Yay! A new chapter! Thanks for the reviews, I got so happy and motivated that I wrote as quickly as I could. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this one. XD

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note.

There were a lot of problems that the blonde was facing. First, there was the fact that Matt's wife was cheating on him. It's not like it was entirely his problem or that it was a problem for him at all, but he felt like it was. Second, he still didn't know how he was going to win the redhead's heart again. Sure, his wife was dying, but Mello was certain that her death wouldn't let him get Matt back immediately. It might even make him put up a wall. However, Mello wanted to stay positive.

Third, the redhead still didn't know that Mello was in the mafia. Which might be a big problem in the near future. The redhead had a son to worry about and dating someone with connections to the mafia is definitely a no-no. Mello had to figure things out before he could accomplish his goal. Keeping it a secret was certainly not an option as he is worried about Roice as well. Quitting however, would be the best thing to do. It was easier said than done though. He was the mafia boss so he couldn't just quit without a proper reason. Well, he would worry about that later on, because as of this moment, a new problem appeared. Out of the other problems he had, the fourth one was the only one that had no connection to Matt whatsoever.

And it goes by the name of Near. Said albino whom he had not spoken to ever since he left Wammy's was on the other of the line. This one certainly shocked Mello.

"It's very fortunate that I can share words with you, Mello." The albino said.

"Fortunate for who?" Mello spat. "What do you want Near? Calling me out of the blue after so many years… I didn't even like you back then. And I still don't. I don't get the purpose of this conversation."

"Ah, but without Mello knowing, I have been watching you for a very long time. And you're very lucky since I haven't told anyone about any of your crimes." Near said monotonously.

"What the fuck? You were stalking me? And I didn't even know?"

"That's how stalking works, Mihael."

"Don't you dare call me that you sick albino." Mello growled. "And if I'm not mistaken, I believe you were threatening me."

"Call it blackmail if you'd like."

Mello's fist curled into a ball. Just how much had Near changed over the years? "Still, I don't get the purpose of this."

"If you want me to freshen up your memory, I shall. This all connects to something that happened many years ago back at Wammy's. I believed I called for you and told you something very important."

Mello thought about it for a moment. Back at Wammy's? What could it be? And then it hit him. No way.

"Don't tell me, you still... Have feelings for me?" Mello asked. He had goosebumps as he stated the question.

"That is correct." Replied the albino.

"Wha- But- What the hell Near? I already rejected you, remember?"

"Yes, I remember it as if it were yesterday. But I would like to remind Mello that I am used to nothing but being first. It so happens to be that I want to be the first in Mello's heart and that is something I have not achieved yet. There's a 35% chance that Mello does not have anyone at the moment, 75% chance that he is under unreciprocated love, and a 15% chance that he is with someone. All according to my intuition. This is why I felt like it was necessary to blackmail Mello in order to get what I want. According to my observation, it has worked several times before."

The blonde was definitely pissed off. The albino freak was clearly insulting him; making all those assumptions as if he knew Mello that much. It was irritating, how close he was. "There are many other guys out there, Near. Leave me alone. My life will go much worse if I got involved with you. Stop calling me and don't show yourself to me." With that, Mello hung up.

He exhaled a sigh of distress, what a roller coaster this was. It took him a few more minutes to make him realize what was really going on. Near mentioned that he have been watching Mello for a long time. And that surely freaks him out, he didn't even knew he was being stalked. God knows if the albino was watching him right now. But what really bugged him was, Near was actually threatening him. Blackmail. He wasn't going to fall for it though. It would be a thousand years before he'll let Near make him admit defeat. Although being constantly chased around by the police would surely be troublesome, but he didn't want to be with Near either.

Ugh. I need a break from all this shit. The blonde thought as he munched on his chocolate. Just then, he heard a knock on his door. "What?" He growled. The door opened, it was Billy. "You again? What is it?" He asked with furrowed brows.

"Umm… There was an intruder earlier. We wanted to know what you'd want us to do with him." The buff guy said.

Mello's eyes widened. Intruder? In their hideout? That was impossible. They were secured with the best technology that no one could ever enter without knowing certain pass codes. Could it be an inside job? "How far did he manage to infiltrate?" He asked.

"It's actually shocking. We were hanging on the couch, watchin' some tv and then someone knocks on the door. When we opened it, we saw him. Said he was lookin' for you."

Oh.

It finally made sense now. There was only one possible person that he could think of. And that would be Matt.

"Where is he now?" The blonde asked again.

"We locked him up in the closet. We didn't know what you would want us to do to him, so we just tied him up and threw him there."

Fucking airhead. "What?" Mello shouted. "You actually threw him there? What the fuck. And what if I knew who he was huh? What would you do? Shit- are you some dumb asshole or something?"

"… So you know who he is?"

Mello threw a phonebook at him and rushed outside. He would punch him, but he was too busy thinking about more important matters. He quickly went to the closet and opened it. He was correct. It was Matt. Wait- It's Matt. Oh no. He's busted. How did he-. Fuck. Matt looked at him as if he was tearing Mello apart in his head. Well, no one would be pleased if they were thrown and locked into a closet. The redhead's hands were bound behind his back, his feet were also tied. A handkerchief was tied around his mouth to keep him from speaking.

After a second of just staring at the redhead before him, Mello untied his friend and rubbed his temples. "Sorry about this. Those guys are fucking idiots. I guess you hate me more than before now."

Matt glared at Mello. "Oh no, I don't hate you. I wouldn't exactly call it hate. I guess, I'm just angry. Okay, first of all, what were you doing at my house? You should know when not to cross the line, Mello. My family lives there. Are you even thinking? God knows what you've been saying to Sakiko. She wouldn't tell me what you two talked about. It's irritating! And second," He paused. "What. The. Fuck! Mello! What the fuck is this? What the fuck are you doing with that mafia? Why did I not know this? Ugh. Words can't even explain how angry I am right now. You're smart, Mello. You're fucking smart. And then you do this? This is so disappointing." His lips almost formed a straight line, and his eyebrows almost connected.

"M-Matt… Calm down will you? I'll explain everything. Just, calm down first." Mello said, stalling. He didn't know how he was going to "explain everything" to the gamer. His problems just keep adding up. He almost can't take it anymore.

Reviews would definitely be appreciated. :)
