Part 13

~Unplanned~

Mello had long since gotten out of Matt embrace, though suffice to say he missed it, and they stood rather awkwardly in the middle of the room. Neither had said much since then and time was ticking away. They needed to come to a decision and long before morning. But with things being left unsaid their conversation was going nowhere, stalled in uncertainty.

"Matt. I don't want to get rid of it." Mello mumbled and cautiously looked up, being close enough to see Matt's eyes widen behind the goggles. Mello wondered if he'd made a mistake in telling the redhead and took a step back as dread crept along his insides.

Would Matt side with L?

But Matt didn't let him get far; taking two steps towards him and gently taking hold of his left arm.

"I don't want you too either... but..." Matt trailed off and Mello knew what he was thinking. What if it wasn't all theirs? Would they be able to get rid of it once it was born and it exhibited signs of being partially, if not completely, of supernatural origin?

Could they... kill it?

"Could you live with it, if we had to..." Matt trailed off not seeming to want to even speak of it and stared directly into Mello's eyes and despite everything Mello felt his stomach flop pleasantly.

"We'll have to, if it comes to that. Are we deciding that we are keeping it?" Mello felt the words stick in his mouth, his tongue feeling slow and heavy as nervousness took hold of him. What they were thinking was life changing in more ways than one. They would have to leave, go into hiding and do nothing that could be tracked by L. And then there was the baby itself; they didn't know how to care for one, they didn't know the first thing about them, or the pregnancy which was unnatural in and if itself...

"It's not just me, it's your body. Do you want to?"

Mello looked at Matt, really looked at him, searching his features for anything that would tell him what Matt felt. But it was the small and seemingly unconscious rubbing of Matt's thumb across Mello's wrist that told Mello everything he needed to know for that moment.

"Yes." Mello smiled weakly at the slight relief that flickered across Matt's features. They were really going to do it. They were going to keep it. Mello forced himself to swallow normally and take a shaky breath.

"Matt, what are we...?" and once the words had left his mouth Mello could have kicked himself. Matt was hardly stupid and would immediately infer the meaning.

Are we friends or...?

"I don't know. I really don't know." Matt touched his forehead to Mello's and though the answer hurt, at least it was truthful.

"I liked what I remember of the night but I'm confused about certain things. You've been my friend for so long that it's difficult to wrap my mind around anything and I... Can we just figure out what we are going to do and get back to this once we're safe, please?"

Mello had been wholly unprepared for that admission and simply nodded, as much as he could with Matt leaned against him. "Can you get passed L's security, even if it's only for a short time? Otherwise I don't think we are going to get far." Mello finally asked, mind working for their most current problem per Matt's request.

"I can get through it for maybe forty seconds. But if L even remotely suspects that I'm attempting to hack his system in advance I won't be able to do it. We can't make it obvious that we are leaving. The only place he doesn't have cameras is in our rooms, of that I am certain."

Mello hadn't known that though they could make use of that lapse. L should have put cameras everywhere, even the bathroom; Mello thanked whoever was watching out for them that L hadn't.

"We can't look too suspicious so we can't take anything that is obvious. Double up on clothing but not too much that it looks bulky." Matt told him, seemingly thoughtful.

"Matt, your games-"

"Can be replaced." the redhead smiled at him, though Mello knew it would be hard for him without his games.

"Are you at least taking one of your handled and a charger?" Mello prodded as he moved away from the redhead and over to his dresser where he eyed the clothing inside. There were so many things he wished he could take but when it came down to it they could all be replaced as Matt said. And it wasn't like he would be able to fit into half of them in a few short months anyway, Mello thought ruefully.

"Yeah, I can fit two of them in my vest pocket and they both work with the same charger. I can probably fit a few games in as well as the disks are small. But we really need to make sure we have essentials first..." Matt trailed off and Mello supposed it was because he had taken off his shirt.

