This one's dedicated to my friend Brian, who passed away on August 23rd at 7:31 PM.

Words can never describe how much I miss you, and when you were pronounced dead, I felt my entire world just crumble around me. Wherever you are, I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you. I'm sorry that you were in so much pain that you ended your own life. I'm sorry for everything I ever did to you, it be an argument or every time I said that I loved someone other than you unknowingly. Every time I rejected you, up until these few months, which ended up being the best out of these couple years. If I could take all of that upon myself, I would. Hell, if it were up to me, that day in the hospital, if I could've switched places with you, I would've done it in a heartbeat. Now I'm just waiting. Waiting for someone to love me like you did. Waiting to be able to see you again. Waiting for someone to tell me that this is a dream. At 7:31 that night, when they told me you were gone, my world collapsed, and I felt every ounce of hope drain from me. I knew that you weren't coming back, and that's what hurt most. I would never see those dark brown eyes, that messy blonde hair, that priceless, joker smile again. But wherever you are, in Neverland, Wonderland, MU, Heaven, wherever. I'm gonna try my best to live and love for both of us. Just as you would've done if I had died those times when I was in the hospital. Brian, you will be missed. Dearly, actually. Come back to me, idiot. I miss you. Yours truly, madly, and always, Jaz Naya.

NOW TO THE FANFICTION CHAPTER!

~{Y/N}'s POV~

"So," I said, "You and A... How did you guys, y'know, get together?"

B shrugged. "It just happened, I guess. I just started noticing little things, like how beautiful his smile was, and how my heart just beat a little faster when I was with him."

I snickered, and B glared. "I know, it's cheesy, alright? But it's how it went. And then one day in the dorms, one thing led to another, and... Yeah."

"So? Who topped? Who fucked who?" I joked.

"Me," he seriously explained, "I can't be submissive, really. I'm sure that Mello's written that down in his notes. I'm not a submissive person in character."

I felt my cheeks go warm, and B smirked. "Learn to pick on people your own size, {Y/N}."

"Whatever," I dismissed, stretching my arms and then running a hand through my hair.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure that we've gotten to at least the halfway point." B said, and I nodded.

Halfway there...

"So? What's your plan? Are we gonna blackmail a Shinigami or are we just gonna hop into the portal thing and pray for the best?" I questioned.

"It depends on you, really. We'll see once we're there. Right now, I feel in need of a nap."

"Really? Can you even sleep in MU?" I sighed, and B nodded.

"It's hard to, but yeah. I like to sleep."

"Okay. Break to nap, then," I agreed. "Goodnight, I guess."

~B's POV~

I waited for {Y/N} to fall asleep before I did, making sure that she could sleep. Once I knew she was sleeping, I let myself drift off.

"B..." A voice said, sending shivers down my spine. "Why're you with her? Why aren't you with me?"

It was A. I couldn't see him, but the voice... It was A.

"Because I'm helping her. Trying to make up for all the bad shit I did while I was alive."

Somehow, I felt arms wrap around me, around my waist, pulling me closer to the figure of A that I couldn't see. "Come on, B, we both know that's not true. What's the deal?"

"What do you mean?!" I demanded, my heart racing. Having me this close to him...

"We both know that this isn't some good deed you're doing. So, what is it that you're really doing?"

"I don't know."

"You're lying," he sneered, "You're doing this for something else. Admit it. What is it?"

"I told you already, I don't know."

"Stop lying to me, B..." He mumbled against my ear, grinding his hips into mine. A whine escaped my mouth as my mind was taken into the pleasure of having my A again.

I exhaled. "I'm doing this because I need to--"

"B!! WAKE UP!!" {Y/N} yelled, and I jolted awake.

"What-?!" I yelled, frantically looking around me.

"Jesus Christ... You were crying and talking in your sleep." {Y/N} frowned, "You don't even remember what you were dreaming, do you?"

"No," I lied, "Why? What was I saying?"

"Gibberish, mostly. You said 'A' a few times, but that was it. I thought you were having a wet dream until you started crying."

"You're lucky that I did, then. Trust me, it would've got real awkward, real fast," I joked, and she smiled.

