Matt opened his eyes to see a flash of blond hair. There was a warm figure leaning against his shoulder.
"Mello?"
The blond opened his eyes and looked at the red head.
It really was Mello…
"Don't get the wrong idea, dumb ass. I just came because I saw the tracking device headed towards the hospital and I thought you might have tried to off yourself. I just need a few minutes sleep, and then I'm leaving again."
"You're having nightmares as well?"
"…Every night."
"Same here." Matt pulled the keys to the motorcycle out of his pocket, holding them out to Mello. "The helmet is on the seat next to you. I lied. The tracking device was in your crucifix, not the motorcycle."
"Cunning." Mello took the keys, handing him the keys to the car. "Now shut up and let me sleep."
"Just a sec. This is for you."
Matt took a piece of crumpled paper from his pocket, handing it to the blond. Mello frowned and opened it up.
The piece of paper simple read 'You.'
"What's this?"
"Remember? A note a year on the 20th of May."
"This is a note? But it just says 'You'…"
"I know. Now stop talking and get some sleep. I'm just as tired as you are."
"Whatever."
Mello stuffed the note into the pocket of his leather pants, leaning his head back against Matt's warm shoulder. The red head leaned his own head against the blond's, closing his eyes softly.
The detectives soon fell asleep, both of them falling into a dreamless sleep.
-x-
"Matt, wake up."
The red head gave a slight yawn, blinking slightly. He looked up at Sasori whom had woken him.
"Huh?" Matt looked to see the seat next to him was empty. Had he dreamed that Mello had been there?
He pulled a pair of keys from his pocket. They were the keys to his car. Matt looked to see Mello's bike helmet was also gone.
Guess he hadn't been dreaming…
He looked back up at the puppet.
"Sorry, must have fallen asleep. What's the time?"
"4am, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"That's okay."
"Do you wanna see the baby?"
Matt blinked slightly.
"What? Oh, sure."
The red head stood up out of the seat. Sasori began leading him through the halls of the hospital.
He bought him to a room, opening the door for the detective. Matt walked inside of the hospital room. Deidara sat in the bed, cradling a bundle of baby blue blankets in his arms. The blonde looked up at him, giving a smile.
"Thanks for taking me to the hospital, Matt."
"No problem. Well, good to see you and the baby are okay. See ya."
Matt turned to leave.
"Wait, don't you wanna see the baby, un?"
Matt stopped and looked back.
"Huh?"
"Do you wanna hold him?"
"So it's a boy?" Matt turned back. "Ah…Sorry, I don't really think that would be a good idea..."
"Well at least take a look at him, un!"
He blinked at them.
"…Okay."
He made his way next to the bed. Deidara showed the bundle of blankets to the red head.
Matt moved his goggles to his forehead and stared at the little life in the blonde's arms. A small face blinked up at him with two different coloured eyes.
Matt was completely awestruck.
"…What's his name?"
"Mikoto. It means Prince."
"…Cute." Matt continued to stare at the tiny face of the baby. He had actually never seen a baby before, except the odd one in games and on some cartoons he had seen. He gave a soft smile, blinking his own dark blue eyes softly. The baby blinked back with its brown eye and its blue eye. "Very cute."
-x-
Mello stared at the letter Matt had given him 2 days ago. He was trying to figure out what it meant. On the table also sat the other letters Matt had sent him over the years in order.
'You say "The bunny hops once," to I
And so cheers the little girl with hope
"Children are so easy," Says I to you
So I have to once more get
Gather around and I shall show this
Here, have this plain household note.
The little boy then whispers thanks
I say the magic words and so
Without thinking about as much
The balloon explodes for
You with pieces everywhere breaking
The sun then lights up the eyes of your
And you bow down low with a promise.
"Oh please," says you to I
"Whatever it is I will
With my many servants send
If you just perform another"
I then disappear leaving but a letter
'For you' it's addressed to
'If you know one thing it is this
It does not matter about your house
For every man, next to next
No matter what time of year,
Everyone is the same
Whatever birth, death or time.'
-It does not Matter.
'Know, I personally am happy not saying mad insults (at things you enjoy) anymore. Still, I wanna know! When you use will power, not every reply has to be this way as, hopefully, you know. Have you no secret way used to cunningly send Anonimasu one flower back? Still, I really wish that you do good for Shiawase, though. Keep happy away again! From Dexter Toraburu.'
That I keep on writing is a bit of a miracle. Really I don't know why I keep sending these notes to you. I don't have anything to say. I am doing fine, and I hope you are doing fine as well. I wonder if you are even getting these letters…Oh well, they are the only thing that keep me sane. Hope you are okay. Stay away from trouble and don't do anything too drastic.
I hope you are doing well, Micro. Does Diane really believe in Santa? I thought she was way too old for that stuff! I guess some people just never grow up. What day is the festival? It really sounds like fun! I'd really like to see you again! I'm sorry; I just had to write to you again! Grrr, I'd love a new pen since this one has almost run out! But I know I will just have to keep dreaming. I hope that your puppy will be okay after that fight with the cat! I'm sure it will, so stay happy! Anyway, I hope you are okay, not that I would know if you weren't. It isn't fun not being in contact with you! Send me your mobile number when you get the chance! Take care, Micro! Signed, your cousin, Ace.
'Love is infinite, but I am not
Very soon my life will rot.
Why must I believe you're always right?
My, you're so beautiful tonight.
Your beauty, sorrow and your woe
They are your own seeds to sow.
You speak over me as you always do.
Why so unbelieving in my love are you?
