A/N: Late update, I know. I had to do a quarter project and make a game board, and I spent all my time doing that. And yesterday my friend's brother called me and told me that she ran away (which she didn't) so I spent an hour looking for her. Yup. And I made pocky. XD

WHOOT! 60 reviews! You guys are awesome. I'll write out all of them at the end of this. Thank you guys so much. I never thought I'd be able to get so many reviews, ever. :D You guys rock.

SammyWammy had a great idea of making the make out scene in both Matt and Mello's POV, but, unfortunately, it wouldn't have worked here. I will do that sometime in the story, thanks for the idea.

Sorry if it's really crappy, lol. I fail. XD

Chapter 10: Matt

"I'm sorry," Mello said the first time, and he looked into my eyes. His eyes were darting around, searching for an answer I couldn't give him. Slowly, he moved closer towards me, until we were only a few inches apart. I held my breath. I knew full well what was coming. I could have stepped back, pushed him away. But I didn't. Instead, I took my hand from his, moving it slowly up his arm. He shivered under my touch, and our heads moved towards each other's. With his breath on my lips, he whispered another "I'm sorry" before closing the distance.

My heart started pounding as our lips met, and my lips started to tingle. I pulled myself closer to him, our lips moving slowly, uncertainly. Careful of our injuries, I brought one hand to his chest gingerly, and placed the other one on his cheek. He tasted of chocolate, something I had never been found of before this moment.

After what seemed like a few seconds, he broke us apart, and I gasped for breath. He stepped back from me, regret on his face.

"I-I'm sorry," he stuttered. A blush dusted across his cheeks, and he brought a hand to his lip.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked, afraid of the answer. Was that all a mistake? Did he not want to kiss me? He was the one that started it, dammit. I needed to know the answer.

"I-" he turned away, trying to make it to the door. I grabbed his arm and turned him to face me, our heads dangerously close. He gasped, freezing in place.

"You're sorry?" I said quietly, not knowing where much courage was coming from. "Don't be." I brought my lips to his again. This kiss wasn't like the other; there was so much more behind it, not just the want to kiss. I felt as though an ocean of feelings were running between us, fueled by want and something else. Fear.

I realized why I was kissing Mello in that moment. Not because I was in love with him. I had met him about two times before, and there would be no way in hell that he was in love with me. There wasn't enough time for us to fall in love.

No, I was in this bathroom, kissing Mello for another reason. I needed him. I was lonely, too damn lonely in this hospital, and he was the only person who could make me feel like I was not lonely, make me feel like I was healthy, even if only for a moment. That was something I needed, something to keep me sane in my sanctuary of needles and operations (A/N: I feel so poetic, lol. XD). And I knew Mello's fear: his fear to get close to me. He had a right to fear that. I was sick, and I was dying. The chance of that changing was so slim it was laughable. I understood why he didn't want to get close to me. I would just end up leaving him, hurt and broken. I felt the need to pull away from him then, to tell him that this was all my fault. That he should just let me leave and forget about ever meeting me. But I couldn't do that. I was selfish. For as much as I didn't want to hurt him, I didn't want to leave him. I couldn't afford to.

Mello pulled me close to him, snapping me out of my thoughts. He lightly bit down on my lip, and I gasped. He took the opportunity to insert his tongue into my mouth, and I moaned. I had never imagined anything could feel so good. As his tongue explored my mouth, he brought his good hand to my face, cupping my cheek. I felt my knees go weak. He moved us back, and I felt my back hit the wall. I brought my hands to his neck, my tongue fighting his for dominance. He pressed our bodies closer together, and-

"GO Mello!" I heard someone scream, followed by a wolf whistle. Mello and I broke apart, turning to the door. Our breath was ragged, and I felt Mello shift slightly, creating more space between us. My heart sank a little.

I looked at the person who had screamed; black hair, white shirt, blue jeans, and…jam?

Mello stiffened. "What are you doing here, B?" he said, taking yet another step away from me.

B cackled. "We decided you might want some company, but-" his eyes raked over me "it seems as though you have all the company you need." He started laughing again.

"B, get the fuck out of here!" Mello yelled. B just smiled.

"Hey, guys," B called, turning around, "I found Mello and he has a…" he looked at me "…friend."

I felt my heart stop. There were more of Mello's friends here. I couldn't meet them, not after what had happened with B. I pushed off the wall. "I have to go," I told Mello.

"Wait, Matt!" he said, grabbing my hand. I flinched, and he dropped it instantly. "You don't have to leave." I looked at him, a look of regret on his face.

I turned away. "I have an appointment," I said hurriedly, making up something that sounded at least a little convincing. I knew Mello didn't believe it, and neither did B.

"Matt!" Mello called after me, but I didn't turn around. I pushed past B, ran past the rest of Mello's friends, and down the hall. I made it to me room and collapsed on my bed, letting the tears fall freely from my eyes.

Mello

I glared at B, only able to watch as Matt ignored me and ran out of the bathroom. I was pissed off. Matt probably hated me now, all because of B. I could have killed him.

"B, you BASTARD!" I screamed at him, knowing full well he would be able to beat the shit out of me if I tried anything. "Why did you have to do that?"

B looked at me, fake regret on his face. "Aw, I'm sorry, Mels, I didn't know Red was going to react like that." I pushed past him, going to my room. I was done talking to him.

When I got to my room, L, A, and Near were there. They were watching all watching me. B came in behind me.

"You guys'll never guess what I found. Our little Mels was getting all close and personal with Red in the bathroom."

"Shut up, B!" I yelled at him. "His name's not Red! It's Matt." I was seriously contemplating killing him.

Near looked at me, twisting his hair. "Well, Mello," he said in his nonchalant voice, "Matt looked upset when he left."

My stomach dropped. Was it because of me?

"So," L asked, "who was that, Mello?"

I turned to face L. He wasn't trying to judge me, just curious. "He's no one," I said quietly.

B snorted. "He didn't seem like no one. Would you really have ' no one' pinned up against the wall, shoving you tongue down his thro-"

"Shut up B! This has nothing to do with you!" I looked at everyone. "Leave. Now."

L nodded. "That would probably be the best." He got up, everyone else following his lead. Soon I was alone in my room. I sank onto my bed.

How could I screw something up so much?

A/N:
