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.]

You really don't need to get me anything.

But I would like to.

[His version of an apology, maybe. For the bitch slapping. Although Mello deserved that.]
