It was my birthday which was July fifth and mello kissed my lips to wake me up. He then pulled back and we both touched our tingling lips while shyly looking at the other. My guess was that it was his first kiss too. I got up and he told me to meet him outside. I got dressed wondering what he had outside for me. Now obviously he rarely went romantic we mostly stuck like kids having fun and freedom but something told me this was going to romantic and huge.

So I went and met him outside. He took my hand. This was something we did mostly in secret. It still felt like the most powerful thing aside from that kiss. Eventually we got to a picnic table with Matt and sushi set up on a plate. I sat down and ate. Matt got me another note book. I would use that one for school. Mello then pulled out a gift. It was the silver skull bracelet I was admiring in the shop. I didn't know he knew I saw this. I mean yes I liked it but I also liked it because it reminded me of something Mello would wear in the mafia.

We spent the time talking about various subjects as I dined on my sushi. Matt then left telling us that he had to go back inside to recharge his game boy. I rolled my eyes as I could see through that lie. "S-So did you like your present?" he asked and I put my hand still so he could fasten the bracelet.

"yes I think you gave the best two presents" I replied smiling as he fastened the bracelet on my wrist. He ducked down blushing this boyfriend stuff was embarrassing him and completely new to him. I liked this side of him. "How did you like the sushi?" I asked

"It's good but I wouldn't recommend it with chocolate" he said laughing and we both made a face at the idea. Even if it sounded like a bad mix, I wanted to try it. Maybe it would be something good. We then made fun of near together saying things like Near couldn't get a kiss or a date from somone not a pedophile or drunk, to the boy being so anti social even the most anti social was more social than him. Hearing Mello laugh with me made the day better. After that, he took me to the top of the hill and we laid on our backs watching the clouds. We talked about what we saw in the clouds some G rated other a PG thirteen. Mello and I blushed at the dirty ones we saw. Then unexpectedly he got up and tripped ended up rolling down he hill laughing as he went down. Of course rolled down and as he landed, we laughed. "well we aren't jack and jill but you defiantly came tumbling after" he aid humor sparkling in his eyes and a carefree, boyish smile that had my heart seizing. It was just like before.

It was June fourteenth. The sun beat down on us as we were nestled on a sturdy branch away from the others. "so what do you want for your birthday?" Mello asked. Seeing as my birthday was coming up, I really didn't think it was a bad topic to talk about as most out topics had been less deep.

"well you but umm what I want most we can wait for but I would like to wake up with you kissing me" I said softly looking into his warm, ice colored eyes. He nodded so I expected that at least.

Mello then looked at me. "so why did you want that kiss?"

"It's every girl's dream to be kissed by their prince" I said smiling.

"so fairy tale stuff" He said before frowning"What if I'm not the prince? What if I'm the dragon?" I caressed his cheek. He closed his eyes relaxing to my touch

"Then you are my dragon. A dragon I wouldn't change for the world" I said playing with his golden hair. "In china dragons were looked for even treated like gods" He looked at me I wasn't sure if he knew that or not but seeing his reaction it was the right thing to say.

"I can see why the dragons kept the princesses in towers." He said before running his finger through my hair. "it's cause the dragon loved the princess and wanted to keep her for himself"

"then be my dragon and when you leave here if you can try not to fall for another" I asked his eyes widened.

"why would I leave here? I got the opportunity to be L's next in line, I have you, I have Matt my best friend." He asked shocked.

"If I told you you'd never believe me just promise to try"

"ok ok I promise" he said a bit creeped out and worried but I decided to ease it a bit by holding his hand.