"You and him, do you remember the last time you saw him?"

"I was the one that saw his... Body... First. And I was also one of the few people to see him in the morgue after we had taken him to the hospital and called 911." I said, trying to seem unfazed at the question.

"Oh. Sorry." She immediately regretted, and I dismissively waved my hand.

"I'm over that part. I'm more worried about the fact that he's here, now. And that now he's either gonna bother me, or one of you guys."

"Us? Why would he bother us?"

"Because he's actually quite the fan of yours," I admitted, "He watched every bit of your story."

"Story?" She echoed, "You mean my life?"

"Yeah. I'm sorry, but your life is literally just like a fanfiction. He lives off that shit."

{Y/N} rolled her eyes and got up, dusting off her clothes. I did the same, humming 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to myself.

"Whoa, B, you like Queen?" {Y/N} asked, and I nodded.

"Well, to a certain degree. I just like rock music. Bohemian Rhapsody is my favourite song."

"Heard that Panic! At the Disco's gonna cover that."

"They are. And I think it should come out pretty good. But nothing's gonna beat Queen's original."

She grinned and stuck out her tongue. "I was more of a punk girl, myself, but hey, rock music fucking rules."

I smirked back at her and high-fived her as we began walking towards the Shinigami Realm. I knew we were starting to get closer to it, and that soon enough, I'd have to help her get to the human world.

Do I really wanna go back there?

"Hey, {Y/N}, what're you hoping to do when you go back to the human world? Like, you wanna see Lawliet, but there's gotta be something you wanna do."

She looked up and shrugged, her face coated with an emotion that was unidentifiable. "I honestly don't know. I wanna see my baby. Maybe I just need to see Wammy's House again, but I feel like I have to go there. To see Law."

I hummed at her response and forced myself to smile.

This is gonna be a long ride, huh?

~Mello's POV~

"Mello, seriously, we've been walking for a long time. Can you please give us a break?" Matt begged, and I groaned and nodded.

"Fine. You've got ten minutes," I said, exasperated with the whole situation.

So far, we've walked around and seen nothing. {Y/N}, where the fuck are you?

"Don't worry, Mel, we're gonna find her," Matt assured me for the thousandth time, but somehow, I still didn't believe it.

"I'm telling you," I insisted, "Something's wrong, and B is planning something."

"Even if that's true," L began, "B wouldn't dare hurt her yet. He likes to test things out with his victims. Plus, there's a higher likeliness that he's actually taking her to the Shinigami Realm. It's in this direction. And her initials aren't BB or QQ."

"Do you really think that I'd take a break if I thought {Y/N} was going to be murdered?" Matt questioned, and I shook my head.

"We're already dead, Matty, and you already said it yourself. You think B is planning something."

"Of course I do, because an asshole usually doesn't do nice things. B is an asshole. But I also trust that I'd have some kind of premonition, and that {Y/N} wouldn't let herself fall into some kinda bullshit trap."

That's true, she's not stupid. She knows when something's wrong, and she can fight back. But still, she's my wife... Dead or not, I don't want her to face pain.

"Hey, Mello," L mumbled, "Mind helping me see who that is? I somehow feel like it's--..."

I turned in alarm to see a male figure with brown eyes and hair walking slowly in front of us.

Light. Yagami.

"Light Yagami." I completed, getting up and storming towards him. He didn't see me until my balled fist connected with his face. "You fucking asshole!"

"Ow, ow, fuck!!" He screamed, pushing me off him. The minute he caught himself and saw my face, his eyes widened and his mouth turned up to a smirk.

"Ah. It's you. Mello. Mihael Keehl." He mused, and I felt my entire body go warm with rage.

I leapt towards him, letting punch after punch go loose on his face, until Matt and L pulled me off him. "Mel, Mel, what the actual fuck's gotten into you?" He yelled before looking at the male that had been beneath me.

Then he went ballistic. "You fucker! It's all your fault!! My nephew's an orphan! My girlfriend's all alone!! {Y/N} has fucking depression!! We don't even know where the fuck she is!! All because your stupid ass tried to play God!!"

