Chapter 3: 'It would be complicated'

"He belongs to Sebastian. It's up to him how he treats the boy."

Lucian stood in front of Mello; his long black hair dangling over his shoulders and his flawless face was serious for once.

"What is it you want, Lucian?" Mello asked, his eyes flashing towards Matt and Sebastian, who were walking into one of the castle entrances. He saw Sebastian place his hand on the bottom of Matt's back. Mello glared at Lucian. "Well, spit it out! I don't have time for this!"

"I told you the boy belongs to Sebastian. It's up to him how he treats the human." Lucian told him, his face still serious. "And you know you're not allowed to talk to the human..."

"He's not the human! His name is Matt!" Mello yelled; still glaring.

Lucian's lips turned up at the corners, into an evil-looking-smirk. All of a sudden Mello was pinned against the wall, with Lucian pressed against him. He moved his face closer to the blonds. "How many times do you need to be told!? That boy is nothing more than a mere human. He's your food not your partner! So why don't you stop chasing after him!" Lucian grabbed hold of Mello's throat; gripping at it tightly. He tilted his hand so it was forcing Mello's head to look up.

"What...is it...you want?" Mello gasped as Lucian's hand tightened around his throat. If Mello had been a human he would have been dead by now but because he was a Vampire he could stand ten times this amount of pain.

Lucian just smirked again. "Do you remember when you first came here? You were such a cute kid, still a little brat who doesn't follow the rules unless your Lord told you directly."

"What are you...getting at?"

"Oh nothing but do you remember..." Lucian moved his free hand to Mello's crotch, cupping it in his hand. "How I made you feel?" Lucian asked as he started to rub Mello's crotch.

"Yeah I remember!" Mello glared at Lucian even harder and gritted his teeth. Mello clenched his fist and hit Lucian in the stomach; hard enough to send Lucian flying into the opposite wall. Mello moved so quickly Lucian didn't see him coming. Mello kicked Lucian in the face and stomped his foot onto his throat keeping it there. "I remember everything you did to me!"

"Mello." A quiet voice said; it was barley a whisper but it carried through the hall as though the voice was shouting. "Please let Lucian up..."

Mello knew exactly who the voice belonged to; it was his Lord. Mello removed his foot from Lucian's throat and stepped back. Lucian stood up, blood dripping from his nose and holding his throat. "Little bastard!" He growled.

Mello growled back at him but before he could say anything, someone appeared in between them. "Why are you two fighting again?" He asked looking from Lucian to Mello.

"That shithead tried to...he was touching me again!" Mello told the tall black-haired man that stood in between them.

Their Lord's head spun round to face Lucian. He was furious. He grabbed Lucian by the throat and slammed him against the window; cracking the glass. "Do you not remember what I told you!?" He pulled Lucian away from the window before slamming him back against it.

"He...was talking to...the human!" Lucian gasped.

The dark haired Lord turned his head slightly, looking down to the floor and still holding Lucian. "Is this true?" He asked quietly, his voice had a hint of sadness in it.

Mello stayed silent for a minute, he looked to the floor. He didn't know what to say, his Lord had told him to stay away from Matt but he had talked to him. He had betrayed him.

"Answer me!" His voice still just a whisper but threatening.

Mello kept his head down while he answered. "Yes."

Mello heard his Lord grit his teeth. "Mello!" He yelled. His voice was so loud and ruff. He threw Lucian towards the end of the hall; he whacked his head on the wall –breaking the wall- and knocking him unconscious. The Lord moved quickly to stand in front of Mello; less than an inch away from him. "Did I not tell you to stay away from him!" He yelled again.

"I-I k-know, my Lord, b-b-but-!" Mello stuttered and tried to avoid his Lord's gaze.

The dark haired man grabbed Mello's face and lifted it up so he was looking at his Lord. He pushed Mello against the wall, still holding his face. "I told you to stay away from the boy!" The Lord moved his face close to Mello's, a sad look on the face that was usually unreadable. "You promised me you'd stay away." He said softly.

"I-I know my Lord, but we were just talking, I didn't say I wanted him or anything, I swear!"

"But..." The Lord started but stopped. He placed his forehead against Mello's and let go of his throat. "You need to stay away from him. If you so much as talk to him, I'll have to lock you in the dungeon for disobeying me. Really you should be locked up now but..."

"My Lord, you know how much I am thankful to you for you have done for me and how much I respect you but...I don't know how...long...I can stay away from him." Mello said honestly, even though he thought his Lord would be mad.

He sighed. "I thought you might say that." He lifted his head off Mello's and turned away. "But Mello, please stay away as long as you can, for your own sake."

Mello didn't understand the last part but the last thing he wanted to do right now was question his Lord."I'll do my best."

His Lord turned to smile at Mello. "You may go now." Mello left the hallway. His Lord's smile faded away and changed into a sad expression.

As soon as Mello had left, someone appeared. "Master Lawliet, I don't understand. Why is it so bad that he talks to the boy?" Asked a short black-haired boy stood in front of the Lord.

"I have told you before. What he feels for the boy is the same as what I feel for you. But that boy is no ordinary human."

"But Master, I thought you trusted Mello. You know he would look after the boy better than Sebastian." The boy said, pulling a face at Sebastian's name.

Lawliet smiled at the young boy who looked almost identical to his Master. "I do. But Mello blames himself for bringing the boy here and knows exactly how he feels for the boy but if the boy feels the same way... it would be complicated. Especially seen as how the boy is a..." He said trailing off.

"Master?" The boy asked, looking up at the taller man with a worried look on his face.

"Master Sebastian, I'm really sorry about earlier." Matt said, whispering.

Sebastian didn't say anything.

"Master?" Matt asked again. Sebastian turned to face Matt. "Did you talk to anyone?"

'If he knows I talked to the blond Vampire, he'll be really mad!' Matt thought and he was right, Sebastian would be furious. So he lied. "No, I just...went for a walk."

"But you still disobeyed me, didn't you?"

Matt looked down to the chains around his wrists –that were attached to the floor- He looked back up to his Master. "Yes."

Sebastian knelt down on the floor, next to Matt. Sebastian ran his hand up the chain, to Matt's arm and then to his neck. He grabbed hold of Matt's chin; holding it tightly. He forced Matt backwards; he was now laid on his back with his Master sat on top of him. "Yes, what?"

"Yes, M-Master."

"Good boy." Sebastian leant forward, quickly stabbing his teeth into Matt's neck. Matt moaned as he felt the teeth sink into his neck deeper and deeper. He could also feel Sebastian's hand on the back of his head as the other started to roam around Matt's body.

End of chapter 3!

Okay, so did anyone think L was Mello's Lord? and who do you think it is that was calling L, Master?

I know this chapter isn't as long as the second chapter but the next one will be longer and more intersting! (I hope, lol)

Anyway, thanx for reviewing, faving and alerting! :D (Please continue)
