Sorry for the long wait. Life is getting uber busy. I still have three version of my art homework, and a friends tattoo left to design. Lucky for you guys I procrastinate/multitask. :L

-Mello-

It was quick. No foreplay of any kind. We didn't have time for that. I had him pressed to the wall, both of us stripped. I could chose, one or the other, no time for both. Making a quick decision, I knelt down taking him into my mouth, loving the soft, surprised moan. I teased him as much as I dared, but we didn't have time to draw this out. I slipped a finger into him, and he finished soon after. I swallowed before humming, continuing to suck coaxing him back hard. The second he was I was pressed to the wall and he was in me. We had to be as silent as possible, but I could still hear the softly growled "mine" in my ear at each thrust. I could tell he wanted to draw it out, I did too, but we had six minutes and twenty four seconds to be done and in the car. He began stroking me quickly, kissing my nape, marking me in one of the few places he could, my hair long enough to hide the mark. He sped up, desperate to make me finish, to claim me back before our four minutes and forty-one seconds was up. A soft gasp of his name and I was done, he wasn't far after. We quickly dressed and were in the car with ten seconds to spare. The lights flicked on with an electric hum, as we pulled out into the street.

It was the first time we had, had sex in months but I could tell he felt the same I did. Unsatisfied.

I wanted to sleep in the same bed, to have a chance to cuddle when we had sex, to hold his hand when we walked to the store, to kiss him for no reason other than I wanted to. Those, however, were luxuries we weren't afforded, so we made do with stolen moments and fleeting touches, hoping our secret wouldn't kill us.

At first I thought he was avoiding me, trying to keep our secret safe. Days passed and I realized he was writing in a notebook, script hidden from the camera. He was planning, but just what I didn't know.

It took three weeks for him to approach me. It took that long for L to become complacent enough not to question the downed electricity, even only for a minute or two. I saw Matt hit enter and the lights failed. He immediately was at my side.

"We have three minutes Mello, so just listen. I've been making a plan. If we buy our time I think it will work, but we have to get on L's good side, see the parts of the operation he hasn't shown us yet. I need to know if he has a way to track us. I know the six through twenty's are but don't know if he got us without us knowing. This is a long term plan Mells. My guess is six months, I'll probably need that long to make it fool proof. Six months Mells, six months and we're going to run." He gave a smirk, "and then I can kiss you whenever I want, but the first think I think I'll do is chain you to the bed and take my time having my way with you." I shivered as he kissed me briefly, pulling back as the lights turned on with a pop.

Six months left in hell. Six months and counting.

I had to do my part to help, but I was hesitant. This part would either make or break us. He could either be our salvation or our downfall. He knew everything, more than L wanted him to, he was too dangerous to keep alive, but too valuable to kill, so he was locked away and the only people who had the key were myself and L. It was also the only place without cameras, he was there to be forgotten; our very own oubliette.

Under the guise of bringing his daily meal I walked down the stairs, going through all the security measures. Opening the final door I saw him. Our past number five, a one time friend, and L's twin; Beyond Birthday.

"Ah, Mello. What do we have today?" His eyes were on the tray I held.

"Stew, bread, water. However, if you can give me some information I have…." I pulled a jar of raspberry jam out of a bag.

"Does brother dearest know you're dealing with criminals?"

Tossing him the jar I sprawled out in his desk chair. "L can go to hell and take the damn sheep with him. I need information, and I know you'll know. Come on B. We were friends once."

He let out an insane laugh that still gave me shivers. "Tell me why first."

I shifted. "Matt and I….We're going to run. We need to know if the top five are chipped."

Again the creepy laughter. "Oh? That's all? No coup no mutiny?"

"We just want to live our lives."

"Oh yes, can't have my dear sweet twin find out of your little love interest can we?"

"B, please, I'm begging."

"Fine. But jam isn't enough. I want in. When you run I come to or no dice. Don't worry, I won't tell L….or will I?"

Worry coiled in my gut. Our plan counted on him. I only had one option.

"Fine. You're in."
