Orphan!Bestfriend!Reader x Mello

You remember the first day you were at the orphanage. You were 8 years old. You were shy, antisocial and alone. It all changed when a certain golden haired boy came to talk to you.

You were sitting on a bench in the garden when a boy the same age as you came and sat next to you. He had goldy blond, chin length hair but the thing you noticed was that he had the most wonderful blue eyes. "Hi! I heard your parents were killed in a plane crash. That must have been horrible. I know exactly how-"
"You think you know how I feel? Do me a favour and get lost! I don't need your pity!" you spat. You hated the looks of sympathy everyone gave you. It made you feel weak and pathetic.
"No can do!" he grinned "You don't want to be alone in this place. You need a friend. If you don't talk to people you will never have a new family and you'll be alone. That would be sad wouldn't it? So i'm Mello what's your name?" he asked as he held out his hand. You stared at it for a while, then finally reached out and took it.

You and Mello had been best friends ever since. You were both (age) now. He had always been there for you even through the toughest of times. Although, he had changed alot from the sweet, kind little boy who first came up to you. Now, he was competitive and easily wound up, but his feelings for you never changed. You would always be best friends. Right now you were both sat on the sofa watching a movie with Matt and Near. The lights were out and the room was almost pitch black if it wasn't for the glowing TV screen. You knew the four of you were supposed to be in bed but had stayed up anyway. Matt had fallen asleep with a cigarette in his mouth, Near was curled up on the other sofa asleep and you and Mello were awake but drifting off. It was late and you were getting sleepy so you leant on Mello's shoulder to shut your eyes. He rested his head on top of yours and you soon drifted off to sleep. As you felt sleep wash over you you heard shuffling and moving about. You were too tired to care. Then someone tapped your shoulder. "Y\N!...... Y\N" It was Mello. "Wake up!" You opened your eyes and groaned.
"What? I'm trying to sleep!" Then you closed your eyes again. He flicked you on the forehead.
"Wake up, idiot! If we fall asleep here in the morning Rodger will find us and we'll be in trouble!" He continued trying to get you up. You gave in and got up rubbing your eyes. "C'mon, I'll carry you to your bed if I have to." You stretched then looked at Matt and Near. They were sleeping like angels.
"What about them?" you asked, pointing at the sleeping pair.
"They can get caught in the morning, let's go." he replied and you laughed.
"Mello, you can't do that!"
"Why not?"
"You can't leave them here to get caught. It was sort of your idea to come down here anyway."
"And?" he said trying to suppress laughter at the thought of Rodger shouting at them in the morning.
"You're not leaving them here." you said Mello rolled his eyes. He scooped you up off the sofa into his arms.
"Watch me." Mello carried you up the stairs bridal style and walked down the hall to your room before dumping you on your bed. "Get some sleep and wake up early tomorrow so we can see Rodgers reaction when he finds them two." You smiled a little while drifting off to sleep.

Screams rang out and blood roared in your ears. You felt so scared that you thought you might throw up. You were 8 again and you were supposed to be on your way to (country name) for holiday. The sound of air rushing around the outside of the plane as it fell from the sky combined with the screams was enough to make anyone die of a heart attack. There were sobbing parents clutching their children, elderly couples holding hands but most were in the safety position. You turned to look at your parents. They were in the recovery position. You felt your mothers hand grip yours. She looked you in the eyes. "Y\N, always remember" she choked back a sob. "Mummy and Daddy will always love you very much!"
You smiled back innocently. "I don't understand, mummy. Why would I forget?" You said these words just before you heard a massive explosion and fire engulfed the entire plane. The last thing you saw before everything went black was the reflection of fire in your mothers glassy eyes. You came to very quickly and looked round. There were flames everywhere, and charred bodies. Reflected in broken glass you saw your reflection, your terribly burnt skin, a gash across your arm, the dried tears on your face. The last memory played out in your mind like a horror movie. Your parents still in their seats next to you but their faces so burnt and messed up you could barley recognise them. Fresh tears made their way down your face. Now you understood what your mother had being trying to say. "Mummy! Daddy!" you cried. You grabbed your mothers hand. Panic rose in your throat. You didn't know what to do. So with the last of your breath, you screamed.

You couldn't stop screaming. You squeezed into your mother's hand and cried. "Ow! Please wake up Y\N!" You felt your shoulders shake. Your eyes slowly opened. Your eyes and throat felt sore from crying. Mello was knelt on the bed next to you, concern in his eyes. "Are you ok? What happened you were screaming and crying and I couldn't get you up!" You stared at him blankly before getting up, letting out a sob and burying your face into his chest. You held him tightly never wanting to let go. Mello hugged you back. The pair of you stayed like this for a while before Mello gently pulled you away and got off the bed. "Y\N, it was about your parents wasn't it?" He said gently while wiping away your tears. Your voice shook.
"T-they're dead. I'll n-never get them b-back. They're gone" you said the last sentence before breaking down again. He rubbed your back soothingly.
"I'm not telling you to forget about them, but you have to move on or you'll never stop having these nightmares."
You sniffled. "I can't ever move on! They were my parents and i loved them! They cared for me all my life and never gave up on me, they loved me."
"I love you dammit!" he snapped but looked like he immediately regretted it. He looked at the floor and his cheeks turned a light shade of pink. Then he brought his face close to yours and you felt your lips connect. You melted into the kiss- your first kiss. It was perfect. Hello eventually pulled away and grinned. "I mean i love you more than a friend. So don't linger in the past when you can look to the future. Our future. Together."

It was a beautiful morning and you were asleep until a shout woke you up. "WHAT THE HELL??? HAVE YOU TWO BEEN DOWN HERE ALL NIGHT?" Your eyes shot open and you made a sudden realisation. Well 2 realisations. The first was that Mello was in the bed with you spooning you from behind. You blushed at his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. At that moment you knew you would never have another nightmare, not while you had Mello to love you. He was your new family, all you would ever need. "AND WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT SMOKING IN THS HOUSE MATT???" The second realisation you made was that you had forgotten about Matt and Near and they were likely getting yelled at by Rodger. You chuckled to yourself as you sniffled back into the bed wrapped in Mello's arms.

I'm so sorry this took so long!!! Can you forgive me? 😥😥😥 I hope you like it anyway! :)
