05 † [accidental video]

[slavic_sinner]

[It wasn't supposed to turn on when it somehow got kicked toward the opposite wall, but the communicator does so anyway, showing a somewhat skewed angle of Mello sitting in some building. His arms are wrapped around his knees, head down over them, shoulders shaking softly as if he is crying silently. And there is the softest whisper--]

I'm sorry,

Comments

[cursed_twin]

Are you all right?

[slavic_sinner]

[A startled flinch, and when Mello looks up, there is a passionate mix of rage and heartbreak shining in his eyes. And yes, his face is tearstained.]

Fuck off.

[...sorry, Fay. He thinks it's real and he doesn't want to talk about it.]

[cursed_twin]

[Blinks, and then gives a small smile]

If that's what you wish.

[slavic_sinner]

[Silently looks away. He doesn't know what he wants.

It doesn't make sense... but right now, to him the nightmare is a memory of reality and his reality right now is that he let Matt die.

He doesn't turn the comm off though]

[Voice]

[red_hot_stripe]

Mello...? Why are you sorry..?

[Voice]

[slavic_sinner]

...what?

[Voice]

[red_hot_stripe]

Mello, it's me... You never came home... Sasuke came for me.

I still hear the laughter though Mello. Please? Come home...

[Voice]

[slavic_sinner]

An illusion...?

He-- But I...

Matt? Wh-what-- What do you mean?

[So confused now. But he wants to believe...]

Please turn on the video.

[theloneheir]

Pathetic.

[slavic_sinner]

Shut the fuck up.

[theloneheir]

No.

[slavic_sinner]

[As you please. No answer for you then. He doesn't even care right now.]

[glasgow_smilin]

You'll be sorrier when I get my hands on him, blondie.

[Giggling.]

[slavic_sinner]

What?

[glasgow_smilin]

Nothing, nothing at all. Just might wanna check the mouth on your butt-buddy before it gets him- and you- into trouble.

Oh, and I don't mean the normal way you check his mouth, if you catch my meaning. [More chucks.]

[slavic_sinner]

[a wordless snarl before he can form words]

You even fucking think of laying a hand on him and I swear to God I'll blow your motherfucking brains out.

[unlucky_blood]

And so another falls into the easy trap.

[slavic_sinner]

Shut up.

[unlucky_blood]

Does that ever work?

[slavic_sinner]

Shut the fuck up.
