Mello POV:

I can´t say that I didn´t enjoy having Matt obey to my every whim. I was however a bit sick of being treated as if I was about to die any second. Matt had a good reason to be spooked though, I in his eyes had collapsed and stopped breathing for a few minutes, so he probably thought I would die any second.

Matt cooped me up in our room and wrapped me up in a bunch of blankets making me sweat more than ever, that of course made Matt worry about a fever. My friend, however, shooed my excuses away and would not let me do anything by myself, he even stood outside the bathroom, ready to rush in at any second. Not that I wouldn´t like having him rushing in, I did date the older him. Maybe I should try dating someone else for a short while to make sure Matt still likes me even back in time. If he does I would notice after a few weeks of me being with someone else.

I had no idea how to get in contact with Light Yagami with Matt practically hanging on my leg. Maybe I can send an Email in code? He would understand it right? Then again if Near, Matt or L got a hold of it then so would they and I don´t want them to know this fast that I plan to let thousands die because of Fate, something they don´t really believe in. Not that I blame them, I didn´t believe in Fate before I got transported back in time.

I laid there in my bed and waited until Matt stood up from his to go to the bathroom. Shooting out of bed I trotted over to my laptop that Matt had confiscated and sat down my younger bum on my chair. I was dressed in dark grey short shorts, my pajama that looked like the future shorts where the bum is seconds away from hanging out. I don´t remember why I have it, might have been a small joke but jokes on you I actually like it, especially since short shorts will be popular in a few years.

Sweat trickled down my back after having been sandwiched in blankets for the past two days. Letting my fingers fly over the keyboard I got into my mail account and tried to remember what email Light had. I decided to call him Light in my mind, he had after all not meant for Kira to happen, he had originally only tried to save some children in a school. The Death Note corrupts the owner, I can´t put all the blame on him when he was the biggest victim. It litterally says in its rules that the person holding the notebook will be possessed by a god of death.

I hope that he does not kill me, or that I have to kill him. He would probably be an awesome dude to know if he wasn´t you know, murdering people. L liked him so there must be something about him that made him likeable, something I want to find out. I need more people to be around other than Matt, Near and the other orphans, I need to connect ties.

I began to tap down the words on the Email.

Yo, Fagami. I think you know what this is about but if not… then fuck off and forget that this was ever sent to you. I will need to know when you get the notebook or a visit from Ryuk. We might have to pretend to be friends, or maybe even long-distance partners to not trip up any real suspicion when we communicate. Or we can play it off and say we am working on something, but someone might question that and not many will be that surprised that we are gay. I know you don´t want your parents knowing at the moment but sooner is better than later. Do you plan to try and woo Ryuzaki? I saw how you two were in Mu. -M

I nodded to myself and slammed the laptop shut after sending it. Light would know immediately that it was me, I was the only one that would dare call him Fagami, L probably told him lots of stuff about me in Mu. "What are you doing up? You need rest!" Matt clucked like some sort of hen and pushed me into the bed, shaking his head. "Here" he stuffed chocolate into my mouth and my mind went immediately to one version of me in some strange universe where I was a fat drunkard in leather clothes that could not even cover me. Hairy belly flopping about as I controlled gangs. Then I pushed that image aside, the chances of me getting fat because of chocolate was small since most of the versions shown in Mu I was never affected by the chocolate consumption. Plus… looks weren´t that important and being fat does not mean unattractive, Matt would look hot with a few extra pounds or more…

Grumbling I chewed the chocolate, "I am feeling fine though. Just a slight fever left. I need to move!" Matt shook his head and rewrapped me in blankets. "No, you don´t what you need is rest" he held up a finger, "Don´t try to fight me, I will win this." I pouted and grumbled. I knew that when Matt got this tone everything had to be compromised, might as well give up for the time being.

Matt raised an eyebrow as he saw me give in, "wow, you actually caved. You have been a bit different since you became sick… you will need to be in bed for longer then." Damn it!

A week has gone, and Matt finally lets me walk around on my own. I had almost forgotten how much of a mother hen Matt can be. He doesn´t mess around, I have had almost no human interaction other than Matt for days, and even I was getting desperate for talk. I might even interact with younger Nancy Near without insulting the creepy sheep.

I might at some time get to talk with L, he would after all interact with us from time to time between his cases to make sure we were progressing and getting along well. I knew he didn´t want any of us to be mentally unstable, since we all know how easily that can happen with genii.

It was night now, and I had been twisting and turning in hopes of convincing Matt (who was in bed near me) that I was asleep. Matt who was the master of looking through my rouses, did fortunately not notice any deceivement, days of mother henning me having made him tired. Poor Matt.

Slipping out of bed I remember the wings I had in Mu and wondered if they actually had transferred over to me.

Rolling my head to look at my shoulder blades I focused on the wonderful wings I had acquired in Mu.

My back burned, and tears welled up in my eyes, obscuring my vision. Luckily it wasn´t as bad as it had been in Mu, otherwise I would have woken Matt, but it still hurt.

The wings were the same as in Mu. Dynamic. The same color as my hair, but with nice bright yellow highlights. They were muscled, but I could see that I would need to train them, they could probably only glide at the moment, if even that. I was just a large chicken, or a Thanks Giving turkey.

I looked over to a sleeping Matt who had his ruffled red hair sticking up in all places. My dear young friend was curled up, hugging a special controller that acted like a teddy bear for him. He looked so sweet, so innocent, that I could not help but to run a hand through his silky hair.

Matt had not washed it in a week, since his hair barely needed any maintenance (only once or twice a week) but his body was damp since he loved taking late night showers. I would bet he would go and really clean his hair tomorrow though; his hair needed its weekly care. I can only imagine how my hair would look like after a week without washing. I had that kind of hair that demanded a through wash every day. Near found it fun to tease about, his white locks only needed care every three days or so. Not that Near brushed that mop of hair though, he only washed it before letting it dry in such a way that it made him look like a troll or a ruffled sheep.

My friend mumbled in his sleep before curling up some more. I noticed how he mothed Mello in his sleep before smiling. My heart aced at the thought of maybe dating someone else to see if Matt was interested in me. I didn´t really want to, Matt was so loyal and if he liked me the same way I liked him then it would be such a bad move. I don´t want to hurt his feelings, he was amazing!

My wings fluttered as I blushed. My adult and current child mind merging together as I looked at Matt sleeping. I could feel younger me in the back of my mind shocked that his friend liked him, and I could not help but feel happy, but also sad.

Was it creepy that me (mentally an adult) found a younger Matt so cute in more than one way? Was it pedophilia and wrong even if it was only one person on this earth that it was about? I was technically two Mello at once, the younger me in the back of my head feeling the same things as I did…

I should wait atleast a year before doing anything… maybe. I have to know if Matt like me in a romantic way, who knows, maybe things change drastically in small ways when you go back to your old body?

I focused on making my wings disappear dreading the burning feeling. It of course came, but instead of the wings going back into my shoulders, they fell off while burning slightly, turning to ashes, a few feathers left from when my wings had fluttered previously. I had probably looked like some chicken phoenix for a second there… cool!

Matt grumbled and sniffed in his sleep, he had probably smelt the slight smoke in his subconsciousness. I would protect him with all my might, no matter what I had to do, Matt (and maybe Near if I felt like it, he was such an annoying child) will be under my protection. Kira… Shinigami, you will be taken care of!

A/n: Should Matsuda be brought back as well? No one would expect that the goofy guy would know some stuff about Kira, and will he recognize other time travelers if he does get transported to his old body?

Maybe I should make a separate story later where Matsuda is the only one back in time… hmmm choices