Neither L or I held Matt back as he beat Light, watching his rage slowly unfold. He had been the most collected one out of us, and he deserved this. To let his emotions loose. Yes, Kira did intend something good. However, good and bad need to balance, and Light Yagami became so obsessed with power that he began to lose his own mind. And losing his mind meant destroying everything. Everything we had loved.

Finally, he stopped and got up, and I didn't waste a moment in pulling him close to me. "It's okay, Matty, breathe," I whispered, his breath ragged and uneven. "Just take deep breaths."

"It's all his fucking fault, Mello. If we never see her again, it's his fault." He sobbed, and I hugged him tight. "I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't afford to lose her. I can't."

"Sorry, Matt, I'm sorry. I've been putting all my worries on you. I know, you're worried."

"Just like you can't, I can't live without her. I'm not even fully over her, Mel. I love her."

I smiled and patted his back. "I know you do. She loves you too, and we're gonna get her back."

As I calmed him down, Light managed to stand up and L laughed. "Well, look who came crawling back to me, huh?"

"Oh, get over yourself," Light moaned, "I didn't even know you were here. Didn't know useless orphan failures were allowed in MU."

I felt another pang of anger hit me, and I pushed Matt off me and rushed towards him, slapping him as hard as I could. "You have no right to speak to us like that." I scowled.

"Eh? You're gonna play with the grown ups?" He laughed, "Who was it that died like a dog after your, 'heroic', kidnapping of Kiyomi Takada? Hmm?"

Matt was the one to shut him up, by stepping forward with the wildest look I've ever seen. "And who was it that played God, lost his fucking mind, and then ended up rotting like a forgotten piece of shit? We tried to stop you. We put our lives on the line, we fired bullets, did actual work. Your cowardly ass sat in a room with a fucking notebook."

Light grit his teeth and looked at L. "Whatever, I'm not here to pick a fight. In fact, if I had known you guys were here, I would've avoided you."

"I guess I'm lucky that I recognized you, huh, asshole?" I chuckled.

If we're going to see {Y/N}, she'd wanna kick his ass, too...

"Hey, guys," I said to Matt and L, "How about we give this one to {Y/N} and B?"

Matt's eyes shined in appreciation, and L gave a small smile. "I agree. Light Yagami, you're coming with us."

"Uh, yeah right. Make me."

~TIME SKIP~

"Okay, so how far do you think we are, L?" I asked, and L sighed.

"Not sure. Plus this idiot's making it hard to think with his complaints every two minutes." L said, gesturing towards Light, who was walking behind us, handcuffed to L.

"Well, I mean, it's kinda annoying to be right back to square one, y'know!!"

"Oh, shut up. You know you like it. Stupid man whore." Matt snarled, and I highfived him, enjoying the fact that we finally got ahold of the man that basically ruined everything for us.

"Hey, Matty," I whispered, "When we find {Y/N} and B, what do you think they're gonna do to the douchebag?"

"Oh, Mells," he replied, "Words will not describe the shit {Y/N}'s gonna do to him."

"Ha, you make {Y/N} sound like the serial killer, and not B."

"You've seen the hell that {Y/N} can raise when she's pissed. You've felt it firsthand, too."

I shivered at the thought of having {Y/N} punch me, her rings creating even more of an impact on wherever her fist landed.

"Yeah, she doesn't show mercy." I agreed, and L rolled his eyes.

"You're both two sides of the same coin, I swear. Both of you are so in love with her that it's not even funny." He teased.

"Oh, shut up, you. You know you love her just as much as we do. Huh? '{Y/N}, I'm leaving you in charge of there idiots until I get back from Japan' is the gist of what you'd told her. You love her, too."

"Whatever, as long as we get her back."

"I would know if we weren't gonna get her back. Somehow, I'd be able to tell. We're gonna get her back." I mumbled.

We're gonna get her back.

~{Y/N}'s POV~

"Well, {Y/N}," B mumbled, "See that, over there?"

I looked to where B was pointing to see a bunch of rocks in a dark, gloomy area.

"That," he continued, "Is the Shinigami Realm."
