"Hey Mels?" I called to the sleeping blonde slouched in the chair beside my hospital bed.

His eyes fluttered open through his long blonde hair. He groaned and leaned his head back, rubbing his neck. "Fuck...I feel like I got hit by a bus." Groggily he cracked his neck. "Are you feeling better at least?"

I nodded and smiled at him. "I'm feeling fine...Mihael."

"What? Oh, you read the note." He turned a little red. "Did you want something? You called my name didn't you?" Mello pushed his chair away from my bed and stood up.

I had to hold back my laughter as I watched the way Mello stretched and tried to regain use of his limbs that fell asleep.

He was hitting his legs to wake them up when I asked, "Is there something going on between you and my brother?"

I caught him so off guard that instead of hitting his legs, he hit the metal rim of my bed. "Fuck..." he hissed through his teeth. "What are you talking about Raine?"

"You guys made out the other day." I said, pointing out the obvious.

He rubbed his hands to try to stop the stinging pain and glared at me. "Only to try to freak you out and make you leave."

"Anyone could see that there's more than that Mels." I rolled my eyes.

I tossed him a chocolate bar before he got too pissed at me. He opened it and took a bite before saying, "Alright. I'll tell you. Your brother and I go to Club Metrocyde almost every other night, get drunk, and then go home. Twice we got completely wasted beyond all rational reasoning and fucked."

I blinked. "You and my brother..."

"Yes we fucked. If you'd like to compete with him on that too then I'd be more than happy to-"

I threw a pillow at him to shut him up. This one didn't cover him in feathers the way the other one did to Matt the first day I woke up in their apartment though. "Mello you're such an ass!"

"Don't ask me things you don't want an answer to. So...tell me about your love life. Surely you've had a hell of a lot of guys interested in you." Mello sat in the window sill and watched me get off of the bed.

I doubted Mello wanted to know about my past, about my ex-boyfriend. I was already a mountain of drama; did I really need to add...him to this pile? By him I mean none other than my ex-boyfriend Kane. I shook my head in response to Mello's question. The bad-ass, heart of stone blonde that was in front of me confessed to me that he loved me. I didn't need Kane screwing this up.

I knew Mihael wanted an answer to his question so I answered him with another question. "Did you see the huge bruise on my leg when you guys were cleaning the blood off of me?"

"Any bruise we saw would have been associated with you nearly getting gang-raped and killed outside of Metrocyde that night. Why? What does that have to do with...don't tell me he...hit you?" Mels caught on about halfway through his response. If he wanted to hear the story about Raine and Kane then I guess I'd tell him.

I plopped down into the chair Mello slept in and sighed. "It all started when I was 15. I met this guy in school named Kane and we started dating. I was in 9th grade and we met through our friends. Everything was fine for about a year or so until he started screwing around behind my back and texting other girls and sending pictures to other girls. I thought it would stop after he promised it would but it didn't. Things got worse two years later; he got...violent."

Mello was serious, like Mafia member serious. "Then what did that prick do to you?"

"He insulted me constantly; called me names, said ignorant shit to me. He shoved me into a wall one day and that's how I got that bruise on my leg; it never goes away. He twisted my arm, nearly broke my finger, and threatened to get a restraining order on me." I paused. "I put up with it for four years until finally I just said Fuck it and left him and all of Norway behind to come find my brother."

I used to cry when I told people about Kane but now, not even the slightest tear threatened my eyes. Mello hopped off of the sill and stared at me intently. "Why didn't you ever report him or tell Julie?"

"I loved him! Four years does a lot to a person Mello." I felt tears threatening to escape my once blue-green eyes.

Mello's face was unreadable. I felt warm tears rolling down my face slowly. "Don't ask me things you don't want an answer to."

The blonde simply nodded and then sat back on the window sill, watching the people and cars outside. I gathered all of my stuff that Matt and Mello brought to the hospital for me and then found the pair of clothes they brought for me. Matt remembered what I had said earlier about wearing Mello's clothes; I found the long-sleeved shirt I bought and Mello's vest and pants. I closed the curtain around the bed and slipped off the stupid gown thing the nurses put me in. I was really tired of people changing my clothes; I could do that myself.

Mello didn't move an inch; he just stayed there sitting on the window sill. I pulled on the leather pants and wondered how Mello breathed in them, and I'm a girl so I don't know how Mello wears these pants. Luckily, we're around the same height and he's really skinny or I wouldn't be able to wear these; they were so tight to my legs that I could have peeled them off. Anyway, I pulled on the white shirt over my head and then put Mello's vest on over top of that. I still felt a little bit exposed but at least I was keeping to my end of the dare.

I peered underneath the curtain to see if I still saw Mello's combat boots dangling off the window sill. No matter how low to the ground I sunk, I didn't see him. Did he move?

"I said it once and I'll say it again. You look incredible in my clothes." Mello said from behind me.

I screamed and covered my mouth quickly; I was in a hospital after all. "How long have you been watching me?"

"I wasn't watching you," he smirked. "I saw you looking under the curtain for me so I decided to sneak up on you." Mello crossed his arms across his chest.

Wearing combat boots was never specifically a part of the dare so I slipped on my flip-flops and walked right around Mello and out the door. He was close behind of course.

(Mello's Point of View)

It was hard to believe that this elevator was the same elevator Matt and I broke down crying in the other day. It was hard to believe that a few days ago, Raine had a death sentence. I could barely take my eyes off of her in the elevator; why? Well for one thing, she was wearing my clothes...again, but this time it was on her own will. She looked really...pretty for some reason; not just because of my clothes but because she was alive, because we were just that much closer to catching Kira, to beating Near.

She raised an eyebrow at me and asked, "What? Do I really look that weird in your clothes Mels?"

"No it's not that." I suddenly had a realization that I had gone a few hours without eating chocolate.

Raine stepped closer to me and ran her fingers through my hair. "Then what is it?"

It was hard to believe that Raine had evolved from cowering from me behind Matt to running her fingers through my hair and making out with me in the back seat of her brother's car. It was hard to believe that I saved this girl's life twice. I reached up and took her hand that was entwined in my hair and held it in my own. She leaned in towards me and closed the space between us with her lips. Never in my life had I met a girl that was so weird, so daring, and such an outspoken bitch...yep, she was perfect for me.

When the elevator stopped, Matt was waiting outside for us with his car. Raine got into the backseat with me since Julie was sitting in the passenger seat beside Matt. I didn't even realize I was still holding her hand until Matt cleared his throat and pointed to our hands. Raine, of course, scooted away from me the second Matt mentioned it.

"Mels, did you hear that NHN's reporter Kiyomi Takada was chosen as Kira's new spokesperson since Demegawa died?" Matt said lighting a cigarette.

Of course they would pick someone like Takada to take over for Demegawa. I wasn't surprised, but the look on Raine's face after Matt said that showed that she was surprised.

"N-no. No no no. Matt do not go after her! She takes over for Mikami!" Raine's eyes filled with tears again.

Matt parked the car in front of our apartment and turned around in his seat to face Raine and me. "Why shouldn't we go after her if she's taking over for Mikami?"

"Because I don't want to lose my brother and boyfriend!" Raine shouted before bringing her hand to her mouth quickly after she realized what she had said. She turned as red as Matt's car and then ran into the apartment leaving Matt, Julie, and me in the car.

"Boyfriend huh? Did I miss something? What happened with you two at the hospital?" Matt pushed his goggles up onto his forehead and put out his cigarette.

"Chocolate withdrawal; that's what happened." I rolled my eyes and got out of the car.
