Hot Mello (Book 1)

Just Some Fluff

*Mello pov*

I woke up one morning on my couch. I felt a warmth beside me and looked to see that Y/N was asleep leaning against me. She'd come over to help me with some work until late and I guess we both fell asleep. It felt nice to be so close to her, she felt nice. I stayed still so as not to disturb her while I gazed at her.

She's so pretty...

Damn, what was I thinking? I didn't care about stuff like that. And yet I wanted to reach out and push her hair back off her face. I wanted to kiss her. She woke up as I was thinking this and smiled at me.

"Hey..." She greeted me sleepily.

And I knew it right then, I was in love.

"Hey," I replied, so nervous I could hardly get the word out.

She moved off me and I felt lonely. She mumbled about needing to use the bathroom and I watched her stand up and walk off. Then I tried to pull myself together and got up to make her a cup of tea. I didn't know what she wanted for breakfast so I waited to ask her.

*Y/N Pov*

I worked with Mello all morning. I couldn't believe I was in his apartment and had slept practically on top of him. I wanted to get to know him better. A lot better. He was somewhat mysterious at the mafia, he expressed his feelings and emotions yet never really talked about his life. I knew he had some personal investment in the Kira case but I didn't know what or why. I didn't really care about that, I wanted to know him as a person, I just wanted him dammit.

We stopped for a break at lunchtime and he decided we deserved a drink. He only had beer so we went to the shop so I could get cider and we could both get chocolate. We were soon comfortable on the couch again and he asked if I wanted to watch something.

I put on an anime I'd just started, Tsurezure Children. It was about first crushes and trying to confess.

"It's so cute," I commented.

"Yeah, they're all so bad at this, it's funny," He agreed.

"It's not easy to tell someone how you feel," I sighed. "Have you ever told anyone?"

"No, but I've never really liked anyone. I think I like someone now though."

"Oh. I know I like someone."
