BB's Interlude.

Part A.

It doesn't take long for the other nurses to come and see the Daft one. She's on the floor, her wrist broken and sobbing like a baby. I'm still a little unstable, but I refuse to stay in the hospital any longer than I could, and I've been wasting my time sleeping for far too long. No, I have to reach A. There's a bag in the janitor's closet, the second one on the right. In it, there are car keys and some clothes, along with a note, just as planned.

Hope you like.

Drive safe and don't crash it.

Leave it in the enclosed address when you're done.

Skyar.

I change into the clothes and stuff the stupid gown elsewhere, hoisting the bag of many items over my shoulder and jingling the keys.

I find the car easily, and yes, I do like it. It's black, and sleek. Very much me. If I could ever afford something as beautiful as this then yes, maybe I would own one, however I am not a sub-partner in a fucking Mafia Organisation like Mello or Skyar or Rod, therefore I make do with my little run around. But this, this would be like driving an angel. Riding an angel – No, can't say that. That would be A. My fucking fuck-angel... thinking of A, time to go! I need to think of him before I start thinking of other things and thinking too much. That hurts my head. Hm, keys – in. Engine – on – oh that is nice. I'm assuming that A will not be staying at Our place on his own, so he'll be with Mello. So that's where I'm heading. If I'm correct (I check the clock, it's twenty past six), I should be there for twenty to seven.

Annoyingly for Mello, I know where all his security cameras are and evading them isn't an issue. I reach the outside of his window with caution, knowing that this is the one spot I can't go unnoticed in. Rod has a camera semi-on Mels window, so he knows when the rebel sneaks out. The closer I get to the window, the closer I get to the camera. I take the camera head quickly and divert it, slinking int place just below it and to the right of Mello's window. I'm glad his room is at the back of the house and not the front. I check my watch and its twenty five to seven; the phone should ring. Ah.

"Hello?...oh, yeah. Hi...a favour-favour or a Family favvvooour? Yeah...but it can wait" I listen as he pauses for a bit. "I think...Sure, one sec" His voice lowers as he moves across the floor. "A, we can't go right now. I need to do this" Poor A, please don't be sad. "I'll make it up to you, I swear. Give me an hour and we can go. Feel free to use anything in here – or the house, I'll be downstairs, ok?" A responds quietly, trying to hold his head up despite his sinking heart.

"Sure Melly, it's ok" I hear Mello's footsteps die away, the door open and then altogether fade with his leaving words;

"OK Skyar, talk me through this"

I take that as my signal and turn to the window, tapping it lightly, breathing on it, and drawing a heart. After no response, I tap it again, until a pale shaky hand reaches for the net curtain, drawing it back. I wait for A to get over his shock; it's terrifying for anyone to see someone like me grinning like a mad man outside their window. A jumps back hesitantly, then realises and begins apologising for his stupidity profusely. He opens the window and I silence him with a quick kiss and a smile.

"You're ok" He breathes. I nod and put a finger to my lips, taking his wrist in my hand lightly. "I love you" He pecks my cheek nervously before touching the other side lightly and making me face him. "I was so scared when you weren't with Melly. He came to see me and we didn't know where you were" I kiss his head, but his voice turns hysterical. "B this isn't funny, you worried me! You know what happens when I worry-" I silence him with my finger and he frowns stubbornly.

"They can't know I'm here" I whisper and he pipes down, blushing and beginning to apologise once more. "Stop it, A, come on. I wouldn't leave you, you know that" He smiles and nods, hugging me closer.

"BB...are we being selfish, doing this?"

"Yes" I hold his small frame closer to mine and smile. "Yes we are"

"Melly will be all alone" A shuffles a little and puts both his hands in mine. "Who will he have, B? When we're gone?"

"Mello is a socialite" I shrug.

"You say that like he won't care. Like he won't miss us" A whispers. I frown.

"You're doubting this, aren't you A"

"No!" He squeaks. "Not doubting anything, B" He shakes his head and pulls me closer to him. "I just don't want Melly to be miserable... he deserves to be happy, and he's happy with us. If he misses us, he'll be miserable B. I don't want to leave Melly all miserable"

"We won't; you wrote the letter, right?" A nods with a small sigh. "And there's the video" He nods again, smiling more.

"You're right, he'll be fine, won't he? He has many people to look out for him; he may even move to LA with Rod – I think he'll like that eventually" I nod and hold him closer as he looks around Mello's room. "I feel like we're abandoning him B. Like he's not worth us holding onto life for; I hope he understands; I really do" I check my watch again, and it's almost seven o'clock. Have I really been here that long?

