Time After Time

Fourth Time Around

I was busy working the following day. Same old, same old. Mello had died again, or I'd dreamt he died again, whichever. All I knew was that I was here now. Whether as I'd been here before or not, I just had to do my best while in the moment.

"Mells, I've made a list of things that could go wrong," I handed him the list and he frowned at it.

"Nothing I do ever goes wrong. How dare you assume -"

"Mello!" I interrupted him. "Just read it and beware. You're not invincible, you're not one of Matt's video game characters. I just want you to be prepared."

He stared at me for a minute before nodding, "Ok, thanks," He said quietly.

I knew he had too much pride to admit he could ever be wrong, so it was a big deal that he was even considering my list. I hadn't thought that far ahead, I'd kind of forgotten how stubborn he could be.

"Uh, Y/N?"

"Hmm?"

"You're totally staring at me," He blushed slightly as I snapped out of it.

"Sorry," was all I could manage to say as I turned back to my files.

*Timeskip brought to you by my apparent ability to run in this fic*

This time I got to him with seconds to spare and hauled him out of the truck.

"What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled.

"Get out, get out!" I yelled back as my sudden superhuman strength pulled him off the seat and through the door.

I grabbed his gun while he was confused (yes, I had to reach down the front of his pants to get it, the sacrifices I make) then I ran to open the back door and shoot that bitch.

"Y/N, that's not according to plan -"

"Screw your plan!"

I grabbed his hand and pulled him after me. I didnt know if the church would still go on fire but I wasn't taking any chances.

"We did it!" I shrieked and leapt into Mello's arms.

He made a 'what the fuck' face.

I almost screamed "I love you" but managed to stop myself.
