"Still wanna go home?"
Even Raito cringed when Mello turned around and (bitchcough) slapped Matt.
"I'm only going because L said to," the blonde said with finality.
So, when Matt stopped seeing pretty, sparkly stars, he replied, "And to think I stole some stupid Band-Aides for you…" Damn, Mello did I really deserve that …… I'll go with maybe. After a second more of thought, Matt decided to follow Mello, who was rushing Raito out the door. They used the stairs to go down only two floors, something about "too many people."
Raito stopped outside of the elevators suddenly, making Mello almost run into a third person that day.
"I have to go buy more time with the taskforce, and of course Matsuda is the one I'm meeting with, so tell L I will be back up after I explain to him why we aren't at headquarters five times. Anyway, just go to the other end of this hall, past mostly everything else, room 804."
"Yeah, whatever," Mello looked around for anyone within earshot, and when he found no one he added, "Kira."
"How many times do I-"
"Shut up. I thought you were leaving today."
The nicotine addict and the chocolate addict continued on as Raito went over to the elevator and practically punched the down button, grumbling something about idiots with names starting with "M".
"Shit, we're not even to regular patients room's yet, this is gonna take forever!" And if you didn't notice, Mello didn't seem too upset that he had just slapped his best friend in front of the man they both thought to be Kira, their worst enemy. Matt decided it was time for a guilt trip.
"Mello, I should tell you something. You know, to clarify why I don't hate the kid and want him to die in the burning pits of Hell with no toys forever?" He held his breath, hoping that tray of syringes was out of this crazy person's reach.
"No matter what you say, I'm still gonna-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, 'hate and despise him'. Whatever, just listen."
"Pfft, fine, just make it fast."
"You remember that time when Beyond somehow got back into Wammy's on Christmas Eve?"
"Yeah, first and only time we ever heard L yelling at anyone. We were what, six-ish? But I thought you were on the roof and didn't hear about it until morning?" Yes, sweet revenge and oh, shit did I save my game earlier?
"Damn… What? Anyway, remember how you had broken my Game boy -inthemiddleofbeatinghtehelloutofLance! - and I ran off? Well, it just so happens that I ran into Near, like, into him. So, after we got out of the Nurse's Office, I decided to steal him one of his presents early. So, we go to the library, the tree was in there that year, and…"
The red head paused at a water fountain to alleviate his suddenly dry mouth, at the same time noticing (and cursing that) they were almost to room 700 already.
"Umm, oh! So we get there, and we see who appears to be L, right? Of course it was Beyond, but they look so much alike from behind, we couldn't tell. I yelled "hey" or something and he turned around. Then Near starts shivering, I think he could tell it wasn't L, and I start to walk over to him. Beyond said something like "oh, it's just you two. I was just about to go look for you, why don't you come sit in one of these chairs while I go get some cake?" and then I started to think, you know, what happened to "Mail" and "Nate"? I am third for a reason. L always calls us by our real names, and he can always tell when we're sneaking up on him and-" Damn.
Watari was out in the hallway talking to a doctor, they were looking into one of the rooms. Both Mello and Matt froze when they heard crying coming from the room. Matt snapped out of it when he heard his real name and ran into the room, pushing past Watari and the doctor. Mello wasn't too far behind, but didn't really understand yet. Watari gave him a look, then remembered to go find Misa.
The first thing Mello saw when he walked into the room was L trying to get Near to drink some water, obviously drugged (he couldn't stand the sight or the taste of it himself). The second thing he saw was Matt talking to him while trying to take off his goggles and hold on to his hand and pull the kid's covers back up at the same time.
Near's covers had mostly fallen off of him, but that probably wasn't the reason he was shaking convulsively was as far as Mello's brain would go for the moment.
"Near, just drink it. It'll only be us here when you wake up, and look Mello is even here. I think he was worried about you earlier. Come on, you know this is L, Near." Matt reached across Near to grab the cup of water L was probably going to drop. The older man looked like he was ready to pass out at any given moment, being that he was just shot and hadn't taken his meds in an hour.
"Miheal, can you walk me back to my room? And where is Raito, I told him to come back with you all, didn't I?" L was having trouble even standing, and Mello had yet to even walk into the room.
"What? Oh, 'guess so," Mello said, slightly dazed, still not understanding why no one was acting as they normally did. "He went downstairs to tell someone from the taskforce something."
The crying stopped after that, Matt had poured most of the water on their clothes, but enough in Near's mouth to make him quiet down a little.
"What did you put in that?"
"One moment, Mail. Doctor Kurotan, will you please tell me why …Evan was not sedated enough to keep him from waking up and almost tearing his stitches?"
"The nurse that I told to give him the medication apparently has a concussion, I really thought he had gotten it."
Mello, L, and Matt all looked up in somewhat varying degrees of disbelief as Near passed out.