"A, I need to leave"

"Sure B, right behind you-"

"No...A, you stay here"

"But the plan..." He catches my hand and I grab him, pulling him closer and pushing him into the wall. He panics for a moment, but then relaxes as I kiss his neck. "BB...you make my heart flutter so badly sometimes ..."

"You need to keep Mello happy, A. Do it for both of us. OK? Take him to the hospital, make him see I'm not there. I'll come back here for you later, when you're asleep"

"Then I won't-"

"When you're asleep A...if you're not asleep then I won't come for you"

"I'll be sleeping, BB" I smile and kiss him again. "I'll be waiting"

"Have fun with Mello...do fun things with him. But...don't lie...I don't think he'd like that"

"I know, Love. Avoid the truth but don't lie. Got it"

"You're a very good liar A"

"I wasn't lying-"

"I know, I know. I was just announcing my confidence in your abilities" I enjoy the moment as he blushes and wriggles uncomfortably, again, apologising and trying to convince me that he'd never lied to me. I kiss him once more before I hear Mello's footsteps rushing up the stairs. "Later, m'love" I leave out of the window quickly and hold on, waiting to see the beginning of A's performance. Or at least, hear it.

"Come on, we can go now" Mello says, moving across the room. A doesn't say anything and I briefly wonder if I've stunned him. "A, we can go and see BB, you still want to, right?" I don't hear A speak, but the door shuts and the light is switched off. They've gone to the garage. I hope A brushes up his act a little better than silence. A few minutes later, the garage doors open and the bike rolls out of the garage. I notice A on the back, his arms tightly wrapped around Mello. Ha! Poor lamb.

I get what I need and set up the bedroom, it reaching quarter to three in the morning and I run to get A from Mello's. I'm almost late, but when I get there – avoiding all the camera's – A's stirring in his sleep. I sneak in through the window and lace my hand in his and kiss him to silence. His eyes open as he kisses back softly; I pull him up.

"I had too much sugar BB...I don't feel well" He rubs his eyes cutely and I begin packing his things in silence. He shuffles out of bed perfectly and startles me as he starts to make it.

"A, what are you doing?" I hiss. "Leave it"

"No, Melly will get mad"

"A-"

"I don't want him mad at me, BB. There" He pats it down and turns to face me, cupping my chin and kissing me like an angel. "Done."

We leave and head back to the flat. A lays down on the ready-made bed, looking cosy and angelic.

"Don't tempt me like that A" He smiles softly and sighs, staring straight at my eyes.

"You have beautiful eyes ... Beyond..." I grin and close my lids; he huffs in disappointment.

"Don't tease me BB, you know I don't find it at all that funny" I open my eyes and he's stopped gazing; I smile fondly, careful not to grin as he suggestively rolls onto his stomach and pulls out his phone.

"The video and letter are in the post... I'm going to text him" He announces.

"A...what if he wakes up?" I question.

"I hid his phone in the drawer BB, he won't find it unless he's looking. It's on silent anyway" I look at him cautiously. "C'mere" He takes my hand and I grab it, reaching for the drawer with Them in it with the other. "BB, will you text Melly too?" I take them out of the drawer and place them on the pillow. I pull A up from his lying position and pull him cross legged into my lap. "Sure A, look, I am too" I pull out my phone and send Mel a quick message; suddenly it all feels quite final.

"Good" He tosses his phone across the room once he's finished, not as an act of violence but more finality. This was it. I do the same; he kisses me lightly, then winds his spidery fingers in my messy hair, tugging it slightly. "Iloveyou" He breathes, pulling his arms back and holding them, wrists up, at my mercy. I split the eight injections into two piles of four, one on my right side and one on his right. I take the pen from my pocket and dot where A should put them in – because he doesn't know for sure. I hold one of mine and he holds one of his. "We'll do it at the same time, yeah, BB?" I nod.

"On three" He hovers it over my arm where the black dot it, and I do the same. "One..." He looks at me and smiles; I find his eyes, like stars. "Two" I breathe, moving my face close to his, keeping his eyes on mine so he can't hesitate. "Three" I feel him nip my arm, then the liquid as it pulses through my veins.

"Did I do it?" He asks, kissing my nose. "Did it hurt?"

"You did fine, A" He gives me a confident smile and shuffles closer, brushing his fingers over the others quite fondly. He looks at me with a little smile.

"Now the other three"
