Red
By: The Gazette
The deeper I know you Hold me, although I knew it's a lie I'm shivering in the rain that began to fall Hold me, although I knew it's a lie I nodded to your words that were mingled with a sigh If it's a given everything will have an end Hold me, although I knew it's a lie
the more I end up not understanding you at all
And yet I cannot see something like a red string
because I cannot undo my faith for you
I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips
I will be satisfied by your warmth
I can't go back, even now
Without holding an umbrella
Because I'm afraid of knowing loneliness
I wanted you and yet I cannot see something
like a red string
because I cannot undo
my longing for you
I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips
I will be satisfied by your warmth
I can't go back, Even now
"We will be able to laugh
together at our disagreements again"
'I want to believe it'
And yet I cannot see something like a red string
Because I cannot undo my faith for you
We will certainly for eternity
If it is said nothing is certain
We can swear by our tomorrow
I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips
I will be satisfied by your warmth
I can't go back, even now

Wednesday
Mello sat in the kitchen at the table as he read about history's greatest murder cases, nomming on a freshly opened chocolate bar. He liked staying with Misa and her tool of a boyfriend... but he felt empty and lonely without his annoying gamer to boss around from time to time. No matter how much he missed the redhead though, he refused to be the first to apologize. Matt told him to never come back, which meant he had to do some serious begging to even set foot in the yard. Mello would rather commit suicide than apologize or beg anyone for forgiveness.
"Well, you seem to be quite the morning sun."
Mello looked up with an irritated growl to see Raito smiling down at him with a hot cup of coffee. The guy was like a ghost, you barely noticed when he entered the damn room.
"It usually takes Misa til early evening to wake up." Raito said as he took a seat next to the annoyed looking blonde.
Mello felt like the brown haired man was coming on to him. All he ever did was try and talk to him. He was so nice to him that it made Mello want to vomit. "Don't you suppose to be at work or something?" Mello murmured as he got back to his book.
"Hmmm~." Raito took a sip of his cooling black coffee. "I don't have to leave the house til nine o'clock. I thought I'd use my free time to get to know you a bit better Mello."
Mello book marked his page with a sigh before gently setting it down on the table. He looked at the brown haired man and folded his arms across his exposed chest, "What do you want, a blow job? I'm gunna let you know right here and now, I'm not a little tramp little my dear little sister."
Raito nearly spit out his coffee. He flushed ten shades of red as his left eye twitched, "N-no, nothing like that. I just-"
"What do you want. I can tell you don't really want to know anything about me. I see hidden intentions in your eyes." Mello was trained by L to spot these kinds of things.
Raito closed his eyes and let a slight smile grace his lips, "Oh no, you caught me. Okay, I wish to know about that little albino boy that you were living with."
Mello's displease of the topic clearly showed on his face. He hated how everyone seemed to be so obsessed with that little disgrace of nature. "What do you want to know?" Mello asked as he kept himself from grinding his teeth in anger.
"Where did you find him?" Raito simply asked.
Mello shrugged his shoulders with a sigh, "In the woods while me and Matt were on a picnic." He felt no need to go into great detail, it wasn't like he was gossiping.
"Why is he always wearing a hat?" Raito went in deep, he wanted to see how much the blonde actually knew.
Mello didn't answer for a moment, not too sure how much he should actually tell this man. Matt would never let him back in his life if he were to tell everyone breathing about the rabbit like child. As far as Raito or anyone else knew, Near was just a little girl who enjoyed to wear bunny ears. "Why do you want to know such a stupid thing?"
Apparently the blonde knew a lot. Raito shrugged casually, "Well, I just find it strange that someone would want to wear rabbit ears all~ the time." Raito's voice was filled with sarcasm.
Mello narrowed his eyes; he did not like being made a fool of, "You know... Don't you?"
Raito's only response was a sly grin and a small chuckle. "You catch on quite fast. You must have taken your sister's brain in your mother's womb." Raito could see the greed in the blonde's eyes when he first met him, he decided telling him a little secret wouldn't hurt much.
...
After a short story on how Near, Seth, and B came to be, Mello was mind blown and very interested, "So, you are telling me if we combine certain animal's DNA strands with our own, we are able to tap into our hidden strength?" Mello summed it up the best way he could.
"Mn, and as you saw with that boy and that unstable beast, I have a lot more work to do." Raito yawned.
"I actually like that you get to have certain animal traits... But it can be quite a bother to hide them from public view. The part I extremely hate is that it causes males to be fertile."
"That is the main problem I would like to correct... but i need at least one of my experiments back so I can find out where I went wrong."
"Well, B is certainly out of the question. He'll eat you whole once you even considered locking him back up. Now Near, I can help you with."
"You wouldn't mind betraying your little friend for me?"
Mello waved it off, "No, what he doesn't know won't hurt him... Well he'll get over it in time anyway."
"Excellent." Raito said with a pleased smile as he stood from his chair, "We can discuss this further once I return from work. I mean, if you want to that is."
"Sounds good to me." Mello said as he got back to his book.

"I'm so fat..." Near whispered softly as B helped the small boy into his bunny costume.
"You're pregnant thanks to that fucked up perv over there." B said as he pointed towards an embarrassed Matt, "You're supposed to be fat."
L rubbed his chin, "He is bigger than he is suppose to be though. He looks three months while he is merely two... I don't know if we should wait until next months for the ultrasound."
B scoffed, "What do you know about being pregnant? Just let nature take it's course."
Near ran over to Matt and took his hand as he looked up at him, "I don't want to go trick or treating." He complained.
Matt ran his fingers through the boy's soft curls, "Come on Near, it's B's and L's birthday. Do it for them at least?"
Near nodded... Everyone celebrated his birthday, he could bare a little of this just to make both B and L happy. There was then a knock at the door.
L sighed lazily as he went to the door, knowing B wasn't about to waste his precious time to answer it.
On L's birthday, it didn't matter how old he was, he always went trick or treating. The candy was enough of a present for him. B was going was what he would most likely have been if not for L. I bloody ax murderer. Near was going as, of course, a bunny. While Matt was going as Mario from his very first and favorite game The Mario Bros. L was going as himself, he looked like a creepy sleep deprived man anyway, why not use it?
"Hey~ Matty~" Matt heard a familiar voice purr his name.
Matt looked up and a hot blush burned his face, "Me-Mello?" As Matt said this Near's head shot up at the entrance to L's and B's shared room.
Mello was standing in the door way in a provocative pose wearing a tight leather dominatrix outfit complete with a whip. His blonde hair was highlighted black and pulled up into a high pony tail, it was clear he spent his time away from Matt growing his hair out long. He wore black lipstick and had eyeliner drawn darkly over his eyelids. He licked his lips as he eyed his former lover. H was acually going to have fun earning Matt's love back.