L was observant and would wonder why that particular long-sleeved shirt wasn't on him when he left the room. Mello was only glad that he hadn't been wearing a short-sleeved one. He was able to fit two t-shirts and another long sleeved on underneath before it became too much of a hassle to try.

He doubled up on everything else he could; boxers, socks and the like. He managed to squeeze a pair of jean on underneath two pairs of sweatpants, which were actually Matt's. He hid a few bars of chocolate on him as well as a pack of Matt's cigarettes, though he hated that the redhead smoked them.

When Mello was finished he looked over to see Matt struggling to shove his vest overhead and held back a laugh. Matt looked like he had gained about twenty pounds in the last five minutes. It wasn't bad enough where he thought L would notice immediately, however the longer it took for them in the hallways the easier it would be for L to tell something was wrong.

"Mello, I think we should stage a fight."

Mello cocked his head to the side in silent question.

"Well, why else would we be wandering around the security doors. If you were running down the halls and I was chasing you it wouldn't seem as odd as you are known to loose it a bit when pissed off."

Mello frowned at the assessment, no matter how true it was, though could see how it made sense. "Alright. Do you have everything we need? Money, laptop and-"

"I've got everything that I can think of. We could spend all night at this and I'm sure we would forget at least one thing we'll need later. But I have the main ones like our IDs."

"What about passports? We can't stay here..."

"We have no choice for the moment. I'll see if I can't find someone who will do them for us since we can't take commercial transportation."

He must have let his expression slip as Matt smiled softly at him as he spoke. "We'll be alright, but right now we just need to get away and everything else will fall into place later, ok?"

Mello nodded to the redhead and though he glanced around the room once more for anything possibly forgotten, he couldn't see anything. Mello already had the most precious things to him hanging around his neck and the other standing beside him.

"Ready?"

Mello nodded. He knew they would have to act as though they'd fought but Mello wanted it to look more authentic, so as he grabbed the door handle he grinned slightly at Matt before wrenching it open and letting it slam against the wall; from Matt's expression he'd expected something like that.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" Mello snarled, putting as much of his anger into his words as possible. As Matt stepped towards him Mello threw his fist, slow enough where he knew Matt wouldn't actually be hit by it but fast enough where it wouldn't seem faked.

He was surprised as Matt caught his arm and spun him, pinning him to the wall. Mello knew it was part of the act but it still sent his heart racing.

"And why should I?" Matt asked, voice low and deep; Mello swallowed and forced himself not to think of other applications where Matt's voice had sounded like that.

"Get off me!" he shoved Matt hard and hoped the redhead wouldn't get hurt. Mello didn't stick around to see and bolted down the hallway. He knew where they needed to go and knew that Matt wouldn't be far behind; Mello also knew that L would be watching.

And probably Near and Watari.

Mello ran as fast as he dared, taking corners almost too quickly to keep his balance and racing down steps as he heard the feet pounding away behind him. He fought to keep the smirk off his face; he was in no danger and if not for the situation could almost say it were fun as he hadn't been able to stretch his legs like that in quite some time.

Mello was partially breathless as he reached the meeting place, hands on his thighs as he bent over to ease his breathing.

Matt skidded to a stop hardly ten seconds later but didn't pause like Mello had to catch his breath, instead going around Mello to quickly fiddle with the security panel. It was a race against time and each second seemed like centuries; Mello expected L to round the corner with Watari aiming a gun at them at any moment.

"Got it!" Matt grabbed his hand and left no time for talking as they were suddenly running through the streets and despite the severity of the situation Mello couldn't help but feel relieved.

With Matt he didn't have to be at his best, he didn't have to do case after case or be at the top of the class to have his approval. With Matt, Mello supposed he could be happy…

"Come on Mello, we just need to get far enough away to take a taxi." Matt's breaths were harsh and Mello's hand was warm where Matt gripped him; Mello couldn't begin to answer and simply let himself be led. He didn't know where they would be come morning but knew that as long as they were together everything would be alright.
