Chapter seven:

Nate nods. "Sure." He agrees.

Mello smiles and takes Nate's hand only to lead him into the forest.

Nate follows Mello.

The two walk along through the forest until they reach a beautiful clearing.

Nate blinks as he glances around.

It's really beautiful almost like in a movie.

Mello grins seeing Nate amazed at it. "Isn't it wonderful?" He questions.

Nate turns to him and nods. "Yes. Yes it is."

Mello leads Nate more into the clearing then the two lay down on the grass on their backs looking up at the blue sky hand in hand. "You know." He begins. "It's much more beautiful with you here." He turns his head to look to Nate as the other does the same.

"Same to you." Nate says with a smile.

Mello moves closer to Nate since before they were kind of making some kind of V shape but now he is by Nate's side. He places a gentle kiss on Nate's cheek.

Nate places a sweet gentle kiss on Mello's lips.

Mello returns it.

They there kissing for a little bit as their hands move to have their fingers intertwined. They pulled away when they felt in desperate need of air.

Nate cuddles closer to Mello closing his eyes in happiness. "Thank you Mello." He says.

"Anything for you." Mello responds with a warm loving smile.

Nate blushes softly. "I'm glad I get to be with someone as amazing as you." He admits.

Mello nuzzles Nate's cheek. "All I need is you." He tells him.

Nate closes his eyes happily.

After a while of just talking to each other about different things until the sun began to set.

They get up and head back to the orphanage.

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" Mello asks looking to Nate as they walk. "You can stay with me in my room if you want." He offers.

"I think that would be nice." Nate agrees.

Mello grins. "Then its settled." He says and they arrive back at the orphanage.

They head inside and towards the cafeteria to get something to eat.

Mello leads Nate over to the food and finds that supper is some stew.

The two get some then settle at a table to eat.

Nate seems to like the stew which makes Mello smile as he also eats the stew.

After eating they put the dishes to where they are supposed to be before heading out of the cafeteria.

Rodger who was walking by pauses and turns to them. "I take it everything is going alright?" He asks.

Mello nods. "Yup."

"Do you need me to drive you home?" Rodger asks Nate.

"He's staying here." Mello explains. "I'll make sure he's all good."

"Ok." Rodger says.

Mello turns to Nate. "Come on." He leads Nate towards the bedroom area.

Rodger watches them go. "Yes. I definitely do believe that this is going to be very beneficial for Mello." He says to himself then he continues on his way.

Linda approaches him. "Rodger."

Rodger looks to her. "What is it?"

Linda watches him. "Mello and Nate aren't sharing a room are they?" She asks.

Rodger blinks wondering what's gotten into her. "Well of course they are."

Linda's eyes widen. "But Mello could do disgusting things to him."

Rodger almost wants to sigh. "Linda. They will be fine. There is no reason to interfere with them at all." He tells her. "So let them be." He then continues on his way.

Linda huffs at Rodgers answer then turns away. "But… Homosexuals are dangerous…. Father… Mother…. They….. Those homosexuals… Killed my family….." She hangs her head. "Why can't anyone else see the danger in them?"

Mello had moved Nate's clothes to his desk chair then the two sit down on Mello's bed as Mello wants to show an interesting book to Nate. "This book I think you might like." He says as he shows Nate the book.

Nate looks at the cover. "It does look interesting." He agrees.

The two begin reading it together making sure both of them are done before flipping the page sometimes even discussing parts of the book with each other diving deeper to really read into the book.

When they are done it's already dark outside.

Mello sets the book on his desk then shifts to allow them to crawl into the bed to get some sleep. He holds the blankets up for Nate to crawl in then settles the blankets over Nate's body. He gets up going to the light switch to turn off the lights before joining Nate in bed.

Nate cuddles against Mello as Mello lays on his side wrapping his arms around Nate. "I love you Mihael."

"I love you too Nate." Mello gently kisses Nate's lips.

Nate kisses back. "Mihael." He whispers the others name when they break apart.

"Yes?" Mello almost hums.

Nate glances away with a blush. "Um." He starts. "Would it be ok if…." His blush turns his face red.

Mello watches Nate patiently.

