His eyes flew wide open as he scanned the room around him, "It wasn't a dream?" Near whispered to himself, thinking over what could have possibly happened just a few hours ago.
He heard footsteps echoing up the stairs, coming to his room, quickly, he tried to stand, but a pain shot through his back, leaving him stranded on the ground.
The door opened and an unfamiliar face entered, "How much, Nia?" Near nearly froze, the only reason someone would pronounce his name like that is because they were a customer.
'How much? I don't! I don't fucking do this'! Near thought, shuffling back from the man and shaking his head, hoping that he'd pick up some sort of distress signal.
"Eh~? Playing hard to get, are we starting already?" The man grinned evilly.
Near cursed under his breath, everyone was like this, so ignorant, so disgusting, "I'm not playing hard to get! I'm only fifteen!" Near shouted at him from the ground.
"You're hurt aren't you?" The man said, completely ignoring Nears statement.
"I said, get away from me!" Near didn't need this now, he needed to get to Mello and Matt pronto.
The man walked up to Near and lifted him by the collar of his shirt, before throwing him onto the bed in the room, "Ouch!" Near grunted out of instinct to the pain that shot through him again.
"This'll be easy then." The man chuckled before Near heard the faint sound of his pants being unzipped.
Mello woke up to the sound of loud screams bouncing down the walls of the stair way down to the cellar, "Near…" He whispered.
Another voice seemed to be muddled in with Nears shouts and it confused Mello, what the hell were they doing to him?
"It's a customer." He heard Matts voice behind him.
"What?" Mello hissed, turning to the red head.
"Can't you hear it? Near is so obviously shouting 'stop' and the man is so obviously not trying to hide his moaning." Matt replied, his voice a tad on the angry side.
Mello nearly died of shock from those words, because he knew perfectly what they meant, "Oh god I'm such a failure…" He muttered to himself, hitting his head against the wall.
"It's not your fault." Matt said, still not able to make the anger disappear from his voice.
The blonde took no notice and snapped, "It is! I'm locked down here while Nears up there getting fucked! That's not how the plan was supposed to go!" He said, his words only meant to hurt him and not Matt.
"You're not the only one locked up!" Matt retorted, his eyes harsh and cold.
Mello shrunk a little, up until now he had only thought of Near and himself, never Matt, he felt ashamed, "Matt…"
"In fact, had we just told Roger, Watari, the police, ANYONE!" Matt emphasized, not caring about the fact that Mello was blatantly letting tears escape him in front of his face, "Me, you AND Near, wouldn't be in this mess!" Matt finished, feeling annoyed with himself, that wasn't the real reason he was angry and he had no right to take it out on Mello.
"I'm so sorry Matt…" Mello whispered, slumping back against the wall.
"I'm sorry for shouting," Matt admitted, "But at least we're not gagged anymore."
Mello smiled, "Yeah that's true."
"But, I do have to wonder, why would a brothel have guns and all that kinda crap here?" Matt asked, a quizzical look on his face.
"Surely you've figured it out by now Matt…" Mello said, his pride hurt, "…It's The Mafia."
Matt's eyes widened in shock, the only place Mello ever dreamed about joining to get away from Wammys and to defeat Kira was The Mafia, he almost left when he was fourteen, but stayed instead because he felt guilty about leaving Matt…well that's the reason Matt figured his lame excuse back then had meant. And now age seventeen, Mello still had dreams about joining, "Mells, I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Mello said, turning his head to Matt, "I'm glad I didn't join, I don't want to be part of a gang that has a history of hurting Near, not to mention other people in that way."
Matt sighed inwardly, surely Mello had figured out his true loyalty by now, but he wasn't going to wait for it if it hadn't, he needed to end it here, why? Because he had all the proof that Mello loved Near and it was pointless for him to let Mello and himself stay together like this, "Mello…" He started.
"Yeah Matt?" The blond replied, flipping his shoulder length, messy hair behind his ear so he could see Matt.
"Um…" Matt gulped, he really didn't want to do this, but if he was going to do it, it was now, "I think, we need to…break up."
Mello bit his lip, he knew this was coming, "I thought you'd say that and I'm sorry for doing this to you." Mello replied softly, suppressing this choke that formed in his throat.
Matt was absolutely astonished at Mellos reaction, "Have you figured out my reason?" He asked.
"Yeah…well, if me being ass towards you wasn't enough, that reason also probably tipped you off…since the start." Mello answered Matts questions in just that one sentence.
Free of lies, hurt and betrayal.
The both of them were set free from a dying cause.
"But I'm always gonna be your friend Matt, that is absolute." Mello said.
"Who said anything about not staying friends?" Matt replied with a chuckle.
Another loud scream from Near interrupted the twos moment, Mello tried to jump up, but failed because he was still tied at the feet and hands.
Then Dominic's face showed up as he carried -more like dragged- a struggling, but tired Near down with him to where the Matt and Mello were being held.
"Hello boys." He said, a mad mans grin spreading over his face, as he dumped Near onto the ground.
"Don't treat him like that!" Matt shouted at him, taking Mello by surprise.
Dominic pulled out his gun and shot at the wall just beside Matts head, the bullet ran close enough to Matt that he felt it whooshing past him, "I'll treat the little brat however I want to." Dominic said.
Matt, Mello and Near, sat there shocked and paralysed with fear, it was very obvious as to who had the most power in this situation and Dominic wasn't afraid to flaunt it.
"Now, I believe I haven't introduced myself, I am Dominic River, head of the Mafia, at your service," He said, a smirk pulling at his lips, he turned to Matt, "And you are?"
"Matt." He answered, glad that he didn't have to think of an alias seeing as that was an alias.
"Good and you're Mello. I already know that from meeting you at that idiot Rogers office." Dominic finished.
"Now, I've decided to play a little game with you three," Dominic began, pointing to all three boys, "Recently I discovered a little secret of Nears and it fits in quite well with what I needed to do, so here's the game…"
"…I get to torture Matt and Mello, until Near spits out his secret but it doesn't stop there no…"
Near couldn't breathe, surely this wasn't happening…
"…No once that's been settled I get to torture Near in front of you two as an extra punishment for meddling with The Mafia."
…But because it was, Near didn't fail to spit his secret out early, even before the torture had begun, "I love you, Mello! So don't torture them, PLEASE!" He pleaded at his Fathers feet, crying.
Thanks for reading!
Matt: I'm still in denial.
Why can't you accept that I won?
Matt: Because I've never lost before!
Then it's a good thing!
Matt: How can losing POSSIBLY BE A GOOD THING?
Honestly, I feel like I'm talking to Mello...
Mello: What did you say about me?
