Scream: a MattxMello fan fiction

part six

*Matt's POV*

I came back to the house to see Mello with his uncle, two strange men, and one woman.  This is super trippy, especially since I don't know who these people are, aside from his uncle.  I said to them, "Hi.  I'm Matt, Mello's boyfriend.  You must be Mello's mom and brothers."

The woman smiled and asked, "How did you know?"

I shrugged. "Just a lucky guess.  Mello does talk about you a lot, ma'am." I looked over at Valentin, who had his arm wrapped around the woman.  I asked him, "Excuse me, who's this?"

Valentin replied, "This is Viktoriya, my little sister and Mello's mother." She's hotter than I thought.  Man, I bet when Mello was a kid, the kids had a crush on his mom.  I looked at the two strange men sitting by Mello with a weird expression.  He said, "The one with the long black hair is Viktor and the one with the blond hair is Nikolay.  They're his older brothers." The one with the blond hair looked like he was afraid of me...like I was going to hurt him or something.  I approached him carefully and said to him:

"Nikolay, I won't hurt you.  I promise.  I'm Matt...I'm a safe person to be around.  Okay?"

He asked timidly, "You won't hurt my big brother or my mother?" I shook my head.  He smiled. "Good.  You're alright.  I'm sure little Mello is very happy with you." I blushed and nodded.  Mello gently nudged him and said:

"I'm nineteen.  I'm not little anymore."

Nikolay replied, "You're ten years younger than me, Mello.  So yes, you are little.  You'll always be little to Viktor and me." Mello blushed and snuggled up to his mom for much-needed comfort.  She smiled and held him close to her body while rocking him in her arms.  He said with a soft laugh, "You can still be coddled by Mama, baby brother.  That's how little you are!"

Mello sighed. "After what I've been through all these years...I need Mama's cuddles." He looked up at them and said, "I have something to tell you...mostly about what I've been doing."

Viktor asked, "What have you been doing, Mello?"

He said, "I've been in the mafia for a few years now...because Rod knows our uncle." Mello wrapped a blanket around himself. "I know it's crazy, but it was either that I join the mafia, or I sell my body to survive.  Rod and his guys have been very good to me." He finished with, "In simple terms, I'm following in Valentin's footsteps."

I added, "Rod's the boss." What I didn't expect was his mom to say:

"I know who Rod is, Matt.  He wanted to date me when Mello was very little...but unfortunately, I was with Vladimir, their father, at the time.  We were still very good friends."

Mello and his brothers cringed at their mom referring to Vladimir as their dad.  I don't blame them though.  I wouldn't want to call him my dad either.  Viktor looked over at me and I saw his gray-green eyes that were just disturbing to look at.  I can tell he's the one you don't want to fuck with because he's definitely intimidating on the surface.  He's probably very nice if you stay on his good side though.  Viktor said lowly, "Don't make him relive that trauma...please.  He's suffered long enough."

I replied, "I've never thought about making Mello relive that stuff.  Besides, Rod's been more of a dad to him than that bastard ever has."

Mello chimed in. "Rod is my dad.  He's your dad too, Matt.  He adopted us, remember?" He hugged his mom. "But nobody can replace my mom." It's nice knowing that my boyfriend's happy now and that his family's back together.  One thing's for sure, his brothers have really missed out on a lot.  Mello laughed softly and said, "Matt really likes his video games." I smirked at him like I was going to say that he plays games with me sometimes.  It's not very common to see him play video games, that's for sure.  Eh, he doesn't have to.  I just wish he would more often.  It's kind of boring just watching him work himself to death over catching Kira.  He's only two months older than me, but still.  He got up to hug me and he asked them, "What do you think?"

I honestly thought Mello's mom, his uncle, and his brothers would ostracize me and not accept me, but boy, was I wrong.  Nikolay cleared his throat and said, "Matt's a very nice man for you, little brother.  As long as you're happy, we're happy too.  We would never get in the middle of your relationship with someone unless they were a bad influence on you."

His mom stood up and hugged me. "Welcome to the family, Matt." I'm so happy they like me.  They seem like such sweet people.  It's still really sad to know what they've gone through though.  I wish they never went through anything like that, but there's not a whole lot that can be done about it anyway.
