42nd Blast || Mello || [Accidental Video]

[worldsrunnerup.livejournal.com]

[There's a calender on the wall of M&M's apartment, one that probably came with the place as the image on top is one of a sappy Norman Rockwell knock-off. A boy and a dog playing under a Christmas tree. Mello is staring at the date however. December 13th.

His birthday.

There are so many reasons why this seems surreal. For one his 20th birthday was less than eight months ago, it had been the summer at the Manor but January in his world, so the idea that it was his 21st makes it seem unreal. Second, thanks to B's handy eyes he now knows he won't actually make it this far. Five minutes from the time he was transported here he will die.

It feels almost like a play. It can't really be his birthday, right? But there it is, printed in front of him. Mello sighs and pulls the calender off the wall. He really doesn't want to deal with his birthday right now.]

[Not much about Wammy Kids is traditional, birthdays aren't an exception.]

Yeah, that ain't happening. Leave the present outside the door and walk away.

[A pause.]

I will not lick your scar again, Mihael Keehl. I already know what it tastes like. I also will not hurt or kill you. I want you to be able to show this present to L.

[Yeah that's something he'd rather not relive. He's not helping B get near L.]

Leave now.

How can I be sure that you'll give it to L if I leave?

[worldsrunnerup.livejournal.com]

It's my present, I'll do whatever I want with it.

[b-isforbetter.livejournal.com]

If I see you open it, you can ask me about it.

[worldsrunnerup.livejournal.com]

I'll figure it out.

[b-isforbetter.livejournal.com]

I cannot give it to you if I cannot watch you open it. And if I don't give it to you, you may not be able to solve the murder before it happens.

[Mello freezes. There's no answer behind the door]

[B grins to himself. He knows he has him, now.]

Open the door, Mihael Keehl, and we will analyze my gift together.
