Chapter 3: Discovery

-Matt's POV-

Was it a good thing that I told him?
Mello bit the middle finger of his glove and pulled it off, stroking my tears away with his bare thumb.
"I'll keep you safe, Mattie."
I gulped and buried my face into his chest.
Mello picked me up and returned me to the bed.
He handed me my DS, and kissed my forehead. "I'll be back soon."
He murmured lightly. "Just relax and play your game, mmkay?"
I nodded, chewing on my lip. I watched as he left the room, and tried to envelop myself back into the world of Pokemon.

-Mello's POV-

I strode into the Cave, a place where I had four or five computer junkies/hackers working night and day on any kind of technical work that I put upon them.
Not a single one of them were anywhere near Matt's skill level-I knew that he hacked into the
government's systems for fun-but I'd take him in to show him the place on a day he was feeling well enough to walk thirty consecutive steps without running into something.
"Sup Boss?" One of them said, typing away.
I rubbed my eyes. "Okay. I need you to dig up EVERYTHING in ANY system about a man named Jude James."
The man in the desk farthest left looked up at me.
"Jude James, the other Russian crime syndicate?" I nodded.
"Get going. Tell me if you find anything of worth."
They nodded, blissfully not asking questions, and got to work.
I sat in a chair, anxious, and rifled through a pile of papers that needed to be finished.
"Ah, Boss? I seriously think we'll need more equipment if you want us to get through this firewall." One said.
"Fuck." Another said, agreeing.
I rubbed my eyes in irritation, and suddenly had an idea.
No…Maybe. But only if he wanted to.
"I'll be back." I stated, nearly sprinting back to my room.
Opening the door, I stopped to catch my breath.
Matt looked up at me, surprised. "Where's the fire, Mels?"
I walked over to the bed and scooped him up.
Matt squeaked, and clung to me to keep from falling.
"Gotta...show you somethin'."
He saved his game and set the DS on the bedside table.
"Well?" He said, looking up at me excitedly.
I just smiled and returned to the Cave.
When I walked back inside, Matt's eyes went wide.
"Lemme down, lemme down!"
Grinning, I set him on his feet, and he hobbled over to the computer that the other four hackers were crowded around.
"What're we lookin' at here?" He said, running a hand through his red hair, and peering at the screen.
I sat back, convinced that my Matt could get it done.

-Matt's POV-

"Hey, any of you got a cig?" I said, looking to the other men.
"Yeah, sure." I was handed a cigarette and a lighter, the both of which I put to good use.
Taking a drag, I inspected the firewall. "Easy." I said, beginning to type.
The others looked at me in awe as I not only made it through the fire wall, but disabled the security.
My jaw dropped as I realized who I was hacking.
Pushing back and shaking my head, I took a huge drag off my cigarette in an attempt to calm myself.
"M-mello? Why did you let me do that?" I said, pointing a shaking finger at the computer.
"He'll know it was me! He'll punish me!" Mello stood and blocked my path, catching me in his arms.
"Mattie, calm." He said, grabbing me by the wrists gently.
"Matt, look at me. He won't ever touch you again. You're safe here."I shook my head, and shuddered in fear.
"I'll keep you by my side, at all times, 24/7. You will be safe. I'll take you everywhere with me, Mattie." Mello whispered, so low only I could hear it.
I sniffled, and he pulled me up and into his arms.
"Now, the firewall is broken down, get what you can, and get out, got it?" I said, rubbing my eyes and looking to the other hackers.
They all nodded and got to work.
I flicked my cigarette into an ashtray and cuddled, shivering, into Mello's chest.
We returned, yet again, to Mello's room, where he set me on my feet and ran a hand through my hair.
He cradled my face in his big hands, and gazed at me. "You're mine and nobody else's. No matter what, I'll always come back for you, got it?"
"Oh, dangit, Mels."
That went straight to my already frayed emotions, and the waterworks started up again.
He gave a wicked little grin, and pulled me closer, pressing his lips against mine.
I sighed, letting my arms wrap around his neck.
Mello picked me up and lay me on the bed, not once breaking the kiss.
He pulled me on top of him and wrapped him arms around me, stroking my back and shoulders.
His hands drifted down to the hem of my shirt and pulled it gingerly over my head, then returned to kiss down my neck.
"Ah, Mello." I whimpered, tilting my head so he could kiss more of the sensitive skin there.
He gave a low chuckle as I unzipped his vest to explore his hard, muscled chest with my hands.
I gave a soft squeal when he bit down on the most sensitized spot, the one just under my collarbone, and sucked gently.
His fingers fluttered at the hem of the elastic shorts, as if asking, may I?
 At first, I was all but willing, even shifting to make it easier on him, but then I remember the voice that had called and forced me to answer with my body.

"Come on, little bitch. It's time to play!"
"Oh, god please no, I hurt so bad from the last time, please."
"It doesn't fucking matter what you want! I'm gonna have my way with your sweet ass, and that's the end of it!"
"STOP! PLEASE-AH! NO, PLEASE!"

I pushed him away, pushed my Mello away.
"Stop, please." I choked out, hugging my arms around myself.
"Mattie, what's wrong?" Mello said worriedly, lifting my chin and looking into my eyes.
I sobbed brokenheartedly, barely able to meet his gaze.
"You don't want me, I'm dirty, I'm so disgusting." I moaned, pulling away and curling up into a ball at the edge of the bed.
"Matt, tell me what's wrong!" He insisted, pulling me back into his arms and holding me tightly.
My sobbing did not cease.
"I'm a whore, I'm filthy. You DON'T WANT ME!" I screamed.
Mello just held me; kissing everywhere he could reach on my face.
My ears, the tip of my nose, my cheeks, my jaw, none of it soothed me.
He let me hit him, scream at him, curse him, but Mello would not let me out of his arms.
He rocked back and forth, whispering in my ears that he loved me, that he did, in fact, want me,
and that I was NOT a fucking whore, Matt, so quit saying that.
It just hurt so bad, and I was tired of holding it in.
I wondered how Mello could want me.
 Finally, I was so drained that I just fell asleep like that, in his arms.

-Mello's POV-

Matt had tear streaks on his face, and I kissed them softly, still holding him.
One of the hackers appeared in the door, looking excited, but I held a finger to my lips, warning him to stay quiet.
He nodded vigorously, and held up a stack of papers.
I gestured with my head to the desk, and he crept over to set them down.
Close the door. I mouthed, watching him leave. He did so, and I lay down with Matt still in my arms, wrapping the blanket around the both of us.
I fell into uneasy slumber.

A/N: Shit! You horndogs thought you were gonna see a lemon, didn'tcha? WRONG! Hahaha. But innyhoo, R&R, because it makes me happy to know what you think!

Axel: You're never happy to know what I think.

Me: That's because you always tell me my ass is too big!

Axel: *scoffs* I did no such thing. I am perfectly comfortable with your disproportionate booty.

Me: D:…..Bye now!
