Our Chocolate Romance - Mello x Reader (Death Note Fanfiction)

In Sickness and in Health

~Mello's POV~

Shit, shit, shit!!

I sped down the highway on my motorcycle, making my way home as fast as I could. Matt had called me twenty minutes before to tell me about {Y/N}. She had passed out at the mall and wasn't getting up. Of course, he didn't want to call 911 because, well, {Y/N} doesn't like the thought of doctors and things like that. When she had broken her arm, we had to go through hell to get her to agree to see a doctor.

I finally got off the highway and went down to our street. I saw our driveway and felt a small tinge of urgency. I turned off the bike and ran to the door, not even putting my kickstand down or anything. I opened the door, ran upstairs and into the bedroom to see Matt standing beside {Y/N}, who was laying down on the bed. Her face was pale, but not lifeless. As soon as I saw her, I ran to the bed and took her hand.

"Oi," I said, "{Y/N}, come on. Wake up!"

Her hand was its normal, warm temperature. I knew that was a sign that she was okay, but I still went off. "COME ON!! WAKE UP!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!" I yelled, then I turned to Matt. "And you, what the hell, Matt? I TRUSTED HER TO YOU!!"

He put his hands up in a defending position, as to say he was innocent. "Listen, Mel, I know you're probably not gonna listen to me, but she wasn't feeling well all day. Since this morning. Just calm down. It's probably just a fever or something."

That's right. She's gonna be fine. Besides, she was fine yesterday.

I took a deep breath and sat on the edge of the bed. "So?" I said. "What do we do now? If she's like this... I don't wanna go..."

Matt gave me a blank stare. "Eh? Go where?"

I sighed. That's right, I haven't told him, either. "Well, Boss called me to the headquarters today, and... I'm in charge of the mafia for the duration of the Kira case, and quite possibly after that, too, depending on how I manage everyone."

Matt's eyes went wide. "S-seriously? That's awesome, Mel!!"

"Yeah, thanks..." I muttered, "But soon we'll have to transfer the case to Japan, since the only suspect L had was in Japan. But if {Y/N}'s health is bad, we can't go!"

Matt sighed. "I don't think that she's that bad, Mello. She's gonna be fine."

"Yeah... I know. It's just..." I choked up. "I can't lose her, too."

~{Y/N}'s POV~

I hear... A voice.

"I can't lose her, too."

That voice... Mello...

"Yeah, Mel, I know. But she's a tough cookie. She'll be fine."

That's Matt... Wait, are they talking about me? What the hell happened? Let's see, I wasn't feeling good at the mall, and then I panicked when my ears were ringing, and... I don't remember after that.

I forced my eyes open, and even so, just barely. "Mello..." I mumbled weakly, and his vision snapped from Matt to me.

"{Y/N}..." He said, gripping my hand. I guess he had been holding it. "You're finally awake, huh? How are you feeling?"

I shrugged. "I don't know... Matt, what happened?"

He looked at me with an apologetic expression. "You passed out at the mall. So I brought you back home and called Mel. I didn't call any ambulance or anything, so don't worry."

I sighed. "Thanks, Matty. And Mello, didn't you have a meeting?"

He gave me a look of disbelief. "You passed out. You're more important to me than the mafia. Besides, when Matt called, I'd just gotten out of the meeting."

"So?" I asked. "What happened? What was it for?"

He glanced at Matt and back at me. "I'm gonna take over the mafia for a while. Well, until Kira is caught. And maybe after that. But we might have to move to Japan for the remainder of the case."

I gasped. No fucking way... "Oh my God, Mello! That's amazing!!"

He blushed and looked away. "We're not gonna leave until about next month. And if you're not well, then I'm gonna send someone else to take care of it."

I nodded, and then felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I winced and Mello grabbed me. "What's wrong?" He asked, and I shook my head in dismissal.

"Nothing. I'm fine. My stomach just hurts a bit. Maybe I'm hungry or something."

He gave me a look of suspicion but nodded. "I'll go get you something to eat. What do you want, babes?"

Babes...?

"I'm kind of craving some fish and chips..." I said, giving him the puppy dog eyes.

He sighed and nodded again. "I'll go get it."

"No!" Matt said, "Stay with {Y/N} in case something happens. I'll go get the food."

Mello shrugged, and I watched Matt leave the master bedroom. He was worried.

Mello crawled into the bed and laid down beside me, petting my head. "I'm so happy that you're okay..."

I smiled at him. "I wouldn't give up so easily!"

He smiled at me and kept quiet for a bit. Finally, he mumbled, "I wonder what happened to you..."

"My stomach has been killing me." I said.

"Maybe you're just having some hardcore PMS..."

PMS... Wait, I haven't gotten my period this month...

I got up and went to the dresser, where my phone was sitting quietly on the top. I went into the calendar app and saw that I was supposed to get my period three days ago.

In the shock of the moment, I dropped my phone as my hands flew to my mouth. "Mello..." I said, "My period is late for this month..."
