A/N: I don't really like the majority of this chapter, but it's a plot point so it needed to happen, but the ending turned out right and May's IQ is shown again. Thanks to anyone reading this, I love reviews so they're always welcome!

The first thing I saw was May. For some reason she just get under my skin, in a good way though.. I guess. Like, she didn't irritate me but I swear she could make me do anything she wanted, being telling her what was wrong most if the time, anytime she wanted.

"Hi Mello, what's wrong?" She had honest concern all over her face.

"Hello May, nothings wrong, don't worry." I sighed.

"Don't lie to me Mello, I don't like liars." She frowned and I couldn't help but let a mall smile come to my lip.

"It's nothing you need to worry about, now you better go before you let your mom catch you with me again." She shook her head.

"My mom went to the store down the street and told me to stay with my brother, but he fell asleep so I went wandering, she's not gonna catch me if I don't get hurt, and you wouldn't hurt me, would you Mello?"

"No, I won't hurt you May."

"Good! Now tell me what's wrong Mello, Please?"

"Alright, I'll tell you what's wrong as long as you don't tell anybody alright?"

"I promise I won't tell anybody!" Her excitement was amusing and brought another smile to my face, what could be the harm in telling her?

"So my friend is in here." I pointed backwards to the door. "He's really sick, we don't know if he's gonna make it or not. But the thing is, I really like him. I'm kinda in love with him, and he doesn't know it." I shrugged looking down at her.

"So why don't you tell him?"

"Because he'd hate me."

"And how do you know that?" She was impressing me for someone her age.

"Because he probably likes girls, not guys, and even if he did he wouldn't like me." We never had a conversation about sexuality that I can remember, but I remember him having a few girlfriends while I was with him at Whammy's, probably had a few more after I left.

"Maybe he likes both boys and girls." She shrugged looking me dead in the eyes. How did she know so much about this kind of thing, although she was probably just being naive with her thoughts.

"Well maybe May, but I'll talk to you later, I left on a bad note last time and I think I'm going to go check on him now. Thanks for trying to help though." I gave her a smile and before I knew it I had an arms full of her. I slowly wrapped my arms around her back, returning the hug. She pulled away and kissed my cheek before skipping away towards what I presumed to be her brother's room. I sat there for a few minutes thinking over what I was going to say to Matt when I got back into the room.

I wish the dream could have been a vision and walk I went back into the room I could do exactly what I had in the dream and have the same outcome, well at least without the waking up in the end.

I pulled myself out of my chair before slowly turning and resting my hand on the door handle. I didn't want to go deal with this, but i knew I had to sometime or later. I pushed the handle down and pushed on the door forward. Matt was sitting up in the plain white bed picking his nails, probably dying for a cigarette right about now. He looked up when I steeped in, gently closing the door behind me.

"Hey Matty."

"Hi Mels."

"So.. "

"So.. "

"How are you feeling? You know, about this whole thing?" I chickened out I know, but I just couldn't. Not yet at least.

"I'm scared Mello, I'm really, really scared.. " he looked terrified, completely mortified. I walked over and sat down next to him, making him scoot over on the bed a little. I wrapped my arm around him shoulders, I know not really a friend gesture, and pulled him towards me, his head resting on my shoulder.

"You'll be okay, I promise you. Everything will be alright, I'll get you the best of the best. You will be okay." I couldn't tell if I was reassuring him or myself. I rested my head on top of his turning it slightly, and placing my lips to the top of his head, shattering the lines of friendship. I squeezed my eyes shut not pulling away for a couple seconds, and then nestling my face in his hair, hiding from reality of what was to come.

"But what if I'm not, what if something goes wrong in tomorrow's operation, or it becomes incurable." His voice got higher as he talked.

"Matt don't talk like that! I told you, you're going to be fine! You're going to be more than fine!" The tears were overflowing now, and I'm sure he could feel them on his scalp. His head tilted up and he looked me in the eyes. His green one's finally not covered by those damned goggles he always wore. I saw a mixture of emotions flash through them, but I could see the fear most. I wanted to take that fear away, convince him that he would be alright. I did the only thing I could thing of, I showed him that he wasn't alone in this, that he was loved.

I leaned down, meeting his lips with my own, trying to let all my emotions show through such a simple yet meaningful action. He returned the kiss, bring his hand to the thread through my hair. We pulled away, our lungs requiring needed oxygen, just taking the time to look each other in the eyes. I rested my forehead against his giving him a small peck again before closing my eyes.

"Mail Jeevas, I love you with all my heart, and I will not let you die."

"I love you too Mihael. I hope you're right, I don't want to live without you."

A/N: I know I changed how I spelled Mels in this chapter, but I just like it better this way..
