Readers point of view

I yawn and struggle to keep my eyes open. It's nearly 9 in the morning. Nine in the morning. I've only been able to stay up thanks to red bull, monster, and some shitty excuse for coffee. I still haven't come up with a way to tell Mello how I love him. It's a lot harder than I thought. 'Maybe I could just be like Mello, I need to talk to you. There's something that's been on my mind lately. It concerns us. No, no, no. Not like that' I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Mello groan.

My head shot up and I stared in his direction. "Mello?" I called out softly. He groaned louder and his eyes flickered open. He looked over at me. He looked me up and down. "Damn, you look like hell." He said. "Oh so that's the thanks I get for staying up all night looking after your ass? Than your welcome asshat" I spat. He slowly sat up and started to take the needle out of his arm. "You have to leave that in, and your actually supposed to be still laying down and resting. I'm gonna go get your food. I had to put it in the fridge last night shortly after I fixed it." I said getting up.

"I'm not hungry," he said. "Your eating." I said as I walked through the door. Matt was in the living room, still watching the screens. "Any movement from Misa?" I asked as I walked by. "Yeah, she's doing what she calls her 'morning ritual'" he said. "Ritual? Oh and Blondie's up" I said heating up Mello's food. "She means take hours to pick clothes and make up" Matt answered. "Damn, it only takes me thirty minutes" I said as I poured me coffee. "That's what she said" Matt said, I could just hear the smirk in his voice. I put the food on a tray and slapped him upside the head and said "shut up" as I walked by.

I walked into the room and saw Mello standing in front of a mirror. He was looking over the bandages, probably wondering what the scar will look like. I cleared my throat and he spun around. "I said I'm not hungry" he said giving me a look and crossing his arms. He winced a little in pain. "And I said your eating, now uncross your arms and get over here and eat" I said sitting the tray down at the little table in the room. "No" he said. I looked up at him. My sassy side coming out. "No? I'm sorry, as I recall I'm the 'nurse' here. I looked after you all night. All night Mello! Now I am not in the mood to deal with your attitude! Now get your ass over here and eat the damn food!" I spat. "No. Why the hell would you stay up all night to look after me? You should've been watching the screens!" Mello replied.

I put my hands on my hips and said "I was up all night because a certain SOMEONE was so fucking stupid to blow up the bloody building with themselves inside! Like damn Mello! Do you have a fucking death wish! You couldn't have stopped an thought 'hey I shouldn't do this cause I actually have people who give a damn about me! They wouldn't wanna see my body in a damn coffin! They'd wanna see me alive, well and happy. Maybe I shouldn't do this! Now I was kind enough to stay up all fucking night to look after your sorry ass because I actually care about you, so does Matt! Who do you think tended to your wounds! And as a thanks you say 'you look like hell!' We were kind enough to stay up all night! Now get your ass over here and eat your damn food!" I yelled knowing that if someone was outside they'd hear me.

Mello looked shocked, he was about to protest when Matt yelled from the living room "just eat the food Mels, she's right after all" Mello looked at me, I could tell he was shocked. He still walked over to the table and sat down and ate in complete silence. I sighed and went to the living room to get the salad as well. I walked back in the bedroom and saw him still eating. I sat down the salad beside him and he didn't even make eye contact with me. I walked back to the recliner and sank down in it. I let out a sigh of relief. My eyelids felt heavy and I soon fell into a deep slumber.

Mello's point of view

I sat there eating in complete silence. 'At least she can cook, I'll give her that. But what does she mean by care? There are different ways people care about one another. I know Matt cares for me as a brother, but what about her?' I thought. I looked over my shoulder and saw her sleeping in the chair peacefully. I smiled a little. 'I never knew y/n looked so adorable sleeping.' I admired her for a while and than went back to eating. 'How do I feel about her? Is it love? I can't allow myself to fall in love. I can't go soft!' I thought as I gritted my teeth and clinched my fist. 'But....maybe I could only go soft for her, maybe. But what if I'm wrong in assuming she loves me? I don't want her walking out of my life completely. And I certainly don't want her getting hurt in this Kira case. No. She won't get hurt, I'll protect her. No matter what.' I thought as I soon finished the food. 'Now, how do I tell her?' I soon thought after.

Reader's point of view

I awoke to find Mello in the same spot he was when I last saw him. It didn't even look like he moved. "Mels?" I spoke softly. "You said you cared about me, I know Matt cares about me like a brother. I never knew you did." He spoke darkly. "Well yeah, of course I do. Why else would I put up with your attitude?" I said with a smile. In a matter of seconds he was up and hovering over the chair. Our faces were so close I felt his breath. "How much?" He asked.

"W-what?" I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. I knew I was bright red. "How. Much." He repeated. My breathing stopped for a second before I spoke "a-a lot" A smirk made its way onto his lips. "Well than, I guess you won't mind if I do this than." He said. Before I could answer he crushed his lips on mine. I tasted chocolate on his lips, even though he hasn't eaten any today, it would be a flavor stuck on his lips. I moaned at the contact as he ran his tongue over my bottom lip. I opened my mouth slightly and he invaded my mouth with his tongue. He brushed his tongue against mine and ran his tongue across every space in my mouth. Not missing an inch. Before long he pulled away, only a small string of saliva was left.

We both were panting a little. He stared into my eyes and I into his. "What was that?" I broke the silence. He chuckled lightly before speaking and said "me claiming my territory" I gasped. "Okay one, I am not territory. Two, yes Mello I will be yours." I said blushing even more. He left a small peck on my cheek and said "I love you y/n" "r/n" I said right after. "What?" Mello asked confused. "My real name is r/n" I repeated. He smirked. "Well I love you r/n" I smiled and said "I love you Mello" "Michael, Michael Keehl" Mello said. I pushed my hair back and said "I love you Michael Keehl"

I smiled and said "Now its time to change your bandages again." He groaned and laid down on the bed, I grabbed the gauze and began taking off his old bandages. He sighed. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing" he said. "Your lying to me," I said as I threw the old bandages away. "Fine, its just. Now I'm left with this ugly scar." He said. "Mello acting emotional? That's a first, anyway. I personally think you'd look kinda hot with it" I smiled. He blushed a little and looked away.

I soon finished with his bandages and laid in his lap. Matt came in soon and looked at us. "Whoa, you two getting comfy or what? Just remember you two, one o you is injured and to always use protection" Matt said with a smirk. Mello threw a chocolate wrapper at him and said "shut up" I just smiled and clung to Mello more, I was happy now.
