Over the past two days that had gone by it felt like everything was in slow motion. Down to the time it took for Mello to heal properly.
Matt and I had been taking turns, on and off for checking Mello's condition and occasionally changing his bandages. And through the entire time Mello never got a good look at just what the fire had done to him. But I knew we couldn't just delay it any longer.
I was just terrified of being the one to show him.
But sadly it was never my choice. Matt and I had played the crap out of his gaming system and he even let me use it while he said he was gonna catch some shut-eye. Sadly, I didn't keep track of the time and stayed up till 4am with the 3DS. Needless to say I woke up rather late.
However, the moment I opened my eyes I wanted to shut them for good.
Because I woke up to find the spot on the couch that mello had occupied, was now empty. I spun around the room and looked for any sign of the injured blonde, and found a clue right away. The bathroom door was open.
So now I rubbed the remaining sleep out of my eyes and sat up as fast as I could. The unheated room left my feet cold as I stepped on the flooring, making my way to the open doorway.
"Mello?" I called softly.
I gripped the door with my hand as I looked inside the small, uncleaned bathroom area. And low and behold, there was Mello.
And seeing him broke my heart.
His eyes were hardened into that normal state of himself but I could see disbelief and shock rippiling through his gorgeous teal blue eyes as he lift his hand up the gently touch his scarred face.
"I-I'm so sorry Mello... I should have just been quicker... Maybe.. Maybe I could of-" Mello silenced me with his free hand.
"Don't you dare go blaming yourself for this. It was my choice. I was the one who brought out the controller..." This time I interrupted Mello.
"Mells, remember. We both pulled the trigger. I could have stopped you if I didn't want to get out of there... We both chose this. We both have to pay for it..." I muttered the last bit, hoping Mello didn't hear me, but sadly he did.
He turned his half scarred face to mine in confusion and suspicion. "Exscuse me... 'We'?"
Realizing my slip up, I sighed and lift the sleeve of the brown hoodie Matt got for me, revealing the burn that cascaded up to my shoulder. Mello's eyes widened the more he followed up the scar, making me gain a worry deep within a pit of my stomach.
"I-I... Oh fuck..." Mello muttered as he shook his head lightly.
"Mello. It's ok. Really I'm-" I was cut off by Mello angrily curling his hand up into a fist and slamming it on the wall beside him.
"FUCK!" He cursed. I put my hand on his arm in an attempt to calm him down.
"It's ok! Damn... Don't start blaming yourself or so help me the Caramilks get it!" I threatened, bringing up the mention of some chocolate Matt bought him before finding us in the broken building.
The ex-mafia leader looked at me, surprised at the childish threat in a moment like this.
"I just... I screwed up and now you had to pay for it! I should never have brought you into this dammit! And all because of this you're gonna just..." He trailed off, cutting himself off without the need of any more back and forth interruptions.
"I'm going to what? What do you think I'm gonna do Mello!?" I called angrily, getting pissed at how Mello was beginning to assume things.
"YOU'RE GONNA LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK!" He finished loudly, leaving me in silence.
But only a few moments later I sighed and pulled back my middle finger and thumb into my hand before flicking Mello's nose unexpectedly.
"What the hell was th-" To end the game of interruptions, I just shushed him, putting my index finger in the center of his lips.
I kept this up in quiet before Mello tried to break the peace. "T-Tekina?"
I pulled away my hand, looking into Mello's eyes. "You really are a moron aren't you..."
"Excuse me?" He asked, deadpanned at my words.
"You think getting a little bit burned and scarred is going to make me walk out on you? Come on, I thought you knew me better then that..." Mello stood there, shocked, for a moment before letting out one of his small, rare chuckles and pulling me into an embrace.
"How the hell did I fall for you..." He muttered, just loud enough for me to hear. But just hearing it sent a giant wave of shock through my system. No way. I must still have some of that smoke from Matt's cigarette messing up my hearing.
"W-What?" I stuttered, pulling away from the hug.
Mello looked completely unfazed by his words as he repeated what I thought I heard. "I said that I fell for you. I was planning on telling you... But then the task force got there and... Look I'm sorry, I know you don't li-" For the final time, I interrupted Mello. But this time the way I interrupted him was by silencing him by pushing my lips onto his.
