Tattoo

Author’s Note: Dear God it’s been a while... But I needed to write this. I want tattoos when I’m older, and must confess to having decided to get an “M” on me, for Mello. My Matt is considering getting an M(squared). Don’t own the lyrics – It’s Linkin Park’s In The End.


“I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go.
And for all this,
There’s only one thing you should know...”

The night before everything went black, they visited the tattoo parlour across the road. They made their orders, and lay watching each other as the needles buzzed and their minds whirred. At some point their fingers connected – the pain wasn’t too bad, not considering what they’d been through, but the knowledge was.

The knowledge that the sex that night was fantastic because they hadn’t slept for three days, and they were both desperately trying to press out of their bodies and into something better, more real than the reality they were enduring.

The knowledge that, no matter what, there wasn’t anything anyone could do to save them anymore.

But the knowledge that they would die for a just cause, an equivalent Christ in a New World... That knowledge made it bearable.

When Matt and Mello died, they died on the same day, as beautifully, arrogantly and desperately as they had lived.

They also died with the other’s letter on their skin.

“I tried so hard,
And got so far.
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter.
I had to fall,
To lose it all.
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter...”
