I slowly opened my eyes to darkness and I felt beneath my face was freezing cold stone. Carefully I got myself into a sitting condition. Once I was up I could hear a breathy stream of "Matt. Matt. Are you there, Matt? Matt."

I gasped "Mello!?" looking around frantically before finally locking my eyes with a still form against the wall "Mello?" I asked much calmer.

"I can't move." was the response I got.

"Why can't you move?"

"I'm tied here." he slightly chuckled. "C'mere... please."

I quickly made my way to him. Then stopped what I think was a few feet away and slowly reached my hand to him; feeling clammy and cold skin, then slowly I looked for his scar. Tracing my fingers to where it should be, I felt a warm substance that Mello hissed at when I touched. "Wh-what is that!?"

"They opened my scar" he said a little hesitantly. "so its bleeding."

"Do you need my blood?" I asked.

"No!" he shouted then started calmer "If I try to-- drink your blood they will..." he paused.

"What?" I asked cautiously.

"...they'll rip out my fangs."

"Then what should I- I don't know what to do." I said hopelessly.

"Matt will you- will you touch me?"

"What? Why?"

"My scar feels better whenever you touch my face."

I felt my insides quiver "O-kay." I slowly leaned forward placing my hands on his face I leaned forward swiping my tongue across his scar and getting that sweet-salty-coppery taste on my tongue. Mello let a gasp lose but soon recovered from what I think was surprise. The taste calmed me down and I slowly ran my tongue up and down the side. Then I remembered something I hadn't gotten to say the other day "I love you Mello." I moved to kiss a patch of frosty skin.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes. I'm glad to be with you again." I kissed the bloody section of skin. I licked my lips "Are you and I... going to die?" I asked timidly.

"I still don't know. I accidentally mentioned you so they had to pause all judging because they want to meet you to see if you really are mine. I'm sorry I got you into this." I scooted closer to him; straddling his legs I leaned close to him.

I don't know what I should do or say to make him feel better... I don't think telling him about my plan from earlier would make anything better. I traced my fingers across his face finding his lips I got an idea. I placed my tongue in between my teeth biting down as hard as I could until I tasted my own rusty flavored blood. I kept the blood on my tongue until finally I slipped it into his mouth. I felt him hesitate before nipping and sucking violently at my tongue, just a few seconds later he forcefully ripped away from me. "Mello?"

"Don't do that. They'll know." he whispered.

"Sorry." I leaned against him but kept my hands on his face "So do you know whats going to happen at all?"

"No. Not really." he took a long pause before continuing "Did the ones who brought you here say who they were?"

"N-no. Does that mean something?"

"It might. Did you see them?"

"Yeah, it was a women and a man with black hair."

"It must have been Naomi Misora and Raye Penber. They are a human and vampire couple, they must be here to help this judging."

For some reason knowing this made it to real for me. "Mello" I wrapped my arms tightly around him "I-I'm scared. I don't even understand why you are in trouble! L said that what Near was trying to do to me was a sin so shouldn't he be the one in trouble?"

"What else did L say about that?" he asked ignoring my question.

"Just that it was sin because it would cause me to fall in love with Near."

"There is another more then likely case that Near would just kill you." Mello said "Which would probably cause me to die as well, its weird he didn't tell you that. Anyway if I am sentenced to death if I beg enough they might let you go but, they will assign you a vampire."

"What does that mean?"

"They'll have you fall in love with another vampire that their mate has already died or something of that sort." he said sounding upset.

"No! If you're going to die I--!" I paused for a second "I don't want you to leave me Mello. You're the only one who has always been there for me."

"I should never have gone after you Matt." what he said made something in my being sting horribly. He really regrets finding me? I felt the tears slowly fall out of my eyes so I moved up on his lap and closer to him. "I'm sorry." he said.

I fell asleep curled up on his body after who knows how long of silent weeping. If Mello knew I was crying he never said a thing. It made me feel better that he didn't say anything because I felt really stupid for crying like that and I wasn't really up for any of that "trying to make everything better when it can't be". When I woke up I heard Mello yelling "No don't touch him!"

I sprang up noticing I wasn't laying on him anymore. "Mello?"

"Matt will you get up for me?" he said this so nicely I stood up seeing there were a few other figures around me, but found Mello immediately and latched my arms around one of his that went around to his back probably tied up. "Matt." he blew a deep sweet breath at my nose which I stood on my tip toes to catch a whiff of.

"Oh that's sweet." I heard a voice cackle. "You've really got this act down human."

"Act!?" I yelled.

"We all know this vampire" he said the last word reluctantly "isn't really in love with you he is a liar and he will burn in hell for that. As for you who knows."

What does he mean? Mello and I... we are in love right? I love Mello and he loves me too... but L did say he was here before. Did Mello pretend to be in love with someone else? Is he doing the same thing now!? I felt my grip around him loosen. N-no! He isn't because I know I'm in love with him at the very least and I'm not small minded enough to just act this dramatic over nothing! Besides I'm used to unrequited love. I tightened my grip again. "I am in love with Mello."

"If that's what you say." another more annoying voice said.

"That's what I know!" the one with the cackling voice went on Mello's other side grabbing his arm and pulling us out into a brightly lit hallway. I looked up at Mello; his face was back to its normal beautifully scared self. "You're not bleeding?" I asked him.

"No, you fixed that for me." he smiled. I looked at the one holding Mello's other arm. He had slightly spiked up hair and small narrow eyes. I looked at the one behind us; he had rounder eyes and his hair was only a little spiky but went strait down. "I love you Matt." Mello said with a sad smile.
