Title: No Man Is an Island (Side Story)
Rating: As with the main story it will start out about PG-13 then rise later.
Notes and Warnings: So still quite tame, though another incidence of boy kissing. The Side Story will likely stay pretty tame given the ages of Mello, Near and Matt, so it likely won't be locked down unless something crazy happens. Language because yes it's Mello.
Mello was focused on just getting back to his room and forgetting the whole morning had even happened. Just as he reached his door he was grabbed into a fierce hug.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, Matty." He tried to make his voice sound reassuring.
"Still it sucks." The younger boy stated. Mello couldn't help but nod.
"You totally need a day off."
Mello laughed. "Good luck with that. It is a very nice thought though."
"I'll make L." Matt sounded determined.
He smiled. "I'll be fine."
The look on his friend's face clearly said he wasn't buying it.
Mello shook his head. "Just help distract me, for a little while anyway."
Matt smiled taking his hand. "That I can do, and gladly."

Mello was feeling a bit better, as much as he could anyway at the moment, as he rounded the corner to his room a few hours later. Of course his mood soured almost instantly when he saw who was waiting for him.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"You definitely don't strike me as a quitter, so why?"
"It's none of your fucking business, Kira." Mello glared.
Light smirked moving closer so he was directly in front of the younger boy. "You think I'm afraid of you?" His smirk widened. "Perhaps you aren't so interesting after all. Should I be having this discussion with Near?" He kept moving forcing Mello to back up until he was pinned against the wall. "After all he's the one who's a threat to me now, not you little Mihael."
"Fuck you." Mello spat out.
Light shook his head then leaned forward brushing his lips against Mello's.
The teen tried to push against him, but Light wouldn't budge as he deepened the kiss. Mello couldn't stop his eyes from closing. With Near it had felt 'right', for lack of a better word. It had been like rain after an impossibly humid day that finally allowed you to breathe. This was nothing like that. It was being too close to an inferno. You know it will engulf you at any moment and yet you don't give a shit because in that moment it was fucking beautiful. This was dangerous. And fucking hell was it exciting.
Light finally pulled away leaving him breathless. It was only at that point that he realized he had grabbed on to one of the older boy's arms. "Near will only ever see you as one of his toys. He'll use you whenever it suits him and then he'll discard you just as easily. Don't you want more?" His voice was low and enticing.
"Fuck off." His breathing was erratic so his words didn't carry any heat.
Light simply laughed as he played with a strand of the younger boy's hair before moving away. "I can give you more, but I won't wait forever." He turned and made his way down the corridor as if nothing had happened.
