The final scene in my Death Note Yaoi.
Like black and white pieces of a puzzle, a perfect fit.
Chapter IV
The Puzzle is Finished
The night nearly over, the dawn just beyond the bend of the sea of river and clouds...Mello was content.
The most beautiful night of his entire life was spent in this bedroom. Mello, half draped in the satin comforter stared up at the ceiling, the dim embers casting a faint orange glow around the room. His eyes wanted to close, but too much was running through his mind now. He thought about the morning and how it began. He then came to the marvelous conclusion. His gaze trailed over to Near who was facing the other way. He smiled slightly, his eyes settling upon that silky white hair, then trailing down to that soft, smooth back. Even further down he found that his smile widened a bit.
The odd, yet terribly beautiful coincidence of it all. Mello inhaled deeply and smiled. It was all perfect. Or at least almost all of it was. He somehow began to doubt his feelings and turning to Near, shook him lightly.
"Near..." He whispered.
"Yes?" The boy turned to face his lover. His white hair, usually combed neatly, rested in a heap upon his head. Every knot and tangle imaginable coexisted within that abundant white forest.
"Why us?" The blond asked, his eyes falling towards the dying embers.
"What do you mean?" The boy sat up slightly to readjust his pillow.
"Why you? Now?"
"My dear Mello, as I explained, we are like puzzles, you and I. Both different, and the same." Near explained. "For instance..."
The boy hoisted himself off the bed and made his way over to The Creation of Adam. He continued to keep the sheet wrapped around him in order to ensure that he had Mello's full attention on his example, instead of his body.
"For instance, Mello. We are like this puzzle. You are over here." He pointed to God and his angels. "You were so far above me, Mello. So intelligent, so clever and so handsome."
"But you were most favored by L." Mello replied, his eyes downcast.
"A trivial matter." Near waved his hand. "As I was saying. You are the God-like figure in this painting, and I...the fragile, lowly Adam here on the left. So plain, without angels..."
"But you are not plain!" Mello joined his lover beside the painting. "You are beautiful. More than I!"
Near placed a finger on Mello's lip. "You talk too much." He smiled.
"I am Adam...and lo, my fingertip is missing. I am unable to make contact with God, unable to return home to my eternal Father..." Near turned to the puzzle piece that rested upon the side table. "But look...here it is." He fit the piece into its rightful place and gazed at the painting.
Mello watched Near admire its beauty.
"You were my missing piece, Mello. Without you, I was lonely...somber...plain." Near looked over at his lover. "But tonight, when you brought me the last piece...you made me whole again...you loved me and made me feel like more than anyone else has ever made me felt. Even more than L...Mello, you completed me."
In the next moment, Near found himself in a warm embrace, one that was tender, and kind, and loving. Mello felt his eyes fill with tears; seconds later they crashed down his cheeks. He stroked Near's beautiful hair as he held him closely. The two of them together remained there for quite some time, frozen as statues wrapped in marble sheets that glowed dimly in the dying firelight.
Watcher, the tale has ended.
The puzzle piece, a portion of the soul seemingly lost forever in the human world had been found and placed into the heart of a boy.
The color black, a symbol of sorrow and death, mingled together with white for the first time, and had his first taste of love.
The color white, a symbol of purity and innoncence, collided with the tempestuous black to experience what love was really like.
The color red, a symbol of the love that was poured into the puzzle piece, that was placed into the boy of White by the boy of Black.
And I, Lust, the Shinigami end my observation of the mortal world.
To corrupt is my purpose, to bring sorrow upon the joyful is my duty, to terrorize the weak is my passion, and to bring death to all is my greatest task.
However, I will leave these two, forever. Never will I intervene with their love, lest I am struck down for my kindness and shrivel into dust.
The End
