Matt x Mello

MELLO POV

After a couple nights in the infirmary, I was free to go back to my room. I felt horrible that I hurt Matt. I don't know how I could face him again. I took a deep breath and opened the door. There was Matt, sitting on his bed staring at his Gameboy Color. He didn't even look up when I came in. I sighed and sat down on my bed. "I'm sorry." I said. 

"It's no big deal." He said. He didn't look up from his game. 

"Yes, it is!" I felt tears forming in my eyes. "I hurt you and I don't know how you can forgive me. I understand if you want to cut all ties with me." I looked at the ground. He probably hated me.

"Really, Mello, it's fine." He set his game down and looked at me. "Are you... crying?" I wiped a tear off my cheek. He stood up and walked to my bed. He sat down and put a hand on my shoulder. "Please, don't cry." He wrapped his arms around me. At first I was surprised, but I hugged him back and sobbed into his shoulder.

"I love you, please don't leave me alone!" I cried. 

"I would never leave you," he said and rubbed my back comfortingly. We pulled away from the warm hug and I saw a tear fall from his eye. I wiped it away for him. "I love you too." We hugged again and there was a knock at the door. I stood up to answer it. Watari was standing there holding a box. 

"Sorry to intrude," He said and stepped in. "Matt, your new goggles." He handed the box to Matt. Once he left, Matt kissed me on the cheek and put on and adjusted his new goggles.

MATT POV

I wanted Mello to be happy. It wasn't his fault he'd hurt me. The wounds were almost fully healed, and as I'd expected, they'd both left scars. I stared at my Gameboy without turning it on. I wouldn't be able to focus on my games for a while, would I? I heard the door open and pretended to be playing something. I glanced up for less than a second. Mello was standing in the doorway. He let out a sigh and sat on his bed. "I'm sorry." He said. Oh, no. He was blaming himself for what happened. 

"It's no big deal." I didn't look up, trying to hide the tear rolling down me cheek. I don't think he noticed it.

"Yes, it is!" I was startled by his outburst, but stared at the blank screen nonetheless. "I hurt you and I don't know how you can forgive me. I understand if you want to cut all ties with me." I sighed. I hated it when he was upset. 

"Really, Mello, it's fine." I tried to smile, but it was worthless. The tear dripped off of my chin as I looked up. "Are you... crying?" I don't know if I'd ever seen him cry aside from the day of our first kiss. I didn't want him to cry. I didn't want him to be sad or upset over something out of his control. I set my Gameboy down on the bed quite forcefully and hurried to his side. "Please, don't cry. I held him close. I never wanted to be apart from him again, but did he really feel the same? I felt tears soak into my shirt as he sobbed into my shoulder. Seeing him like this made me cry more openly, so I allowed myself to cry as well.

"I love you, please don't leave me alone!" I squeezed him tighter. Did he think I would give him up? 

"I would never leave you." I tried to comfort him, but I don't know if it was working. I hiccuped, choking on sobs that wanted to escape me. "I love you too."
