating of your heart, baby.
"Me neither.." Mello mummbled dozily. Matt stood over the bed for a few moments, before Mello pulled the blanket up, welcoming him into the bed. Matt crawled in without delay, and curled up into a ball next to Mello. "Ugh, fat ass" Mello sighed as he shifted over to give Matt more room. The both laughed in unison, before sighing slightly. Mello flipped over in the bed. "Try and get some sleep, okay?" Mello said, facing the opposite direction to his friend. Matt simply grunted, to confirm that he would.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel, the beating of your heart baby, the beating of your heart, baby.
Eventually, quiet snores could be heard from Mello's side of the bed. Matt twisted in the bed lightly, as not to wake the blonde. The gamer couldn't help himself, and he found that he had no control over his hands. They eventually found their way around Mello's torso, holding him close. He rested his head right behind Mello's, taking in the scent of the blonde's hair. It wasn't long before he found himself drifting off to sleep aswel, with a hum of content.
Baby is this love for real? Let me in your arms to feel, the beating of your heart baby, the beating of your heart, baby.
