BB: Hello, everyone! This is amazing....I've updated this story twice in only a matter of hours. Hmm....wasn't planning on that happening. ANWAY, this chapter was written by a very good friend of mine named Atreyl, who is an AMAZING MattxMello writer (it is SOOOO true). I own NOTHING! NOT DEATH NOTE (oh, how I wish to), not this chapter (Atreyl owns the chapter, but they don't own Death Note either), and most ASSUREDLY NOT MATT AND MELLO ( T_T WHY IS THE WORLD SO CRUEL?). I do hope you enjoy this fanfiction, though. And check out some of Atreyl's stories, too. Atreyl (I call them F), is a good writer, and this will prove it. ENJOY!

Mello
Mello almost stumbled back a step. "You know?" he asked quietly.
Near nodded. "May I come in?" He shuffled inside when Mello stepped aside to let him. Near glanced at the open door to the bedroom where Matt's empty, unmade bed was visible. Behind him, Mello shifted from foot to foot, for once peaceful towards Near.
"So," the blonde said, "what do you know about Matt's disappearance?"
"Actually," Near answered, "we do not have much information yet. I received a report from one of the SPK members this morning. Apparently a man that looks quite similar to Beyond Birthday had been seen in a shopping mall. Also, the report included a 'red-haired teen with goggles' being carried out through the back door by the man."
Mello's eyebrows furrowed. "Beyond Birthday? What does he have to do with Matt?" He'd heard of Beyond Birthday. Mass murderer, still on the loose, never found. Famous for killing his victims in creative, bloody ways. Hopefully Matt was still intact.
"That's what I thought, too, and I developed several possible theories. The most likely one is that maybe your Mafia was involved with something that concerned Beyond Birthday, and the L-look-alike is holding Matt hostage for revenge."
Mello's heart leapt to his throat. I hope not. He shook his head. "No. I'd know if it was otherwise." Besides, I haven't been working in the Mafia too often, lately. I'd been too worried about Matt getting hurt. Matt...
"Hm." Near paused for a second. "Have you encountered Beyond Birthday before?"
"No," Mello answered.
"Then it is possible that Beyond Birthday has had his eyes on you--or Matt, in this case-- and has chosen to act now, considering the fact that Matt had been by himself," Near said. "Since it is somewhat clear that he hasn't done this with the intentions of retaliation, he might have done this as an attempt to get Matt to be his."
"What are you saying?" Mello snarled. "That Beyond Birthday has been in love with my Matt and kidnapped him?" He hoisted Near up by the collar. "Listen, you little fucking albino, you better--"
"Mello," Near said calmly.
The blonde bit his lip, inhaling once deeply. He set Near back down on his feet, and turned, sighing quietly. "Just-- Will you help me find him, Near?" he asked softly. He'd done it. He'd swallowed his pride and asked his rival for his help, all for the sake of Matt. Did he really love the redhead that much?
Yeah, you do, he told himself.
"Of course, Mello," Near replied, and Mello honestly thought he hadn't heard anything so relieving in this long.

Matt
"--because I'm not going to give you up anytime soon."
The dark-haired man's words sent a shudder down Matt's spine. The slam of the door when B leaves made things seem even more ominous, but it helped shake Matt back to reality. Hands trembling, he got up to his feet, using the wall as a guide. He walked around the perimeter, a small square hole at the top of the warehouse giving him enough light to see. He finally stopped underneath said hole, looking forlorn.
"It's too small...and too high," he said to himself. Matt ran a hand through his hair, sitting down on the concrete floor. He chewed at his lip viciously, thinking about nothing except, I've got to get out, I've got to get out...

Beyond Birthday
B was very much pleased that Matt was in his possession. He was a little irate, he admitted, but that wouldn't be for long. If I keep him under excellent care for long enough, if I show him how much I love him, if I show him how little he really means to Mello, he'll be mine. I wouldn't have to keep him here constantly fearing he'd run from me. He'd stay with me no matter what, because he'll love me back.
That was his plan. Simple.
As for Mello...
He thought about him as he rummaged through a refrigerator, bringing out some cheese. Matt liked cheese sandwiches, B knew that. Especially ones made by Mello, but he thought he could do him justice.
After the cheese sandwich was prepared and sitting on a clean plate, Beyond Birthday brought it to the separate warehouse where Matt was in. He unlocked the several locks with his key and made his way inside, prepared for Matt trying to get out. But the redhead was laying in the middle of the floor, asleep. B smiled a little at the little act of innocence, walking over and setting down the plate beside his love. He stroked his hair gently, whispering, "I'm so sorry you had to sleep on the floor now. I promise I'll bring you back a mattress, okay?" He smiled again, my red eyes flashing in excitement.
He was able to do anything to Matt at that moment. Matt was lying there, asleep, completely helpless and at his mercy. But he didn't. B didn't want to hurt his precious toy.
The criminal did, however, slip off his goggles from his eyes. I want to see those beautiful eyes.
"Huh...M-Mello?" Matt murmured, eyes slowly opening and adjusting to the light. "I had a dream that you forgot about my birthday and that started a whole chain of bad events, like Beyond Birthday kidnapping me--" He stopped abruptly, staring at Beyond Birthday's face with something akin to fear in his eyes.
"It's okay, Matt, I won't hurt you," B said soothingly, stroking Matt's cheek lovingly.
Matt's eyes darted back and forth, assessing the situation. He was in B's arms, the crimson-eyed criminal visibly unarmed, and the door was unlocked, just a few feet away...
"I won't stay!" Matt shouted, ripped himself out of B's grip and running to the door. He stumbled over the plate of cheese sandwich on his way.
He'd clearly underestimated Beyond Birthday.
"But Matt, you haven't even seen your birthday present yet," B cooed in his ear, holding Matt firmly to his chest.
The redhead reached desperately for the door nearly a foot away from him, yelling, "Let go of me, you freak! Let go!" and kicking.
B carried him like that outside, towards the little cottage where he was currently staying at. "Unlike Mello, I remembered your birthday," B said conversationally, going inside and carrying him to the bathroom. After locking the door securely, B let Matt on his own feet and ripped the shower curtain to the side, grinning, revealing his 'gift.' "Happy birthday, Matt."