In immediate shock at my reaction to his confession, he stood there still. But once he knew what I was doing he began moving his lips against mine in perfect sync. The feeling was the best thing I had ever experienced. They say that the feeling leave butterflies in your stomach but it wasn't that at all. It was more like fireworks were exploding in my system. It's not really a feeling I could ever describe perfectly to someone. I just left me wanting more.
It seemed someone else wanted to play the interruption game because at the time someone had just started clapping and whistling in approval.
We broke our lock to look at the doorway where Matt stood, grinning playfully.
"Five years Mells! It took you five years to confess!" At this Mello gained a look of pure annoyance in his eyes as he bolted after the gamer, running into the room as he proceeded to beat him with a pillow he pulled off the bed.
"H-Hey! Just remember! I get to be the best man!" Matt joked while he was murderously being beaten to death with the pillow.
I joined in the fun and ripped one of the other throw pillows off of Mello's couch and started whacking it both at Matt and Mello.
"Why are you hitting me!?" Mello called as I hit him upside the head with the pillow.
"Because it's fun!" I cheered as Mello conceded and grabbed the other pillow off the bed as Matt did the same.
And just like that it all turned into a giant pillow fight. At one point I think we broke something but by the time we were done we were all laughing in happiness and relief.
Just as I thought the day couldn't get any better, Matt suddenly sat up from his spot of the floor. "Oh shit! Guys I'll be right back!" He called as he sprinted out the door, leaving Mello and I alone.
I turned to him just as one certain thought rose to my mind. "You know... You stole my first kiss right?"
"What? You mean you've never kissed anyone before?" He asked in surprise.
I shook my head. "No. I mean a long time ago. Remember that time when we snuck out, and that dude tried to molest me, then you kicked the shit out of him?" He smirked at the memory. "Yeah?"
"Well when we played the pocky game together, that was my first kiss..." I admitted, breaking the deal I made with myself about never telling him.
He put on a small smile. "Oh course I remember that... That was the day I fell for you..."
I looked into his eyes. Light blue locking with a dark cobalt. "Well thank the heavens for pocky right?"
Just at that moment we heard a noise from the doorway. "I couldn't agree more Tekina!"
As I looked up I saw Matt standing there with the little gift I asked him to buy right before the raid happened.
A box of chocolate pocky.
Mello and I sat up, smiling like idiots as Matt opened the closed container of Japanese candy.
Instantly, I reached for a stick. Unsheathing it from the line of others as I held it between my teeth. I saw Mello smirk in a sexy way before taking the end in his mouth. As we munched up the delicious chocolate stick together I felt our lips connect. And just like that, I could imagine I was back at Wammys. Playing video games and occasionally practicing with Mello in the gym room. These were some of the best moments of my life.
But as I felt my lungs burning with lack of oxygen I had to pull away, leaving Mello to grin in victory.
And just as this moment passed I felt the need to say one more thing.
"Amaya" I stated for all to hear.
This was met with silence until Matt interrupted the stillness. "What?"
"Amaya Tukiko. That's my real name..." Not two seconds after I said this I could hear Mello mutter the words "Night Rain"
Matt grinned at my confession. "Well I think it's fair that because you said your we can say ours. My name is-" I cut him off.
"Mail Jeevas and Mihael Keehl. I-I know your names..." I left the two boys with faces of confusion.
"How do you know that...?" Matt asked quietly but I could tell he just hiding his anger and shock.
I sighed and scratched the back of my head. "It's a long story..."
"We got plenty of fucking time..." Mello growled.
Rubbing my temples I pulled out my phone. As I quickly unlocked the code I went to the gallery app and pulled out a file I had saved with hundreds and hundreds of ordered pictures. Most were black and white... But the very first one was color, with a certain scythe-wielding teen on the front page. Mello took it from my hands quickly and he and Matt began looking through the pages with wide eyes. Especially as he scrolled down and saw a detailed picture of him with his scar on one of the colored pages.
"This is a manga called death note... And I'm gonna have to really trust you guys on this..."