Nate looks back to Mello only to glance away again. "I mean. I don't want you to think that it's all going too fast but…." He eventually decides to switch to showing Mello. He closes his eyes and seals his lips over Mello's.

Mello kisses back and his eyes slip to half closed only to fall closed.

Nate opens his mouth in invitation.

Mello can't help it and plunges his tongue into Nate's mouth happily.

The two make out for a bit then Nate gently tugs on Mello's shirt.

Mello follows Nate's gentle pulling which makes him roll over top of Nate with the other on his back under him and their excited members pressing together. He pulls away and the two open their eyes looking into each other's eyes. "Are you sure?" He asks wanting to be sure Nate is ready.

Nate smiles gently and nods. "I am sure." He says then presses a kiss to the edge of Mello's mouth. "I don't know how long I have to live." He says. "If I happen to die from this. So please. You are the first person I love like this. I trust you."

Mello smiles and places a gentle kiss on Nate's nose. "Alright. If you believe you are ready." He agrees. He kisses Nate on the lips and grinds his hard erection against Nate's own making the other moan into the kiss. He smirks in the kiss at that.

Nate's hands slip to Mello's shirt and slips under it gently trailing his hands along Mello's stomach and chest.

Mello can't help but moan softly at that.

Nate's touch is so soft it's almost like the gentle touch of a butterfly.

Mello shifts up enough to take off his shirt.

Nate takes in the sight as Mello lowers himself back over top of Nate.

Mello begins taking off Nate's shirt and Nate moves to help him with that.

Nate's shirt soon joins Mello's shirt on the floor.

Mello kisses down Nate's neck as the other tilts his head back with a soft moan and gently gripping Mello's hair.

Nate's one hand stays in Mello's hair while the other rests on Mello's shoulder.

Mello places a kiss on one of Nate's nipples. He moves his fingers down to Nate's pants.

Nate shivers in pleasure and on instinct he bucks his hips to grind against Mello's making them both moan as their erections rub against each other through their pants.

Mello is quick to get the rest of their clothes to join their shirts on the floor. He slips one of his hands to Nate's entrance. His breath ghosts over Nate's jawline as he speaks softly almost as if the words are just traveling along a single breath. "Relax. It'll feel better."

Nate nods in understanding and takes a deep breath to relax himself.

Two of Mello's finger tips trail along Nate's entrance before one slips inside.

Nate gasps at the intrusion.

Mello hushes him gently as he places a kiss on Nate's jawline. "It's ok." He moves the finger in and out.

Once Nate is relaxed Mello adds the second finger stretching him then the third finger.

At this point Nate' starts to whimper Mello's name.

"Please….." Nate gasps. "Please Mello!"

Mello's fingers are taken out and he moves his hips forward pressing his erection against Nate's entrance. "Ready?"

Nate nods eagerly. "Yes. Take me."

Mello pushes his hips forward burying himself inside of Nate.

Nate throws his head back with a moan of pain.

Mello stills once he is fully inside. "Relax." He mummers soothingly.

Nate takes deep breaths and relaxes only to find the pain being replaced by pleasure. He nods to Mello who takes it as the signal to move which is exactly what he does.

Mello and Nate moan each other's names as Mello thrusts into Nate slowly getting faster and harder.

Nate wraps his arms around Mello's neck so his hands are kind of on the area between the back of Mello's neck as well as Mello's back. He pulls the blonde down to seal their lips together.

Mello kiss Nate who kisses back with it quickly becoming a heated make out session.

The two break the kiss panting not only from lack of air but because both of them are close.

"Oh." Mello moans. "Nate. My Nate."

"Ah." Nate moans back. "Mello. Mihael!"

Mello licks up Nate's neck as one of Nate's hands moves back to his blonde hair.

Not long after both of them let out slightly loud moans of each other's names as they cum.

Nate on their stomachs and chests.

Mello inside of Nate.

The two slump together as they try to catch their breath.

Mello pulls out of Nate and gently kiss his forehead. "Get some rest my love."

Nate closes his eyes and soon is asleep.

Mello plops onto his side next to Nate only to wrap his arms around Nate's waist pulling him in close. His eyes slip closed and he is off into dreamland.

The shower and clean up can wait until tomorrow.