But still, Maybe you'll bear the urge to say,
Even though everything in my eyes is okay,
That the life you live is just too hard,
Without my light you let down your guard.
Sorry, Love, our world is now dead.'
Forever Without, -Quotro Rafed
You.
Mello frowned at them.
There had to be something else about the letters. You…What did tha-
…
Mello stared at the letters.
Wait…
…He was right…He had been right the whole time…The secret message…So…Ever since then…
Mello folded the papers back up carefully and looked out the hotel window.
It was pouring with rain. Oh well, he had never gotten sick before in his life.
He stood up and begun packing his stuff into the rucksack.
-x-
Matt was busily typing on his computer. He took a drag of his cigarette, and stopped clicking away on the keys momentarily. The red head took a few seconds to listen to the roar of the pouring rain. There was a clap of lightning, followed by the boom of thunder.
"It's really storming down."
He looked to the clock. 11:26pm…
"I guess I'll go to bed so-"
He was cut off by the sound of an engine, barely audible above the hammering rain. Matt was silent. He looked to the door. The engine disappeared.
Matt continued to stare at the door for a few minutes. He didn't hear the door bell, or anyone knock.
His eyes slipped over to the clock.
11:39pm.
How long had he been staring for?
Matt stood up and made his way over to the entrance of his house. He opened the brown wooden door and stepped out into the cold night, protected from the rain by the veranda. The wooden flooring was cold against his bare feet.
Standing out in the pouring rain was none other than Mihael Keehl.
"Mello? Why are you out in the rain? You can come onto the verand-"
"Say it, Mail."
The rain seemed to lighten slightly, as if to let Matt hear Mello's words.
"…Huh?"
"I don't want it written down. That's not good enough. Say it out loud, Mail. I need to hear it."
…
Matt moved his goggles to his forehead, blinking his hypnotic eyes slowly. He took the cigarette from his mouth and flicked it out into the rain.
"On three conditions, Mihael."
"Whatever you want…"
"Okay. Number one. I say when, how and if we have sex."
Mello continued to stare stoically at him, not breaking eye contact with Matt's big bright orbs.
"Done."
Wasn't the blond cold? He was standing in the icy rain without a jacket on to protect himself from the weather…
"Good. Number two. No sleeping with any one else. This also goes if I decide we don't have sex. It's either me or no one."
"Done."
"And number three. No matter what happens, Mihael…You can't ever leave me again. I am being serious this time. If you ever do, then I'm not just going to hunt you down, but I will kill you as well. And if I can't find you, I'll just kill myself instead. No joke."
Matt's expression revealed that he was being deadly serious with the threat.
Mello blinked his baby blue eyes softly, the rain running down his scarred face.
"I swear I will never leave you again, Mail. Now tell me."
"You know, I was going to tell you all those years ago. If only you had stayed that night…"
"Stop stalling."
Matt blinked his large eyes, and then let a careful smirk grace his lips.
He then said the hidden message within the notes which he had been trying to reveal to the blond since the very first letter.
The first word of each note.
"You Know That I Love You."
Mello stared at him for a few more seconds, before taking one step forward onto the first stair leading up to the veranda. He went up onto the second step, and then the third. He took an almost hesitant last footstep and was now standing on the porch, a mere meter from the red head.
The blond quickly closed the gap, flinging his arms around the red head.
Matt wrapped his arms around the soaking wet blond.
Shit, Mello was as cold as ice.
"Let's get you inside and warmed up before you catch a cold."
"I missed you, Matt."
Matt smiled softly at his blond, softly stoking his soaking wet hair tenderly.
"I missed you too, Mello."
He really did Love the blond.
Mello refused to let go of him for some reason. Matt rolled his eyes and decided to pick the blond up. Mello wrapped his legs around the red head's waist for support. Matt bought him inside out of the cold, closing the door behind them.
"Seriously Mello, you're freezing. Let's get you out of that wet leather."
The blond nodded slightly against his neck, shivering from the bitter temperature.
"I drove here on my motorcycle in the rain."
Matt bought the blond into their bedroom, placing him down gently onto the carpeted flooring.
"From where?"
"Iwagakure. It's two hours away from here."
Matt removed the rucksack from the blond's back and begun removing the soaking clothing. He gently kissed Mello on the cheek, his hot lips pressing against the blond's icy flesh.
"You're so warm, Matt."
Mello managed to pull one of his boots off, and Matt removed the other one for him. Matt stood up and moved to the chest of draws. Mello pulled off his soaking wet leather pants, placing his gun to the side. Matt came back a few seconds later, handing the blond a pair of his own boxers (since Mello probably didn't have any).
The blond slipped them on, shuddering. He was still cold.
Matt picked Mello up once more, placing him down onto the unmade bed. The blond crawled under the covers, though he was still freezing.
Matt exited the room, turning off the lights to the rest of the house. He made his way back to the bedroom and pulled his own striped shirt off, his goggles getting caught in the material and falling to the floor as well. Matt didn't bother to pick them up. He switched the light to the bedroom off and crawled into the messy bed.
Matt pulled the freezing Mello to his bare chest, wrapping his arms around the blond. Mello closed his tired eyes, soaking in some of the red head's body heat.
"Thank you, Matt…"
"Shhh, sleep."
Mello nodded slightly, giving a gentle sigh, completely content with life as long as he was in the red head's arms.
Both detectives soon fell back to sleep. Mello's sleep was peaceful and dreamless, while Matt's sleep was still tainted with the reoccurring nightmares.
