Hot Mello (Book 1)

Where Are You? (3)

*Mello pov*

Y/N spent most of the flight asleep on my shoulder, in between reading a random novel I'd bought her at the airport. She was exhausted, from crying and the stress I'd caused her. Plus we'd stayed up late doing stuff, you know. I'd been so scared she wouldn't want me anymore or she'd pity me. But nothing had changed, she was even coming to Japan with me. Thank god I'd gone to see her before I left. I couldn't lose her, she was the one fucking good thing I had.

*Y/N pov*

Mello brought me straight to our new residence when we landed in Japan. It was a tiny flat but it was ours. His best friend was coming from England to work with him, he was so excited it was cute. He had an hour to kill so we made out on the couch and then 'christened' our new bed.

Ahem, anyway...he left to go collect Matt. He'd asked me to go with him but I wanted to give them some time to catch up alone. I unpacked and put my stuff away, then lay down to rest.

He arrived back with his friend, who was totally cool. They'd grown up together but hadn't seen each other in a few years.

"So you're the girlfriend. Nice! I can't believe you got a girlfriend before me, Mello."

"You've had girlfriends, Matt. Ignore him, Y/N. She's mine, hands off." Mello warned Matt.

"I know, I know!"

*Timeskip*

A few days later, Mello told me about his plan. Matt would help him kidnap the spokesperson of the serial killer he was chasing. It was a huge case in Japan so they were risking a lot but he assured me it would all go fine.

*Mello pov*

I'm about to ruin my girl's life. She looks at me lovingly and devotedly as I tell her my plan. I've debated whether or not to tell her just how risky it is. She hasn't been watching the news, she never does and she doesn't know Japanese. She's so innocent and I'm going to break her heart and I hate myself for it, but I need to solve this damn case. It would be kinder to warn her but in the end I'm too much of a coward. I can't watch her heart break in front of my eyes. So I say goodbye and leave her, with a false smile on my face.

I'm so sorry Y/N, I Iove you...
